Never underestimate the effect that made by an ultra-light fanny pack. You can easily have a lightweight waist bag on and even forget it is there, which allows you to go faster and further on your journey or sports. One of the main reasons that the following packs are recommended is their ultra-light weight.

• Size

Size depends on what you carry along when travelling or exercising. But generally speaking, a compactly sized fanny pack is much convenient than large ones on the trip.

• Material

From head to toe, material really influences the decision one picks. Durable and wear resistant material is essential for most outdoor gears, there is no exception for a waist bag. There are different materials that range from leather, nylon, linen and polyester, spandex just captures a few. Material choosing according to your preference and the features of waist bags.

• Compartment

A humanized designed fanny pack should have 2 separate compartments at least, for keys and phone are the necessities while you go out, you certainly don’t want your phone screen to be scratched by the keys, right? So compartments are necessary for not only keeping items organized, but also for full protection.

• Waist Belt

An adjustable waist belt determines the comfort of a waist bag to a great extent, because the waistline is varied from one to another, an adjustable waist belt allows you to take on/off the bag easily and fits for your waist closely.

• Price

Price is actually a matter of personal preference, it is a result of a comprehensive considering including material, functions, brand, etc. Make sure you choose an affordable and your ideal waist bag.

Life’s challenges force us to harden up. Relationships, work, children, family and finances all combine to put us under a lot of pressure and the way we are expected to deal with these is to develop resilience and to some extent indifference. We are required to be tough.

To teach our kids to be tough and with each blow life delivers to knock us down, we need to get up, dust ourselves off and pick up where we left off. The more times we start again, the colder and more jaded we become.

What you truly desire. Imagine what you could

Some people believe that showing tough love is an important way to ensure that their children are able to take care of themselves in the future. If you were the recipient of this approach on a regular basis, you might even believe that this has had a positive impact on your life.

Perhaps what’s needed is a shift in attitude. To become stronger and resistant to the tribulations of life, maybe the answer is that we need to become softer not tougher. Maybe what the world needs is more nurture.

If you don’t know much about your subscribers, you could consider running a campaign asking them for more details through a simple preference centre. You may wish to consider offering an incentive or freebie in exchange for this information, which will help boost your response rates.

All parents occasionally pick on their children, but when the so-called jokes become commonplace, this can be a huge problem. You do not need to accept this type of behavior just because your parent has always joked about something such as your height or weight.

A great place to start is with a minimal template and if you’re looking for a quick fix, check out Dynamite – it’s a great example of how an elegant design and the use of whitespace can be highly effective in highlighting what you are promoting.

Tips For Increasing Employee Motivation

Without injuring others or placing your own life in danger, it’s healthy to let go sometimes. You don’t have to be irresponsible to release responsibility and embrace freedom for a change. When life is becoming too burdensome and the weight of obligation and duty seems suffocating, do something that allows you to release yourself from what can feel like a prison.

It’s easy to forget that your subscribers are people with likes and dislikes (not just leads). Firstly, always watch your open, CTR, unsubscribe and complaint rates. That’s the fast way to gauge whether your email was engaging or not. When appropriate, use what personalisation you have at your disposal.

If you want to take it to the next level and gauge subscriber sentiment, you could generate feedback by adding a simple “Did you find this email useful?” line in your footer that leads subscribers to a survey. Keep it short and concise though; you’re not after War and Peace.

If a survey seems like too much commitment, check out this fun widget. You never know, this feedback may just generate the next idea that takes your email program to the next level.

Most email service providers have inbuilt mobile optimized templates, but if yours doesn’t/you want something custom and have budget to spare, consider hiring an email marketing developer on Envato Studio or Upwork. Just ensure you do you research and ask for previous work examples before you hire.

Did you grow up believing that your parent was physically or emotionally abusive to you because you deserved it? If so, you may still be justifying the terrible behavior of others at your own expense.

Get In Touch With Emotions

Discover how you really feel about things. It’s easier said than done. Instead of maintaining the status quo and keeping the peace.

Instead of following the herd and making the predictable and reliable decisions that you are expected to make, ask yourself.

What you truly desire. Imagine what you could accomplish, if failing wasn’t an option.If there was no fear of being judged and no adverse consequences.

If there was no fear of being judged and no adverse consequences reliable decisions.

Learning to acknowledge and express our emotions freely may seem like weakness in a culture that requires us to be tough, but in actual fact it takes a strength far more valuable and honorable than living in denial.

• Use the “Spaced Repetition” technique
• Try the “Pinch Yourself” hack
• Schedule learning sessions before bedtime
• Study the content, not the language

This technique was introduced by Maneesh Sethi, a frequent traveler who mastered four foreign languages as an adult. His approach was based on the fact that negative stimuli massively boost self-improvement.

Soft is the new hard

When you think that a situation requires you to be tough, to stiffen your upper lip and puff out your chest in the face of something difficult or even traumatic, consider if you have another option. Maybe for a change it’s time to wallow in the tragedy of your experience and really feel what it is to be human. Striving for mental toughness may close you off to a world of emotional development and progress that you may otherwise live through if you let yourself open up for a change.

