It's tempting. You may think you're being "nice." After a while, you're doing all the giving. Then, it's exhausting!Why does this dynamic happen? Why does it persist? What can you do to stop it? Listen in.In the beginning of a relationship with a narcissist, you may think you've found your perfect, ideal, longed for mater. Things shift. Things sour.

Sometimes it's one word that creeps into your vocabulary and can cause you to feel guilty, anxious, and worried. This particular word can cause you to experience frustration, and even stress. Often after using this one word you conclude you're a failure. What is that word you wonder? SHOULD. I should have done those dishes last night. I should have finished that report at work. I should be skinnier by now. I should be able to handle this crisis better. I shouldn't eat this second helping of pudding. Or we can flip it to the accusatory tone: You should be ashamed of yourself. You should go to the gym even though it's late. You should never say those things. You shouldn't be struggling with anger at your age. You should never leave your wallet lying around like that! In this Magnificent Monday Series on cognitive distortions, we will explore and explain: 1. What IS shoulding 2. What is it damaging to your brain, mood, and relationships 3. How to over come shoulding with 5 Practical TIPS you can start using today! BONUS MENTION: Motivational 64 oz.

Imagine a train passes by on screen and you don't hear the passing train at all or a tiger roars in a film but instead you hear a dog bark. These are not really good examples but I guess you now understand how important sound is, in film making, but unfortunately, in the real world, the attitude towards sound is the exact opposite. The value of sound in the Indian film industry is highly underrated. Sound design is the kind of skill in filmmaking, the presence of which is never given enough credit for, but the absence is sorely missed. In the second part of my conversation with professor Emeritus and sound recordist and designer Indrajit Neogi, we continue from where we left of and converse about the importance of sound in films and discuss his contribution in landmark art films like 36 Chowringhee Lane, Khamosh, Vijeta and Ardh Satya Hi, I am Atul Taishete and welcome to my show ‘Conversations with Atul'.

Recession Indicator triggered as business activity contracts, most since 2009 excluding the lockdown. In the US service sector in early July S&P Global Services PMI dropped to 47 from 52.7 in June. This reading came in much weaker than the market expectation of 52.6. Economic conditions show signs of weakening while CBs are tightening.
Today I explain the track and field dynamics of the Puma deal signed by Sha'Carri Richardson and how this compares to the $2 million dollar deal signed by Abby Steiner.

Congrats to Dylan Mobley, winner of a book and $100 free Cardano! Stay tuned for more giveaways in the future. Also: One of my books is free on Amazon this week!Last week, someone offered to pay me $500 to write a short Medium article about their new NFT startup.That's a lot of money for someone with a brand new baby at home.The company “sends” its “community” on a different digital “travel experience” each month.One month everyone will digitally attend Coachella or Burning Man, another time they'll go to the Superbowl or the NBA Finals.It's a really cool idea, until you think about it for like four seconds.I wrote back:“Dear [so and so]. Sorry to say I can't support your project. It's anti-human. If you've read much of Surviving Tomorrow, you know that I'm deeply pro-human. Biological. Offline. Together. [Your company] separates people. It keeps them from going on real adventures to real places to spend real offline time with real people.

It's the kingdom without the king, the cathedral without the cornerstone. It just won't work. Because even a shiny new metaverse will be filled with sinful human beings. In the end, it will be just more of the same.Sorry, MarkyZ.We are homo sapiens, not homo digitalis.We are proudly biological, offline, and physical. God created us this way.We were made to be together, in the flesh.Sure, God made us incredibly resilient, but we weren't made to sit sedentarily and stare at a small square of light all day.And we definitely weren't designed to strap a screen to our face and “live” inside an ad-filled world created by a sociopath.Christians don't need to resist the metaverse so much as they just need to focus on our work as culture-makers in the real world. Undoubtedly, a few tech-obsessed pastors will attempt to create VR churches, but these will almost certainly fail in time. People in VR are looking to be entertained, not discipled. It would be like trying to sell haircuts in a carwash. I'm not saying we can't and shouldn't use technology as a way to bridge into culture and evangelize, but there comes a point when these connections need to be pulled offline into the real world in order to truly become healthy relationships.Christian parents especially need to wake up and learn to parent and disciple their children. It's an unbelievable mistake to give anyone under eighteen a smartphone, and soon children will be pushing for a VR headset so they can “live” where all their friends do. Parents, guardians, and church leaders need to do a far better job at giving kids and teens places that help them feel they are home — with their faith family and in the presence of God. To be clear, we don't need to try and compete with the metaverse; Christianity isn't a “pitch,” and literally nothing competes with digital superstimuli except perhaps narcotics.We're not offering the world a buzz — we're living out the life that is truly life.And true life isn't the metaverse.Let's never forget that Facebook (and VR, and AR and the metaverse) were created not to improve human life and achieve widest-spread wellbeing.It was and will always be about shareholder profits.Leaked documents have proved conclusively that Mark Zuckerberg does not care about the wellbeing of our global family.Like all of us, Mark cares above all for himself.So please lift him up in your prayers. People say that power corrupts, but I disagree. Power magnifies what's already there. Mark Zuckerberg is just as broken and sinful as the rest of us, he's just in a bigger spotlight, and he's operating with more tools and weapons that impact billions of lives.As trust in Facebook Inc. continues to sink lower and lower, the Chief Exploitation Officer thinks he can rebrand as Meta Platforms Inc. and double down on a thesis that never worked in the first place.Facebook is built on the false promise that spending more time alone on screens will somehow deliver the communion we want, need, and crave.It hasn't, won't, can't, and never will.
