I may not find joy every day. Some days will just be hard, and I will simply exist, and that’s okay, too. No one should have to be happy all the time—no one can be, with the ways in which life throws curveballs at us. On those days, it’s important not to mourn the lack of joy but to remember how it feels, to remember that to feel at all is one of the greatest gifts we have in life. When that doesn’t work, we can remind ourselves that the absence of joy isn’t permanent; it’s just the way life works sometimes. The reality of disability and joy means accepting that not every day is good but every day has openings for small pockets of joy.

I was only happy when things went smoothly and came apart at the seams when i was thrown a curveball.
NOW, i realize, that the key to happiness is surrendering to the illusion of control. And to trust that, no matter what happens to me, i have the infinite inner-wisdom and strength to find my way through.

Every exam, every tournament, every match, every recital—there’s always some wrinkle, some misplaced calculator or sudden headache, a glaring sun or an unexpected essay question. At bottom, interleaving is a way of building into our daily practice not only a dose of review but also an element of surprise. “The brain is exquisitely tuned to pick up incongruities, all of our work tells us that,” said Michael Inzlicht, a neuroscientist at the University of Toronto. “Seeing something that’s out of order or out of place wakes the brain up, in effect, and prompts the subconscious to process the information more deeply: ‘Why is this here?’ ” Mixed-up practice doesn’t just build overall dexterity and prompt active discrimination. It helps prepare us for life’s curveballs, literal and figurative.

Carl was a gifted partner: While he deferred the punch lines to me, he knew me well enough to follow along and cross paths enough to set me up for more opportunities. He also knew he could throw me a complete curveball and I’d swing for the fences.

Anton stood up and crossed the room to sit beside her on the sofa. “I’ve often thought that a marriage is like a covered wagon, full of the stuff of life. The man and the woman are the two workhorses who pull it. Eventually, it gets heavy. There are children in the wagon, a home that needs to be maintained, feelings that need to be protected and nurtured when life throws curveballs. It works when both partners pull together, but the journey can’t continue for long if one partner unbuckles the straps and decides to ride in the wagon, because it’s easier, and because he knows his partner will keep pulling no matter what. Sometimes it can’t be helped. If someone gets sick or is suffering in some other way . . . physically or emotionally or financially . . . when that happens, the other person needs to bear more of the load, but generally, when both partners are capable, husband and wife should be a team, pulling together, or at least taking equal turns.

Post-Rehab Advice: 5 Things to Do After Getting Out of Rehab
Getting yourself into rehab is not the easiest thing to do, but it is certainly one of the most important things you can ever do for your well-being. However, your journey to self-healing does not simply end on your last day at rehab. Now that you have committed your self to sobriety and wellness, the next step is maintaining the new life you have built.
To make sure that you are on the right track, here are some tips on what you should do as soon as you get back home from treatment.
1. Have a Game Plan
Most people are encouraged to leave rehab with a proper recovery plan. What’s next for you? Envision how you want yourself to be after the inpatient treatment. This is a crucial part of the entire recovery process since it will be easier to determine the next phase of treatment you need.
2. Build Your New Social Life
Finishing rehab opens endless opportunities for you. Use it to put yourself out in the world and maybe even pursue a new passion in life. Keep in mind that there are a lot of alcohol- and drug-free activities that offer a social and mental outlet. Meet new friends by playing sports, taking a class or volunteering. It is also a good opportunity for you to have sober friends who can help you through your recovery.
3. Keep Yourself Busy
One of the struggles after rehab is finding purpose. Your life in recovery will obviously center on trying to stay sober. To remain sober in the long term, you must have a life that’s worth living. What drives you? Begin finding your purpose by trying out things that make you productive and satisfied at the same time. Get a new job, do volunteer work or go back to school. Try whatever is interesting for you.
4. Pay It Forward
As a person who has gone through rehab, you are in the perfect place to help those who are in the early stages of recovery. Join a support group and do not be afraid to tell your story. Reaching out to other recovering individuals will also help keep your mind off your own struggles, while being an inspiration to others.
5. Get Help If You’re Still Struggling
Research proves that about half of those in recovery will relapse, usually within the treatment’s first few months. However, these numbers do not necessarily mean that rehab is a waste of time. Similar to those with physical disabilities who need continuous therapy, individuals recovering from addiction also require ongoing support to stay clean and sober.
Are you slipping back to your old ways? Do not let pride or shame take control of your mind. Life throws you a curveball sometimes, and slipping back to old patterns does not mean you are hopeless. Be sure to have a sober friend, family, therapist or sponsor you could trust and call in case you are struggling. Remember that building a drug- and alcohol-free life is no walk in the park, but you will likely get through it with the help of those who are dear to you.

