half an hour’s work, a good song’s worth of dancing around, half an hour’s work, etc. etc.……. it gets ur body moving & ur blood flowing & also really feels like a proper break full of fun & recreation!!!! plus u can dance while making a cup of tea/getting a snack/whateva :)))) i also find that a song is so much more satisfying than a timer - when it ends it really feels resolved.

it helps me focus and stay moving around so i’m not just standing still on my feet while i pull espresso for 6 hours.
also it really brightens people‘s day. sometimes i get folks to dance with me, sometimes i get comments about the vibe, its just nice. it starts conversations about music. it makes work better.

last night i danced for like an hour just by myself. its a great workout and the more i do it, the closer i feel to really letting loose and dancing around other people
it's also the only time i feel like i can dance to just my favorite songs

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!!!!!!!
