Oh wow, haven't heard of that happening before! Good to keep in mind. I usually take my blanket off or push it to the side before I'm about to sleep as sometimes waking up under it can feel a bit unusual

I am not the biggest fan of micro blogging. There's too much noise in the feed, and writing is too restricted. However. Sharing updates related to an actual blog.. That's interesting! And I am starting today: Read my first blog in which I share the why and how of my website. mcvb.eu/blog/introdu...

Great idea, can relate! I tend to ramble and I enjoy the freedom of doing that in one long blog post rather than split between several social media posts. It's nice to establish our own corner of the internet. Good luck with your blog, I'm excited to read more!

My optimistic take on the future of the internet that eventually everyone will be sick of soulless AI content and will seek out blogs that are raw and personal, which is something no AI can replicate or replace 🤖 #blogging

Well, it's been a while since I last posted 😅 Life happens. I got really busy and overwhelmed, so I took time away from my blog. Part of me wishes I stuck with it, but I was getting incredibly burnt out, so it was probably the best decision. The good news is I'm back now and ready to start over! 📝

Interesting...when I was a kid, I used to empty the clothes out of my wardrobe and sleep under the lot of them; I found the weight comforting!

Yess, I did similar when I was younger! It's called deep pressure stimulation, where we apply firm, gentle pressure to take us out of fight or flight mode It's also why a pet on our lap or a tight hug can be so soothing 😊

Did you know? Weighted blankets can reduce stress, anxiety, and even chronic pain. Whenever I need to feel more grounded and calm, I crawl under my weighted blanket like a hibinating bear 🐻 Perhaps one will be your next self-care purchase! gettingtoknowourselves.net/the-benefits...

A great entry to the blog today, a fantastic read to get away from the commuting doom scroll on my way to work. Whilst I make videos which are focused around me talking a lot, I struggle with public speaking a lot. It's very different behind a screen with 100 cuts.

It's a topic that really reasonates with me as someone with social anxiety, and I've done a lot of research to find tips that are actually helpful rather than sticking to generic advice So, don't worry, I won't be telling you to imagine your audience in their underwear

My cat always seems to know when I'm getting tense. She'll sneak over and just flop herself on me 🐱 Pet cuddles are a great example of deep pressure stimulation, which can ease our anxiety and help us relax Read more about it in my latest blog: gettingtoknowourselves.net/what-is-deep...

Most of the time I have a pretty good idea why I'm anxious But sometimes I don't know what's making me feel that way. The 'there are enemies nearby' music is just louder some days.

Cool fact of the day The ancient Greeks referred people who inspired others as 'muses'... And the word 'museum' comes from the Greek 'mouseion, which was a sacred place dedicated to the muses 🖼️ #themoreyouknow

The past few years I've been really trying to improve myself. I wanted to be more productive, fulfilled, and motivated. I was sick of listening to surface-level 'advice' and I decided to take a deeper dive into our minds. That way I could find out what has been *proven* to help people like me.

The BEST thing I did this year was start a personal project (my blog). I love nurturing something and putting my all into it. It's *mine* and I don't have to worry about anyone else's input. Even if I get 0 views or success, it's still mine, and I can't put into words how special that is
