Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up. He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour. Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself. Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it. Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows. Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result. Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing. The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

I have done this several times with borax or baking soda and/or epsom salt and the water is much cloudier/ dirtier after 20 minutes of soaking your feet. Id do a full body soak if I had a bath tub This lady reported that she pulled this out of her foot after her first ever detox bath (ingredients and ratios are in the video, screenshot). Many also strongly suggest taking quercetin as this powerful antioxidant will push the unwanted organisms to the skin. 🦶Detoxing our bodies through different modalities has become incredibly important in the world we live in today I detox parasites each month and am always using our Super-binders to pull toxins from my body (heavy metals, micro-plastics, mold). I use senna tea 1-2x per week just before the full moon. I use parasite detox powder or tincture 2-3x per day and take binders if I start looking bloated from toxins being released. Best to take the binders 60 minutes after the parasite cleanse. Use binders 2-3x per day for 1-3 weeks leading up to the full moon parasite cleanse and it will be much easier for you.

You're about to pay $999/month on student loans for the next 25 years Stop There are people getting $50,000 to $120,000 in student loans completely wiped off their credit report and you're not even trying "But student loans can't be deleted" Yes they can. And it's easier than you think if your loans have been transferred, sold, or serviced by multiple companies Here's why: Your student loans have probably changed hands 3-5 times since you graduated. Sallie Mae became Navient. Navient sold to some servicer you've never heard of. That servicer got bought by another one Every time your loan transfers, data gets corrupted: Wrong balance amounts Wrong payment histories Wrong disbursement dates Wrong account numbers Payments made to old servicer not credited by new one Under the FCRA, every single data point on your credit report must be 100% accurate and verifiable. If any detail is wrong, you have grounds to dispute And after 3-5 transfers? Something is ALWAYS wrong The student loan credit deletion method: Step 1: Pull all 3 credit reports Compare how your student loans appear across Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion Different balance on Equifax vs Experian? Dispute Different payment history? Dispute Different account number? Dispute Different disbursement date? Dispute Any discrepancy between bureaus is proof of inaccurate reporting Step 2: Request your complete loan history from your servicer Call and ask for: original disbursement records, complete payment history from every servicer, chain of ownership documentation Compare what they send to what's on your credit report I've never seen them match perfectly. Not once. There's ALWAYS a discrepancy after multiple transfers Step 3: Dispute specific errors DO NOT say "this isn't my loan." That's fraud and it won't work for student loans Instead: "This account reports a balance of $47,200 but my servicer records show $44,100. This account shows 60 days late in March 2023 but my bank records show payment was made on time to the previous servicer during transfer" Dispute the DATA, not the existence of the loan Step 4: Target the weakest loans Private student loans have the WORST documentation. They've been sold 4-5 times with garbage record keeping Defaulted federal loans that went through rehabilitation also have messy records from the default-to-rehabilitation transition These are the accounts most likely to have verifiable errors that force deletion Step 5: The servicer transfer attack If your loans were transferred in the last 2 years, request documentation from BOTH the old and new servicer The old servicer usually purges records after transfer. The new servicer often has incomplete records they received Neither can fully verify. Both blame each other. You dispute and win Complete deletion is less common with student loans than medical debt. But getting late payments removed, balances corrected, and error-filled accounts deleted happens constantly One client had $67,000 in private student loans across 3 accounts. Two had wrong balances, one had fabricated late payments from a servicer transfer. All 3 deleted after disputes because neither the old nor new servicer could produce matching records Now i'll be real: student loans are HARDER to delete than medical debt or credit card collections. Federal loans especially have better record-keeping. Complete deletion happens but it's not the norm What IS common: getting wrong late payments removed, incorrect balances fixed, and duplicate accounts deleted. Even partial wins matter. Getting 2 late payments removed from a student loan can boost your score 40-60 points At 700+, you qualify for income-driven repayment plans with lower monthly payments AND $100K to $250K in 0% business funding. Your student loans don't have to block you from building wealth (i've deleted thousands of student loan entries off credit reports. link in bio if you're tired of paying $999/month on loans with wrong data)

Constipation alternating with loose stool isn't IBS. It's intestinal inflammation cycling. Transit slows when the gut is inflamed. Stool sits. More fermentation happens. More bacterial toxins build up. Inflammation increases further. Eventually the body can't tolerate it anymore and flushes. Loose stool for a day or two. Then back to slow. The system is unstable. It oscillates between the two because it's never addressing the inflammation driving both. Treating the constipation phase with fiber and the loose stool phase with binding agents is managing the oscillation. The inflammation underneath keeps running and the pattern keeps repeating.

