Hangry? Hanxious? - my work-in-progress reveal
Feeling frazzled? Been too long since lunch and the sweet coffee drink ran out a while ago? It's time to tame the Hangry beast and its twin Hanxious!
Hello my beta group - I have a first draft of an intro video for an online course that I have been working on. There will be some bells and whistles on the platform which this draft video doesn’t have.
I would appreciate feedback - does the topic seem of interest? For yourself or others?
Is the video format and colors, etc, reasonable even though I can’t seem to stay centered in my little video bubble?
How about the title? - Tame the Hangry beast and its twin Hanxious. Are you ready to go to work learning how to do that?
I am supposed to collect your emails so you can get updates about registering for the course. Subscribers will get the updates, so do Subscribe if you are interested in this course idea or others I plan to add, short list below.
This post is background information for one of the points I make briefly towards the end of the video:
Bergamot for anxiety, poor sleep & PTSD; and other Essential Oils for PTSD & even better when used at Acupressure points
“First Aid with Essential Oils is within the Scope of Self-Care.” - Max Stanley Chartrand, Ph.D. CSP (Behavioral Medicine) “Self-Care: the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.” Oxford Dictionary (page 94, The Incredible Power of Essential Oils, 3rd Ed., M.S. Chartrand, 2023,
And I mention my Essential Oils Book Club on Facebook, (invite link). It is a private group.
My course idea list includes the following:
Pomegranate the Royal Fruit and Cancer Fighting Super Food - but how do I use it?
Ditch your lawn, Eat the weeds! - Foraging for better health, a better ecosystem, and free food! *Always ask permission before entering private property and avoid foraging where chemical lawn treatments are used or near busy roads or gas stations.
Cooking for your Hospice or Homebound loved ones - including how to make soft foods, puree, or thickened textures.
Prevent Mystery Infections with Super Foods, Supplements, Herbs or Essential Oils. *I already have a draft video and workbook for that topic. “Arm yourself against Cold and Flu Season”? Or is “Mystery Infection” a better descriptor now?
It's time to turn that frown upside down!
Happy New Month on the Calendar Day!
“See more stunning nature photos at Nature.org”, The Nature Conservancy.
Important date in March: my birthday 🎂 the 8th, I will be 58 years young, and it is also International Women's Day…
…and is also the date through which there is temporary government funding. 🤔😱🙄 Or maybe longer through the 22nd.
Curious about my photo beast?
It’s a selfie ;-).

On a tangential topic - I used an AI prototype designed for course generation and it was most helpful at showing me what it was confused about. That suggested where humans might also be confused by my writing. I fed it a pdf of a podcast episode series, three parts, one of which was a little off topic: (google docs). So it did help, but was a bit too infomercial-ly in style, and short on content. Not quite my style.
Addition: This post about the need for more protein in a daily diet than mostly carbs is accurate but doesn’t do enough education about simple carbohydrates versus high fiber ones.
