Health in the Cracks: How to Build Better Habits Without Burning Out

Health in the Cracks:  How to Build Better Habits Without Burning Out You’ve probably seen the glossy to-do lists, the bullet journals adorned with pastel  highlighters, the 5 a.m. wake-ups that come with a smug caption. But if your calendar looks  more like a losing game of Tetris, those ideals are more guilt-trip than guide. For anyone  juggling deadlines, childcare, emails at midnight, and maybe even a sliver of a social life,  health can feel like a luxury item—something reserved for people with spare time and  matching gym sets. Still, your habits are quietly writing your future, and yes, they can be  reshaped without requiring a life reboot. It’s about weaving wellness into your existing  routine, not bulldozing your schedule to fit it. Stack Small Wins Where They Already Belong You don’t need to find extra time; you need to sneak habits into the time you already use. That’s where habit stacking comes in.

10 MOST ENDANGERED BEAUTIFUL SPECIES!



According to  WORLD WILDLIFE FEDERATION, there are 10 species that are extremely endangered. The WWF is an organization dedicated to protecting the natural habitat of many species. Endangered is another way of saying that certain species are on the verge of becoming non-existent in our world. There are several reason why this may happen. The very first cause is habitat destruction. Many humans are destroying the precious land that these animals need to survive. Although change is a natural part of life, many of these species are not equipped to handle the speed of change that occurs. There is a major difference between global change and humans coming along to destroy the habitats that these animals need to thrive on. (Also, historically, certain animals that possessed beautiful furs were killed for them).  Also, the soil begins to lack the necessary nutrients and many of the forests have been cut down or destroyed by wild fires. When humans access the land of these species, they often bring pollution and disease that did not exist before. Currently, rabies is destroying the natural habitats in South Africa. 

Another way species become endangered is by other strange animals entering into their habitat that naturally do not belong there. This occurs because many animals migrate to different regions after their habitat is destroyed. As a result, the animals that invade are extremely harmful to the animals that are currently living there. The competition for food becomes overwhelming and animals begin to prey on any type of food they can get. 

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Today a big part of helping these endangered species has been protecting their land through natural reserves and wilderness parks. These are specialized parks that people can visit but they are not allowed to kill, injure or build a home within these areas. Visiting these areas and learning about the natural habitats of certain species allows the chance to change the way people think and understand about other species that exist. A lot of people lack the important knowledge and many do not recognize that their behavior is destructive. The WWF organization is encouraging people to leave some bushes and trees around their neighborhood. These are generally areas that certain species live in. Some people are going as far as developing groups to get rid of weeds and replanting certain plants, in hopes that some of the natives will return.
