#daily dose of health

[nightmare-from-heaven]

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

you know the trip back home from spending an evening with the best people is the most satisfying thing ever. you appreciate everything you see around — the billboards, the traffic, the lights, the sound. and you think 'man, this was such a good day'. everything is magical.

That feminine urge to walk around in a cave that's also the ruins of a hotel with your four mates while wearing one of these gowns like a sweet little vampire housewife who spends her time getting the little nest all nice and pretty, dusting cobwebs, lighting candles and fires, sweeping off dust on the fountain, cleaning up blood and such stained on clothes and fabrics.

Or answering the door at a home to some random person who decided to give the doorbell a ring at the wrong time and I'd answer the door all oblivious and elegant, inviting them in for a bite.

You know, normal thoughts.🙃

💜

you did...

...your best today.

even if it was the bare minimum, it was probably the best that you could have done today. and that's okay.

maybe tomorrow, you can do a bit more. or not. however much it is, do it well.

your best doesn't always have to be 'the absolute best'. go easy on yourself ✨

I think y'all should see our cats cuddling. No idea why Toffee squished herself there, but she seemed to find it comfy! And Mau, who usually needs her space, was fine with it.

Lately I’ve been establishing what my goals are…do I truly want something or do I want people to see me have that something?

For years I’ve been trying to sever my connection to other people in the way of people pleasing. I can’t say it’s been easy. I thought I was getting a lot better at it until I found myself choosing careers because I thought others would think I was “impressive or successful” rather than picking a job that suits my chronic illness and physical ailments.

I quit my job that I loved so much. It was something that made me feel powerful. Strong. Courageous. Capable of anything. But on the other hand, the next day when my body was in pain from the laborious tasks I had to complete, I felt weak. Run down. Unworthy. Incapable.

But after the last few weeks of having so much time to contemplate my thoughts and what I want in this lifetime, I realized I’m the only one making myself feel that way. I am being the destruction and chaos in my own world.

My opinion is the only one that truly matters because in the end I’ll be the one living with myself, every moment of every single day and I deserve to feel worthy and valued and in complete harmony with myself and whatever career path I end up choosing.

Your career doesn’t define you.

Your illness doesn’t define you.

Your problems don’t define you.

Your thoughts, goals, perception of yourself, perception of the world, the way you treat your family and friends, the way you care for your body, the way you take care of your home and environment, your likes and dislikes, your muse, your morals, your faith. That’s what defines you and you’re always the moderator of what defines you.

Don’t let others create the life you live.

That’s why therapy didn’t work for me. Even though therapy helped me realize some things about myself and why others treated me the way they did while I was in it, the more I talked about my problems the more depressed I became.

.

.

This is only my personal experience . In no way I discourage anyone to seek therapy if they feel they need it.

. 🌧️ Rumination and Depression 🌧️

Ever feel trapped in a loop of negative thoughts? This is rumination, a common struggle with depression. It keeps us focused on problems, deepening feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

💡 Tips to Break the Cycle:

1. Shift Focus: Dive into a hobby or exercise.

2. Challenge Thoughts: Question if your worries are as bad as they seem.

3. Mindfulness: Stay present to reduce repetitive thinking.

Remember, you’re not alone.

quick note - this blog is gonna be sparse again for at least this week. trying new medications and tbh initial side effects are not super pleasant + actual effects build up. as a result: currently as if unmedicated for mental health, with anxiety+ side effect, extra fatigue, dizziness, and fatigue. it's uh, sure something.

totally recognize that most of y'all know we're absent at times due to health things, just wanted to give a heads up that this one is at least anticipated.
