As I said to someone else, some of tikkunolamresistance's misspellings make me think they're Russian, and I'm 99% sure they're a psyop.

Every totally real, human Jew who was raised on the Jewish values of ::checks notes:: “doing good,” knows that “tikkun olam” means “destroy the all-powerful secret Zionist cabal.”

Too bad your goverment is hiding under civilians

Satanyahu saying his next mission after taking palestine is going after Africa 🤡 and making a reference to how well he treats the Ethiopian Jews in Israel (he sterilizes them 🤡)

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Reblog please 🫶🍉

thanks for your support. There are 19 days left until the end of our campaign. These funds will be essential support for us when we reach Egypt, to start our lives again and so that I can return to my work. We are still in northern Gaza and will not be able to register to travel until we reach the goal of this campaign. Can we reach the goal before the period ends?

Egyptian officials tell a Qatari outlet that the US has accepted Israel’s plan for an operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, in return for not carrying out a large strike in Iran in response to Tehran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack. “The American administration showed acceptance of the plan previously presented by the occupation government regarding the military operation in Rafah, in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against Iran,” an unnamed official tells Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. The Egyptian officials tells the outlet that preparations are underway so that Egypt can deal with any possible impact of the planned operation.

#Israel is always so stupid when they call the attacked ‘unprecedented’ #actually it was the most precedented thing ever in human history that if you attack someone they will attack you back 🤡💀

Having a sunny day means it’s harder to concentrate on studying. I have submitted the first draft for my thesis, will do some proofreading before the deadline.

please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.

Day 4 of 100 Days of Productivity

I hate revising/revisiting a topic. I don't know about anyone else, but I constantly want to be learning something new. Going back to a topic feels so tedious. I'll try to get better at this skill.

#facts #learning new things is so much more fun #but revisiting is a necessary task

here's the reason you procrastinate

based on Fuschia Sirois' research

everyone procrastinate at some point. research suggests that almost 1 in 4 people procrastinate on a fairly regular basis, and the rates are even higher among college and university students ( 50% of them procrastinate regularly and about 85-90% do so occasionally ).

because procrastination is so common we tend not to put too much thought into it, in the end what is the problem? it's just delay.

well, it's not. actually procrastination is harmful delay ( so defined by the researchers ); it is a form of delay which is:

voluntary

unnecessary

involves important tasks which you intended to do

people often underestimate the consequences of procrastination and how debilitating and harmful it can be. if you delay dealing with ( for example ) your academic works, of course you can expect some negative results in that area, but what about the collateral consequences of it?

research has shown that people who have problems with procrastination have low physical and mental health and practice less healthy behaviors. they deal with depression, stress and anxiety.

just think about the enormous amount of stress that procrastination brings: first of all, constantly chasing deadlines. deadlines can nag anyone, even those who don't struggle with delaying, but then it ends, the job is turned in, and everything goes back to normal. for procastinators this is not the case, they will keep putting off important things and will constantly end up with an imminent deadline.

so, if it's so harmful for your health, why do people do it? some people think it's about laziness or poor time managment, but actually:

laziness isn't procrastination. if you're lazy you don't have the energy to do anything, instead procrastinators are always busy with a thousand non-essential tasks to do, in fact they avoid doing one specific task, not every task ( for example if i need to study, but i'm procrastinating it, i end up cleaning my room )

poor time managment it's actually a symptom of procrastination, not a cause.

from a psychological perspective the origins of procrastination are rooted in negative emotions and the urge to cope with them through avoidance. so actually procrastination is about poor mood managment, not poor time managment.

procrastination starts when we have a task that's unpleasant, but we have to do it. and we use procrastination then as a way to get relief from those negative emotions associated with the task, so basically it's not even about avoiding the task, but it's about avoid the negative emotions that we associate with the task.

we need to avoid stress and aversive feeling that come with the task, especially when we don't feel like we can manage those negative emotions at the moment. so we take the task, we put it aside, and it's instant relief. it's fast, it's easy and it works for a little while, then that sense of shame, guilt and self-blame starts to kick in.

so why do we keep procrastinating? for that sense of relief, because that made us feel rewarded and we tend to repeat behaviors that rewarded us. this can easily lead to a cycle of procrastination.

however, the negative thoughts that we have ( "why didn't i start earlier?", "i'm letting myself down" etc. ) don't actually make us take action. they just add layers of layers on pre-existing negativity.

so how do you get out of the procastination cycle?

go back to valuing your task, if it's so important that you do it, remind yourself why you are doing it

remember that we tend to overestimate the discomfort that a given challenge will bring us. probably your task isn't even that time-consuming, unpleasant and frustrating

be compassionate and and forgive yourself, it's an effective strategy to reduce the negative emotions associated with the task. you are not the first nor the last person to procrastinate, we are all human and we all make mistakes. research has shown that doing so reduces the risk of procastination.

hope you enjoyed this little explanation, here's my sources: https://youtu.be/xTEPNxx0MsA

#it’s true 10/10 I always overestimate the discomfort that a given task will bring #when I do it I go ‘actually this isn’t that bad’ every single time #maybe 99% of the time #🌱 #📝

There is bravery in finding out that what you wanted for the rest of your life has changed, letting go of it, and chasing your newfound purpose.

There is bravery in letting go of that person you love so much but doesn’t treat you with respect, knowing that love alone can’t save a relationship.

There is bravery is asking for help, be it to a friend, a therapist, a doctor.

There is bravery in trying to become a better person, to be kind even though others haven’t been good or kind to you.

There is bravery in admitting that you too were toxic in your past and striving not to make those same mistakes again.

You are being so brave.🌷🌱
