Gratitude🖤

❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I was elated,

Out of the world

Still grounded,

When the strange familiarity,

Unexpected but still longed for

Allured me -

Once again

When I caught him in you,

Unaware,

Not necessarily him though

Yet again

And I still knew;

Couldn't bridle this feel though

Lingering

Within me

In its entirety,

In the depths of my soul

So dark and never traversed

Holding the roots

Of the tree

Standing all tall

Bearing proudly

The saccharine fruits of

Waiting

Ripening into a blissful longing,

Turning bright red

Protractedly

With deliberation

In anticipation

Of fullness of time

Speculating

His enterprise,

Though not him

Yet grateful to the

Masquerade

or Pasquinade is it,

For accentuating the tree

Standing all tall

Glorious and thriving,

Serene,

No greed,

In the sentient, dark depths of my soul

To be traversed.

Repetition✨️

What's it?

A way to discern the fallacy

Or a persisting scar

Attended with redundant attention

To waste time

As a punishment

For the fallacy commited?

how much exercise should you do per week for maximum health benefits?

note: while getting enough of different types of exercise is important, as different types of exercise bring different primary benefits, the most important thing is that you are moving your body! don’t feel pressured to do a strict amount of cardio per week if you don’t like cardio, especially if you are new to exercise. this goes for any other type of exercise. it’s totally okay to do the exercise you enjoy doing, as long as you are doing it!

how much cardio should you be doing?

while this may differ according to your personal health, conditions you may have, your goals, etc. (as with any other form of exercise), the general advice given by professionals and the American Heart Association is at least 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity or 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week. if we are going with 150 minutes per week, this would mean at least 21 minutes per day, or 30 minutes 5x per week. this schedule may vary depending on your schedule, but the overall goal is 75 or 150 minutes per week!

how much strength/weight training should you be doing?

while different professional sources have varying opinions on this, the most common advice is 60-90 minutes per week. if we are using 90 minutes per week, this would equal to 13 minutes per day, 18 minutes 5x per week, or 30 minutes 3x per week.

how much yoga/stretching should you be doing?

it is important to at least include a short cool down stretch after your workout to prevent injury and reduce soreness, but when it comes to yoga, it is recommended that you include at least a 1 hour session 3x per week, although doing a bit each day is considered ideal. using the guide of 3 hours per week, this would equal 26 minutes per day, 36 minutes 5x per week, or 60 minutes 3x per week.

how much pilates should you be doing?

while many do not include pilates in their routine or do not consider it necessary, i and many others find it incredibly beneficial due to its ability to work the smaller muscle groups that weight training usually does not. it is generally recommended that you do a 45 minute session 3-4x per week. this would also equal 19 minutes daily if you prefer to split it that way.

I said before that Persephone’s section shows her as a very passive figure who does whatever the largest personality/force in the room does.

Was I… blind?

I’ll just leave these here

“Marilyn had a never-ending thirst for knowledge and self-improvement. She loved poetry and music and was instinctively drawn to culture, to all the arts, but money and power were not to be gained by coercion; especially not when applied to Marilyn. She would flit off like a butterfly. I remember her saying. ‘If they aren't going to be fair and nice, I can always leave. I can get by on very little. After all, I've done it before.’”

— Jane Russell on Marilyn Monroe
