annyshay Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 As some of you remember from various drops and hints, I'll be travelling to Antarctica in early February for two weeks on a National Geographic cruise. It's going to be AMAZING. A big part of why I want to go is to see as many penguins as I possibly can, so I figured what better way to theme the challenge leading up to my epic adventure. Let's find some penguins!!! 12 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

More joyful movement for everyone (this is something that I am still having a really hard time with actually since movement was such a punishment or chore for so long)! 2 Quote Love as thou wilt.

WhiteGhost Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 10 hours ago, annyshay said: These things are important, yo. https://www.girlsgonestrong.com/blog/confidence/body-embracement/5-strategies-to-cultivate-body-respect-in-a-thin-privileged-world/ I was surprised that the author hinted at a very important point but then never came back to it. In the beginning she said that putting our life on hold until we reach our goal is a waste of time (i.e. we are literally wasting our time now that we could be doing important things while waiting for X). However, I was a little disappointed that she didn't mention that for the vast majority of people, reaching our goals does not really bring any long term satisfaction. How many people say I will be satisfied when I reach X, and then on reaching X say, actually I would really be satisfied if I can only get to Y. And then it's on to Z, ad infinitum. If we aren't able to find happiness in our current condition, the likelihood that we will find happiness in our "ideal" condition is negligible. 9 Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment
