Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire
Reblog to actually save a life
To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it
as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion
Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER!
I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.
Cannot overstate how important this is. Baking soda also does a good trick, but this is still just so, so important!!
or if you dont know how to tai chi, ‘earthbender breaks’ work just as well
[Start I.D.: therapist Hack: anxiety is physical, so it needs a physical response, AKA fight or flight, take a walk for ten minutes it tricks your brain into thinking you’re running away, you will start to feel relieved. End I.D.]
I don’t usually comment on posts like this but for over an entire year I suffered majorly from panic disorder experiencing DOZENS of panic attacks a day, to the point where it was a problem for me to leave the house or even my bed! Until one night i was freaking the Fuck Out, i was like! Screw it! I’ll make a run for it! I left the house at like 2am and just walked. Run a little occasionally and get REALLY angry while doing it and the panic would disappear! Instead of giving my head room to panic i’d give myself a goal: just walk around the block twice and THEN see how you feel. And reeaaally focus on that goal. Sometimes it’d take 3 hours to pass and sometimes only 10 minutes, but not once, to this day, has just getting out there and give into the fight or flight response not helped. By taking action you’re tricking your brain into regaining control when you feel out of control during panic/anxiety!
If u scared? Fuck it! Run!
This is why I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. It does wonders for my anxiety. And I know that I body build but like any kind of physical activity will help. Strongly recommend.
the internet is so cursed, when people look back on the history of covid-19 it’s going to look so different from the history of the plague because we will have left a trace of quarantine playlists all featuring toxic by brittany spears
That is why Toxic becomes an ancient earth ballad.
kitchen nightmares is such a funny show cus these ppl are like we NEED gordon ramsay to save our business and hes like the issue is the foods bad and theyre like how fucking dare you come into my house and insult me you’re an idiot and you don’t know anything and i’m going to kill you
I respect and admire ellen page as a wonderful human and actor but she has never played a convincing straight person in her entire career
honestly if they wanted this romance to come across as anything but “closeted lesbian tries to date the first man who shows any sort of interest in her because she has unresolved attachment and emotional issues” they shouldn’t have cast ellen page
No but seriously. Normalize finding love in your 40’s. Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in your 30’s. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50’s. Life doesn’t end at 25. Let’s stop acting like it does.