How you can use this for language learning?

• Get a set of flashcards for memorizing vocabulary or grammar.
• Master the hard pinch (it should be quite hard) to activate your body’s threat response.
• Review a category of flash cards (such as adjectives or group of words). Don’t pinch yourself at this stage.
• Review the same category, now adding the pinch for each vocabulary word. Spend some time studying the card before moving to the next one.

Softening your perspective towards yourself and others; allowing yourself to experience tenderness and nurturing instead may seem counterproductive, but in the long run, may reap more abundant rewards.

Tough is just bravado. Softening up is a new normal you should try.

You may feel sadness more intensely, or anger. Disappointment, fear, grief. The flip side is you may discover joy like you’ve never allowed yourself to feel before. You may laugh harder, feel more inspired, encounter wonder and awe at things you previously took for granted.

Wild swimming is becoming one of the most popular outdoor sports worldwide, as more and more people discover the exhilaration of reconnecting with nature by swimming in rivers, disused quarries and lakes. it is completely different from indoor swimming for its site, risk and freedom. Actually, wild swimming is less dangerous than many other watersports and the risks can be minimized by taking a few common-sense precautions as followings:

• 1. Pay Attention to the Water Temperature

As one man’s meat is another man’s poison, don’t start off in cold water rushed but once you gain experience, pay particular consideration to the water temperature is the first vital step before jumping in the water. Generally speaking, it is warm in 1 meter on the surface, while cold in the deep. You can test the water temperature by a thermometer or just by splashing some water on your body or let your feet drench in the water to feel if it is proper for you.

• 2. Prepare Everything Well

Wild swimming usually needs more preparations for it is outdoors, the hot sunshine and secluded dangers in the water must be taken into consideration. So basic items you need to take include sunscreen, a swimming cap (or two if it’s really cold), a mask or a pair of swimming goggles, wetsuit gloves/booties, swimming bag for dry and wet clothes, etc.

• 3. Go with Someone Else

You’d better not go wild swimming alone, for wild swimming is unlike indoor swimming, there is no lifeguard or administrator, a companion is might be your savior in the emergency.

• 4. Be Careful While Entering the Water

Many of the best wild swimming spots have steep cliffs and slippery rocks near the water, so never run on wet rocks. Jumping into water from a height also poses risks, for you may not know the depth of the water, there could be hidden obstructions like mud, sharp rocks and aquatic plants just beneath the surface and the water may be much colder than you expect.

• 5. Warm Up Slowly

Before entering the water, you must do some warm-up exercises, such as stretching your arms, pressing your legs and expanding your chest. You’d better stimulating your body by water before entering the water, which will help the body adapt quickly in the water and avoid leg cramping.

• 6. Be Seen

Wild swimming is not only a challenge for physical power and swimming skills but also a requirement for stable mentality. It is easy to reach to the poolside in an indoor swimming pool, but hard for wild swimming. So, unless you have the ability to swim over 400 meters easily, please do not swim too far. Keep you to be seen by other people, so it will be much safer if you are in danger.

• 7. Do Not Swim While Sweating

Most hikers may think that it is cool to swim in a river or lake after vigorous exercise. However, our bodies will adjust the body temperature by sweating on hot days, while the hotter, the sweating pores are bigger. So, it is harmful to your body when jumping into cold water just after sweating. You’d better have some cold drink and calm down, and then start your wild swimming.

• 8. Make a Smooth Exit

Don’t ruin a good swim by stopping short and breast-stroking to the exit. Know where the swim exit marker is located, swim with purpose towards it, and don’t stop until your fingers graze the lake bottom. Swim one or two more strokes until you can push yourself up with both arms, then stand up. Give yourself a second to adjust to the change from horizontal to vertical, and exit the water running

There is no doubt that hiking is the best way to feel and close to nature, and a lot of best hikes are in North America, so if you have a hiking plan recently, try to read this post before the journey, the top 8 hiking routes in North America may be a reference for your next trip.

• Appalachian Trail, East Coast United States

The 2200-mile-long trail keeps on changing from time to time, as more and more trails are added. It passes through the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia. You can pick out a trail from whatever state is near you or whichever trail you think is suitable as per your taste. It is mostly wilderness, but there are some cross rivers, roads, and traverse towns down the path too.

• Mount Temple, South Canada

This is one of the easiest mountains with the height of 3,400 meters (11,000ft) in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. It is also the most frequently climbed mountain peak. Due to the relatively low altitude change of approximately 1,600 meters (5,250 ft), the summit can be reached in one day. Although it sounds so easy to reach, the mountain is still a giant that dominates the landscape in the west of Banff National Park. It may require some medium to high-intensity climbing even if the Mount Temple is labeled with “simple”.

• Mount Rainier, Washington

At the end of this route is Camp Muir in the snowy Mount Rainier. This is one of the most popular camps here, located at an altitude of 7,000 feet (about 2130 meters), which is the altitude that most people can afford without carrying mountaineering equipment. Looking into the distance, it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and you can even see the city of Seattle.

