Hello my lovelies! Been a rough week of flare after I got a bit too into the Cheryl tip game last week lol but very worth it with how much fun I had and I'm on a slow but steady recovery trend. I tried to take some time off this week but between flares and trying to catch up i mostly failed miserably... except that I did I get a few moments to just enjoy nature on my balcony for the first time in weeks, maybe even months, the other day! The sunset was this gorgeous candy floss pink and lilac, and the light made me feel extra cute 🥹 I just had to share it w yous, I get to have joyful moments like dis bcs of yous and I'm so grateful 🥰 And as much as I struggle to not overwork, I know I'm not the only one that struggles with prioritizing my health, especially mental health. Many of you are so kind and encouraging with my health needs, and shared that you have similar experiences, so I figured I'd write us a lil reminder and hopefully help yous out a fraction of how you encourage me 🥰 A reminder that down time from being burnt out is not the same as active rest and nourishment! You can't achieve your goals or help your loved ones etc if you run yourself into the ground. We get so caught up in pushing and only stopping when we can't push anymore, and we think that pattern is okay bcs our capatalist society encourages us cogs to work as much as possible. Itd be like relying on walking from bed to the kitchen every day as enough exercise, yes it's physical activity which is good for you, but you need an adequate amount to be healthy (which for most ppl is a lot more than that few seconds walk). Same goes for rest. Rest is radical and productive. Fried & zoned out recouping is not rest, it's non consensual downtime... limbo. Just bcs your body isn't moving or you're not doing "work" doesn't mean you're resting or recharging yourself. And if you can't stop your brain from saying you must do productive things at all times then yell back that "rest is productive"! Taking care of yourself is productive.... Taking time to do something that makes you happy or lights you up is productive.... Tuning off tech for a lil or conversely using tech to catch up with someone... That's productive. And it's okay to prioritize being productive for yourself sometimes over other ppl. So go forth and be productive my Cosmianauts, and I will be too ✨ What's a way you like to recharge?
