What if your client's tremor, stretch, or undulation wasn't a symptom—but a sign of healing? In this episode, Alex sits down with physical therapist, somatic educator and TRE Provider, Joel Begin to explore the natural, spontaneous movements that often arise in bodywork, movement therapy, and somatic healing—but are still largely misunderstood.Joel shares the story behind his 2022 paper, “Characterizing a Common Class of Spontaneous Movements,” a collaborative work that brings together perspectives from across the globe to map out how tremors, shakes, and fluid movements emerge across therapeutic, spiritual, and cultural contexts. From TRE® and myofascial unwinding to Qigong and authentic movement, Joel helps us reframe these expressions not as random or pathological—but as beneceptive and healing.Together, we explore the potential of spontaneous movement as a doorway into nervous system regulation, trauma resolution, and embodied intelligence. This episode invites you to see what might already be happening in your sessions with new eyes—and perhaps, to trust the body just a little more.Key Highlights: [00:02:00] The Paper That Sparked It All: Characterizing a Common Class of Spontaneous Movements[00:08:00] What Is Myofascial Unwinding?[00:14:30] Modalities That Evoke Spontaneous Movement[00:17:45] Spiritual Practices & Movement States[00:24:00] Case Study: Spontaneous Movement After Surgery[00:27:00] When Movement Feels Uncomfortable[00:33:00] TRE®, Trauma, and the Polyvagal Lens[00:38:45] Understanding Freeze Through Biotensegrity[00:41:00] What Makes These Movements Arise?[00:43:30] Creating a Container for CuriosityLinks & ResourcesJoel Begin's 2022 Paper: “Characterizing a Common Class of Spontaneous Movements” Read the full paper in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and BodyworkJoel Begin's Practice – Creative Pathways PTContinuum Movement: https://continuummovement.com/ Somatic Experiencing by Peter Levine: https://www.somaticexperiencing.com/about-peter Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Stephen Porges: https://www.stephenporges.com/ Myofascial Release John F.

Wives get to thinking about how life is too short.Based on the works of CoyoteHoward. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Jenny & The Barbeque GatheringIt was the picture of Americana in southwest Idaho.A partly cloudy sky, with more sun than shade. Deep green grass. Horses munching away in the pasture while the kids, whose ages ranged from 2-16, played on the trampoline and playset.The husbands primarily were under the porch overhang, gathered around the grill, while Osvaldo and his 8 year old son Elliot jokingly played corn-hole in the grass.Their wives were on the furniture on the other end of the porch, doing as women do, keeping an eye on the children for the most part and enjoying their own trials and tribulations. Most of which focused on family dramas, future plans and prices for various groceries."Yeah, so what I'd like to do," Brady said, beginning to flip the burgers from the top left, "is kinda what you did, but I'd like to do 4 rails instead."Steve nodded and took a drink of beer from his Payette Brewing Co. bottle. He absentmindedly watched Brady do so, his left thumb tucked into the front pocket of his jeans, shifting his cowboy booted feet to equal distribution instead of one leg being cocked slightly. His slight belly showed his 36 years of age, and while he didn't like it, and wished he could find the consistent motivation to work out, his wife didn't mind, and his shirts still fit, including the plain white t-shirt he wore now."Yeah I don't mind the three, but the three inch- I wish I'd of been able to afford the three and a half," Steve said, shifting the bottle to his left and adjusting his multicam hat on his head, though it needn't be done. His brown, fade cut hair wasn't bothering him, it was more just a habit."You did your fence yourself?" Jeff asked. He was blond, worked out tons and was wearing a polo, cargo shorts and flip flops.Steve nodded, "Yeah the little mustang got out suddenly last year, little shit."The women meanwhile were discussing flowers."I'm so jealous of your little play area Jenny," Hannah said, taking a sip of her soda.She was married to Brady, and three of the tikes running around were hers. She was 36, was 5'7" and 133 pounds. She knew she was attractive, as all the women here were, but her husband appreciated her the most, and that's exactly the way she prefered it.They'd been married for well over 10 years, he was the father of all her babies, and they led a great life."Well it's been a lot of work, but yeah, it's coming together," Jenny said. "We've done a ton of work just to try and keep the weeds away." Her husband was Steve, and as she finished her sentence she looked over at her man.They'd been together the longest of the group of six couples, having been dating since junior year of high school, over 18 years prior. They had the second oldest child there, at 15, and the second youngest as well, a three year old girl.They'd been the ones to leave though, he going into the Army right after high school and finally leaving six years prior, and they'd all reconnected.Steve was still her king though, and she his queen, as they routinely told each other. Even now, as Heather, a half-asian, half-hispanic woman asked her about the newest berry