Life just gets you down. That is a fact. There is no changing that. But you can do something at least. Make the most of what you're given. If you're thrown a curve-ball, do your best to make the home-run. If they cheat, well you still work as hard as you can to hit that ball out of the park, reach the stars. Eventually the ball will come back down. Eventually you will have to do all of this again. This time, you have practice though. If you didn't hit it the first time, you know you need to adjust. If you did, you know exactly what to do this time. If you couldn't tell, this was not just about baseball. This was about dreams. Get out there. Go ace that test, Go make that touchdown, Go accomplish something, anything. Every little thing you do... will leave an impact on the world. These accomplishments could just be the stepping stones for an even greater imprint. Make your mark.

You tell me. What can YOU tell ME about the company?” I’ll never forget the look on everyone’s face when I uttered those words. He looked at me with amusement, and I could tell I’d totally thrown him off guard. Like a Bawse. After a few minutes of him pitching the company to me (due to my curveball), he finally asked, “What do you want to achieve?” To this I responded with complete honesty. I said, “World domination,” with a straight face. After a beat—you know, for dramatic effect—I began to elaborate on everything I wanted to accomplish. There was so much presence in the room that the past and future started feeling insecure.

There are. Storytelling may be the mind’s way of rehearsing for the real world, a cerebral version of the playful activities documented across numerous species which provide a safe means for practicing and refining critical skills. Leading psychologist and all-around man of the mind Steven Pinker describes a particularly lean version of the idea: “Life is like chess, and plots are like those books of famous chess games that serious players study so they will be prepared if they ever find themselves in similar straits.” Pinker imagines that through story we each build a “mental catalogue” of strategic responses to life’s potential curveballs, which we can then consult in moments of need. From fending off devious tribesmen to wooing potential mates, to organizing collective hunts, to avoiding poisonous plants, to instructing the young, to apportioning meager food supplies, and so on, our forebears faced one obstacle after another as their genes sought a presence in subsequent generations. Immersion in fictional tales grappling with a wide assortment of similar challenges would have had the capacity to refine our forebears’ strategies and responses. Coding the brain to engage with fiction would thus be a clever way to cheaply, safely, and efficiently give the mind a broader base of experience from which to operate.

Hi, Dale, it’s Gabby...Clay’s girlfriend.” It felt weird giving myself that title, but I pushed it aside. Bigger issues to deal with. “If he’s there, can I talk to him?” Dale chuckled. “Sure, but I don’t imagine it’d be much of a conversation.” I heard him call out to Clay. A moment later, a husky voice said, “Hello?” After not talking to me for so long, hearing his voice startled and annoyed me slightly. He would talk to a perfect stranger, but not me? I opened my mouth to say something about it, but the pain in my head insistently prodded me to get on with the important news. “Clay, I did it again. I’m at the diner where we had breakfast. I need you to come get me before it gets worse.” He didn’t say anything for so long that I looked at the phone to see if I still had a signal. The screen said disconnected. Would it have killed him to say “Okay” or maybe even “Bye” before hanging up? His hello had been too shocking to recall the sound of his voice. I sighed and put my cell away.

The last of the waves hit me. Only determination and a hand over my mouth kept me from whimpering. After about ten minutes, I settled the bill and watched out the window for Clay, barely checking the need to curl into a ball and lie down on the padded bench. The waitress kept a close eye on me, probably thinking she would need to clean up barf soon. She might. Dale’s huge tow truck pulled into the parking lot. Clay opened his door and leapt out while it still rolled to a stop. Through the window, he spotted me. His eyes never left me as he strode in and Dale pulled away.

WHY IT’S BAD TO BE SINGLE: (An itemized list of undisputable evidence) 1. Outside my parents and my sister and her family, I have no family or children of my own. 2. I have no immediate support system to come home to, when life throws its challenges and curveballs. 3. I’m lonely. 4. I have no one to go to parties or special events with. When big events happen—even when they’re good—I walk in alone. 5. I never get to take advantage of the “two people can combine resources and live together cheaper than apart” deal. 6. No one loves me. (My mother’s love doesn’t count in this case. Sorry, Mom!) 7. There’s this constant question about many guys I meet: is he the one? Is he worth dating? The search feels never-ending. 8. There’s the continuing heartbreak of liking guys who have no interest in me. (This happens a lot!) 9. I can be selfish sometimes because there isn’t that person to care for daily, whose needs are above my own (spouse or children). 10. There isn’t anyone to cuddle with, enjoy affections with, sleep beside (or let’s be honest—have sex with).

Remembering why He died helps us to increase our faith in difficult moments. He died to save us because He loves us. If, then, life is throwing curveballs at you, remember that Jesus is so dead-set on saving you from your situation that He would rather die than watch you suffer. Yet He allows us to suffer for a greater good, and that good is our growth. Then, when we have grown and our faith has been tested, He saves us. Remember that He intends to save you, no matter what. He gave it all for that reason, so focus on His sacrifice and on His love. In so doing, you’ll be strengthened, remembering that God’s ultimate goal is to deliver you out of all your trials.

If someone gets sick or is suffering in some other way . . . physically or emotionally or financially . . . when that happens, the other person needs to bear more of the load, but generally, when both partners are capable, husband and wife should be a team, pulling together, or at least taking equal turns.

