☝️ Upwarding #55: Thingamajigs, Saturn’s Rings Go Bye-Bye?, Crazy Blood Donations
Welcome to this week's Upwarding newsletter. My blog, with more in-depth content, can be found here.
Picture

Saturn is losing its rings, and a cosmic rain made up of ring material is constantly falling on the planet. On the other hand, Mars will eventually gain a ring.
Mindfulness/Spirituality/Chill
Sensing the energy field around you? Here’s an exercise for just that…
Health/Wellness
Donating a pint of blood will require you to consume an extra 650 calories to replace it. Which is about an hour and a half of hard exercise!
Taking this to the extreme:
The average American gains 0.8 pounds per year
If you donated every 8 weeks, you would burn 4200 calories per year, which is 1.2 pounds per year. Assuming you don’t eat it back. Might this solve America’s obesity problem?
Investing/Money
People want sustainable income so badly they are willing to do tax-suicidal things to do it. Check out HNDL, which guarantees a payout of 7% and will just self-liquidate when they can’t generate the cash flow. Don’t confuse consistent payments with low risk!
