May I offer you Humankind by Rutger Bregman, Hope in the Darkness by Rebecca Solnit, Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown, Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie, Factfullness by Hans Rosling, or Braiding Sweet Grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer in these trying times? Or the backlog of Yes! magazine? Or Fix the News? Especially today, your newsfeed is going to be tilted towards anti-humanist despair. Balance it out intentionally.

taking your goals seriously = being clear, focused, strategic and realistic, yet also making time for fun, play, rest, and pleasure. pushing yourself to grow and remaining disciplined in a way that builds self worth.

being too serious = working harder than you actually need to, entering into stress and worry, and ignoring everything except your narrow goal. believing that fun is childish and means you’re not committed to your goals. pushing too hard because you don’t trust yourself. eroding self worth by being too harsh.

sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.

i’m way more busy lately and have an actual commute which eats into my time so meals have been looking a lot more like this. a smorgasbord 🥒🍗🫑

WAIT. Not to be controversial but. What if I just enjoy life for what it is right now instead of stressing about what I’ve yet to get out of it. What if I choose to enjoy this time……I know that once it goes, I won’t get it back from anywhere
