Boom goes the gun

breath in for 4 seconds

hold your breath for 7 seconds

exhale breath for 8 seconds

repeat once or twice more.

This causes an autonomic nervous system shift from a sympathetic (fight or flight reaction) state to a parasympathetic response.

Medina x Petra 😍

i walked out of my apartment this morning and a five year old kid was playing outside and immediately he pointed at my aparment and was like “some chinese people used to live there. now someone else does”

and i was like… you mean that one? and pointed at my apartment, the one i literally just walked out of

and he was like “yeah”

and he tells the girl beside him YOU TELL HIM so she tells me “there’s a guide coming! and he’s invisible!” and ofc i’m like WHOA THAT’S SO COOL and the boy tells me that he’s arriving by helicopter. and the helicopter is also invisible and you can’t hear it either! so I ask why he’s coming and they tell me it’s because it’s his birthday and he’ll be here at exactly 6:00

“i had a question”

so I was like alright what was your question

and he goes “do you have a kitchen?” and I was like… uhh yeah I’ve got a kitchen

As you may know Spanish is spoken in many countries, therefore there are significant differences between the Spanish that is spoken in each place, differences such as the vocabulary. Here I’m showing you words from the two variations I know best: from Spain, as I live there, and from Argentina, because my father and his family is from there so I’ve been raised hearing this variant too. Some of the words could be used in other countries too, or they could not be used in the whole country because in each one there are even more variants of the language, some are used in both countries but you will hear them with more frequency in one of them. Also feel free to add more words if you know them or tell me if you notice any mistake.