they'd planted Jenny couldn't help but think about what her king had done to her last night, and her panties got warm under her flowery, blue, spaghetti-strapped sundress.Steve noticed her looking at him, and flashed her a smile, giving his queen a fun wink.And that's why she couldn't help but love him. He just did those little kinds of things that other men didn't with their wives. Sure he had a temper, he played video games, his memory was horrible.But his positives more than made up for it."I'd like to plant blackberries, especially if they have uh, no thorns," Amanda winked, and took a bite of potato salad. She was a short, slightly heavy black haired woman married to Osvaldo.She looked over and saw her son and husband playing cornhole still, though Jeff and Joe had gone over to play with them. They were married to Heather and Ellen, respectively, to Amanda's left."Yeah me too," Hannah said, to which the others laughed slightly."Bullshit," Kelly said, deciphering the code words; "You have too much going on already. Brady would strangle you!""Oh he'd be a little upset, but he always cools off," Hannah said, chuckling.But Jenny couldn't get the thought out of her mind now. The thought of how Steve had taken extra care to put the baby to bed, to not play Mass Effect, and to take her to bed.He'd sweetly pulled her jeans off, then nuzzled and licked at her cunt through her panties until she'd cum, THEN he had proceeded to have his way with her, bringing her off several more times before finishing off inside her.She imagined she could still feel his cum, making her wetter still.She suddenly looked at the whole situation. At everyone around her and the thought of them getting old, tired, and ending..."Hannah, watch Claire for me. I'm gonna go get fucked silly in your powder room," she said, locking eyes with her friend and rising with a slight smirk.Hannah's eyes went wide as she choked slightly and let out a huge smile."What?!" she exclaimed, but Jenny was already striding across the patio to her man."Did she just-""What did she say?""Whoa!""Hahaha! Oh shit she's really doing it!"Jenny had reached Steve, grabbed him by the belt buckle with one hand and had begun leading him away, walking forward as if leading a stud to a mare."Hey babe, whoa, what's up?" he asked.She turned and smirked a small smile at him, and she knew it achieved the desired affect. Her intentions must have been written all over her face, because he couldn't help but put his beer down and follow, his own smile bursting forth.She lead him through the door and didn't give him time to properly shut it, but he was able to with a strong hand."Jen, what are you doing?" Steve asked, grabbing her wrist. She was closer to her target though."I need you," she said, suddenly breathless as she kissed him deeply, her sexy body pressing up against his.She made sure to press her bra'ed 34C breasts into his chest, her left hand around his back, her right up in his short hair.Steve's hands went around her pinched waist first, then his left up her side and back while his right went around and down to her plump ass, cupping and kneading.She moaned at the touches, then broke the french kiss and backed away towards the half-bath by the front door.Steve followed eagerly and suddenly they were in the little bathroom, finding the light and locking the door behind them."Hun, what's gotten int-ohh shit!" Steve started, but she hushed him by immediately dropping to her knees, and getting his jeans undone."Damn girl, the fuck has gotten into you suddenly?" he asked, as she got the front of his pants open, not pausing and pulled down his underwear too. But his hands went to her head, lightly rubbing the sides and back encouragingly."Can't I just want my husband?" she asked before throating his semi-hard, 6 inch cock in one go."Ah fuck," he said, his biology taking over for a moment as he thrust his hips an inch forward, his hands tightening on her head.Her tongue was going crazy on the underside of his shaft, the tip even coming past her bottom lip slightly to lick his balls as much as she could, and he got rigid hard in moments.He gasped and breathed as if he were in pain, but she knew he wasn't. Jenny didn't give him head very often, so this must be a real treat for him. Though truth be told, this was a means to an end. She bobbed her face on his crotch for a dozen or so pumps, until she felt his cockhead nudge the back of her throat. That end was now.She rose, looked him in the eye as her right hand grasped his hard prick, some of her hair in her eye as she did so, stroking it in short strokes as she turned to the vanity and mirror.God she looked slutty. One of her spaghetti straps had fallen off her shoulder and her lips were an excited red from having just been stretched in an obscene 'O' around his magnificent cock.But she could still FEEL her sex drive though, his taste still in her mouth. Her boobs were hypersensitive in their confines, feeling wonderfully constrained as she breathed, and her panties were probably soaked through.She pulled up the hem of her dress and bent over the counter, looking back at him over her right shoulder."God, just fuck me. Fuck me!" she said, "I need it."Steve couldn't refuse this personification of pure lust in front of him. She wasn't his wife in this moment. She was a bitch in heat. A mare in season. And he was going to give