The best meditation apps, devices, and journals for staying calm and focused

sudshr47 February 6, 2019

If you feel like you’re seeing more people practicing yoga and meditation lately, you’re not wrongAccording to the CDC, from 2012 to 2017 yoga participation increased from 9.5 percent to 14.3 percent, and meditation increased from 4.1 percent to 14.2 percent.

Meditation practices have become more innovative as their popularity has grown. We’ve seen the boom of meditation apps, which prompt users to take a break from their daily lives to just breathe and focus.

So much in our lives is fast-paced. We live in an “always-on” culture that causes burnout. Meditation is meant to help us so we aren’t completely consumed by our stress and anxiety. Read more…

This colorful, $22 journal could be your secret to happiness

sudshr47 January 30, 2019

Have you ever met someone who’s just naturally happy, like, all the time? Mysterious creatures, those folks. Despite the universe’s best efforts to bring them down, they’re carefree and hopeful and all sparkly inside, always walking around with a pep in their step. They’re the Tiggers in a world of Eeyores, so to speak.

And sure, these people can come off as a bit naïve sometimes, but admit it: There’s always a part of you that’s thinking, “What are they doing that I’m not?”

Spoiler alert: Sometimes becoming happier is as simple as just *trying* to be happier — as in, dedicating a few minutes each day to practicing optimism and gratitude. Corso.com, the company that brought you the productivity-boosting Mindful Notebook, just made that real easy with its new happiness-themed notebook. Read more…

Gillette Masculinity Men Mental Health Toxic Masculinity

The masculinity revolution is a quiet one. Don’t trust its loudest critics.

sudshr47 January 26, 2019

Men are under attack. Everything that makes masculinity sacred — valor, honor, chivalry, leadership — is under siege.

What else could explain a recent commercial for a Gillette razor blade suggesting that men should spare each other from bullying and hold each other accountable for sexual harassment? How else should we interpret guidelines recently issued by the American Psychological Association to help therapists more effectively work with their male clients by better understanding the social pressure they face to be so-called real men?

Masculinity is having a moment. There’s a movement for a more expressive, more inclusive definition of manhood, but its critics see something more nefarious. If you listen to Piers Morgan or New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, skeptics of the Gillette ad and APA guidelines, you might mistake that movement as an assault waged by feminists and liberals when it’s really a quiet revolution staged in large part by men of diverse backgrounds who are tired of living by the very narrow, unforgiving standards of stereotypical masculinity.

Wearable sensor may help screen for anxiety and depression in kids

sudshr47 January 16, 2019

Welcome to Small Humans, an ongoing series at Mashable that looks at how to take care of – and deal with – the kids in your life. Because Dr. Spock is nice and all, but it’s 2019 and we have the entire internet to contend with.

When Ellen McGinnis started her career as a psychologist several years ago, she realized just how hard it can be to spot anxiety and depression in young children. Though they have complex inner lives and sometimes develop mental health disorders, preschoolers don’t always show the traditional symptoms you’d expect to see in older children or adults, nor do they always have the words to express their feelings.

Game of Thrones’ star Sophie Turner tweets a powerful thread about mental illness

sudshr47 January 10, 2019

Sophie Turner’s Twitter feed has plenty of Game of Thrones and X-Men retweets, plus a whole lot of A+ interaction with her co-star Maisie Williams.

But that’s not all there is.

One topic that crops up regularly on Turner’s timeline is mental health.

She’s tweeted about it in the past and, on Wednesday, she was quick to shut down Piers Morgan when he supported Beverley Callard’s comments about the risk of mental health issues becoming “fashionable”.

She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% truehttps://t.co/lxxywZ2Ks5