• Mount Healy Overlook Trek, Alaska

Mount Healy is one of Alaska’s best walking mountains. It’s easy to hike and you don’t need much equipment or technical skill. The Overlook Trail starts out in a thick forest, then you ascend to alpine tundra, which is full of moss, lichen and wildflowers. The trail comes to a lookout that gives you views over the valley and the ridges that surround it. Hardcore hikers can walk another 2 miles to get to the top of the mountain.

• Yosemite, California

Yosemite National Park is one of California’s most amazing landscapes. This unique place features about 1,200 square miles of sheer awe including daunting cliffs, towering waterfalls, and samples of very strange rock designs in the United States. Here is where you’ll get fascinating landmarks such as the Half Dome and El Captain, together with excellent trails of hiking as you explore the natural monuments. It is welcoming and friendly, even for the hikers who are inexperienced. Keep in mind that it has more than 750miles of trails, and can take ages to cover, so you should ask the park ranger, which trail is recommended for you at your time of visit. The best time to visit Yosemite is March and May.

• Lake Tahoe, California

The beautiful Lake Tahoe in California is America’s treasure and outdoor entertainment center. Lake Tahoe is known for its clear water and clean air, it is the largest mountain lake in North America and the second deepest lake in the United States. It is truly a destination for all seasons for it doesn’t get too hot or wet. In summer there are many water sports like sailing, paddle surfing and boating and few mosquitoes here. I promise you will fall in love with the golden autumn and the world-class ski resort in winter here!

• West Maroon Creek Trail, Colorado

This stunning trail runs deep into the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness near Aspen. It begins at Maroon Lake and runs 1.5 miles to Crater Lake. From here, head left and the crowds will thin as it follows West Maroon Creek. This is more of a river than a creek in early summer, with a potentially hazardous crossing after three miles. Campsites can be found across the creek and in the basin above, as the trail climbs steeply to timberline. The final push to the 12,500-foot summit gains 1,000 feet of elevation in one mile. Once there, soak in the views of the valley you ascended and the majestic Elk Mountains. Hikers can continue another four miles to a trailhead in Schofield Park and then onto Crested Butte, provided they arranged for a ride or don’t mind hitchhiking.

• John Muir Trail, California

You don’t have to trek all 211 miles of the John Muir trail to experience the rare beauty of this path through the High Sierra backcountry, known as the finest mountain scenery in the U.S. The trail begins in the Yosemite Valley, passing through the Ansel Adams Wildernesses, Devil’s Postpile National Monument, and Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks before ending at Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States at 14,497 feet. Pick a park you’ve always wanted to see and plan for a day hike.

Material

WATERFLY waterproof socks come with 3 layers durable construction, including a nylon exterior layer (98% nylon + 2% rubber), a waterproof membrane and a wool interior layer (35% merino wool + 65% nylon), all these make it breathable, warm and durable.

Like the ordinary winter socks, the outside layer of this waterproof sock is soft and smooth, you can’t distinguish it with regular socks by touching the surface and its appearance; the middle waterproof membrane is the key layer for waterproof; while the inner layer is soft merino which helps wick away sweat and prevents smells caused by bacteria.

Waterproof Performance

Honestly, I was actually sceptical about its waterproof performance before I testing it. Before the test, I prepared a basin of water, several pieces of tissues, a pair of ordinary winter socks and WATERFLY waterproof socks.

I wore the ordinary winter sock on my left hand and WATERFLY waterproof socks on the right hand, then let both hands immerse in the water, the ordinary sock got wet immediately, after 30 seconds, my left hand was also totally wet when I took off the sock; after 10 minutes, I took off WATERFLY waterproof sock and found my right hand was completely dry without any water permeating in.

Still I want to see how long does the waterproof socks last to proof water, so I put the tissues in the waterproof sock and immersed it in the water again. After 72 hours, I took out tissues in the sock and found the tissues were totally dry! Incredible, right? Even I didn’t wear these waterproof socks for any long-last sports, you can see in this test, WATERFLY waterproof socks can proof water for a long time, which are absolutely enough for outdoor sports or hiking.

What I have to mention here is that these waterproof socks are actually waterproof below the logo part, which means that the neck part of the socks is not waterproof. But it doesn’t matter, for WATERFLY waterproof socks have enough long ankle part for most applications.

Workmanship

What impressed me most at the first sight is the perfect workmanship. I promise you can’t find any needless thread on the socks. All the outside is ultra smooth and delicate. It is absolutely one of the most decent gifts for hiking friends or relatives.

Breathability

Breathability of WATERFLY waterproof socks is remarkably good, as long as the weather isn’t too warm. I wore them at sub-5°C temperatures and found they were able to keep my feet cool and relatively dry – certainly dryer than I’ve found by wearing shoe covers in similar conditions.

When I pull the sock transversely, numerous tiny holes can be seen clearly, so even with 3 layers, WATERFLY waterproof socks are extremely breathable. Of course, you can feel its air permeability when it is actually taken on.

Fit & Comfort

With 4 sizes and 5 optional colors, WATERFLY waterproof socks cater to various sports like running, hiking, cycling, traveling, golf, etc. As well as suitable for different groups (males and females).