her the beast she needed.He grabbed her brief-cut panties with both hands and yanked them down with animalistic urgency to her feet, where she stepped out with one sandaled foot.He then rose and put his right hand to her cunt, immediately confirming how wanton she was by the heat and wetness he found there, easily one of the wettest times he'd ever seen her."Oh fuck," she said, finding her own lustful gaze looking back at her in the vanity mirror, feeling his fingers run through her sex from her clit(which he brushed ever so slightly) right up to her asshole. She knew he must've thought about playing with it, as she'd let him take her ass several times in the past year, finally.But he didn't linger, instead he stepped right up to her bent over body and slid his steel hard cock into her cunt, all in one go."Oh! Oh fuck! Oh god that feels soo good!" she practically screamed, but huskily.His hands went to her wide hips, finding her pelvic bones that made the perfect obscene handles, beginning to piston her cunt, slowly.But she wanted more, she wanted to be fucked, and fucked well.She looked over her shoulder at him, "Steve, god damnit, Fuck me!" With each stressed word she pushed herself back on his cock, sparks flying from her sopping cunt through her body as she did so as his rod plowed her depths.Out at the patio, the ladies' conversation suddenly halted when the screams and moans were faintly heard coming from the little vent, high on the side of the house. It piped the narrative from the powder room, just on the other side of the brick exterior. First Claire took notice, then all the ladies went silent, their devilish grins showing their vicarious delight. A couple of the guys noticed the silence over at the other end of the covered patio, then all the guys heard the faint echo of a raging hormonal woman's voice could just barely be heard yelling; “Steve, God damnit. Fuck me!”Jenny was rewarded with her stud pulling her hips back so that she'd fall backwards if he wasn't there, cock lodged inside her. Her hands were wrapped tightly around the spout of the faucet, now somewhat in front of her as her hair swung with his thrusts. Her tits were swaying as much as her bra would allow, and the pulling on her chest added to her sexual experience. The thumb of her left hand subconsciously rubbed the underside of the chrome spout, but in her entranced state, she imagined it was Steve's turgid cock.In moments he was fucking her hard. Fast. Making her ass jiggle with every impact of his pelvis. She felt his cock running though her with abandon, the heat from her cunt quickly turning into a fire, then a blaze, until stars burst in her vision and she screamed a carnal, drawn out "ah" in orgasm, her legs shaking uncontrollably. “Steve, you beast!” she screamed in satisfaction.Her hands slipped as they clenched and gripped the sink, Steve stepping up as her hips were pushed forward against the edge of the counter.Whereas moments before she'd cum from her assertive pushing back, now she was trapped with nowhere to go. More precisely, her hole couldn't get away from the prick fucking it.Jenny realized that she'd be forced to cum at least again, maybe more even. Her king had slowed as he'd trapped her, bringing his hands up to her shoulders and finding new grips with which to pound her.She looked up and saw her sweaty self in the mirror again, her jaw dropped open as she breathed heavy with sexual arousal, her whole body jarring with each impact of Steve's hips against her ass.God she was so sexy, and her cunt was doing such a good job of clenching around the invader, her body doing as it was designed to do, trying to bring the penis inside it to orgasm. Her hole wanted his semen. That was its purpose, to get fucked and filled by cum, so she could carry his child.And it was working, her own voice raising with every fourth or fifth quickening thrust as she felt her second orgasm building in her depths, Steve's cock hitting amazing pockets of nerves inside her.It suddenly was upon her as her left hand pressed against the mirror, her right coming around to grab Steve's hip as her cunt exploded in pleasure, her eyes wide. She rocked herself back as he tried to pull out for another thrust, trying to keep him inside her as she came, throwing her head in an out of control nodding motion and half panting, half exclaiming "ahs.”Steve for his part wasn't faring well on holding out. He regularly told Jenny that her orgasms would collect massive amounts of cash on the internet, and they usually brought him off. But Jenny had never been this needy before, and though she did have bouts of increased sexual activity, this was a whole new level.As she came again for the second time, the thrashing of her head, her hair flying and her hand on the mirror, almost got him.It was her hand landing on his right side, hip and ass cheek coupled with her rocking cunt clenching on his shaft that got him. He slammed forward to the hilt as his cum rose from his balls, rocketing down his weapon until it fired into her hot sheathe.Again and again it fired, "Oh yeah! Uh! Uh! Uh! Take it baby!" he said through blurred vision and clenched teeth.Out on the patio, the ladies were squirming; embarrassed, but getting aroused. Claire was frustrated when she had to go comfort a child who tripped and fell in the play area; “Tell me what I'm missing, Kelly.”

