I recently got into needlepoint and loving it! Is it just me or do so many designs read as cheesy! It’s giving someone who has corny or cliché text signs in their house like "Live, Laugh, Love," "Gather," or "Home Sweet Home". They often feel old, basic or tacky. Are there any brands that have designs that don’t give off that vibe? Also, what are some fun things you can do when finishing your designs? Not looking to hang mine up or use as ornaments.

Probably a silly question, but how do I know how low to go when doing a squat with a bar and weights on the end? I find it harder to judge than I typical squat with a free weight.

Quick poll! Curious where you Bs met your partners. Little crowdsourcing ✨

Can someone help me shift my perspective of “fault”. When I think about manifestation, or try to manifest, or listen to manifestation strategies, why do I always feel like I’m at fault for something not working. Like it must not be working because I’m not aligned enough. Or I haven’t let go enough. Or I am not open enough. I always feel like I’m in the wrong about what I’m doing or how I’m doing it. I am a thoughtful person towards other people and very introspective. I move through the world in a positive way. I overthink, I hope for things to go positively. But with manifestation, I am always left feeling like I must be a “bad” something (i.e. thinker, person, etc) for things not going right. Can you help me shift my perspective or help me realign this attitude? I feel like I’m missing something.

Something I’ve been thinking about as I am only 5 months into a consistent gym journey and trying something new still feels daunting.

With weightlifting especially, you are meant to go to failure. Failure is the goal. So people *should* be failing every time they go to the gym. It helps me shift my perspective when I know everyone isn’t going in to their session and being perfect every time.

If the point is to fail (in a way), I don’t feel pressure to be perfect. If I can’t do all the reps, that’s ok. I can do what I can and because I failed, I know I tried my best.

Maybe this viewpoint can help someone else also!

Hi all! Anyone work with a stylist they’ve liked? I’m in desperate need of a refresh. Have an idea of what I want, but can’t seem to execute (I don’t love to shop). TY!

Why can I do 30 min on the stairmaster some days at a high level and then other days, 15 at a lower level is so hard for me? It makes me feel like I’m not doing enough.
