3 things to cultivate meaning<\/strong>
\nLast year, I made a shopping list of\u00a0everything that made me happy in 2020<\/a>. This year I have been trying to be less of a consumer, so I only have three things that I would recommend as gifts for the holidays. Each one helps to cultivate purpose and gratitude in my life, and they are all priced under $20. The three things are\u00a0Moon List Workbooks<\/a>,\u00a0Blessing Cards<\/a>\u00a0and Wall Calendars, like\u00a0this one<\/a>. For the full list, visit:\u00a0https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/2021-holiday-gift-guide-claudias-picks<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n

How to identify that light in the sky<\/strong>
\nHere is a \u201csometimes humorous, but mostly accurate\u201d chart of\u00a0how to identify that light in the sky<\/a>. In Sedona, Arizona, I went on a\u00a0UFO tour<\/a>\u00a0where the guides taught us how to identify all the various lights we see in the sky. I wore night vision goggles and saw a lot of non-blinking lights moving fast and veering off straight paths. We had lasers that we used to point them out (never directly at). One even beamed back brightly at us in response.\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Inhale twice to calm down<\/strong>
\nStanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman says\u00a0double inhaling<\/a>\u00a0is \u201cthe fastest way that I\u2019m aware of \u2014 that\u2019s anchored in real known biology to calm oneself down \u2014 is an inhale through the nose, and then\u00a0another inhale at the top.\u201d \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Netflix for Apps<\/strong>
\nThink of Setapp like Netflix for Macintosh applications. For a monthly subscription fee, you get access to 210+ curated apps. I\u2019ve recommended Setapp here before, but they have a few new apps I find myself using every day that I want to mention:\u00a0Rocket Typist<\/a>,\u00a0Paste<\/a>, and\u00a0TextSniper<\/a>. Setapp is usually $10 a month, but\u00a0here\u2019s a link to get a year for $69<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Streaming rock concert<\/strong>
\nI have uncool musical tastes. I love pop music; the more poppy the better. My favorite pop rock band is the uncool Coldplay. I also don\u2019t like to go to concerts but I love to watch recorded concerts on a screen, which I find much better than being there. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Coldplay\u2019s very recent concert and light show in Seattle (Live from Climate Pledge Arena<\/a>), now streaming on Amazon. It\u2019s a non-stop 90 minutes. If you are a fan, this will fulfill; if you want an introduction, this will do it; if you are a hater, hush.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
