Wow! 😮 Really? This is the new #australis #aussies

Found a great YouTube channel. 👍 Channel name: The Upgrade with Makai Elías Calles Ironically listened to this one first. 🤣😂 Description of video from YouTube: Your brain doesn't care whether words arrive through your eyes or your ears, until suddenly it does. Somewhere on your phone right now, there's a half-finished audiobook and a podcast queue 20 episodes deep. Hours of "reading" you count as real. Or maybe you're in the other camp, the one that calls audiobooks cheating and doubts that listeners are engaging with the work at all. Both camps are partly right and partly wrong, and they go wrong in the same spot; that overlap is what makes the question worth a video. I went looking for a clean verdict on whether listening beats reading. I found something more useful. What your brain does with an audiobook hinges on one variable most people never think about, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. By the end, you'll know which format to reach for, when, and why.

Husband and I turned off all our phones 11:30 am to 1:30pm for this (see link). State governments already have their own warning systems in place. Federal government decided to put their own system in place for a nationwide "service". Tin foil hat firmly on my head for this one. Who knows what they are testing or collecting. My level of trust in anything government is as good as down to zero. 😳🤣🧡 https://www.ausalert.gov.au

Life Power Tip Cultivate the ability to speak your mind. When you speak your truth, others know it, just like you can hear when the truth is being spoken. Think about all the people to whom you are most attracted and whom you love to hang out with, I think that you will find that they are people who say how you really feel about something and always in a way that is appropriate and constructive. Action Get a bird feeder or water bath for your garden. Challenge Do an evaluation of your past week and create a new rule to live by from that.
