I started volunteering serving breakfast to seniors friday mornings a month ago. I’m a pathologically self obsessed person, and not in a fun way. It’s torture always thinking about yourself. Now it’s the best part of my week and I’m
Doing it on Mondays too. Can’t recommend this enough. And I’m not bragging, I’m just shocked by how much I like it

I used to do this in high school but stopped when I went to uni/started working. I started volunteering at Mind recently and it helps to give me some purpose

i have tendencies toward addiction and i often form habits that are pretty destructive with it, but about two months ago, i started walking and listening to audiobooks and just totally clearing my mind, and it’s a new, actually helpful addiction. i go on at least two two-mile walks a day, sometimes further if i have time. responding to my sensory-seeking urges by pounding the pavement has actually been life-changing.
i think we elevate and laud the ”hard” physical activities like going to the gym, running, pilates, etc., but i’ve always been really solitary when working out, running makes me sick to my stomach, and pilates and other group fitness classes are too expensive. additionally, walking has been proven to be just as good for you as running and less harsh on your joints. i can’t believe i finally found something that’s 100 percent free and so fucking simple to calm the buzzing under my skin and that fiery need to feel something, and it’s something i learned to do before i was a year old. for once, i feel comfortable in my own head.

Firstly I am in the same boat to an absolute T. I have found that on two days of the week I just have to come home and rot because I’m tired. But later in the week I have a bit more energy, so I’ve been going to a weekly swim group on Friday and going out on weekends to events/ exhibition. I have found I have to like drip feed myself or I get overwhelmed and rot even more. My next step is to try build more of a routine to stop myself from crawling into bed the second I get home. It takes patience but I have been feeling a bit better recently :)

Refutation is exhausting. What if everyone was right and everything was true? Big load off my back honestly

I play this 12 hours of applause when painting or writing it helps me feel encouraged. Nobody applauds at an art show which has always been a bummer to me
