My Thoughts about 'Geek Girls Don't Cry'- part one
Can I say this out loud? Wow! This book is incredible! Incredibly well-done! Great for all ages of girls & women. I got a copy of this book before my 31st birthday. Back in the Holidays of 2018, I saw some updates about that new book that Marisha Ray & Andrea Towers are doing something about how to be a strong & an amazing role model in real life just like the pop culture heroines. I’m like Marisha, I had been through so many gender stigmas about games & superheroes. I grew up with all kinds of outstanding things including NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), Power Rangers, X men, etc. I would like to share how I overcame my fears, trauma, isolation, grief, and adversity after I read each chapter from Geek Girls Don’t Cry. Ready? Here we go!

Nothing about the grieving process is easy. Nothing. Not even the sitting around and crying. Those tears are the most gut-wrenching tears many of us will ever shed and each one slashes through us as if our flesh were nothing more than a suggestion.

4 Ways to Strive under Stress and Boost your productivity
When it comes to stress, there is no one-size-fits-all definition.

Anxiety is a Thief
Anxiety is a thief. A thief of joy. A thief of sleep and fun nights out. A thief of promotions and jobs and errands. A thief of trips and friendships and relationships. Worst of all, it is a thief of self. I have lost my ability to trust myself, to take that gut feeling I have so depended on, and believe in it, to follow it. To know myself and who I am at any given moment. If I had ever felt this terror in my body before, I'd have left that place, person, situation immediately, no questions asked. If I had ever had these thoughts occupy my mind before I might have thought I’d gone insane. Now my anxious mind tells me the grocery store is the very scariest of places, a horror waiting to happen and I absolutely cannot go or something horrendous will occur.

How to relieve anxiety in daily life?
People are generally anxious nowadays. Some people get up in the morning to listen to the "60 seconds speech" sent by Luo Jisi, and after listening to it, they send it to the group for their friends to praise; on the way to work, they wear headphones and listen to the "5 minutes to listen to a book" in Himalaya, and secretly rejoice that they have grown a lot; when they go to work When I'm at work, I'm still busy, frantically brushing up the funny answers on Zhihu. Every day is full of arrangements for yourself, afraid that if you miss a little, you will lose a lot. These are all signs of anxiety.

Best Tips for Stress-Free Living
Stress is a response that triggers when you feel threatened and is an important signal to your body that something needs to change in order to keep you safe. In the short term, stress is not something that you want to avoid at all costs. Acute stress responses are perfectly healthy as they help us deal with challenging situations, such as a job interview or public speaking event. In these instances, stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol are released in small amounts while our body readies itself for action. However, if stress becomes chronic and we aren’t able to cope with it effectively, then its prolonged presence can have negative effects on our ability to function optimally. Chronic stress has even been shown to have an impact on our immune system and risk for developing diseases such as anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and arthritis.
