I usually work out, listen to music, or sometimes just accept feeling down. Somehow it just works, and I end up feeling super motivated once it passes

this morning I was hit with some pretty bad news. I was in quite the unmotivated state afterwards and I dug deep into it by listening to one sad song on repeat until the self-pity fully marinated. when I was ready (hours later) I changed the music to hardcore disco, wrote affirmations on my wall, and got to work! cleared everything off my to-do list, scheduled dinner with the family, and now I am off to do my night time routine because how the day begins is not how it has to end! And should the same problem persist, it’s a bridge I’ll cross when I get there.

every day, i try to incorporate:
1) some form of exercise
2) time outside (can be combined with exercise)
3) talking to/seeing a friend (or even a stranger, the important thing is social contact)
4) an intellectually stimulating activity that gives you a feeling of accomplishment (reading, practicing a language, doing a puzzle etc)
5) self care (nails, facial masks, body oil, or hell just a shower if that’s what you need)
when I maintain this routine my mental health stays fairly manageable! you can get through it 💪

I like to go for a long walk + look at what flowers are in season. Also anything that keeps my hands busy is good—knitting, cooking, folding laundry. Tidying my space, opening a window, lighting an incense make me feel calm, refreshed + as though I have agency to exercise when the sadness-inducing thing is beyond my control.
TV and phone time are typically bad when I am sad; books and music are hit or miss

this is one of the few places online that actually feels good to use. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but it’s thoughtful, chill, and way more human than the usual social apps.

I really believe our names shape our lives. not just what people call you, but how the world sees you, responds to you, reflects you back to yourself.
If mine was different, I don’t think I’d be the same person at all. maybe nothing around me would be the same either.
It sounds unhinged but I don’t care. and yeah, it keeps me up at night more than it should

Honestly, most people I know aren’t really thinking about it that deeply. Everyone’s just tired, and if AI helps get stuff off their plate quicker, they’re gonna use it.
