βa meditative podcast about cerealβ by justin mcelroy & dan goubert!!!!! ur go-to news source for all the happenings in the american breakfast cereal industry, delivered in soothing dulcet tones. i fall asleep 2 it just about every night
i think i particularly enjoy it because i live in australia and simply cannot hope to get my hands on sugar cookie toast crunch or whatever the latest delicious box may be. it feels like some kinda tantalus situation, but as self-inflicted anti-consumption therapy

Using podcasts as white noise to fall asleep has really helped my insomnia! Hearing people talk somehow cancels out my overactive brain that won't shut up at night. This one is the best. No ads, no loud voices, ocean background noise. I couldn't tell you about a single episode because I am out like a light. And I don't even eat cereal.

i just discovered this one today, it is patreon only ($3/mo) and the one episode i listened to felt like a lullaby. the host interviews vintage collectors of all kinds and asks them about their personal histories with fashion and clothing as well as their influences, philosophies etc. something about this is so soothing. it is engaging but not necessarily dynamic so i think it would be lovely to fall asleep to!!

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