Jenny didn't give him head very often, so this must be a real treat for him. Though truth be told, this was a means to an end. She bobbed her face on his crotch for a dozen or so pumps, until she felt his cockhead nudge the back of her throat. That end was now.She rose, looked him in the eye as her right hand grasped his hard prick, some of her hair in her eye as she did so, stroking it in short strokes as she turned to the vanity and mirror.God she looked slutty. One of her spaghetti straps had fallen off her shoulder and her lips were an excited red from having just been stretched in an obscene 'O' around his magnificent cock.But she could still FEEL her sex drive though, his taste still in her mouth. Her boobs were hypersensitive in their confines, feeling wonderfully constrained as she breathed, and her panties were probably soaked through.She pulled up the hem of her dress and bent over the counter, looking back at him over her right shoulder."God, just fuck me. Fuck me!" she said, "I need it."Steve couldn't refuse this personification of pure lust in front of him. She wasn't his wife in this moment. She was a bitch in heat. A mare in season. And he was going to give her the beast she needed.He grabbed her brief-cut panties with both hands and yanked them down with animalistic urgency to her feet, where she stepped out with one sandaled foot.He then rose and put his right hand to her cunt, immediately confirming how wanton she was by the heat and wetness he found there, easily one of the wettest times he'd ever seen her."Oh fuck," she said, finding her own lustful gaze looking back at her in the vanity mirror, feeling his fingers run through her sex from her clit(which he brushed ever so slightly) right up to her asshole. She knew he must've thought about playing with it, as she'd let him take her ass several times in the past year, finally.But he didn't linger, instead he stepped right up to her bent over body and slid his steel hard cock into her cunt, all in one go."Oh! Oh fuck! Oh god that feels soo good!" she practically screamed, but huskily.His hands went to her wide hips, finding her pelvic bones that made the perfect obscene handles, beginning to piston her cunt, slowly.But she wanted more, she wanted to be fucked, and fucked well.She looked over her shoulder at him, "Steve, god damnit, Fuck me!" With each stressed word she pushed herself back on his cock, sparks flying from her sopping cunt through her body as she did so as his rod plowed her depths.Out at the patio, the ladies' conversation suddenly halted when the screams and moans were faintly heard coming from the little vent, high on the side of the house. It piped the narrative from the powder room, just on the other side of the brick exterior. First Claire took notice, then all the ladies went silent, their devilish grins showing their vicarious delight. A couple of the guys noticed the silence over at the other end of the covered patio, then all the guys heard the faint echo of a raging hormonal woman's voice could just barely be heard yelling; “Steve, God damnit. Fuck me!”Jenny was rewarded with her stud pulling her hips back so that she'd fall backwards if he wasn't there, cock lodged inside her. Her hands were wrapped tightly around the spout of the faucet, now somewhat in front of her as her hair swung with his thrusts. Her tits were swaying as much as her bra would allow, and the pulling on her chest added to her sexual experience. The thumb of her left hand subconsciously rubbed the underside of the chrome spout, but in her entranced state, she imagined it was Steve's turgid cock.In moments he was fucking her hard. Fast. Making her ass jiggle with every impact of his pelvis. She felt his cock running though her with abandon, the heat from her cunt quickly turning into a fire, then a blaze, until stars burst in her vision and she screamed a carnal, drawn out "ah" in orgasm, her legs shaking uncontrollably. “Steve, you beast!” she screamed in satisfaction.Her hands slipped as they clenched and gripped the sink, Steve stepping up as her hips were pushed forward against the edge of the counter.Whereas moments before she'd cum from her assertive pushing back, now she was trapped with nowhere to go. More precisely, her hole couldn't get away from the prick fucking it.Jenny realized that she'd be forced to cum at least again, maybe more even. Her king had slowed as he'd trapped her, bringing his hands up to her shoulders and finding new grips with which to pound her.She looked up and saw her sweaty self in the mirror again, her jaw dropped open as she breathed heavy with sexual arousal, her whole body jarring with each impact of Steve's hips against her ass.God she was so sexy, and her cunt was doing such a good job of clenching around the invader, her body doing as it was designed to do, trying to bring the penis inside it to orgasm. Her hole wanted his semen. That was its purpose, to get fucked and filled by cum, so she could carry his child.And it was working, her own voice raising with every fourth or fifth quickening thrust as she felt her second orgasm building in her depths, Steve's cock hitting amazing pockets