Most females use feminism to justify their laziness

It takes about a week to detox my kids after an extended stay at my parents house. They get spoiled with screen time there and I stopped fighting it. But the behavior change when we come home is impossible to ignore. My son becomes whiny and anxious. My daughter throws way more tantrums. I am not anti-screens. We let them watch a couple of shows at home. But there is a clear line, and beyond it, screens stop being entertainment and start dysregulating their nervous systems.

Marriage is not sustained by emotions alone, but by commitment, humility, and obedience to God’s plan.

You don't need Adderall. You need to shift away from “task survival”. That simple switch helped me add 4 hours of extra work years ago without any stimulants. Let me explain🧵

yes, oral BPC-157 mogs for drastically improving gut health. but if your nuked gut came from truly terrible habits, you'll revert back to your old, fucked up gut within weeks after stopping a cycle. these are the top 5 things ruining your gut. a cycle of BPC and addressing these few things will have WAY more "permanent" results: - alcohol: directly strips the mucosal lining and kills beneficial bacteria with literally every drink - sip negronis sparingly if you have a nuked gut. - chronic NSAID use: ibuprofen and aspirin (sorry peaters) taken regularly destroy the protective gut barrier. - processed food: drive intestinal inflammation and disrupt the tight junctions that keep your gut lining intact. - chronic stress: cortisol directly increases gut permeability and shifts the microbiome toward pathogenic bacteria. - antibiotics without repair: a SINGLE course can wipe out years of microbiome diversity. and honorable mentions for supplements that actually move the needle on gut repair alongside BPC: - lactoferrin - sodium butyrate - s. boulardii - l. reuteri fix the habits to keep what you build.

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

I’ve always struggled with the idea that the only way to heaven was through Jesus. The classic axe murderer finds god but Good Samaritan is unsure. So when the church band started playing “Only by the Blood” I was rolling my eyes. To make matters worse, the lyrics go on to say there is no striving, or deserving. Like what? I’m not supposed to try hard now? What do you mean there is no deserving? But then the Pastor took over and it was like the entire sermon was written for me. The way he told it, was just perfect for me to understand. My parents never had to really punish me. If I did something that upset my father for example, he just had to tell me why. Knowing that I disappointed him was enough to break my heart. I knew how hard he worked to put a roof over my head. I knew how hard he worked to feed me and make sure I had positive activities and a great education. My Dad sacrificed for me. I would not be here if not for him. At all. Period. Forget about striving to deserve it, I didn’t deserve anything. I was given the gift of life. If I did something that hurt him, it hurt me. The Pastor explained that truly accepting God’s grace is realizing that we are all sinners. Nobody deserves anything. God sacrificed for us and gives us an opportunity that we did nothing to earn. When you cross the wrong line, you aren’t just breaking a rule, you are breaking God’s heart. In order to give you this free will, he had to accept that his heart would be broken. When you decide to take this personally, to aim not to break his heart. To help others stop breaking his heart. It’s not a feeling of guilt, or a feeling of pride. It’s a feeling of gratitude that you were given this chance. It’s a feeling of overwhelming opportunity and hope. You no longer pray for an outcome but from a place. Four weeks in a row now I’ve attended the same church. Twice now with my youngest daughter. Once with my oldest. I’ll get my middle to come with soon. I’m 45 years old and I spent my entire life skeptical of God. I am currently in the middle of being overwhelmed with how obvious it all is. I’ll use my otherwise unrelated platform share as much as I can as I experience and process this journey. Hope you join me. Do you ever feel like every detail of a day is hand crafted to make you realize something?

At some point, it’s on you.

Debrett’s has long set the standard for etiquette. This short guide to diplomacy lays out eight rules of behavior worth paying attention to. Which one stands out to you as the most practical?

Golden Tempo went from last to first. He passed 17 horses. His jockey prays everyday and quoted Philippians 4:13 after the race. Oh, and the horse has a cross on its’ face. God is in control.

The ideal marriage dynamic is "Autistic Handyman" and "Shy Tomboy." Yesterday, I attended a funeral for an elderly woman from my church. Her husband of 56 years is a really nice guy who is very obviously autistic because he has a museum-quality model train setup in a dedicated room the size of my garage. I learned that she was a shy tomboy who liked climbing trees when she was younger and got a kick out of jump-scaring people she knew. Upon reflection, it clicked to me that their marriage was virtually identical to several other long-lasting ones I know, including my own. The "Autistic Handyman" archetype is outgoing, direct, and socially oblivious. The "Shy Tomboy" is insular, reserved, and socially wary, but she is also more likely to be forward with expressing her romantic interest in the Autistic Handyman. The two archetypes complement each other's weaknesses while also remaining in a place of stability. He helps draw her out of her shell, and she helps guide his social awareness. Neither drags the other into situations that would be a breaking point.
