5 secrets to becoming a super attractor like Gabby Bernstein
September 27, 2018 at 06:40PM When was the last time you thought about what you really wanted? I’m not talking about a matcha latte or new leggings (don’t get me wrong, those are both great), but about the ambitions you might be afraid to share or the needs you have a hard time saying out loud. Positive vibes guru, number one New York Times best-selling author, and Well+Good Council member Gabby Bernstein says realizing your desires could be as simple as—somewhat counterintuitively—letting go. I’m going to say something that might sound pretty radical: Life is meant to feel good. We are meant to experience joy and serve the world in profound ways. As a spiritual teacher, I’m committed to helping you attract what you desire and live a miraculous life. I’m committed to guiding you to wake up to your Super Attractor power! When you’re able to effortlessly align with the loving energy of the universe and manifest the life you want, you are a Super Attractor. The best part: We all have the capacity to be Super Attractors. To begin your journey, follow these five principles—and keep reading to learn how you can go even deeper with me. Graphics by Abby Maker for Well+Good 1. The universe always says yes. Every thought you have is an energetic message. The universe is always listening, and it always says yes. So you will receive whatever you put out—whether you want it or not. To attract what you desire, you first need to clean up your energetic requests. There’s a
Use this Zara hack to find clothes that look more expensive than they are
September 27, 2018 at 03:55PM It’s easy to lose hours of your life scrolling through Zara’s online offerings. What’s hard is being able to tell what’s actually going to look good once you get it home. (Kinda like Tinder, no?) Worst case scenario: Something that looked like a million bucks online actually looks like the price you paid for it IRL. But, how good does it feel when someone asks you whether your jacket is designer, when you know you spent less than the cost of a boutique fitness class? Items made from natural materials tend to be the ones that elicit unsolicited compliments. Think: 100-percent cotton denim, linen, and leather goods. They’re a higher quality than their synthetic counterparts. They’re also more durable—something you can’t say about most fast-fashion finds. Zara regularly stocks clothing in this category. (Even if it keeps it on the DL.) And it does so for a lot less than its up-market competitors. The key to finding them is to skip the nav and head straight for the search field when you open the site in your browser. Once there, type in “100 percent linen.” Same goes for denim or leather. A recent search returned a red, snakeskin embossed leather belt for $40. Another, a classic black denim mini ($36) you could pair with cozy sweaters now and still pull out next spring. It’s a steal, which is precisely the point. If a bargain feels too good to be true, double check its composition and care
Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony showed that vulnerability is actually a superpower
September 27, 2018 at 03:08PM If you’re familiar with BrenĂ© Brown, you’ve heard the phrase “vulnerability is strength.” The University of Houston professor became a TED Talk sensation in 2010 by talking about the power of vulnerability and the role shame plays in toxic relationships, self-destructive behavior, and more. Full disclosure: I am a BrenĂ© super fan. But the psychological theory that vulnerability can actually be a superpower never really sat right with me. When you’re vulnerable, you’re giving information that can be used against you later. The more you let people in, the more they can hurt you. The way I saw it, vulnerability is something you share with those you are intimate with: the people you love, the people you trust deeply. And even then, there’s risk. But today, as I watched Christine Blasey Ford, PhD, testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I got it. At least, I started to. “Helpful.” That’s the word that pierced my heart every time Dr. Ford uttered it, as eyes around the world focused intently on her. “Helpful.” That’s the word that pierced my heart every time Dr. Ford uttered it, as eyes around the world focused intently on her. As she recounted the story of her encounter with Judge Brett Kavanaugh at a high school party in the early ’80s—in which she alleges he sexually assaulted her, an accusation he tearfully denied during his testimony later in the day—she had every right to be full of rage. But she wasn’t. (If she
5 therapist-approved lifestyle changes you can make to help ease symptoms of depression
September 27, 2018 at 12:46PM If you’ve ever struggled with depression, you know how debilitating it can be. It’s like a hazy cloud has settled over all the things that once made you happy, and simple acts like brushing your hair or taking a shower can feel like next-to-impossible chores. Depression is a serious mental health issue, and you should always seek professional help if you’re suffering from it, especially for a prolonged period of time. And while tried-and-true treatment methods like talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and antidepressants can be incredibly helpful, there are also holistic treatments for depression that can make a world of difference in your road to healing. Read on for lifestyle shifts you can institute today to help treat your depression holistically. 1. Give your gut a makeover A wide body of research has found that if we’re not nourishing our gut health, our mood will suffer. As New York-based therapist Alison Stone, MSW, points out, our gut is practically our “second brain.” “In addition to affecting our dopamine and GABA production [‘happy chemicals’ needed for healthy brain functioning] it’s estimated that the gut is responsible for up to 90 percent of the body’s serotonin production,” she explains. “Since inflammation has been linked to depression, following an anti-inflammatory diet is an important step in creating a happy, healthy gut” and mind. To do this, start by reducing your sugar intake, ditching the processed foods, and (sorry)—eliminating alcohol. 2. Take a break from social media While social
Already a zodiac wiz? Calculate your numerology base numbers to learn what makes you tick
September 27, 2018 at 10:57AM “Weird question, but when’s your birthday?” That’s something I always ask when I’m chatting up someone new— whether it’s a work acquaintance, a friend of a friend, or a potential love interest—in order to size them up based on their sun sign. Are they, say, a neat-freak Virgo or a wild-child Sagittarius? But as I recently found out, there’s more woo-woo wisdom to glean from someone’s DOB than their zodiac traits alone: enter numerology meanings. The info can also illuminate your object of interest’s personal numerology, a system not unlike astrology that’s believed to give insight into one’s personality and life path. By adding up the digits in the month, day, and year you were born—and the numbers that correspond to the letters in your name—numerology believers feel you can gain a deeper understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, and a sense of what you’re on here to achieve on the planet. The same applies for gathering the numerology details about those around you. “I feel like numerology has made me a lot more sensitive to other peoples’ needs,” says Novalee Wilder, a certified numerologist based in New York City. “And if you want to stalk your crushes or your coworkers, it’s a fun way to start.” (Okay, now I’m listening.) There are a few different schools of thought regarding numerology, each one slightly different from the next. She personally trained in the Chaldean tradition and considers it her go-to when working with clients it because
All the truly bad people you know share this personality trait
September 27, 2018 at 10:41AM With Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Bill Cosby making headlines this week—both regarding issues of sexual assault (Kavanaugh’s alleged, Cosby’s convicted)—it’s probable you’ve heard at least one person mutter, “What an awful person.” These men have become two of the most hated people in America, and new research shows there’s a scientific reason why it seems like they share a key personality trait: the ability to pursue their own interests singularly, without regard for others. According to the results of a series of studies (that included more than 2,500 participants) published in the journal Psychological Review, researchers have discerned a common thread shared by those who have dark personality traits (including narcissism, psychopathy, egoism, sadism, self-interest, and spitefulness). This “dark core” or D-factor, as the authors are calling it, is defined in the paper as “the general tendency to maximize one’s individual utility—disregarding, accepting, or malevolently provoking disutility for others—accompanied by beliefs that serve as justifications.” Which translates to, being selfish without giving a s**t, to the extent that you might even hurt people for fun. “The D-factor indicates how likely a person is to engage in behavior associated with one or more of these dark traits.” —Ingo Zettler, professor of psychology “The D-factor indicates how likely a person is to engage in behavior associated with one or more of these dark traits [narcissism, et al.],” said study author Ingo Zettler, professor of psychology at the University of Copenhagen, in a press release. And if a person is prone
