But while filming Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two in the United Kingdom, Tom Cruise is reportedly causing a different kind of problem — his choppers are so loud they're disrupting other productions shooting nearby.

The program cited an analysis in the journal PLOS ONE showing that "microbreaks" during the workday increase energy and decrease fatigue. This is the essence of the recovery methodology I've learned from research and personal experience, dating back to my days as a teenage lifeguard at Jones Beach in New York. We focus on practicing what I call resilience rituals and how they help us combat depletion, exhaustion and burnout while rebuilding resilience. The forces driving us toward burnout are chronic stress (driven in part by being constantly engaged online), multitasking and forgetting to tend to the needs of our bodies and minds. The results can be catastrophic for our health and wellbeing, but there's good news: Resilience rituals, if practice...

U.S. consumer confidence eased further in November amid persistent worries about the rising cost of living, a survey showed on Tuesday. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 100.2 this month from 102.2 in October. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index at 100.0. Still, the index remains above its COVID-19 pandemic lows. It places more emphasis on the labor market, which remains tight. Consumers’ 12-month inflation expectations increased to 7.2 per cent from 6.9 per cent last month. “Inflation expectations increased to their highest level since July, with both gas and food prices as the main culprits,” said Lynn Franco, senior director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board in Washington. “The combination of inflation and interest rate hikes will continue to pose challenges to confidence and economic growth into early 2023.” https://www.tausiinsider.com/u-s-consumer-confidence-slips-in-november-inflation-expectations-rise/?feed_id=33...

You're under a soft blanket with a fire roaring in the fireplace, snow is falling outside, you have a warm drink that may or may not have a few extra ingredients, and you're settling in to read a book you've been meaning to get to for months; instead, you're reading emails on your phone.
