Last Weeks, Week Links (because I forgot to post)

I liked this list: 10 Things Every Single Needs To Know About Marriage I do feel like I was told a lot, if not all of these before I was married, at some point along the way (but maybe I was just lucky) It is still a good list and even if you know it, it's a nice reminder. 

Did I ever mention that I studied Social Sciences in college? It is true. I loved it. I love talking about why people do things and how the interact with other and why things we can do to be better people, better communicators, and better to those we love. To me it is one of the best things ever. I loved my classes, I loved studying this stuff; I love it. So I look for opportunities to still learn about and discuss that stuff. 

One way I do that is by blogging. I love explaining the different things I am doing and how I feel. I love talking about interactions with others and things that I have learned. I also write this blog to journal so that I can track progress and trends in my own life; so I can become better. And so I (and now my husband too) have records of what we are doing and how we are feeling. 

Another way that I hang recapture the social sciences is that I try to still study them. I try to watch documentaries or read articles I find and I try to occasionally watch some TED talks. Here are two I have enjoyed lately. 

Your body language shapes who you are 

The happy secret to better work (I especially love this one). One of my favorite lines from this is "the absence of disease is not health" 

Also I started to re-watch General Conference  One of the first things I do is listen to Priesthood Session and then I start to listen to those I remember but don't remember well. Or I listen to those talks that had a big impact on me so I can start to write down goals and ideas to work on.
