🛌
Actually resting
it’s not bed rotting to rest when you’re tired, run-down, or sick. I can feel where capitalist dogma has seeped into me every time I feel doubt or shame for how much time I’ve spent in bed or doing very little, or the fear that I’ll never be motivated to do anything again. it’s not true! inevitably after only 3 days of solid rest I naturally crave activity, projects, organization, work, and not as penance. rec for rest: screen time of any kind is not the rest I’m talking about… we’re talking rest as a monotask.

Staying human
So much is invested in telling us that we have to be “productive” and optimized and more like machines. I‘m still working on shaking that guilty feeling when I do ”nothing.” But it’s not nothing. It‘s actually rebellion to chill out for a day and let the mind and body rest

Knowing when to rest
Seems simple but it’s important! Alone time is my favorite time. Some days are not for bettering yourself. Sometime you have to bask in the sun in the park, or rot in your bed while watching tv.

knowing the difference between resting and recharging
taking the time to make space for yourself and do activities that fill your soul are wonderful ways to recharge, but their very purpose is defeated if you’re too burnt out to even enjoy them. so take a beat and rest, like really get some good sleep, put the phone away and let your brain unload for a bit.

visibly mending
extend the life of your clothes by covering holes or stains with embroidery floss and yarn while giving them new cool zombie flair! you don’t even have to be neat, the more imperfect the weave the more organic the result. the best mended garments are almost fungal, covered in sick multi-colored lichen.

Fiona apple‘s “window” lyrics
Because the fact being that Whatever's in front of me Is covering my view So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact I only see what I'm looking through …if that isn’t the most accurate depiction of perspective I’ve ever heard
