OCD DAILY - Issue #41

We encourage you to visit these blogs and to show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

If you´ve ever been to a costume party you should have experienced the feeling of loosenes you get when wearing a mask or a disguise but, did you know there are actual psichological studies behind this behaviour? @suesa took a break from chemistry to bring you @trendhobo´s post. If you believe there is more behind the mask rather than just looking cool, click HERE. Be wary of the phrase "Nobody cared till I put on the mask", it is way too real.

Ahhh, every man gets happy when his wife´s birthday is coming, it is always so easy to pick a present for her... Yep, that was sarcasm in case you didn´t notice. For all of you to get jealous, @captainyeeha found the perfect gift for her wife and this post was discovered by @elteamgordo, click HERE to see the gift! Disclaimer: Gift might not work perfectly with other wives hehe.

No one starts life with a manual, we are all learning about it as it goes, getting the most of each experience. There is a millenial word I find as accurate as naive: Adulting. For young adults this is a real word, adulting means paying bills, going to sleep early to be able to wake up to go to wrok, to not spend all of you money on alcohol etc. @howtostartablog found a post about "adulting" in these modern times written by @walkinharmony and altough it is not the authors first language, it is written very good. Click HERE to read a compilation of short stories about a normal day in an adult´s life.

What is a german vegan doing in China? Well, no need to guess that one because @ma1neevent just found @rootingrobert´s blog and in there he writes about all of his adventures. Currently living in Changde, Robert just got a new job and he writes everything about it HERE!

If you want to be a writer, first you have to be a reader, read everything you get your hands into - at least that´s what every aspiring writer gets told. But what happens when you are a succesful writer already? What is the next step? @bucho unveils a delicate matter about a writer who, in the past 40 years has published more than 170 books. The key word here is "Published", not written. Don´t be fooled by the article´s length, @kryptik did a great job finding this one, click HERE to read more.

What makes a parent being proud of their kids? Raise their kids to a certain standard, whatever that standard is. When is a parent prouder? When that same kid exceeds the expectations and that standard is no longer a parameter for them. @jznsamuel discovered the best example of why @cryptoted is the proudest parent ever! I won´t spoil the story, you will have to click HERE to find out how and why, three daughters managed to fundraise $140 dollars for charity and make the proudest parent ever in the process.

I always enjoy finding a nomination for ocd comps that also is participating in a challenge, that means the underrated author can win a double reward for the gem of a post he/she wrote! In this case @negativer boosts his creativity brain cells and comes up with an astounding piece found by @gmuxx, clickHERE to get immersed in this challenge about connecting two photographs that have nothing to do with each other.

Have you heard about how we only use 15% of our brain? Well, that belief is not only about inteligence but also about capacitity. It has been proved that our mind sets physical limits for our body and we just need to train our mind to extend those physical limits. @guyfawkes4-20 found an impressive piece by @alex-icey that while not getting into this exact subject, onboards a topic very similar about the power of the mind and lists a set of requirements to achieve a proper mind training.
