“This just in! Scientist have successfully communicated with sea life, and they are much smarter than ever expected. No not dolphins or whales, but crabs. And these crustaceans have much to say about our way of life. We’re jumping on the scene with Triton Gaiah, Triton?”

“That’s right, talking crabs! And now they we can hear them they’re making sure we listen. Just two weeks after making first conversation with this hard shell creatures they have set demands with scientists. But what could they want?

What if I told you it was to advocate, but not just for the end of the crab genocide but for the end of ocean destruction as well. Scientist and congress alike have been informed that these snappy crabs have rallied guard sharks, alerted the high dolphin council, and even contacting the big guns. You guessed it, the cephalopods.

Tune in live this Wednesday as we witness the historical first meeting with Oceanus 7, a collective formulated throughout every ocean and allied with a few human organizations, from Oceana to Peta. And with echo communication there’s no surprise how fast word can travel through the ocean.

hi ayn! 💞 i said i would figure this out for us and i think i finally have something ☺️ hope it helps!!

every girl's guide to start exercising again

don't beat yourself up about stopping

life is really busy and there just isn't enough time or energy to go around sometimes. that's just how it is and if you find yourself in that quote-unquote “rut,” you're definitely not alone because everyone has been there and will be there again at one point or another.

if you berate yourself for stopping, you will feel even more resistance to starting, why? because now you're afraid of stopping again once you do. but if you miss one day, one week, one month, one year, or more, it is never too late to start back up again.

start really, really, really, really small

yolo it — don't even think about being consistent or having a schedule or plan, just do one exercise session for however long you feel like. even if it's just a simple series of warm-up stretches and you never get to the quote-unquote “real” exercise, who cares? remember, you're doing this for you and your body!

just pick something fun and low-pressure, whatever that means for you! most of the time, i'm not in the mood for anyone to see me exercise, so i go somewhere private and just do a home workout. other times, i really want to hang out with friends and make the workout fun with the social aspect of it, so i go to a gym or park!

remind yourself of and work on your F.U.N. goal

exit S.M.A.R.T. goals, enter F.U.N. goals!

F — Fun. your goal is to have as much fun as possible when you exercise. it won't always be fun, that not a realistic expectation, but if it's often fun, then that's enough for your brain to start to look forward to it! so, favorite music, a supportive workout buddy, an active hobby you enjoy doing anyway, whatever you need to do to make it fun, do it.

U — Unlimited. give yourself an unlimited amount of time to play. whether it's five minutes or five hours (with breaks!), don't restrict it either way. also give yourself permission to change your mind about what you like as often as you like! maybe one day you're really into weight lifting and then another you really want to try cycling or dancing or a team sport — remember that your first commitment should be to yourself and your health! don't let other commitments conflict with this!

N — New. once in a while, inject something new and shiny if you haven't already with the previous two bullet points. even if you consider yourself someone who thrives on routine, your brain still gets super freaking excited over novelty! even a small change like a new workout fit or trying out a new gym branch can make your old routine feel fresh and new again, which in turn inspires you to keep going!

other important reminders to make exercise feel good physically so that you want to keep doing it:

drink lots of water before, during, and after exercise!

eat a healthy meal/snack after moderate/high intensity physical activity!

take breaks as you need them!!! i don't just mean breaks within the workout itself, i also mean take a break from your fitness era to focus on other responsibilities that might be pressing or if you're sick or tired or in pain. if you force yourself to exercise too much, you stop having fun and enjoying your workouts, they become a chore, and before you know it, it's hard to start again. (and it's also just not good for your body, so please don't overdo it, lovelies 🥺)
