look at a tree. draw something from life. do a puzzle or craft. write a letter by hand. spend a whole day of unstructured time with a friend. let yourself get bored enough to notice what’s around you.

⏰im not saying watching tv, or scrolling your phone, or listening To music. I mean being present and noticing with all your senses Just what kind of environment you exist in and how you engage with it. let your mind wander and do a little daydreaming - I promise, it’s good for you

🫧I am much more satisfied w myself when I do this every day. Sometimes when my awareness has been compressed into a pop tart sized lcd screen, going outside and looking at the tree canopies can feel like an acid trip. When I'm not making a practice out of it I feel like I've lost the way.
poem by Nanao Sakaki:
If you have time to chat, Read books. If you have time to read books, Walk into mountain, desert, and ocean. If you have time to walk, Sing a song and dance. If you have time to dance, Sit quietly, you lucky, happy idiot.

⏺️think about it, join me:
maybe journal, maybe clean, maybe egg, maybe egg sandwich. perhaps guitar or favorite record or long shower. refill water whenever you need it. gaze up at a tree from underneath for too long or not long enough or maybe just the right amount of time to realize you have blanket and limitless afternoon and warmth of people you love, and you sit down and look at all of the moss and tiny mushrooms and patterns of the bark and exist within the smallness of yourself in the big wide universe.

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