of nerves inside her.It suddenly was upon her as her left hand pressed against the mirror, her right coming around to grab Steve's hip as her cunt exploded in pleasure, her eyes wide. She rocked herself back as he tried to pull out for another thrust, trying to keep him inside her as she came, throwing her head in an out of control nodding motion and half panting, half exclaiming "ahs.”Steve for his part wasn't faring well on holding out. He regularly told Jenny that her orgasms would collect massive amounts of cash on the internet, and they usually brought him off. But Jenny had never been this needy before, and though she did have bouts of increased sexual activity, this was a whole new level.As she came again for the second time, the thrashing of her head, her hair flying and her hand on the mirror, almost got him.It was her hand landing on his right side, hip and ass cheek coupled with her rocking cunt clenching on his shaft that got him. He slammed forward to the hilt as his cum rose from his balls, rocketing down his weapon until it fired into her hot sheathe.Again and again it fired, "Oh yeah! Uh! Uh! Uh! Take it baby!" he said through blurred vision and clenched teeth.Out on the patio, the ladies were squirming; embarrassed, but getting aroused. Claire was frustrated when she had to go comfort a child who tripped and fell in the play area; “Tell me what I'm missing, Kelly.”

Cardiology Trials
Review of the ICTUS trial

Cardiology Trials

N Engl J Med 2005;353:1095-1104Background: Prior trials on revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation have yielded mixed results. While FRISC II and TACTICS-TIMI 18 demonstrated a significant reduction in myocardial infarction, this benefit was not observed in RITA 3. None of these trials showed a significant reduction in mortality. Further research is needed to guide treatment strategies in this population, particularly after the introduction of early use of clopidogrel and intensive lipid-lowering therapy.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Invasive versus Conservative Treatment in Unstable Coronary Syndromes (ICTUS) trial sough to test the hypothesis that an early invasive strategy is superior to selective invasive strategy for patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Patients: Eligible patients had to have all of the following: Worsening symptoms of ischemia or symptoms at rest with the last episode being 24 hours before randomization, elevated cardiac troponin T level (≥0.03 μg per liter); and either ischemic EKG changes (defined as ST-segment depression or transient ST-segment elevation exceeding 0.05 mV, or T-wave inversion of ≥0.2 mV in two contiguous leads) or a documented history of coronary artery disease.Patients were excluded if they were older than 80 years, had an indication for primary percutaneous coronary intervention or fibrinolytic therapy, hemodynamic instability or overt congestive heart failure, oral anticoagulant drugs use in the past 7 days, fibrinolytic treatment within the past 96 hours, percutaneous coronary intervention within the past 14 days, elevated bleeding risk, plus others.Baseline characteristics: The trial randomized 1,200 patients from 42 Dutch hospitals – 604 randomized to early invasive strategy and 596 randomized to selective invasive strategy.The average age of patients was 62 years and 74% were men. Approximately 39% had hypertension, 14% had diabetes, 35% had hyperlipidemia, 23% had prior myocardial infarction and 41% were current smokers.Approximately 48% of the patients had ST deviation equal to or greater than 0.1 mV.Procedures: Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to undergo early invasive vs selective invasive strategy.Patients received 300 mg of aspirin at the time of randomization, followed by at least 75 mg daily indefinitely, and enoxaparin (1 mg/kg for a maximum of 80 mg) subcutaneously twice daily for at least 48 hours. The early use of clopidogrel (300 mg immediately, followed by 75 mg daily) in addition to aspirin was recommended to the investigators after the drug was approved for acute coronary syndrome in 2002. Intensive lipid-lowering therapy, preferably atorvastatin 80 mg daily or the equivalent was recommended as soon as possible after randomization. All interventional procedures during the index admission were performed with the use of abciximab.Patients assigned to the early invasive strategy were scheduled to undergo angiography within 24 - 48 hours after randomization. Patients assigned to the selective invasive strategy underwent coronary angiography if they had refractory angina despite optimal medical therapy, hemodynamic or rhythm instability, or significant ischemia on pre-discharge exercise test.In both groups, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed when appropriate, without providing more details in the manuscript.The level of creatine kinase MB was measured at 6-hour intervals during the first day, after each new clinical episode of ischemia, and after each percutaneous revascularization procedure.Endpoints: The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or rehospitalization for angina