New, much needed flair... "Mental/Physical Health"
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
IDK about you guys, but there are times where i focus way too much on things I cannot control and start losing track of my mental and physical wellbeing. (mental and physical wellbeing is what the flair was supposed to be called but it was too many characters).
Either way, we all need to learn to balance our zen through all this madness going on today. A mentally and physically healthy soldier is a productive soldier. I myself am no master at this. I really hope we here start helping out each other to better each others non digital life. This [flair] is the least i can do.
When I taught, my best students weren't necessarily the smartest, but the ones that were mentally tough. Teaching math, I admired a student that would stick with the problem until they got the correct solution. I saw too many students that would give up on the really tough problems. Here's a good recommendation: Do a Sudoku or Crossword puzzle every day if you are not already doing this. Start with easy ones and build your ability to tougher ones. You will soon develop a mental toughness that will translate to other areas of your life.
Another option: learn a new language.
And stick with it!
Find one you like. Don't make your selection based on what looks easy or what everyone else is doing.
Consider learning Latin. There are people now learning it as a living language.
Check out the Polymathy channel on YT. Luke Ranieri is awesome.
I highly recommend Russian. I’m in my late forties and have found that it has reactivated my brain. Even helped me remember some Spanish from years ago.
I've been thinking about learning Russian! After all, I am a Russian bot!

All sorts of languages on there. I messed around with Italian a bit just to see if I liked the program. It was really fun and FREE
Our daughter learned a fair bit of Russian - self taught. She went to Greece and found that she could read signs there - Cyrillic FTW! :D
