  3. Rest was not weakness. Rest was also practice, when done with presence.

    Gentle breathing instead of power yoga. A slow walk instead of a fast run.

    What would it mean for you to practice rest with the same devotion you give to movement?

  4. The Seven of Cups asks the hard one: are you chasing your own desire, or a dream that family, society, or an old version of you handed you to carry? Not every cup on the table is yours to drink.

  8. Success?

    The word for the day at Ragtag Daily Prompt is success

    I don’t “hate” a lot of things in life. I did when I was younger until I eventually reached a point where I realized it took a lot of energy to hate. But “success” is a word I hate.

    I used to have a friend (RIP 11 years now☹️) who would judge everyone and everything. We would sit and be miserable together and he’d say stuff like, “He’s had a lot of girlfriends, he’s really a success”, or “He’s really successful, he has a good job and a lot of money.” You get the idea. And of course the underlying idea behind everything is that he and I, by virtue of our not having the things that he defined as “success” in life, like girlfriends, or glamorous careers, or fancy cars, or big houses, or lots of children, were failures.

    Worse, for me, was that his standards of success and failure, they all flew in the face of my hard-earned (and expensive) belief that we don’t judge our insides with other people’s outsides. And as it turned out, hard-earned doesn’t always mean easily kept so there I was crying in my pizza along with him, failure that I was.

    Ok, I don’t totally hate the word success because it has some legitimate uses, but I hate using the word “success” to define a person’s place in life, or in contrast, to indirectly label, or imply, someone a failure. And I’m pretty much back to not judging my insides with other people’s outsides.

    Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
    And if you take an inch, give ’em back a mile
    ‘Cause if you lie like a rug and you don’t give a damn
    You’re never gonna be as happy as a clam

  18. A quotation from Montaigne

    There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
     
    [Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]

  20. In our world, we're conditioned from childhood to equate our self-worth with our results: good grades, career leaps, salary, the number of to-dos completed, even likes on a vacation photo...

    We only feel "valuable" when we've produced or achieved something

    STOP CHASING; START BEING.

  22. Prioritize your peace and self-worth by recognizing when to stop chasing validation. Your energy is valuable, invest it wisely where it's reciprocated. #SelfWorth #DatingAdvice #Boundaries #MindsetMatters #RelationshipTips

  23. My opinion: If I install and pay for dating apps: Tinder, Boo, Bumble; then basically the partner I find there isn't certain to be a partner. I think they are more like a product of those dating apps because we paid for our ads as customers. Our profiles are boosted, special perks like double verification ticks are enabled, and we paid for a list of who stalks our profiles. Now I realise why people hate dating apps. Now I realise why I have never found a partner from dating apps. Because my partner should never be a product, but a PARTNER, and full stop. Yeah.

  29. CW: // tw: s******l thoughts - viewer discretion advised

    Yes, many WhatsApp contacts viewed my stories, but no one supports me in return. My contributions have gone unappreciated. Not even Meta, my ISP, or DNS provider supports me. Isn't it ironic that people did not support me at all, yet at the same time prevented me from even considering suicide and from ending my life?

  30. I thought today was a good a day as any to start writing blog posts about ADHD and me. 😀

    It's a quick little post.

    I am looking for kind people, especially with #ADHD, to help me figure out if the thought is rubbish or not.