at 1-year.The estimated sample size to provide 80% power to detect 25% relative risk difference between the two treatment groups at 5% alpha was 1,200 patients. This assumed that 21% of the patients in the early invasive arm would experience the primary outcome.Results: During the index admission, 98% of the patients in the early invasive strategy arm underwent coronary angiogram compared to 53% in the selective invasive arm. At 1-year, 79% of the patients in the early invasive strategy arm underwent revascularization compared to 54% in the selective invasive arm.The primary outcome was not significantly different between both treatment groups (22.7% with early invasive vs 21.2% with selective invasive, RR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.87 - 1.33; p= 0.33). All-cause death was the same in both groups (2.5%). Myocardial infarction was significantly higher with the early invasive strategy (15.0% vs. 10.0%, RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.10 – 2.04; p= 0.005), while rehospitalization for angina was lower with early invasive (7.4% vs. 10.9%, RR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.47 – 0.98; p= 0.04). Most myocardial infarctions were revascularization related and these were significantly more frequent with early invasive (11.3% vs 5.4%). Spontaneous myocardial infarctions were 3.7% with early invasive and 4.6% with selective invasive and this was not statistically significant.Major bleeding, not related CABG, during the index admission was more frequent with the early invasive strategy (3.1% vs 1.7%).There were no significant subgroup interactions for the primary outcome, including based on ST deviation and troponin levels.Conclusion: In patients with NSTEMI, an early invasive strategy was not superior to selective invasive strategy in reducing the composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or rehospitalization for angina at 1-year. An early invasive strategy was associated with more myocardial infarctions with a number needed to harm of 20 patients, which was secondary to revascularization related myocardial infarction. An early invasive strategy reduced rehospitalization for angina with a number needed to treat of approximately 29 patients.The ICTUS trial showed that revascularization can cause harm and highlighted how counting procedural myocardial infarctions can influence outcome estimates. While there is ongoing debate about the significance of periprocedural myocardial infarctions, evidence indicates an association with increased mortality. Whether periprocedural myocardial infarctions are 'less severe' than spontaneous myocardial infarctions remains controversial, as their impact varies based on infarct size and patient characteristics. This underscores the importance of including all-cause mortality or advanced systolic heart failure as endpoints in trials of revascularization.Patients in ICTUS received better background medical therapy compared to prior trials in this area. While this could be responsible for the divergent results compared to other prior trials. It also highlights the heterogeneity of NSTEMI patients and that an invasive strategy is not appropriate for all.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Discovering your travel personality might be the key to your most enjoyable adventures yet. Do you meticulously plan every detail with color-coded spreadsheets, or do you prefer throwing caution to the wind and seeing where the journey takes you? The truth is, neither approach is inherently better—they simply reflect different personality types and comfort levels.Planned travel offers undeniable advantages: guaranteed access to popular attractions (like my recently secured Blue Lagoon reservation in Iceland that was nearly sold out weeks in advance), better pricing on accommodations, and that comforting sense of security that comes from knowing exactly where you'll be each day. It's particularly valuable for those new to solo travel or visiting highly touristed destinations during peak season. Yet this approach can transform your vacation into a rushed checklist exercise, leaving little room for those magical unplanned moments that often become our most cherished travel memories.Spontaneous travelers enjoy the freedom to extend stays in places they love, change direction on a whim, and discover hidden gems not found in guidebooks. This approach creates space for authentic local experiences and serendipitous encounters. However, as I recently discovered when I missed out on a recommended guesthouse in Iceland, this freedom comes at a price—potentially missing must-see attractions that require advance booking or facing limited accommodation options at premium prices. The sweet spot for most experienced travelers lies somewhere in between—perhaps securing flights, accommodations, and must-see attractions while deliberately leaving space for wandering and discovery. Your ideal approach should match your personality while considering your destination, travel experience, and the time of year you're visiting.What's your travel planning style? Has it evolved as you've gained more travel experience?

