Use your PTO ✈️\nIt sounds simple, but did you use every day of your PTO last year? Most people didn't - and it shows. Time away from the office helps us to reset and recharge. When we don't have that time, it's easy to start feeling overwhelmed and overloaded.\n\n2. Have a self-care routine 🛀🏼\nSpend at least a little time each day doing something that helps you recharge. Then establish a weekly and monthly schedule to take it to the next level. Self-care includes things like exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, reading, meditating, and journaling. \n\n3. Find a hobby you enjoy 🏂🏼\nIt's easy to become consumed by work. But you need something to remind you that there's a whole wide world out there with a lot of important and joyful things happening in it. \nStarting a new hobby or picking up an old one you haven't had time for is a great way to add a bit of joy back into your routine. Snowboarding, knitting, running on the beach, gardening — it doesn't matter what it is. All that matters is that you find something that fills your cup.\n\n4. Reach out to those around you 🤗\nIsolation and burnout go hand-in-hand. Life seems a lot more overwhelming when we're trying to face it alone. Prioritize spending time with your family and friends. They'll help you stay grounded. If there aren't currently many people in your life that can help you in this way, reach out to meet new ones! \n\nIt's not easy to avoid burnout amidst the hustle culture we have today. But navigating this challenge successfully will make you a valuable and desirable employee. And more importantly, it will help you to find and enjoy a true work-life balance.

Here are some amazing long-term strategies to build a thriving music career as an independent artist:\n \n1. Safeguard your musical assets: Legal protection is crucial for musicians because it protects your intellectual property rights and you won’t have to deal with legal hassles in the future.\n \n2. Make yourself heard: Create a strong online presence to become more visible and accessible to potential fans. Your music, bio, tour dates, and contact info must be up-to-date and easily searchable online.\n \n3. Build a top-notch team: Select the right people to support your goals and match your work ethic. Find a solid booking agent that shares your vision and can land you gigs, as well as a manager who understands your unique sound and can help grow your brand's identity. \n \n4. Brand yourself uniquely: Carve out a unique niche and a compelling identity to set yourself apart from the rest of the pack. Build a strong online presence that reflects your style and musical identity. Create merch that represents your brand, and don’t forget to have fun along the way. \n\n5. Stay Ahead of the Game: Understand what people want to hear. Stay up-to-date with the latest music trends and use that knowledge to tailor your sound. Know your audience and what they respond to, and constantly iterate your approach to stay fresh and relevant.\n\n6. Cash is King: As an independent artist, your financial situation is paramount. You'll need to become a savvy entrepreneur and learn how to make the most of every dollar spent. Budget wisely, pursue smart investments and don't be too proud to bring in financial advisors or business partners to help you succeed.\n\n7. It's All About Who You Know: Networking is a must-have skill for all independent artists. Attend industry events, reach out to fellow musicians and industry professionals, and build a strong social media presence. Consistently seek out genuine relationships with people who can help get your music to the ears of the right people.

Here are some creative ways to repurpose your old furniture without painting and give them an entirely new function:\n\n1. Cocktail Hour Cabinet: Turn that dusty old cabinet into a chic and functional bar! Remove any shelves and add wine glass holders, bottle racks, and maybe even a mini fridge. With a few additions and a little elbow grease, your old cabinet will be the perfect place to mix up your favorite cocktails.\n\n2. Metallic Marvels: Revamp your drab steel furniture with a pop of color! Powder coating is a technique that uses an electrically charged powder to coat and protect metal surfaces. It's a durable and long-lasting fix to update your old patio furniture, outdoor fixtures, or any metal piece begging for a new look.\n\n3. Rainbow Rendezvous: Bring some bold energy to your cozy space with repainted side tables in bright colors. Try this easy DIY project that requires no paint, and you’ll be amazed at what a little sandpaper, primer, and a few cans of spray paint can do. Go for a funky rainbow effect or keep it monochromatic with a bright yellow or teal pop of color. Let your imagination go wild!\n\n4. From Door to Coffee: Why settle for a boring old coffee table when you can create a unique and charming one with an old door? Simply repurpose it by adding legs or a sturdy base to convert it into a coffee-table top. The distressed look adds character to your living space while also providing a practical surface for your morning coffees.\n\n5. Dress Up Your Bathroom: Spruce up your bathroom by repurposing an old dresser into a sink vanity. The spacious drawers offer plenty of storage for towels, toiletries and other essentials. It's an inexpensive trick to add a touch of chicness to your space.\n\n6. Handle with Care: Something as simple as swapping out old hardware for new knobs or pulls can give an old dresser a fresh and modern look. You can find hardware in many styles and finishes at most hardware stores or online. Choose hardware that complements your decor or adds a pop of color to your room.", "role": "assistant" } ]

", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A civilization known as Gobekli Tepe, which is located in modern-day Turkey, was built 6,000 years before Stonehenge. It is heralded as one of the first sites of man-made monumental architecture in the world. On top of a limestone plateau, a German archaeologist named Klaus Schmidt was the first to discover over 20 circular stone enclosures. The largest was almost 65 feet across, with two elaborately carved 18-foot pillars in the middle. The pillars have distinctive T-shapes and are reminiscent of the human form. Some of the pillars contain reliefs that depict items of clothing and wild animals. The nature of stone tools and other artifacts found at the site show that the monoliths were built by hunter-gatherers. At that time in history, creating these immense pillars would involve using wood and stone tools to shape the limestone, then creating some sort of pulley system using rope, log beams, and a lot of manpower.\n\nOriginally, the apparent lack of residences led Schmidt to believe that the site was used solely for religious rituals, a place where nomadic bands would join together for periodic building projects and great feasts. This was a significant claim, given the time when the site was built. Remember, this was a transitional period in human history. Hunter-gathers, who had been living off the land for generations, were developing into societies that were beginning to grow their food intentionally and domesticate the animals around them. it had long been believed that rituals and religion were luxuries that developed only well after humans settled into these new societies. This discovery, however, showed that perhaps complex religion and social organization actually came before settlement and agriculture. Perhaps it was the very needs imposed by the religious rituals themselves - coming together to build the statues required large gatherings where people needed to be fed, thus the need to make food supplies more predictable by domesticating plants and animals - that prompted the shift towards the Neolithic Revolution. \n\nHowever, in 2017, new discoveries changed the message of Gobekli Tepe. Work began to erect fabric-and-steel shelters to cover the central monumental buildings to make the site more comfortable for visiting tourists. As teams dug deeper into the bedrock than ever before, they made a shocking discovery. The digs revealed evidence of houses and year-round settlement, suggesting that instead of an isolated temple visited only on special occasions, Gobekli Tepe was a lively village with large, special buildings at the center. A rainwater collection system was also discovered, along with tools for grinding grain and even brewing beer. Since then, archaeologists working in the surrounding countryside have found at least a dozen other hilltop sites with similar pairs of T-shaped pillars, dating from around the same period. \n\nSo what do these discoveries mean? Well, instead of the building project launching the transition to farming, perhaps Gobleki Tepe was an attempt by hunter-gatherers to cling to their way of life amidst a world that was changing around them. Evidence shows that settlements on other hills in the region were experimenting with domestication plants and animals, while the people of Gobleki Tepe appear to have been resisting the change. A sentimental reminder of a way of life that was quickly disappearing, Gobleki Tepe reminds us that humanity today is not really that different from humanity 11,000 years ago. We're all just trying to move forward, while at the same time, we can't quite let go of the past. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Go to the movies - Pick a film that your mother is excited to see, stock up on snacks from the concession stand, and enjoy 1-2 hours with no talking. If your mother tends to comment on the film despite the rule of silence, offer her popcorn or another snack to subtly discourage the habit. \n2. Visit a museum - Talking is allowed in museums, but it’s generally frowned upon to make too much boisterous noise in this atmosphere. It’s also an environment where you can easily find excuses to walk away and put distance between yourself and your mother—just pretend you want to check out an interesting display that’s caught your eye on the opposite side of the room.\n3. Go to a spa - You could get manicures and/or pedicures, massages, mud baths, and more. The longer you spend pampering yourselves, the better you’ll both feel. \n4. Take a yoga class - Yoga is a great way to promote relaxation and tranquility. Talking during the class is generally discouraged, but hopefully, the serenity promoted in the class will translate into easier communication and peace of mind throughout the remainder of the day, too.\n5. Go shopping - If you go to large enough stores, this will give you both opportunities to browse on your own and just touch base once in a while. \n6. Go to a live performance - Whether it’s a concert, play, dance recital, or a trip to the circus, the noise will make it difficult to sustain a conversation, and your mother will probably be too distracted by the spectacle onstage to talk to you.\n7. Take a class or workshop - You could sign up for a cooking class, pottery workshop, dance class, or writing workshop—whatever new skill your mother is most interested in learning. These environments won’t necessarily discourage talking, but you’ll likely be focused on the task at hand so any conversation you share is less likely to be emotionally charged.

Overall, the flavors were pretty good but a little on the mild side. Also, my drink was slow to arrive at the table, and I felt pressured to purchase chai, too.\n\nI'd give Sundara Palace a solid three stars, but I'd definitely consider additional stars for the following changes:\n\n* More items need to be offered on the buffet. There were empty places for additional dishes, and I was very disappointed that tandoori chicken wasn't present!\n* Have someone with better handwriting label the dishes (or print them out from the computer). People should know for sure what they're scooping onto their plates.\n* Please understand that not everyone wants hot tea. Ask your servers not to insist that customers have chai at the end of their meal.\n\nI fully intend to return to Sundara Palace in the future to give it another try and will update my review then!\n", "role": "assistant" } ]
