Re: not coping

Coming at you from all sides ay @outlander. Hard to get respite in our modern world, with so many obligations. Have I shared this with you before? The 7 types of rest? It's been soooo helpful for my own life, maybe it will be for you, too.

Re: not coping

i feel like i need all 7 @Jynx i sort of do all of them in smaller increments though already esp the active rest. i really enjoy the walks i take esp when i find a nice nature trail. its almost more like a mindfullness walk then anything else. i dont always get to and will just chuck my headphone in and go for a quick walk but it still often has the same effect.
the hardest one for me is the screen time one. not because im addicted to my phone but because i do alot of admin work so im often on the computer or when im studying so thats the hardest one but when im not at work then i often dont have my laptop out. when i went for medical treatment i dont think i really had any technology at all except my phone close by or the tv on low volume just for some background noise otherwise you go abit stir crazy looking at 4 walls.
i feel like the medical treatment gave me the 7 rest types but almost like it wasnt long enough, i cant be in hospital forever though!

Re: not coping

@outlander sometimes a reprieve is needed. If that is a hospital admission then so be it. It is great that you can see/feel within yourself that something needs to happen. You can't just keep going like this.

Sending lots of love and hugs 💜💜