alt skulle køre efter planen.En: He was a man of routines; everything had to run according to plan.Da: Men dybt indeni, længtes han efter et lille eventyr.En: But deep inside, he longed for a little adventure.Da: Lars havde inviteret hele familien, og nu var huset fyldt med snak og latter.En: Lars had invited the entire family, and now the house was filled with chatter and laughter.Da: Mette hjalp med borddækningen i spisestuen, og hun kastede et smil til Lars, der forsøgte at tage sig af alle detaljer.En: Mette helped with setting the table in the dining room, and she cast a smile at Lars, who was trying to take care of all the details.Da: "Rolig, det skal nok gå," sagde hun beroligende.En: "Relax, it will be fine," she said soothingly.Da: Men Lars rømmede sig kun og justerede påskeharen midt på bordet.En: But Lars only cleared his throat and adjusted the Easter bunny in the middle of the table.Da: Han elskede hvert minut af værtsrollen, men frygtede altid det uforudsigelige.En: He loved every minute of hosting but always feared the unpredictable.Da: Børnene hvirvlede gennem gangene som små travle myrer, og deres latter genlød som en symfonisk baggrund.En: The children swirled through the hallways like small busy ants, and their laughter echoed like a symphonic background.Da: Med et tungt åndedrag tog Lars mod til sig og gik ind for at byde velkommen til sine gæster.En: With a heavy breath, Lars gathered his courage and went in to welcome his guests.Da: Men et øjebliks afslapning førte til, at yngre gæster utilsigtet byttede madens placeringer.En: But a moment of relaxation led to younger guests inadvertently swapping the food's placements.Da: "Lars, hvor er silden?"En: "Lars, where is the herring?"Da: spurgte en af tanterne højt med en skefuld karrysild.En: asked one of the aunts loudly with a spoonful of curry herring.Da: Inden Lars nåede at rette op på fejlen, brød Soren ind med en strålende idé.En: Before Lars could correct the mistake, Soren interrupted with a brilliant idea.Da: "Hvorfor ikke en skattejagt i haven?"En: "Why not a treasure hunt in the garden?"Da: råbte han, med børnene jublende bag sig.En: he shouted, with the children cheering behind him.Da: Før Lars kunne svare, styrtede børnene ud mod haven.En: Before Lars could respond, the children rushed out towards the garden.Da: Lars stod tilbage i døråbningen, draget mellem sin lyst til kontrol og den tiltrækkende mulighed for spontan glæde.En: Lars stood in the doorway, torn between his desire for control and the enticing possibility of spontaneous joy.Da: En blid vind blafrede gennem træerne udenfor, og Lars lod sig rive med af den falmende følelse af kontrol.En: A gentle wind fluttered through the trees outside, and Lars let himself be carried away by the fading feeling of control.Da: "Kom Mette!En: "Come, Mette!Da: Skal vi ikke være med?"En: Shouldn't we join?"Da: råbte han med et grin til sin kone, som allerede tog en kurv op.En: he called with a grin to his wife, who was already picking up a basket.Da: Mens det pludselige påskeskattejagt-initiativ bragte liv og latter til haven, mærkede Lars en ny form for tilfredshed i sit bryst.En: While the sudden Easter treasure hunt initiative brought life and laughter to the garden, Lars felt a new kind of satisfaction in his chest.Da: Han kunne mærke, hvordan øjeblikke som disse gav mening til alt hans omhyggelige arbejde.En: He could feel how moments like these gave meaning to all his meticulous work.Da: For første gang slap han sin plan, forstod, at livets uperfekte øjeblikke var de mest mindeværdige.En: For the first time, he let go of his plan, understood that life's imperfect moments were the most memorable.Da: Så under den klare forårssol, i en have fyldt med glæde, fandt Lars frihed i det spontane.En: So under the clear spring sun, in a garden filled with joy, Lars found freedom in the spontaneous.Da: Han lo sammen med sin familie, undersøgende med dem efter gemte skatte, og opdagede derved skatten af livets små, uventede overraskelser.En: He laughed together with his family, exploring with them for hidden treasures, and in doing so discovered the treasure of life's small, unexpected surprises.

From Fatboy Slim's DJ set a fish and chip shop, to Robbie Williams at Fed Square, Melbourne has been treated to some very exciting pop up style gigs — but just how spontaneous are these performances and what's in it for the artist? Also a new filter trending on TikTok called the 'chubby filter' has been criticised for perpetuating fatphobia and body shaming — so just how damaging can trends like this be.
