    When I feel resistance to leaving the house, it can be hard to understand if it's a legitimate reason or if I am just avoiding the transition of having to put on pants. Today, I share my strategies in checking in to decide if I should stay or go with the least amount of regret possible.

  • 654 || the weight of the weighted blanket

    ever look at all the stuff you need to do and feel your ability to do anything about it fully SHUT DOWN? Just me? Finding my fight with executive dysfunction to be a very complicated one, what worked last week has little effect for this one. So instead of life hacking, I am showing up in whatever way I can.

  • 651 || when we're unaware that we're unaware

    Most people aren't self-aware about how much they lack self-awareness. Here's how to build that:

    1. listen to honest feedback without judgement.
    2. practice pausing between reactions to emotions.
    3. learn how to identify emotions, in real time.
    4. build empathy through diversifying your literature/content intake.
    5. model your EQ after others with admirable qualities.

  • 650 || revolutionary love

    Josefin Hedlund rocked me with this mind-blowing article: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/transformation/revolutionary-love/ and I had to share it with you.


    "Instead of seeing love as some mystical thing that just happens to us, we should follow Bell Hooks idea in All About Love and see love as a verb. It is a practice that we do, and that we have been socialized into doing differently along gender lines. Hooks points out how patriarchal capitalist society promotes love as dominating, competing and a 'property-style' care relationship. Men are of course best at practicing love in this way, and hooks is very skeptical of how manipulating and dominating is so intertwined with masculinity and heterosexual dynamics."
