3 Exhausting Behaviors Or A Person Obsessed With Being Perfect | Ruth Schimel, PhD

3 Exhausting Behaviors Or A Person Obsessed With Being Perfect | Ruth Schimel, PhD

For some people, striving for perfection feels like a good thing. After all, as a perfectionist, you give everything your best, most concerted efforts. However, perfectionism doesn’t mean your work will be great, and in some cases, trying to be perfect all the time can actually become a self-sabotaging habit. Perfectionists often don’t just want their work to be perfect — they feel like it needs to be, to prove their value to themselves and others. That can lead to an endless inner cycle of self-criticism that lowers self-esteem over time. Although I generally avoid being a perfectionist, I am suffering from the self-sabotaging effects of perfectionism right now as I edit a challenging, long chapter in my seventh book. Losing count of the endless iterations, I find the whole process very humbling. It also exposes how closely my ego is entangled with this process, even though I should be able to let go after less obsessive experiences with previous books.  Yet, in this situation, I realized my issue is tying the chapter topic too …

In an unexpectedly heartbreaking moment during the Australian pop icon’s new Netflix series, Kylie, the 57-year-old opens up about the impact of her relationship with INXS frontman, Michael Hutchence, whom she dated between 1989 and 1991. “We were good together,” Minogue said of the late musician, who took his own life in 1997 at the age of 37. “Shoulda, woulda, coulda. You know, you go on and live your lives. But it was definitely an amazing point in time. I’ve probably been looking for something like that ever since, and I haven’t got it.” It’s a quietly devastating moment that the singer appears keen to quickly move past; after getting teary and admitting the …

The Most Intelligent Person In Any Room Has 9 Obvious Traits

The Most Intelligent Person In Any Room Has 9 Obvious Traits

Even though we collectively believe we know what being smart looks like, real links between personality and intelligence are much more unexpected and complex. From openness to new experiences and conscientiousness, as a 2023 study explains, an intelligent individual’s personality is more nuanced than media portrayals and social media discourse allow. Even though our perceptions are misguided, the most intelligent person in any room still has certain traits that are obvious once you see them. The obvious traits found in the most intelligent person in every room:  1. They listen more than they speak Branislav Nenin | Shutterstock One of the most admirable traits about intelligent people is their ability to leverage quietness for good. Whether it’s embracing awkward silences in conversations for a moment to reflect and breathe or making people feel heard by offering them space to speak, they’re not afraid to sit back and actively listen, rather than dominate the spotlight. Especially compared to overconfident people with an illusion of knowledge, who tend to be louder and more obnoxious, high-IQ people stand …

Graeme Sloan | Bloomberg | Getty Images A person who approached a White House security checkpoint and began firing at officers has died, according to federal officials. The U.S. Secret Service said in a statement late Saturday that, according to a preliminary investigation, the person approached a checkpoint shortly after 6 p.m. ET, “removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers.” Officers returned fire and hit the suspect, who was transported to an area hospital, where he later died, according to the Secret Service. A bystander was struck, but a law enforcement official said it wasn’t clear whether that person was struck by the suspect’s initial bullets or those fired subsequently by officers. Secret Service said none of its officers were injured, and that President Donald Trump — who was at the White House at the time — was not “impacted.” Evidence of the shooting was visible on a sidewalk just …

1 Person Has Died After Blast at New York City Shipyard That Also Injured 36 People, Officials Say.

NEW YORK (AP) — One person has died after a fire and two explosions Friday at a New York City shipyard, officials say. Officials said 36 people were injured, most of them firefighters and other first responders, and one civilian died at the scene. A firefighter and a fire marshal were inside the structure when a second explosion happened, and both were seriously injured by the shock wave from the blast. “This was a complex, fast-developing emergency situation,” New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a news conference Friday evening. Multiple people called the fire department around 3:30 p.m., reporting smoke and two workers trapped in the basement of a 150-foot by 150-foot (46 meters by 46 meters) metal structure at the back of the shipyard, Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. Firefighting and EMS crews were on the scene within six minutes. But shortly after they arrived, an explosion occurred, causing serious injuries to multiple fire department members and a couple of civilians, Bonsignore said — including one who died at the scene. Five firefighters …

If A Woman Has These 3 Rare Traits, She’s Likely The Kind Of Person Men Fall Hard & Fast For | Rhonda Cort

If you are currently settling in one area of your life, you settle in other areas too. You’ve probably heard the saying, “How you do anything is how you do everything.” I unapologetically invest in, expect, and am open to receiving the best from life, whether it’s traveling, eating, coaching, education, or relationships.  And no, I was not born into a rich family. My parents immigrated to the United States and made their way, and I did too. There’s no reason you can’t strive for the same for yourself; you deserve the best in life, too. Part of a great life is finding a great partner to share it with, but that won’t happen unless you have (and nurture) the rare traits that make you a worthy partner yourself, and when it comes to being a woman men fall hard for, the adage is true: you attract the energy you give off.  If a woman has these 3 rare traits, she’s likely the kind of person men fall hard for: 1. Self-respect It amazes me to hear women go down …
