taking care of the bodily experience

take a moment to identify which bit of the body is holding the most anxiety, and then massage or hold or rub that spot for a while. for me it's usually my arms, and rubbing them like i'm trying 2 warm up helps so so much. also just finding physical ways 2 release the energy that might have built up - singing, dancing, gently tapping your temples, rolling around in bed & kicking all ur limbs around the place....... good @ tiring you out 2 if you're aiming 2 get 2 sleep soon!!!

relaxing your jaw

If you're anything like me your jaw is clenched tightly at this very moment. Realize it, and relax it.

treating everything like an experiment

(specifically behavioural experiment — really putting my psych degree into good use huh?) i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens i don't even have to stick to it — this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all — i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant) if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible... we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!

bamboo scaffolding

absolutely hate how the government is insisting on phasing out bamboo scaffolding and replacing it with steel scaffolding... like why??? bamboo scaffolding is deeply woven into hong kong culture and instantly reminds of home because it's just so unique and so distinctively hongkonger... i fucking hate the lack of efforts of cultural preservation because what else do we have left? in recent years i could already feel a slow, sinking feeling that the local flavour of hong kong is slowly slipping away... i just don't want the city i was born and raised in to be more and more unrecognisable as time goes on.... even from the tiniest details of everyday life there are so many iconic landscapes, features and walks of life that i value so much in the city that i just don't want to be seen thrown in the wayside and i know many hongkongers feel this way too
