The Buteyko Method is based on the idea that over breathing or hyperventilating is bad for you. Contrary to popular belief expelling too much carbon dioxide is actually not good for you due to the Bhor Effect, which basically says that oxygen cant be released from haemoglobin to cells in our body without enough carbon dioxide. By slowing your breath you increase the amount of carbon dioxide in your body , which then allows better oxygenation of your cells due to the Bhor Effect.
For me, daily meditation has helped reduce my anxiety and has made me generally a more happier person. A book i recommend is The Mind Illuminated. It’s a step by step guide into meditation.
I’ve had multiple PRP injections on my ankle and it helped dramatically. I had chronic ankle pain and found it painful just walking. After 2-3 PRP injections it helped reduce the pain by 80%.

I have had three daughters who exhibit what was stated above about super hugs, clenching teeth with saying "i just looove you soooo much" and shaking....
I was aware of this as a positive thing forever. And its lovely as encouraging them to be emotionally engaged with the world is important part of existing.
I threatened to disown my parents when they were deciding to put my younger brother on ritalin when he was a child because they were being told he was hyper, adhd, etc. i told them they needed to stand up to bullshit medicating of him just because teachers said whatever... (no need to go into details, but the schools and teachers in the late 80s were victims of pharma snake oil bullshit, which is why i havent taken even as much as an aspirin or advil in 20 years)...
Children need to thrive, engage, be encouraged to explore all aspects of life, but we have architected our entire society to supress the natural human condition.
But ironically, as a cyberpunk nerd of the 80s i somehow thought that smart drugs and neurotropic enhancement agents were going to be the future hotness. Where is my damn eye implant?
EspeciLly in school where ADHD is overdiagnosed when the real problem is an environment with hardly any physical play and mostly sitting quietly for 7-8 hours.
I had a debate with someone where I argued that adderall and others are basically methamphetamines, one atom away from cocaine. Am I right?
Cocaine is a substantially different molecule, but yes, Adderal is amphetamine, and methamphetamine is effectively just an extra carbon atom (along with the extra hydrogens that go with it).
Ah man. That's wild. Mind me asking how old you were when your brother was getting that treatment and you rebelled? Or at least how big of an age gap there was between you? My brother and I are very close in age so I wouldn't have been able to make that informed of a decision if the same happened to him (I'd have been too young to argue my stance in any coherent manner).
That said: I'm waiting for my neurotropics and cybernetic implants as well...
We have expressions like "I love you so much, I could just eat you up." The term "rough housing" may be the closest we get, but I don't think it's generally understood to be associated with cute aggression.
There's also the trope "I'll hug him and squeeze him and rub his fur backwards and call him George" which is a reference to an old Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Speaking as someone with an average vocabulary: Not that I can think of.
After a quick look it seems as though it's known that some non-English languages do include singular words for this, but in English it's called "cute aggression", "playful aggression", or similar terms.
No, really. In English one meaning of the word "roughhousing" is this experience. If you ever have done this with children or with your parents as a kid, this play fighting/wrestling which is called "roughhousing", you know that the feeling is what is being described here. Puppies and dogs have very similar behavior and people can even roughhouse with their dogs and they love it. Roughhousing has definitely gone out of favor in current mainstream child raising circles, but some people think it is a good idea[1].
As a species, humans are hard-wired for roughhousing, so the body and mind are happy when we let it happen. According to studies in neuroscience, when the play circuits in the brains of mammals are activated, they feel joy.
> As a species, humans are hard-wired for roughhousing, so the body and mind are happy when we let it happen.
We may not, as a species, need to roughhouse as children anymore in the same way lions and tigers do since we no longer need to hunt or rely on our physical attack prowess to secure nourishment but we are definitely still hard wired to get joy and positive reinforcement from such behavior. Working with kids for any amount of time makes this all starkly clear.
Heck... Even being around drunk people enough makes it clear, haha!
