Affair fog: is a term that describes an unfaithful partner’s state of mind that promotes and sustains these changes while consumed with an affair. The committed relationship is conceptualized in negative terms while the affair is viewed with euphoria, positivity, or protectiveness. You affair is a delusion. Affairs are not based in reality. They are usually the result of mental illness and a break from the objective reality, on both parties of the affair. People of sound intelligence, psychology understanding, self awareness and a logical mind do not participate in affairs especially when you consider weighing the pros and cons of the consequences of having one. The ecstasy, novelty, and exhilaration associated with affairs are driven by the mood-elevating neurotransmitters of dopamine and norepinephrine, as well as the hormone phenylethylamine. Together these chemicals can resemble highs similar to morphine, which compel unfaithful partners to return to the affair for continued experiencing of this “rush”. Cognitive dissonance is a phenomenon that describes the internal tension produced when one’s behaviors or beliefs are inconsistent with one another (i.e. “I am an honest person” and “I am a cheater”). To alleviate this tension, one either changes their behavior (i.e. stops the affair and/or discloses the affair) or purposefully amends their thinking to justify the behavior (i.e. “Cheating isn’t so bad because my husband has been gone so much at work lately”). When the affair is reframed to minimize the unfaithful partner’s guilt, the morality of the affair is justified and the committed relationship belittled. (narcissistic) Unfaithful partners are likely to seek out and verbalize evidence that supports the affair and minimize or reject evidence that suggests reconsideration. Once our heels are dug in the sand, we tend to push them even deeper when confronted with information that paints us in an unflattering light. Positive parts of the committed relationship may be overshadowed by unfaithful partners zooming in on negative aspects of the relationship, no matter how small. To feel better about the present, we often turn to the past. Recasting old memories in a negative light or pretending memories do not exist support the unfaithful partner’s reauthoring of the committed relationship. This eliminates the need for unfaithful partners to take ownership for their hurtful actions. - GASLIGHTING A form of mental abuse that entails purposeful manipulation by questioning someone else’s sanity. Unfaithful partners may make you question your perception of the world and whether your tether to reality or other relationships are legitimate or deserved. If you have suffered this type of betrayal trauma, you can get help from a Trauma informed counselor.

This article is well worth the read for those in the excavation industry, it is the conclusion of a WorkSafe New Zealand investigation into a cable damage incident in which a worker was injured in #Dunedin. A number of lessons to be learnt here about identification of redundant and live cables within your excavation zone. Long story short do not make assumptions and treat all cables as live until proved otherwise by competent personnel. https://lnkd.in/gWhwBwRB #damageprevention #strikeavoidance #utilitysafety #digsafe #worksafe #utilitylocating #utilitysurvey #getplans #beforeyoudig

Horizontal fall arrest and fall restraint system.... The emphasis on the "Freedom to Work. Securely Attached." with Horizontal Fall Arrest and Fall Restraint Systems is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers on rooftops. These systems provide the necessary freedom of movement while securely attaching individuals to a lifeline, prioritizing their safety at all times. Highlighting the importance of these systems as part of a commitment to a secure working environment underscores their pivotal role in preventing accidents and mitigating the impact of falls for those working at elevated positions. Key points for Horizontal Fall Arrest Systems include proper equipment selection, thorough training, site-specific risk assessment, and regular inspection and maintenance of anchorage points. Similarly, for Horizontal Fall Restraint Systems, considerations involve work area analysis, equipment compatibility, training, awareness, supervision, and monitoring. Adhering to these guidelines collectively fosters a safer working environment, significantly reducing the risks associated with working at heights. The message reinforces that safety is a shared responsibility, emphasizing the crucial commitment to these protocols in building a culture of well-being within the organization.

🛑 Safety First! 🛑 Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime. Wearing the right headgear isn't just a precaution; it's a responsibility. Whether on the construction site, in the lab, or cruising on a bike, a helmet can be a lifesaver. Let's make a pledge to prioritize safety in every aspect of our lives. It's not just about compliance; it's about valuing ourselves and those around us. Tag someone who you want to remind about the importance of head protection. 🧠💪 #Bullard #BullardCares #SafetyFirst #HeadProtection #SafetyCulture

When discussing safety, our thoughts often turn to first responders like police officers, firefighters, and tow truck operators, depending on the situation. And rightly so – they are crucial in emergency scenarios. However, it's important to recognize that behind every effective service, there's a supporting structure making things better every day. Nite Beams plays a vital role in this, especially in low-light conditions, safeguarding our first responders, their equipment, and the public. As Walter Eric wisely said, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." Today, Nite Beams and Rathco Safety Supply, Inc. are collaborating to develop a groundbreaking technology designed to alleviate both apparent and less obvious challenges faced by roadworkers during their duties. "Preventing accidents, Saving lives" is our motto. Stay tune! It's coming up soon. #Safetyfirst #lawenforcement #firedepartment #dot #towingservice #paving #construction #trafficsafety #slowdownandmoveover #nitebeamproducts #nitebeamssafety

In the realm of technological innovation, Bailout Systems, Inc. is not only a pioneering company but a testament to the resilience and innovation born from personal adversity. Founded by Michael Ragsdale, Bailout Systems emerged from a harrowing experience—a 100-foot fall at the Red River Gorge followed by a three-day coma. Bailout Systems addresses the critical problem of inadequate fall safety equipment in high-risk environments. Its hands-free descent technology provides a safer, more reliable, and user-friendly solution for individuals working at heights—firefighters, military personnel, rock climbers, and arborists. The goal is to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries associated with high-altitude work, enhancing overall safety. Our latest interview with founder, Michael Ragsdale, unfolds the compelling narrative of Bailout Systems, its mission, revolutionary technology, and the transformative impact of its collaboration with the EC.
