Curated Collection #42
Selected stories for avid readers
Dear Readers,
Today, we selected a small number of interesting stories published on ILLUMINATION out of many published pieces today. Our aim is to give avid readers a quick taste of these stories from our diverse and inclusive publication on Medium. We value our writers as they support our readers.
You may check a curated collection from our special publication SYNERGY giving voice to freelance writers. We hope you find these informative stories valuable especially if you are into content development and marketing.
Illumination Integrated Publication has a new pub called “ILLUMINATION on YouTube” aiming to give voice to YouTubers on Medium and allow Medium writers to introduce their YouTube channel. All writers and YouTubers are welcome to join this exciting journey. This pub is owned by Illumination YouTube Coordinator. Details are in this story. Today, we introduced Carla Woody on Illumination YouTube Channel. We will feature more writers.
We posted our monthly newsletter. We also posted it to Substack for our extended subscribers. We’d appreciate it if you can share the links in your social circles to keep the external audience informed of our progress for writers and readers.
As mentioned earlier, we introduce new writers joining our publications in this post daily. Our purpose is to reduce the administrative workload for 15,000 writers. This new approach will save us significant time.
In addition, this new plan might give an opportunity to our existing writers to find and follow new writers. It is beneficial for previous and new writers for cross pollinating them actively. Let’s give these new writers who join us today a warm welcome: Carl Poland, KIM, VRITANT, Tuhin Kumar Kar, Sanjana S, SAHIL, Kara-Leah. New writers, please check this onboarding pack before submitting your stories to our publications. Quality and style of your stories are important for our readers.
You may check featured collections in a single post titled Meta Collection of Featured Stories: Easy access to daily selected stories from engaging writers of ILLUMINATION: Volume 3–2022. We firmly believe that you find some valuable and enjoyable pieces on this collection and previous collections. You may also check great stories in our featured collection from the last three days. Here are the last three collections full of interesting stories covering many topics.Curated

Seven Tips to Improve Mood Instantly Dr Mehmet Yildiz #mental-health
“When we feel tired and overwhelmed, our sympathetic nervous system takes over. It can put us in a fight, flight, or freeze state. These states are part of our natural protection process directed by the survival system. However, we need to activate our parasympathetic nervous system to get rid of the survival state and move to a thriving state.”
Fat Loss Isn’t Complex. We Make It Mysteries. Dr Mehmet Yildiz #health
“I assumed scientists don’t make mistakes. When I saw obese scientists and medical doctors, my perception changed. They are mortal beings like us. I learned better lessons from centenarians. Health has nothing to do with theory but a lot to do with listening to the body and make corrective actions.”
