What has your experience been with the Calm app? Would you recommend the paid subscription? Plan to use it for managing anxiety but looks like they also cover relationships, self esteem etc.

I have ~900k ultimate rewards points and am hoping to use them to take my wife and <6 month old somewhere for a week before Xmas. Because of the baby/covid we’re not too keen in traditional hotels and/or anything that offers higher risk. I’m also sure most hotels wouldn’t want a young baby at their establishment anyway. Any point experts know how to use the UR points to book a house (like on Airbnb or VRBO) but still max that 1.5x benefit for booking travel with UR? Driving distance from nyc

Help. I’m training for a marathon and I’ve found that during longer runs (both inside and outside) I’m experiencing a ton of mucus / drainage in my throat that I don’t experience day to day....

Starting an anti-depressant for the first time in my life tomorrow, after struggling with depression for my entire life (every second of all 37 years.) I was so against medication (due to family history of addiction) but I read so many positive comments on this bowl about how they’ve been life changing for people. I’m really, really optimistic but thinking maybe I should lower my expectations. What kind of mindset should I have as I start tomorrow? Will it really be as life changing as I hope?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

So I recently asked for an higher salary, which I have been given. My role and responsibilities are the same. I effectively received the agreed amount of money on my latest salary slip but I didn't sign any "new" contract. Is this normal? How does this work? This is my first salary bump and I don't really know how is it supposed to happen.

Thanks in advance
