I like pure red light (#FF0000) because its relaxing and lessens visual information overload

Baker-Miller pink is also interesting, was proposed to reduce violence and promote calmness in prison. Also very relaxing

I find myself often winging it with "themself/themselves" and it seems to be like themselves is always colloquially correct when there are multiple preceding nouns you're referring to...

Otherwise if there's only one antecedent or whatever, its themself

Be gentle haha

I want to understand it but everything I read about it oscillates impossibly between vulgar metals -> gold and some kind of spiritual transformation metaphysical stuff

What is it and what can be legit gleaned from it in an empirical or useful sense?

Does it have utility outside of use as a metaphor or allegory or whatever?

I'm more referring to when a random person experiences a random craving for something they've had before.

Does that generally point to something you've had before that unknowingly satisfied a deficiency and which your body tacitly took note of?

I notice it sometimes, like

Beef = i "need" a burger (I'm a skinny dude, beef is not a common staple for me)

Fruit: i need juice or actual berries in yogurt for a smoothie or parfait

I loved a cafe with super comfy couches and chill ambiance (few years). Would love to have a similar haunt someday again but I don't believe I will find it

24 Hour daily agenda (30 minute blocks)

This was from David Burns Feeling Good and I found it quite useful at various points. Basically:

1 Use a form or make your own spreadsheet with all 24 hours of the day covered but split up even further into 30 or 15 minute blocks. It also has a section to report what you scheduled vs what you ended up doing

2 Brainstorm all the things you need or would like to get done and give a time estimate for each based on how long its taken you ideally in the past

3 Schedule each item based on how much effort/complexity it requires (earlier = more complex/energy-intensive) and make sure the tasks are spaced so that there is enough time and a little buffer for breathing room (based on your durations)

Sorta looks like this, can't seem to find the original necessarily but you get the point

Very useful and practical tool

Please name the tool/exercise and limit to CBT for this thread (I want to cover and discover others in future topics focused on them). I really want to avoid boilerplate namedropping "this or that therapy but you'd have to pay to see a therapist, you wouldn't understand". That just not helpful, please elaborate Any pedantic replies not answering question won't be entertained

By stochastic, I mean it randomly ticks on only one arbitrary beat per measure

I sort of want to see what these things are like but I don't want to give them any data or contribute to them in any way haha. I've heard the Queen of Canada uses it which intrigues me

By drinkable, I mean if theres pasta or vegatables they are small and the soup is generally able to be drank rather than necessarily needing a utensil to take in

All I can think of are

• italian wedding soup
• Liptons cup o soup (wish there was a heartier version of this with similar noodles but infinity of them)

EDIT: Pretty sure I wanna do something like The Geeky Chef's "Elixir Soup" from Windwaker but I want to find little noodles like Lipton's Cup o' Soup
