7351. Elizabeth
considers me her best friend;
7352. Dr. David
Lewis Hodgson of Mindlab confirmed the song, “Weightless,” by Marconi Union
reduces anxiety by 65% and heart rate by 35%;
7353. There are
two times in retirement: when you are healthy and when you are not. Plan to travel in the first five years of
retirement then if you’re healthy enough to travel after that consider yourself
lucky;
7354. Think
like an entrepreneur. Your investments
are a business and you need to treat them like that in order to reach your
financial goals;
7355. If you
want a faster way to get rich, you need to have a mind open to new ideas and
have the skills to take on possibilities greater than your current
abilities. In order to do that, you must
have a reality that can change, expand and grow quickly. To try and get rich with a poor person’s
reality or a reality that comes from lack and limitation is an impossible
mission;
7356. OkCupid
reported in 2009 that the male users who were rated most physically attractive
by female users got 11 times as many messages as the lowest-rated men did;
medium-rated men received about 4 times as many messages. The disparity for women was starker: About
two-thirds of messages went to the one-third of women who were rated most physically
attractive;
7357. A study
by researchers at the University of Michigan and the Santa Fe Institute found
that online daters of both genders tend to pursue prospective mates who are on
average 25% more desirable than they are; presumably not a winning strategy;
7358. One study
found that while hooking up with a new partner, only 31% of men and 11% of
women reached orgasm. By contrast, when
people who were asked about their most recent sexual encounter in the context
of a relationship, 84% of men and 67% of women said they’d had an orgasm;
7359. The 2017
iteration of Match.com’s “Single in America” survey (co-led by Helen Fisher and
the Kinsey Institute’s Justin Garcia) found that single millennials were 66%
less likely than members of older generations to enjoy receiving oral sex;
7360. Among
people who are sexually inexperienced at age 18, about 80% will become sexually
active by the time they are 25. But
those who haven’t gained sexual experience by their mid-20s are much less
likely to ever do so;
7361. The
authors of a 2009 study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine speculated
that “if a man or woman has not had intercourse by age 25, there is a
reasonable chance [he or she] will remain a virgin at least until age 45;”
7362. Research
by Stanford’s Michael Rosenfeld found that, over the course of a year, only 50%
of heterosexual, single women in their 20s go on any dates and older women are
even less likely to do so;
7363. Sleep
deprivation strongly suppresses sexual desire and sleep quality is imperiled by
now-common practices like checking one’s phone overnight;
7364. For
women, getting an extra hour of sleep predicts a 14% greater likelihood of
having sex the next day;
7365.
Apparently, if you’re a felon, you can still be a tow truck or a taxicab
driver;
7366. There’s a
difference between happiness and pleasure;
7367. In 2017,
the U.S. birth rate hit a record low for a second year running;
7368. Birth
rates are declining among women in their 30s.
As a result, some 500,000 fewer American babies were born in 2017 than
in 2007, even though more women were of prime childbearing age;
7369. Over the
same period, the number of children the average American woman is expected to
have fell from 2.1 (the so-called replacement rate or fertility level required
to sustain population levels without immigration) to 1.76;
7370. In Italy,
half of 25 to 34 year-olds now live with their parents;
7371. A
fulfilling sex life is not necessary for a good life, but lots of research
confirms that it contributes to one;
7372. Having
sex is associated not only with happiness, but with a slew of other health
benefits;
7373. The
relationship between sex and wellness goes both ways: The better off you are,
the better off your sex life is and vice versa.
