The unfinished guide to being a human.
Once upon a time some bright spark decided to put his p in a v and thus set off a chemical reaction causing your brains to think a little differently than everyone else’s, leaving you feeling a little disconnected and sometimes confused as to how to get by in this day and age.
This blog post might eventually become a book! Hopefully… maybe…
It might be a good idea to base your existence on this length of text, on the other hand it might not be. When I was a small human I had a theory that a more advanced race had effectively invented the human race for some purpose but all trace of their existence had disappeared over the eons except in a secure bunker somewhere which we might discover like the tombs of an Egyptian Pharaoh, inside of which there would be a instruction manual on how to be human. Unfortunately to date nothing like this has ever been discovered
Physical
You should make sure to exercise on a regular basis. The famous Tim Minchin once stated in a speech that exercise has an inverse correlation between depression and physical exercise. A quick Google search would return a journal article supporting his claims and provides insight into what conditions this might happen under. For humans with a high risk of depression, regular exercise will make sure that increased symptoms are kept at bay.
Aside from the mental benefits, regular exercise (by regular exercise I mean doing 30-60 minutes of physical activity at least 3 times a week) will help keep your body in shape. Being in shape basically means not being obese or horrifically thin. Who knows, maybe being obese by today’s standards will be considered quite attractive by the time you’re reading this as it once was a couple of hundred years ago.
Mental
A key point to keep in mind throughout your life is that the human brain is still growing and learning to come to terms with itself for the first 25 years or so. This happens at a great rate sometimes during one’s life, markedly around 2 years of age for a short while and during puberty. Often this great rate of change causes a lot of confusion for young humans and frustration in older humans that have remarkably forgotten what it was like at that fragile age. This is not to say that the general experience cannot be a pleasant one. A little understanding goes a long way.
Make sure to mentally exercise.
Keeping organised
