izziedizzie.: The Cornell Method →

izziedizzie:

Personally I think this not-so-new method of note-taking is amazing. I do remember things so much better. Thank you RVC for introducing this method to me. :3

The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes without laborious recopying. After writing the notes…

When people say these books are children’s books, as if to demean them, I balk. These books dealt with themes that adults do not fully understand or wish to. It dealt with racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, prejudice, and general ignorance. These books taught us that it doesn’t matter how you were raised, but that you get to choose to be kind, loyal, brave, and true. They taught us to be strong under the pressures of this world and to hold fast to what we know to be right. These books taught me so much, they changed me as a person. So just because they’re set against a fantastical backdrop with young protagonists does not mean that their value is any less real.

killoffalltheangels: i-l-l-u-m-i-n-e: Glitter jars - I was taught about glitter jars during my time as an inpatient. I learnt the magic of glitter during a self-soothe class as part of an emotional coping skills lesson. There’s no science, no counting, no acceptance and no forceful methods involved in the alteration of your emotions during use of the glitter jar - just distraction. Making a glitter jar is simple. You will need: 1 jar (with a lid of course!) 1/10 vegetable oil 9/10 water glitter - lots of! food colouring anything else shiny Add the water and vegetable oil together. Add a few drops of food colouring, all of the glitter and anything else shiny. Put the lid on (tight!) and shake it. When you want to cut / binge / scream / cry, shake the glitter jar and watch until the glitter is settled. It’ll calm you and hopefully the emotion will pass. That’s adorable :)