I’ve learned that the measure of your love isn’t how “okay” you both are or how quickly you hit the curveballs that life throws at you. Love’s true test, the measure of its strength, is its bravery to be honest, its willingness to face the hardest moments and say, Even though there’s nothing to be done, at least I have you.

For instance, growing up, I learned that you don’t talk about things that are ugly in your life. You don’t talk about your fears, your failures, or your insecurities. You don’t talk about the big, hard curveballs that life throws at you, and the mistakes we all make in the process. You don’t talk about the ugly that life can bring and the ugly emotions that appear. And when we have to hide those pieces of ourselves, all we’re left with is a big pile of shame (that we also need to hide).

Pregnancy Skincare: Nurturing Your Glow with Expert Care – Motherhood Chaitanya Hospital
Pregnancy – a wondrous journey that transforms your world in every conceivable way. As you
prepare to welcome a new life into the world, your body takes center stage, and so does your
skincare routine. Amidst the excitement and anticipation, the canvas of your skin undergoes its own
set of changes. But fret not, for the guidance of best gynecologist obstetricians in Chandigarh and
the expert care at Motherhood Chaitanya Hospital can help you navigate the realm of pregnancy
skincare with grace and confidence.
The Glow and the Challenges
Ah, the famed pregnancy glow! While it’s true that many expectant mothers experience a certain
radiance, it’s also a time when your skin decides to throw a few curveballs. Hormones like estrogen
and progesterone, the maestros behind many pregnancy changes, might lead to increased oil
production. This could result in unexpected acne or that elusive “glow” turning into a somewhat
excessive shine.
And let’s not forget about the infamous melasma, often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy.” This
uneven pigmentation might make an appearance on your face, especially if you’re basking in the
sun’s rays without proper protection. But worry not, for the guidance of the best gynaecologist in
Chandigarh, you can take steps to manage these challenges and let your true radiance shine
through.
Dos and Don’ts
In this symphony of pregnancy skincare, it’s crucial to compose a harmonious routine that nurtures
both your skin and the life growing within you. First and foremost, let’s talk hydration. Drinking
water is like giving your skin a refreshing dose of vitality, ensuring that it remains supple and
resilient.
As you venture into the world of skincare products, remember that less is more. Opt for gentle,
pregnancy-safe cleansers that cleanse without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture.
Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin can be your skin’s best friends, offering hydration
without clogging pores.
Ah, the allure of sunscreen! Now more than ever, shielding your skin from the sun’s rays is of
paramount importance. Look for a broad-spectrum SPF and ensure that it’s pregnancy-safe. A hat
and sunglasses can also join the ensemble of sun protection.
Now, as you scan the beauty aisles, you might come across a wide array of products promising
miracles. But be cautious – not all ingredients are pregnancy-friendly. Best gynecologist in Sector44C would advise steering clear of retinoids, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide. Instead, embrace
the calming embrace of ingredients like chamomile and aloe vera.
Treating Yourself with Care
Amidst the whirlwind of preparations, don’t forget to treat yourself to moments of self-care. A
gentle exfoliation once or twice a week can help slough away dead skin cells and keep your
complexion radiant. Opt for exfoliants with natural granules to ensure that your skin is treated with
the gentleness it deserves.
Expert Support for Your Glow
The journey of pregnancy is as unique as a fingerprint, and so is your skin’s response to it. That’s why
seeking guidance from the best obstetricians in Chandigarh can make all the difference.
As you navigate the realms of pregnancy skincare, remember that the changes your skin undergoes
are a testament to the incredible journey you’re on. It’s a journey of growth, transformation, and the
anticipation of new beginnings. With the guidance of experts, a touch of self-care, and the support
of Motherhood Chaitanya Hospital, you can stride through this journey with confidence, letting your
inner glow shine as brightly as your dreams.

Start where you are. Begin. Commence. Get going. Crank up. Initiate. Mobilize. Start where you are.” “Never be intimidated by external indicators. The mortgage rate’s too high. Weather too hot. Your body too sick. You think you’re too young, too old, too black, too white. Some of us are so discouraged by where [we] want to be. It appears so distant and so far away and so unlikely. The dreams seem so expansive and the horizons seem so far. It feels like you won’t ever get it done.” “But Jael told me to tell you start where you are.”6 “You’ve gotten stuck in your reality at the expense of your possibility.” “Subversive shifts begin with one small beginning.” “Don’t stay hamstrung by your yesterdays, harnessed and muzzled by who hurt you, who failed you and who dropped you and who quit on you and who cheated on you and who left you.” “Bust the move and start where you are.

“
I’ve often thought that a marriage is like a covered wagon, full of the stuff of life. The man and the woman are the two workhorses who pull it. Eventually, it gets heavy. There are children in the wagon, a home that needs to be maintained, feelings that need to be protected and nurtured when life throws curveballs. It works when both partners pull together, but the journey can’t continue for long if one partner unbuckles the straps and decides to ride in the wagon, because it’s easier, and because he knows his partner will keep pulling no matter what.
