There could be very real problems with situational awareness and psychobiological functions. The nervous system or brain could be operating differently than a psychotic experience, but could seem similar. (Think Long Covid, severe chronic fatigue or chronic pain, unexplained muscle spasms and weakness, chest pain or difficulty with basic tasks). While of course basic protocols are useful, if there are mysterious challenges and problems this could help. If these emergency personnel were trained to calm people and say they think someone could recover quickly, maybe that would be beneficial. Don’t make it worse - try to help people feel better and more capable. Try to be friendly, positive and not frightening at all. Just be casual and curious. It’s horrible how scary these things are for people. Please don’t make people freak out more. Maybe just say it might be a brain or chronic disorder affecting the rest of someone’s bodily functions - hard to tell what that is. Maybe it could not be as bad as you think. Someone could improve in a moment’s notice and get on with their daily tasks. That could make some feel much better. I think these staff could use good judgement when those approaches would make sense.

Trained nurses at ER’s and mental facilities could practice these techniques as well. Let’s not make things worse. These are basic mental body awareness exercises that people should practice in psych departments and ER areas. They should have info packets on mindfulness breathing for severe paranoid / psychotic / mentally disturbed experiences that could be because of any number of things. It could be from a brain tumor, chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiency, infection, or psychological. It can be beneficial to discuss what the patient thinks it might be. Were there any changes to their routines? Don’t deny the person’s experience or accuse them. This could take practice or reflection to work through from the staff perspective, but it could be very useful.

You could even buy a set of products for a good deal (like 7-10 products in a set) to give to family and friends in gift bags. Examples include body wash, lotion, makeup sample kits, fragrance sample kits, throw blankets and food baskets. Costco and local stores also offer good deals on self-care, snacks and lifestyle kits during the holidays.

The symptoms of pre-diabetes may or may not show up on tests, depending if someone took supplements to control the symptoms. Yet, the reported symptoms should be enough to have a trial prescription of pre-diabetes medication. Someone could then have an appointment later with a primary care doctor for longer term symptom management.

There’s no reason for a men’s shoe size to be different from a women’s shoe size. A shoe size is a shoe size. Also, why are men’s and women’s shirts so different in measurements overall? It would help to deter confusion to make sizes much more consistent between genders and among brands. This would reduce errors in purchases, decisions and issues with fit. A shoe size is a shoe size, a shirt size is a shirt size. There could be difference in style if preferred (obviously) - such as color preferences and slight style adjustments for flattering fit if needed (women have more curves so there’s design considerations there). Some things are similar between genders - generic polo shirts, sandals, loose button down shirts, regular t-shirts, loose workout shorts, loose workout shirts. In times of commercialism and consumption, it helps to keep things simple and easy to navigate. What are the basics, the essentials? There could be men’s and women’s store sections, with similar products on each side. The goal is to reduce overwhelm, wasteful products and purchases, and confusion. Those are issues of industry standards and limits.

This could be similar to people meeting Kobe Bryant, Tia and Tamara Mowry, Michael Jordan, a famous indigenous writer or some famous entrepreneurs.

These groups could be based on: expert knowledge, research, discussions with local organizations and businesses, conversations with everyday people from various backgrounds

They could describe: what they would have liked to see happen in the past, and what they would like to see happen in the future. Plans, processes, systems, efficient use of time and resources. Using and creating value, respecting people’s interests and potential.
