One of my favorite things I've read recently is about a woman who said whenever a negative thought about herself popped up, she would shout "GUARDS!" and imagine knights entering and carrying the thought away.

Older women with a little body fat, not a lot but some, look more robust than the thin ones.

After menopause, your ovaries stop making estrogen. Your body switches over to using your fat cells. Aromatase in your fat converts leftover adrenal androgens into estrogen. So the less body fat you have, the less estrogen you can make. And low estrogen after menopause is what drives most of the aging you don't want, whether that's faster bone loss, thinner skin, or cognitive decline.

Your face also loses volume when the fat pads under the skin shrink. That's why very lean older women often look gaunt. And if you fall, less padding over your hips means a higher chance of breaking one.

The obsession with staying stick-thin into your 60s and 70s ages you faster.

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

Ask yourself: What quietly script your suffering?

• Ego
• Assumption
• Projection
• Narrative

They turn neutral events into personal attacks.

You relive them for years.

Over boats that were empty from the start.

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

Your nervous system hates uncertainty.

So it fills gaps with stories.
Usually negative ones.

Because survival once depended on assuming danger.

A rustle in the grass wasn’t “maybe.”
It was “tiger.”

We still run that software.

Fr. Ripperger: “Demons can manipulate our emotions. This is why in the entire history of Catholic spiritual theology, every single Saint has warned against following our emotions in our spiritual life. Because God's not the only one who broadcasts on that channel.”

The Cherubim and Seraphim, as described by Ezekiel and Isaiah in Scripture.

Truly glorious. 😊✨

[Your Best Version @YourPrimePath]

One of the easiest ways to improve your confidence and mood is to simply look up more often. When your head is down for most of the day your jugular veins actually compress, restricting blood flow and triggering dizziness, fatigue and anxiety. Your posture is directly connected to how you feel. Looking down signals defeat to your own nervous system. Look up, extend your neck, keep your chin parallel to the ground and notice the shift in how you feel almost immediately. Your body responds to how you carry it. Give it the posture of someone who is not defeated.

🇺🇸 BREAKING: The largest fireworks show in the history of the WORLD has just kicked off in Washington, DC

Trump PROMISED to make it happen, and he MADE IT HAPPEN! 🔥

[Deep Psychology @DeepPsycho_HQ]

A psychiatrist at John Hopkins studied people who claimed to speak with God.

what he found in their brain scans left even seasoned scientists in quite disbelief:

> His name was Dr. Andrew Newberg.
A scientist. Not religious.
He had one question what happens inside the brain during prayer?

He expected nothing unusual.
Just neurons firing. Thoughts forming.
Nothing more.

He was wrong.

During deep prayer, the brain did something unexpected.
The part responsible for self-awareness went quiet.
Like a switch turned off.

> And when that happens the boundary between you and everything else disappears.
You no longer feel separate.
Not from people.
Not from the world.
Not from something greater.

He called it “absolute unitary being.”
Not just a feeling a measurable state in the brain.

But that wasn’t the most shocking part.

The brains of people who prayed regularly
looked physically different.
Stronger connections.
Lower stress.
Healthier patterns.

Even the brain’s fear center the amygdala became less active.

Ancient traditions always knew this.

Here’s the simple truth:
When you pray, your brain stops treating you as alone.
It starts treating you as connected.
Supported. Part of something vast.

He spent 30 years trying to prove it was all in the mind.
Instead, he found it was changing the mind all along.

Maybe it was never empty after all.

To find a hidden tumour, they inject you with radioactive sugar and photograph where it goes.

It works, reliably, because the cancer drinks that glucose so greedily it flares up on the scan like a bonfire while the healthy tissue around it sits dark. The entire technology rests on one fact nobody says out loud in the room: the tumour runs on sugar, and it will outbid the rest of your body for every last gram of it.

We have known about this appetite for the better part of a century. We built a vast imaging industry on the back of it. We use it today, in every major hospital, to hunt the disease down.

Then, having located the cancer by following the sugar, they bring round the lunch trolley. White toast. Tinned fruit in syrup. A carton of juice, a biscuit, and a leaflet recommending plenty of wholesome carbohydrates to keep your strength up.

We spend a fortune using sugar to find the thing.

Then we sit the patient down and feed it.

Read that twice.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

One of the most incredible storm damage pictures I’ve ever seen happened this morning in South Dakota. A 131 mph wind gust in the city of Highmore split the roof of the Catholic Church perfectly illuminating the crucifix. This is not AI, it’s been confirmed real by locals. Truly amazing.
