Wellness / somatic Before you open the news, press both feet flat to the floor and name three things you can hear. Your nervous system needs proof you exist before the feed tells you to be afraid. The held breath tells your vagus nerve the emergency has passed, and the heart rate follows like a dog called home. https://twp.ai/4hs7C1 #Mindfulness #Somatic #NervousSystem #SelfCare #MentalHealth #Grounding #Wellness #Breathwork #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering

“We don’t sit in meditation to become good meditators. We sit in meditation so that we’ll be more awake in our lives.” - Pema Chödrön From her #book “when things fall apart” https://d3e.co/y8 I opened the book to a random page and came across these words. They’re resonating with me deeply in this moment, so I share them with you now. ☺️ “Meditation is an invitation to notice when we reach our limit and to not get carried away by hope and fear. Through meditation, we’re able to see clearly what’s going on with our thoughts and emotions, and we can also let them go.” “Reaching our limit is not some kind of punishment. It’s actually a sign of health that, when we meet the place where we are about to die, we feel fear and trembling. A further sign of health is that we don’t become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it’s time to stop struggling and look directly at what’s threatening us. Things like disappointment and anxiety are messengers telling us that we’re about to go into unknown territory.” “Reaching our limit is like finding a doorway to sanity and the unconditional goodness of humanity, rather than meeting an obstacle or punishment.” Thanks for sharing this moment with me 🙏🏼 #Meditation #mindfulness #calm #SelfCare

I had occasion today to utter the words, "No is a full sentence." It generally doesn't bode well for the other party when that happens. I am making a point to do this earlier and more often. #SelfCare

Before you scroll: press both feet flat to the floor and name three things you can hear. The ground holds you whether or not the news does. The vagus nerve reads a slow exhale as proof of safety — it believes you before your mind does. Box breathe. Four in, four hold, four out, four hold. https://twp.ai/4hqgeT #Mindfulness #Grounding #MentalHealth #SelfCare #NervousSystem #Wellness #Breathwork #Healing #Anxiety #Community

Skullcap for anxiety in the upper chest. Yarrow to stop the bleeding. Dandelion root to cleanse the liver. The herbs don’t care about executive orders. They grow anyway. Read the full reckoning here: https://twp.ai/4hr4Jz Sin an leigheas. That is the medicine. #HerbalMedicine #PlantWisdom #SelfCare #QueerSurvival #DruidPractices

I witnessed someone on the internet being wrong today, and I did not get involved. #SelfCare

Inspired by my meditation the other day, I invite you to pause for a moment and observe the world moving around you. Then observe the world moving within you. How does it feel? And what do you notice? 😃 #selfcare #consciousleadership #mindfulness

Before reading the news, name 3 things by their actual color. Not "blue," but cerulean, slate, cobalt. This isn't just poetry; it's a nervous-system hack. Color discrimination interrupts threat loops. Look up. The sky has kept its color for 9,000 years of chemistry while empires argue. Be furious AND tender. Both are needed to survive. #MentalHealth #Mindfulness #Nature #Cerulean #Grounding #SelfCare #AnxietyRelief #Bealltainn https://twp.ai/9OUqJm

Today went everything like what it was supposed to, and nothing like what I thought it would be like. This makes me quite happy. 🥰 I unexpectedly stopped at the grocery and got stuff to make soup tomorrow. My body NEEDS some veggies, and I fuqing love making soup! #SelfCare

If I'm being honest, yoga and therapy has saved my life because without it I'd have hung myself off a basement rafter at least a year ago. #selfcare #therapy #yoga #selfharm

Self care is... Declining a date tomorrow with someone I really want to share space with. I had to ask myself if I was going to be uncomfortable, and if I have the energy to be whole for the evening. And I don't. I'm still healing from the psychic wounds that recent news brought. Hopefully I'll finish doing the work to disentangle my feelings about long ago connections, and will stop allowing this to affect me so strongly. Self awareness doesn't mean you skip mourning, unaffected. #SelfCare

I don't do a lot of self-care, but my two weekly yoga sessions and therapy are probably the things that keep me the most centered. #selfcare #yoga #therapy

Getting back to hobbies for relaxing:

  1. Picked up the guitar after a couple of decades, 6-strong and 12-string. Fingers are killing me. On the bright side, discovered TuxGuitar. Wow, if I had this when I was 15 I would have learned so much faster!

  2. My controller has arrived, and now watching the pricing on LiftOff on Steam, hoping to buy in a dip.

  3. Homelab finally starting to come together. Maybe went a bit overboard though on the 12 disc array.

¯_(ツ)_/¯
