Today’s goal! 🌲

yall one of the BEST things I did for myself was stopping the pattern of consumerism in my life. I mean it. Feeling bleh, disconnected, hopeless, overwhelmed?

PUT ETHICS BACK INTO YOUR ECONOMY MY SWEET LITTLE BABYGORILLA

Switch to Tutamail to cut all of your spam cleanly and not spend hours flagging shit

Donate any unwanted items, clothes, food

Grow and eat your own vegetables

Switch from chrome to Vivaldi to cut the AI slop, ads, and other busy crap for a simple browser search

Get clothes thrifted or hold clothing swaps with friends

Set up a little book library or food pantry in your yard, or participate in ones around your neighborhood

Follow people like goodgoodco on Instagram to put hope back into your feed

Listen to smaller and independent musicians who could really use the paycheck. Many of them are really good!

Start doing some things for yourself. You don’t need an Alexa or a remote to turn off the lights or open the curtains. Getting up and doing those things yourself can feel really great!

Try to spend less time on your devices. Opt for a sudoku workbook over a sudoku website. Use it, then recycle it. Find ways to unplug.

Save ripped or otherwise unwearable clothes to patch clothes with holes, or else donate the fabric to someone who will reuse it

Use wool dryer balls (cheap, no allergies, no chemicals, reusable, eco friendly) instead of fabric softener

Reblog with your ideas!

you’re welcome <3

My new glasses came in. They fixed the prescription so that my lenses no longer correct for the astigmatism that I DON’T HAVE! (I’m just very nearsighted.)

That right eye lens has been the WRONG prescription for 2 years. TWO YEARS!

They had red and green color filters over the usual eye test stuff to test me last time and I was literally just guessing because I couldn’t tell which picture was clearer when one was tinted red and the other tinted green.

Anyway, I told them this and they took the color filters off and it turns out that NO! My eyes didn’t get substantially worse! Wow! Who would have thunk it!?

I’m annoyed at my mom for telling me to just wait out the bad prescription and “adjust” to it. I have highly suspected it was wrong since it came in. But life got in the way and we couldn’t even schedule a new eye appointment until the next (covered by insurance) annual one, so I never went back to ask them to re-test me.

But luckily it’s fixed now. I can SEE PROPERLY! My right eye doesn’t need to work nearly as hard and everything is in perfect focus. (Well, as perfect as focus gets when you have ADHD)

So yeah. An allergy med that was messing up my brain chemistry and the wrong glasses prescription messing up my vision plus a new job PLUS a lot of major life changes and appointments and anxiety and a trial run of ADHD meds that also weren’t the right meds. (Possibly due to interacting with that dumb allergy med) No wonder the last couple years have been so freakin’ turbulent.

I don’t know whether to cry or laugh or punch something. Honestly, I’m too tired to do any of that. I’m just relieved. So so relieved.

Turning our thoughts to Jesus calms our weary hearts and relieves the heaviness of carrying the weight of our problems. We will discover less stress and more peace when we stop overthinking and focus on God and his goodness.
