Speaking from experience, the "normal to want and possible to attain" meme has been revolutionary for the "abnormal to want, impossible to attain" crowd

[teaboot]

(thinking of something I want) is this normal. Is it attainable

Made explicit plans to have a very not-answering-my-texts day but was thwarted by my evil nemesis, other-person-in-the-same-room-as-me, telling the person who texted me not just that I saw the text, but that I’d get back to them in a bit…

When learning something new or honing a skill people will drill into you that you need to do the thing every single day to get better at it.

And let me be clear. In most circumstances? Ideal scenario. But we live in the real world and the real world has depression and screaming toddlers and 9-5 jobs.

It’s fine if you personally can’t do the thing every day. Just get back to it when you can. You don’t need to do something perfectly for it to be worth doing.

Doing things when you have the time and energy is better than forcing yourself to squeeze it in when you don't. Especially if it's something you want to get love and joy out of.

Like as a general experience sure, but also as a real learning strategy. It's harder to hone a skill or retain information when you're tired or under stress, and harder to stick to an activity long-term if you associate it with that stress.

Suddenly I saw in front of me the Statue of the Faun, the Statue that I love above all others. There was his calm, faintly smiling face; there was his forefinger gently pressed to his lips. In the past I have always thought he meant to warn me of something with that gesture: Be careful! But today it seemed to mean something quite different: Hush! Be comforted! I climbed up on to his Plinth and flung Myself into his Arms, wrapping my arm around his Neck, intertwining my fingers with his Fingers. Safe in his embrace, I wept for my lost Sanity. Great, heaving sobs rose up, almost painfully, from my chest.

Hush! he told me. Be comforted!

I resolve to take better care of Myself.
