Make Your Damn Bed

Sometimes when we’re on the road to self compassion and healing we start to realize a lot of the people around us aren’t able to do that same journey with us. Sometimes, that may cause us to want to interfere and help them develop more quickly. But from our own healing journeys, we know its a very personal and intimate process that can only be done on one’s own. So let people heal on their own and if you find yourself concerned about other people, return that focus to yourself.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder is a legitimate piece of advice. If you find yourself perpetually dreading your job, partner, life, friend, or whatever and you don’t have a legitimate reason why? Maybe, you’re just burnt out.

Vacations are essential to our wellbeing and that includes vacationing from our daily routines. If you’ve been doing too much scrolling, too much TV, too much smoking, too much drinking, too much complaining - take a step back and redirect those habits into different ones for a while until you can look forward to them again.

If you want to enjoy yourself more and get more out of your day to day life? Start doing your best work. No matter how dreadful the task, bring your A-game to it. Pretend f or a moment that you don’t have to do it, you get to do it. Same rules as always apply - don’t push yourself beyond your capacity and make sure you’re filling your cup first - but instead of bringing negative energy to the things ahead of you, practice embracing them fully. This means some days your best will look worse than others - and you must practice compassion for yourself when that happens - but if you can fully commit yourself to whatever is in front of you at any moment, you will find more peace in the daily grind. 

Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning.

Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy habits of your choosing into your daily life. Build momentum - better your life.

Find ways to cut corners that work for you. Don’t stress or overwhelm yourself with this process - it’s actually a capitalistic mentality to believe you can solve the world’s problems all by yourself - but if you can manage to cut a few unnecessary purchases out of your life? Why not? Put that money towards the stuff that is important to you - like traveling, saving, investing, or donating to an important cause.

Practice not checking your phone when you get an alert. See how long you can go without picking it up after you receive a notification. Specify certain times to check and respond to emails. Turn on do not disturb mode when you need breaks and on off hours. Inform people you’ll respond within 48-72 hours when you send emails if that makes you feel better, but stop feeling obligated to immediately respond to every single thing that demands your attention.

We’re all taught to self loathe and rarely are we taught how to invest. We are all well aware of how to get access to the latest fashion trends and make up tutorials but very few of us have any idea on how to get access to the local financial trends and investing tutorials. We can get makeup at every single corner store but good luck finding a bank that isn’t privately owned. It’s a trick. We’ve all been brainwashed and we’re attempting to buy back normalcy and equity through trends and temporary fixes but that won’t ever work. Next time you’re feeling insecure skip the new lash trend and stick that money in a stock with dividends instead. See if focusing your income on your future makes you feel even better than an unrealistic beauty standard ever could.

Gender, sexuality, and identity is fluid for so many of us. It may change over time and we should be open to that reality for everyone’s best interest. The more we live with acceptance, openness, and compassion, the more the world can begin to heal and focus on the shit that really matters instead of bullshit gender roles. Remember what we said yesterday, too - if your feminism isn’t intersectional - it’s bullshit.

Social activist Suad Abdul Khabeer said on Twitter, “You don’t have to be the voice for the voiceless, just pass the mic.” So today, I want to pass the mic to some queer, BIPOC voices that have made an incredible impact on my understanding of this concept.

I wanted to start with Intersectionality matters - is a podcast hosted by Kimberlé Crenshaw, an American civil rights advocate and a leading scholar of critical race theory.

Next I wanted to highlight, Sessions with my therapists - podcast about two dope Black women who found healing and happiness through therapy. Angela is queer and they’re both so open and comfortable it’s like listening in on a friend’s conversation.

The podcast Nancy is also really dope - Queer, Asian Americans Kathy Tu and Tobin Low share really great, personal stories and have some really cool guests on there.

The Queer Arabs podcast is a growing collection of dialogues surrounding the intersection of Middle Eastern/Southwest Asian + North African and LGBTQ identities. Recording in English and Arabic, with hosts based in the US and guests based all over, the podcast highlights queer artists, activists, and others who speak on behalf of racial justice, gender liberation, and sex positivity.

Food 4 Thot A roundtable discussion podcast wherein a multiracial mix of queer writers talk sex, relationships, race, identity, what they like to read, and who they like to read. The red nation podcast The Red Nation Podcast features discussions on Indigenous history, politics, and culture from a left perspective. QueerWOC is a space for queer women and folks of color rooted in reimagining healing, organizing, and community.

These podcasts are just a few examples of incredible content presented by Black, Indigenous, People of Color. If you have any other media or content suggested by voices that you believe deserve the spotlight, please don’t hesitate to reach out and share those with me so I can feature them on our Instagram.
