The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline

“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.

How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?

Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.

Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.

Small Ways To Improve Your Life

make your bed to immediately make your room look more put together

water first, then coffee or tea

pray or meditate, even just for ten minutes, to set the tone for your day

browse the news headlines ( & read the articles that interest you when you’ve got time)

wear something you feel b o m b in

listen to music while doing your daily activities-commuting, cleaning, cooking, exercising

smile at at least two people

smile at YOURSELF

call or message someone you love

eat food that makes you feel radiant

make lists of things you need to accomplish for the day

stretch for 10 minutes

record in your phone the positive thoughts you have so you can remember them

carry water with you (always always always)

shut off your phone for an hour and have some ME time

take a hot shower or bath at the end of a stressful day

try to make plans to spend time with someone at least once a week

think about 3 things you are grateful for at the end of each day

do something calming, relaxing, and non-electronic 30 minutes before you sleep

sleep pants-less

[drachenengel]

I can recommend every point on the list and add: pick two things you don’t feel like doing but do them anyway without telling anybody!…the laundry, the dishes, your agenda, anything off the above list, etc. keep that up for as many consecutive days as possible and you’ll begin to feel like a really good person inside - total boost guaranteed ;)

bullet journal pages you could start in 2015

(or at any time, really, but lots of people have new journals now and it’s nice to get something happening in them) 

books to read this year

books read this year (as a record) 

films to watch

a self-care and self-rewards masterlist so you have something to refer to when you need a break or something nice 

things to learn

things learnt 

music to listen to 

music discovered 

wishlist of things to find while thrift-shopping 

list of life reminders, to accumulate all the advice and good things you find this year

a list of dream aesthetics because why not, who said a bullet journal has to be practical and work-focused always

a list of resolutions, if that’s your kind of thing 

a list of road-trips to make 

a list of charities or causes to donate to (to return to and work through whenever you have extra money) 

a list of friends’ birthdays and important dates to remember 

a list of the names of new people you meet

a list of the things that comprise the person you would like to be

a list of things you want to do that are not about school or work, just about what you would like

a list of ideas you find difficult but important

a list of simple things you have every right to be proud about, be that getting out of bed one more time a week, or surviving all the small things. 

a list of small and large things that have happened to you this year, so at the end you look back and see, condensed, some of the things that changed you.

whatever you want

Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.
