How to stop letting worry interfere with your moments of triumph

Do you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop in times of joy? Many of us are guilty of worrying even when things are going well in our lives. However, recent research has found that fully experiencing your emotions of joy can help you cope more effectively with times of distress. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychologist at the University of California-Riverside, says that positive emotions do not set you up for disappointment, but rather can actually help you achieve your goals and desires by ameliorating your outlook on what you hope to accomplish.

There are simple steps to help yourself savor the good moments without dwelling on the potential bad. Focusing on your values, finding pride in your accomplishments, and noticing when you are spiraling into a hole of worry will all help you come to terms with the reality that a balanced life is a healthy life, and loving the good moments is productive and well deserved, not naive.

9 random acts of kindness you can do daily

Research tells us that when we do something kind for someone else, we feel more compassionate, energetic, and happier overall. Typically, when we think of an act of kindness, we think of things like holding the door for someone or donating money to charity. But there are so many little acts of kindness we can do every day that truly matter—both for people and the environment. Here are some random, yet simple acts of kindness you can do tomorrow.

First act: BYOM (Bring your own mug). Think about how many coffee shops are on the planet and how much waste they’re creating because of these single-use cups, lids, and sleeves. Now, consider what might happen if you brought your own to-go mugs or ask for the coffee in a mug. How might that impact the amount of waste you’re sending to the landfill? Just by bringing your own mug, you start your day with a simple act of kindness.

Second act: Do the planet a favor and stop purchasing plastic water bottles.

Third act: Offer the benefit of the doubt. It’s easy to jump to conclusions, isn’t it? But instead of judging someone prematurely, consider other scenarios and give them time to explain. You’ll keep your own space even-keeled in the process.

Fourth act: Give someone your full attention. Consider this quote by the French philosopher and activist Simone Weil: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” How true is that! Ignore your phone and give someone your full attention—they will surely appreciate it.

Fifth act: Wear secondhand clothes. Purchasing your clothes from a thrift store or having a clothing swap with your friends is kind to the planet, and it’s kind to your wallet.

Sixth act: Say “hi” to someone new. It can be awkward for many people to make eye contact and say “Hi” to strangers, but it’s one of many kind acts that could make someone’s day. View it as a personal experiment, and be curious about what happens when you do.

Seventh act: Be inclusive. Consider what it feels like to be left out, and think about inviting that person who may seem on the fringe. It might mean a heck of a lot to that person and will most likely make you feel great.

Eighth act: Have a kind commute. Don’t be a jerk on the roads—it will only make your anger boil.

Ninth act: Give yourself a break. After all, kindness should include you too. READ MORE

Reef Reproduction

This scientific breakthrough could save America’s biggest coral reef

Like Australia, the US has its own “Great Barrier Reef”, lying just off the coast of the Florida Keys. It’s the third-largest coral reef in the world, and it’s in serious danger. As the temperature of the oceans continues to rise, the corals are dying off at an unprecedented rate. If nothing is done about this problem, the US could effectively lose its giant coral reef. But there’s a reason for hope.

This week, scientists at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa successfully managed to get a group of coral to reproduce two days in a row, marking the first time this has ever happened in the lab setting. In order to make this happen, the scientists reproduced the natural environment of coral by using coral greenhouses that utilize advanced LED technology and a computer-control system that mimics the natural environment of coral. When the conditions are just right, the coral is subtly signaled to reproduce.

The successful result is part of what the aquarium calls “Project Coral”— a program designed in part with the goal of ultimately repopulating the Florida Reef Tract. So far, the project seems to be on the right track. READ MORE

How to identify an edible wild mushroom from a poisonous one

After all this talk about mushrooms last week, you might be tempted to go out and pick some mushrooms yourself. That’s not a bad idea, but before you go, you need to learn how to properly identify an edible mushroom from a poisonous one.

While the odds of you picking an edible mushroom rather than a poisonous mushroom lies heavily in your favor, experienced mushroom growers are quick to point out that foraging for mushrooms should never be thought of as a game of chance. The consequences of making a wrong guess or a misidentification about whether a mushroom is edible can be severe, sometimes requiring a liver transplant or even resulting in death.

To get the full scoop on how to identify mushrooms in the wild, have a look right here. READ MORE

Could magic mushrooms be the answer to depression?

Lying on a bed in London’s Hammersmith hospital ingesting capsules of psilocybin, the active ingredient of magic mushrooms, Michael had little idea what would happen next. The 56-year-old part-time website developer from County Durham in northern England had battled depression for 30 years and had tried talking therapies and many types of antidepressants with no success. His mother’s death from cancer, followed by a friend’s suicide, had left him at one of his lowest points yet.

Listening to music and surrounded by candles and flowers in the decorated clinical room, Michael anxiously waited for the drug to kick in. After 50 minutes, he saw bright lights leading into the distance and embarked on a five-hour journey into his own mind, where he would re-live a range of childhood memories and confront his grief. For the next three months, his depressive symptoms waned. He felt upbeat and accepting, enjoying pastimes he had come to feel apathetic about, such as walking through the Yorkshire countryside and taking photographs of nature. Through mushrooms, Michael broke through his “mental shackles”.

Completed in 2016, the trial with Michael was the first modern study to target treatment-resistant depression with psilocybin. The trial happened in the UK, but similar trials could become a reality in the US, with Oakland becoming the latest US city to decriminalize mushrooms. Could magic mushrooms become a treatment for depression? Have a look at this story from The Guardian and find out. READ MORE
