Rec'd on 🦕 THINGS TO DO THAT *ISNT* CONSUMING MEDIA?

walk in nature, go to the park if possible. watch birds and other animals. take headphones and listen to some tunes if you'd like Also I'd recommend journaling or taking up any sort of writing. I may be biased b/c half of what I've been doing with my time lately has been poem writing, but taking up creative writing is so fun and full of endless possibilities. Best part is you don't have to show anyone if you don't want to b/c at the end of the day, you're ideally doing it for the joy of creation and the love of the game.

to me? COnnecting with nature

Try to pick up the habit of taking walks around local parks, forests (where you feel like it’s safe) or if it is a possibility go on hikings. And this advice is particularly special for you, as a fellow artist I have this theory that we have this ability of finding beauty in everything, even in the things we might not even like. And most definitely I’m sure you’ll find yourself amazed by the things you’ll find by looking at your surroundings with calm and attention. There is no better way to feel alive than by feeling amazed, feeling wonder. It makes me, the world and my problems feel insignificant against the beauty of it.

Going somewhere in nature

either going on a hike or just exploring and taking my time somewhere in nature. It helps me to get some perspective and reset. I prefer somewhere with a creek, I like looking at different rocks trying to find ones that have cool shapes/textures/colors. look for national/state forests or wildlife refuges near you! for creative ruts, i’ll do an excercise sometimes where I look for weird shadows or leaves or anything really and try and turn those shapes into characters or just see how my brain reinterprets them. it’s a nice low stakes creative game

go outside and do nothing

I am much more satisfied w myself when I do this every day. Sometimes when my awareness has been compressed into a pop tart sized lcd screen, going outside and looking at the tree canopies can feel like an acid trip. When I'm not making a practice out of it I feel like I've lost the way. poem by Nanao Sakaki: If you have time to chat, Read books. If you have time to read books, Walk into mountain, desert, and ocean. If you have time to walk, Sing a song and dance. If you have time to dance, Sit quietly, you lucky, happy idiot.
