Three ways to be heard at work when you’re naturally introverted

There are distinct benefits to being both an extrovert and an introvert. But when you lean more toward the quieter side, it can be challenging to make sure your voice is heard, especially at work. Speaking up as an introvert can be stressful, but there are tips that can help you use your voice in a way that feels comfortable and optimal for you. Here are a few, as recommended by clinical psychologists Michael Alcée and author Jennifer B. Kahnweiler.

First tip: write down your ideas first. Introverts tend to process a lot, and Alcée says that it can be helpful to write down your thoughts before a meeting. That way, you can allow yourself the space to clarify your ideas first, so you’re then more comfortable presenting them to others.

Second tip: guard your alone time. Because introverts tend to be more introspective, it’s helpful to carve out time during the day to let your thoughts percolate and recenter yourself. That alone time is “preparation time.” By taking the time to be alone during the day, you can feel more ready to speak up when you’re in a crowd, or even in a one-on-one meeting with your manager.

Third tip: be open about the way you communicate. There’s no shame in being a quieter person, so there’s no reason not to be upfront and direct about it — which is why Kahnweiler suggests telling your colleagues that you’re more introverted. Jumping into a conversation can perhaps be overwhelming at first, so letting the group know that you’re quieter right off the bat can help you feel more comfortable in the room. Then you can ease your way in. READ MORE

Want to go to space? Here’s what you need to know

Most of us would have never imagined traveling to outer space in our lives, but these days, it’s looking ever more possible for the average Joe to go into orbit—or at least, an average Joe with bags of money.

This month, Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic announced it is going public and is preparing to send its first customers into space within a year. More than 600 people have placed deposits topping $80 million in total thus far, while another 2,500 want to get in line. Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin is also keen to send people into space, while Elon Musk announced last year that his company, SpaceX, has a customer lined up who will pay to fly around the moon. On top of that, NASA made a change in policy and said it would allow space tourists to visit the International Space Station as soon as next year.

At the moment it seems space, the final frontier “where no man has gone before”, may soon be full of humans casually passing by with cameras and intergalactic passports. If you’re keen to get in on the action, here’s everything you need to know to become a potential space explorer. READ MORE

How science fiction continues to shape real technology today

If you ever watch Star Trek, you’ll notice something very interesting: the wristwatch they used in the show has many remarkable similarities to today’s smartphones and smart watches. This isn’t the only instance where science fiction later became science fact. In 1945, long before the first satellite orbited Earth, Arthur C. Clarke famously described how radio signals could bounce off satellites for long-distance communication. Today, communications satellites are common.

It’s no secret that science fiction has played a role in the creation of new technologies, but quantifying the impact is hard to quantify. Indeed, technologists would love to better understand the way fiction influences the development of new technologies. Today, that is beginning to look possible thanks to the work of Philipp Jordan at the University of Hawaii in the US and a few colleagues. These folks have studied the way researchers involved in human-computer interaction use science fiction in their work. And they find not only that science fiction plays a significant role, but that its impact is on the increase. So, in what areas of science will science fiction play a role in development?

According to the researchers, one is for theoretical design research. Another is to refer to and explore new forms of human-computer interaction, which researchers increasingly think is shaped by science fiction books and films. And there is the study of human body modification, which is perhaps best explored via the medium of fiction.

To get a more detailed look into the intertwining relationship between science and science fiction, check out the research right here. READ MORE

Good News for the Ocean

Over 600 divers in Florida just set the record for biggest underwater cleanup

It’s amazing what people will do to break a Guinness World Record. Just this past weekend, for example, hundreds of scuba divers entered the waters of Deerfield Beach in Florida for the largest underwater cleanup the world has ever seen.

The previous record was reportedly set in 2015 by a group of 614 divers in the Red Sea. This time around, a team of 633 divers took part in a two hour cleanup of the coast. To break the record, divers entered the ocean in groups and had to stay in the water for at least 15 minutes.

The amount of rubbish collected has not yet been measured officially, but apparently, divers retrieved 1,600 pounds of lead fishing weights alone, the result of years of anglers cutting their lines free. If one underwater cleanup can retrieve that much waste, hopefully, another cleanup will beat the record soon. READ MORE

Keep Showing Up

How to keep your relationship healthy during times of stress

When we’re feeling a high level of stress, our brain’s prefrontal cortex goes offline, hijacking our capacity to think clearly and limiting our ability to solve problems. Especially in relationships, stress can bring the worst out of us and make us too focused on ourselves. This can leave both partners feeling alone and disconnected, amplifying an already stressful situation. To maintain your relationship, you need to keep showing up for yourself and teach your partner how to show up for you. The following four steps will teach you how to do just that.

First, be extra diligent about communicating your needs during this time. Tune into yourself first to see what it is you might be needing during a stressful time. Do you want your partner to just listen, or do you want them to engage in problem-solving with you? Do you want a hug, do you need space? Be specific about the behavior you need. Then when you’re feeling less stressed, find out what your partner might need when they’re dealing with stress. The tables will turn at some point.

Secondly, touch your partner. Physical touch releases oxytocin, the cuddle hormone, which helps calm our nervous systems and promotes well-being. Touch between romantic partners is so powerful it can even provide relief from physical pain.

Next, don’t put all your eggs in one relational basket. We need our partners the most during stressful periods, but it’s important to recognize that support can also come from others. One critical way to protect your relationship is to lean on friends and family members who you trust with your vulnerability, especially if your partner is also caught in stress.

Lastly, keep showing up for yourself. This means being compassionate to yourself and finding stress reduction strategies that work for you when you’re alone, whether it’s meditating, exercising, or just making sure you get enough sleep. Finally, remember that you’re not alone with what you’re feeling. Everyone experiences stress sometimes, and there are other people in the world who feel the same as you right now. READ MORE
