TODAY'S LEARNING
Finding Your Emotional Superpowers with DBT

Picture this: you’re a superhero in training, learning how to manage overwhelming feelings with grace (and maybe a little dash of flair). That’s essentially what Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can do—train you to handle emotions like a pro. Don’t worry, no spandex required!

What’s the Deal with DBT?

DBT is short for Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a fancy term for a set of tools proven to help you manage tough emotions and navigate life’s obstacles. It’s like getting a superhero toolkit filled with gadgets designed for real-life challenges, not just comic-book villains.

Emotional Regulation: Taming the Wild

Ever had your emotions spiral out of control, like a tornado of anger or a wave of sadness? DBT teaches you skills to regulate (a.k.a. tame) these emotional storms before they wreak havoc. You’ll learn how to recognize triggers, pause before reacting, and make choices that feel more balanced—and less like a meltdown.

Mindfulness: The Secret Weapon

One of the coolest DBT skills is mindfulness. Think of it as your personal “calm down” button whenever thoughts start racing. By focusing on the present moment—breathing, noticing sensations—you become more aware of what’s really going on. Mindfulness helps you respond to life’s curveballs with a sense of clarity instead of pure panic.

Distress Tolerance: Your Emotional First Aid

Sometimes, big emotions strike faster than a lightning bolt. That’s where distress tolerance swoops in to save the day! These skills are about surviving intense feelings without making the situation worse. From the ice-cube trick (holding an ice cube to ground yourself) to the 5-4-3-2-1 technique (naming five things you see, four you can touch, etc.), you learn quick fixes to stop emotional pain in its tracks.

Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building Better Bonds

A superhero team is only as good as its ability to get along. Interpersonal effectiveness teaches you how to set boundaries, ask for what you need, and nurture healthy relationships. You’ll communicate with confidence, minimize drama, and keep your squad strong.

Embracing Your Emotional Freedom

Achieving emotional freedom with DBT isn’t about never feeling upset or stressed. It’s about understanding your emotions, navigating them skillfully, and making choices that lead to a happier, more balanced life. So go ahead, give DBT a try and unlock your hidden superpowers—you’ll be your own hero before you know it!

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

Oldest Woman in China Reaches 124 with Pumpkin Lard Porridge and a Positive Outlook

A Chinese woman recently celebrated her 124th Birthday, according to local civic documentation.

Crediting her longevity to a “love of lard” and an optimistic personality, her big day was celebrated on January 1st in her home of Nanchong city amid a horde of relatives.

Whether or not Qiu Chaishi really was born in 1901, she can recount her childhood growing up during the Qing Dynasty, the last royal dynasty in Chinese history which began in 1644 and ended in 1911.

Her family says she is still witty and articulate, despite losing a bit of eyesight after she turned 100. Chaishi currently enjoys the company of family members 5 generations from herself, living with her 60-year-old granddaughter Taohua.

In her youth, she was famed for her sharp accounting skills and physical strength that allowed her to work the plow and stack stones. Even as a ‘dodecagenarian,’ she can walk up and down stairs, light fires, feed geese, and cook.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Ayurveda Recipes: Beet Soup with Lemon Juice & Parsley

Beets, grapefruit and dandelion are the three spring cleanse foods. Beets thin and support the flow of bile which decongests the liver. Beets also support the blood and have a laxative cleansing effect. Lemon juice is a powerful cholagogue that also flushes bile and empties the gall bladder. Parsley is a digestive and diuretic.

Ingredients

1/4 c CELERY STALK
1/4 c PARSLEY (FRESH)
1 tbsp SUNFLOWER OIL
2 c BEETS
1/2 tsp CUMIN
1/2 whole LEMON
1/4 tsp SALT (MINERAL SALT)
1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions

Dice beets and celery and add them to a large pot. Add salt and lemon juice. Add water until vegetables are submerged and bring to a boil. In a separate pan, sautee cumin seeds in oil and add to the soup, cooking until beets are soft. Chop fresh parsely and garnish over the top.
