To Put It Very Bluntly.

When it comes to tumblr posts that rewire your brain, I really do appreciate "you could if you weren't a fucking coward".

It's far too easy to rule off entire options in life by saying that you can't do something. Like that's too absolute, you're not just closing a door on it but laying brick over the door like the door was never there in the first place. It's dangerous to think "I can't", you'll believe it.

It's much more useful to be able to look at something and think: "I could do that, but I don't want to deal with the consequences of doing that." It's a bad option, but it is an option. You're actively choosing to do something else than that one.

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

Do you feel, like, constantly overwhelmed? Unable to focus on tasks and self-care like showering? Have I got the tip for you

I recently got put on this method through a YouTube video recommended to me called the Sharp Ax method. Name doesn't matter, I'm gonna skip right to telling you what to do.

You have a notebook? Maybe one that you've horded and used once or twice before abandoning? Grab that shit. Get your favorite pen. At the top of the page you're going to write "Brain Dump". For like, 10-15 minutes, just sit there and write down every thought that comes to mind. Does your back hurt? Write it. Do you have to make breakfast? Write it.

But here's the thing: if there's something you need to do (paperwork, showering, shopping, etc) you're gonna write it like this.

"I want to shower." "I want to check the mailbox." "I want to do my laundry today."

For whatever reason, reframing things you need to do as things you want to do has helped me so immensely, and even when I can't finish all the things I want to finish, I still feel good for finishing the ones I was able to.

This stupidly simple journaling technique (which doesn't even feel like journalling to me) has caused me to go from being chronically overwhelmed to feeling like, even just for a little bit, everything is going to be okay.

not having the courtesy to send rejection letters should count against your reputation as a company and i’m so serious about that

STOP SCROLLING!

You are doing such a good job handling all of the difficulties in your life! You are handling things way better than you think you are. You are here today. Give yourself credit for that.

That’s it. I just wanted to let you know that. You can continue your scrolling now🍀🕊

Interesting.

get it done the weird way. do it in parts. do it “wrong”. do it “late”. do it scared. it’s just better to do it differently than everyone else rather than never do it.
