The world is pretty shit right now and it can be pretty tiring and heavy. So I’ve decied to make a daily post for us to share GOOD things that happened recently, whether that’s a bigger picture good thing or a small, personal good thing.
Did you make strides in unionizing your work place recently?
Hear about a strike?
See a cool bug?
Help out a comrade?
If so, share it with us in the comments here! It doesn’t matter big or small! This is a space to recharge and remind yourself what you’re fighting for. Come and vibe!
I’ve been working with a therapist on making the life I want for myself. It’s been really nice because now I have some goals I can work towards.
They were usually too big to process and work towards and now I have clear steps I can identify and keep in mind.
And one of those goals is just to spend two hours once a week doing nothing at all. Don’t have to nap or answer texts, or do anything I can call productive.
So I’ve been returning to the habit of daydreaming and seeing where my mind takes me. Or napping if I feel tired. But just doing something for myself without a profit motive.
The movie Matilda was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I rewatched from start to finish without using my phone, playing a game, or doing chores. I just gave it all my attention and enjoyed the movie for me.
I loved it!
A lot of therapists in the US wouldn’t dare suggest that because the cultural goal for most therapy in the US is to make you as productive (for the sake of those profiting from your labor) as possible.
You got a great therapist.