Unfortunately, the converse is true as well;
7374. Not
having a partner, sexual or romantic, can be both a cause and an effect of
discontent;
7375. As
American institutions have withered having a life partner has become a stronger
predictor than ever of well-being;
7376. Those who
have many things going for them already (e.g., looks, money, psychological
resilience & strong social networks) continue to be well positioned to find
love and have good sex and, if they so desire, become parents, but intimacy may
grow more elusive to those who are on less steady footing;
7377. Frank
Robinson (of the Baltimore Orioles) was the first black manager in Major League
Baseball;
7378. A failed,
offside challenge (in an NHL game) now results in a minor penalty (to the
offending team) for delay of game rather than just a forfeited timeout (i.e.,
rule 78.7);
7379. The real
measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all of your
money;
7380. We’ve
internalized the voices of others. We
had people react to us which created a thought about who we are. And we’ve thought about it and thought about
it and thought about it. We have thought
about it so much we don’t even call them thoughts we call them truths. Thoughts are the firing and wiring of neural
pathways of the mind. They are not
reality. They’re habit. Separate yourself from your thoughts. Free yourself from thinking they are true;
7381. When your
needs become your partner’s needs, you live life to light them up. If that becomes the game then everything
changes;
7382. Realign
yourself with what is truly important – meeting your partner’s needs, being
truly present with those you love and experiencing, in the moment, the beauty
of the world around you;
7383. In a
three-dimensional relationship, you treat your partner’s needs as equal to your
own and, when you meet your partner’s needs in this way, you develop a
profoundly deep bond;
7384. Even if
you don’t love every task itself, you can still love why you’re doing it;
7385. Loving
the bigger “why” of what you’re doing across all of the tasks you perform gives
your life a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. Even with a sense of meaning and purpose, we
still need to have fun from time to time;
7386. Look at
all of the tasks you do and ask yourself, “Do I love it?” If the answer is “no” then “Do I at least
love the outcomes of it – what it gives me?
So that I’m willing to keep doing it?
Or could I delegate it and use my energy elsewhere which would give me
more joy?”
7387. How many
things do we end up doing because we think we should? Because we’ve been told that’s what we ought
to do? Or just because we know how and
we can? Things that with a bit of
imagination and attention we could figure out how to delegate or even just stop
doing altogether (because they’re really not that important after all)? Find a way to ditch or delegate these things
and you’ll open up space and energy in your life for many more joyful and
abundant things to take their place;
7388. One thing
that is crucial to every intimate relationship is maintaining a strong sense of
connection. When you’re truly connected
with your partner, you feel secure, understood and as if you could conquer the
world together. But how do you maintain
that connection in the midst of life’s inevitable stressors? It all comes down to supporting your partner
in satisfying their own personal needs.
A relationship is not a place you go to get, it’s a place you go
to give – and, when you focus on your partner’s needs as if they were
your own, you’ll experience a level of connection and fulfillment that you have
never experienced before;
7389. What
happens when connection is lost? Unless
it is addressed early, a common end-result of feeling disconnected is
infidelity. Whether it is physical or
emotional, infidelity is devastating.
The story is very much the same: “I felt lonely,” “I felt unwanted,” “I
felt scared,” “You didn’t seem to care about me anymore.” While there is no excuse for being unfaithful,
it becomes easy for one to justify infidelity when s/he feels alone, forgotten
or neglected in the relationship;
7390. While we
should take care of our own needs first, the key as a partner is to be in a
constant state of readiness. Otherwise,
you’ll both be scrambling simultaneously to meet your own needs and neglect one
another’s;
7391. It is
also important to make a distinction between wants and needs as well as
immediate and future needs. Just because
you want something doesn’t mean that it is a need – and, just because
you have a need, doesn’t mean it is an immediate need;
7392. Make sure
your immediate needs are regularly met so you can help to satisfy your
partner’s needs as they arise;
7393. If you
have a plan in place to ensure that your own needs are consistently being met,
you’ll be better prepared to tend to your partner’s needs when the connection
starts to fade;
7394.
Extraordinary relationships don’t come to people because they are
lucky. Long-lasting, quality
relationships are the result of mutual respect, passion and commitment;
7395.
Regardless of gender, we all contain both masculine and feminine energy
7396. Your
leading energy reflects your inner nature and values;
7397. There are
women who have masculine leading energy just as there are men who have feminine
leading energy;
7398.
Understanding your leading or core energy is necessary to align yourself
or else you will be unhappy no matter how much you succeed;
7399. Masculine
energy focuses on one task or issue at a time;
7400. Feminine
energy is taking in everything at once;
