WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO HOLD SPACE FOR SOMEONE | upliftconnect.com
A loving breakdown of what it means to to hold space for someone and not try to jump in and fix their pain…“4. Keep your own ego out of it. This is a big one. We all get caught in that trap now and then – when we begin to believe that someone else’s success is dependent on our intervention, or when we think that their failure reflects poorly on us, or when we’re convinced that whatever emotions they choose to unload on us are about us instead of them. It’s a trap I’ve occasionally found myself slipping into when I teach. I can become more concerned about my own success (Do the students like me? Do their marks reflect on my ability to teach? Etc.) than about the success of my students. But that doesn’t serve anyone – not even me. To truly support their growth, I need to keep my ego out of it and create the space where they have the opportunity to grow and learn.”
THE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO FIND HAPPINESS | theatlantic.com
Minimalism isn’t for everyone. In case you followed that Marie Konde book and did not find joy in getting rid of your things, this piece is for you…”Minimalism is hot, culturally, and for years, science has assured us that it was also the path to maximal bliss. The prevailing wisdom is that people who want the most happiness for their buck should buy experiences, not things. The idea is that the joy of an experience begins before it even starts, and continues when you look back on the fancy dinner/vacation/afternoon of LARPing fondly. Experiences provide, in other words, both more happiness and afterglow happiness. But a recent study complicates that picture, suggesting that sweaters and iPhones might make you just as happy, in a way, as cruises and concerts do. There is a third type of happiness—momentary happiness—and it tends to last longer with material goods because people use them for more time than they typically experience their experiences for.”

THEATRE ACCIDENTALLY SHOWS R-RATED ‘SAUSAGE PARTY’ PREVIEW AT ‘FINDING DORY SCREENING’ | latimes.com
No, this is not an article in The Onion. Accident? What do you think?…”A G-rated audience got an R-rated preview by mistake at a theater in Concord, Calif., this month when families expecting to watch a tale about finding a forgetful fish were first shown an animated potato being skinned alive while screaming obscenities. A theater full of parents and children at the Brenden Concord 14 took their seats to watch “Finding Dory” but were first shown a preview of R-rated “Sausage Party,” Seth Rogen’s CGI comedy that anthropomorphizes food on the dinner table. It’s likely some of the parents and children in attendance had difficult conversations about the food chain and whether or not spuds and hot dogs have feelings following the clip.”
