  1. Hell of a busy day today, an important video call this morning and an appointment later on so this run was a much needed one. One huge bonus though I got my confirmation email that my application to run Tokyo Legacy Half has been accepted #running #easyrunning #cathartic #polarrunning #runnersofmastodon

  3. "How you manage your disappointments defines whether you just heal, or whether you evolve!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Skiing has defined a large part of who I am and what I do.

    And I've certainly documented my history with the sport here!

    For over 25 years, the slopes have been my winter sanctuary. I’m usually the first one at the chairlift, chasing that perfect morning run and the "exuberance of the carve." It’s more than just a hobby; it’s a rhythm that connects me with friends and family, acting as the backdrop for some of my best memories.

    The sport has even found its way into my professional life as a futurist. I’ve often written about the "Powder Principle." It's a story about a young engineer who turned down a high-paying job because it would mess with his skiing time, which became a great way to explain shifting generational values. I’ve also explored the link between high performance and business speed, drawing lessons from sharing the slopes with Olympian Larisa Yurkiw. Then there are numerous trends and innovation pieces I have written about the sport as a way of explaining the future and opportunity.

    Skiing has always been a perfect metaphor for agility and looking ahead!
    Of course, this past season didn't go as planned. As many of you know, a fall on the ice left me with a spinal injury that sidelined me for the entire winter. It was a tough break - literally- but I’m making this my final word on the matter.

    Yesterday, during an early morning walk, I went over to the chairlift where I would usually start my day, at the sport where I would claim 'first chair.' It was tough to be there, but it was kind of a cathartic moment, and a big learning opportunity for me!

    It reminded me that dwelling on the "what ifs" doesn't help anyone, and
    frankly, I’m ready to move past the injury narrative and focus entirely on the recovery. 

    That brings me back to the idea of evolving. Instead of being bitter about the lost season, I’ve shifted my focus to what’s next. I’m trading the ski boots for golf clubs as I prepare for a tee time at St. Andrews in just 48 days, and I'm finding joy in new roles, like being a grandfather to Mason.

    Managing disappointment isn't just about healing the damage; it's about pivoting to new opportunities with a positive mindset!

  9. I should probably stop calling people "dick face" as a default.

    Also: "cunt" probably flies outta my mouth too easily.

    "Fuck off you fascist fuck," stays, though.

    How did we get here?

    Maybe I'm not yelling at my computer enough these days, and using up all my swear words.

  10. Found a new fun game to play: screaming at the top of your lungs while driving. I call it screammuting.

  12. #Cathartic feeling
    when someone confirms to you
    that you aren't nuts
    that your childhood wasn't
    typical of the others.

  13. The flow of tears had been #cathartic. It left her feeling raw.

    Her face still wet, she took a few careful steps into this vulnerable state. It would take a bit of getting used to the fact that there was nothing to hurt her.

    Now, she could feel her path, again.

  14. @RickiTarr I've never heard of The Great Attractor. However, these phrases came to me last night and I started cathartic crying.

    I am nothing
    Everything exists outside of me
    You are everything

    That's never happened before, and now I'm going to go look up The Great Attractor....

  15. ⬆️ @rayckeith

    >> Scott #Herndon, #Republican Senator from #Idaho, believes teens being raped by family members are "natural circumstances." He wants to remove #rape and #incest exceptions from the state #abortion ban, and says that it could be "#cathartic" for teens raped by their dads to have the baby.

    The following image is a perfect response to the above and is getting a lot of mileage today! Thanks @Mor696

  16. Well I've had the house to myself today so it's been quite therapeutic. I am somebody who is very content with their own company (OK I annoy myself but there's really not a lot of self these days). #life #cathartic #AloneTime

  18. After all the anti-lgbt laws, taking a #bible, ripping the pages out, and lighting it on fire was really #cathartic.

  19. I’ve had a fun* morning sorting through paperwork and throwing away** most of it. I don’t need credit card statements from 2016 or a car finance agreement from 2015 or mortgage application for a house I no longer live at, right? Strangely difficult to throw away old boxes of applications I still use… I might _need_ them, right? #Cathartic #NewStart

    * not really
    ** recycling

    The pain exploded in her chest in a #cathartic way. Only it was too much. Instead of swinging back to a #neutral state, she became numb and could not feel herself, anymore.

    How was she going to manage, now?

  22. #MastoPrompt #Cathartic #SmallPoems #Grief

    Cathartic tears
    Wept at your bed
    Are temporary relief
    For the aching void
    Left in my arms

  23. All day David kept thinking about the 1918 diary that had mysteriously appeared on his desk. Late that night, the newsroom and building quiet and dark, he resumed his reading, a #cathartic sensation this stopping, taking a breath, this reading of something from so long ago.

    He pushed away his questions: Who was the writer? Why was the diary put on my desk? What's in it? He just read, unaware that one of the entries would change his life.

  25. This journey has trundled on
    Through a landscape that never changes
    Crossing drifting sands
    Neither setting sun, nor crack of dawn
    To count the passage of time
    Until finally
    Death stands before the counter
    'I believe this is mine,' he says reaching out
    For the disposable white cup containing the black ichor that gives life.
    '#cathartic?'
    'Quite, it seems to have taken an age-'
    'Um, no the name in the cup, it's for Cath Artic.'
    'Oh... I'll keep waiting.'

  26. #MastoPrompt prompt: "#Cathartic"

    The hero has a tragic flaw,
    Defies divine and human law,
    And who he is has been mistaken.
    The actor’s job is to awaken
    Emotion in the audience,
    Elicit sympathy and sense
    Of deep relief from sudden reversal:
    There’s no catharsis in rehearsal.
