Finding ways for to adapt a practice to work for you

I’ve been meditating consistently for the first time in over a year and I feel like a big part of it is finding a good mix of traditional meditation and activities that put me in a meditative state (going for a walk, bird watching, water colors, reading tarot)

Rest, tools, patience

Echoing the value of rest💗 consider the 7 types of rest and see what areas might feel nice for you to incorporate into your day/week rn. There are some great tools out there (esp. if therapy or doctors visits are inaccessible or just not the right path for you) to support mental health or creative practices. Some free/web available resources I trust are The Artists Way by Julia Cameron (caveat that this has some chat about spirituality, and for some folks that may not be a great fit, but super useful otherwise), Thinking Traps Tutorial by Dr. Raquel Martin or any of her free resources really, and symptom journaling generally. Would be glad to share both wider or more specific reccs if desired. And just know it takes time but it's not forever that you'll feel dispassionate. Sending lots of gentleness and warmth to you.

defining what is a meditation to you

i have yet to be able to sit still and turn off my mind and meditate the traditional way, but i’m a big believer in finding physical actions that allow one to enter that zone…i know when i’m active with my hands when drawing or playing an instrument, my brain enters a different state thats soothing and is the only time where no other thoughts are coming into my head. i have a friend that doesn’t eat sweets but she loves baking treats because the actions relax her. my uncle is a surfer and he says surfing is the only time he feels his brain is totally clear of any other thoughts. i don't garden but i imagine those that do find that space too…

Whip it

Most underrated coming of age movie - changed my life for the better when I was a pre-teen. I watched it again recently and it’s still so good. Dunno why it’s not gayer though ?

a Two-part breakfast

first you have eggs Then you have a bowl of yoghurt and granola and fruit its like having a main and a pudding but they’re of equal substance/importance and the second part is only mildly sweet
