Shadow Work - is exploring, acknowledging, understanding, addressing, and integrating the unconscious aspects of oneself, such as repressed emotions, fears, pain, suffering, anger, frustration, love, and hate - to achieve personal growth, wholeness, and a more encompassing comprehension of our own reality.

selfcare
Just went for the first walk in way too long. I may not be the happiest about having a human body, but its all I got right now. Im realizing that I need to take care of it better if I want my time in it to at least be bearable. #selfcare #exercise #butidontwanna #selfcare #exercise #butidontwanna

Fitness as Self Care Instead of Punishment ❤️🩹
When you see exercise more as self-care, you are more likely to build a consistent routine that supports both physical and mental well-being.
💪 Exercise should support your body, not punish it
🏃 Movement is a way to invest in your well-being
😫 Punishment-based fitness often leads to burnout
❤️ Rest and recovery are part of self-care too

Dear #Fediverse:
Given the news in the last few days, I am encountering a lot of people who are seeking out #MentalHealth resources and #SelfCare techniques.
Can you help me add to the list? What resources do you recommend for people seeking mental health help?
How do you take care of yourself in tough times?
Over the years, I've learned a few things about self-care -- too often the hard way.
Check out some pointers that might work for you, too.

The #MondayMotivation post is up on #Patreon. This one is a little more introspective than most, but it's good to look at ourselves and our reactions from time to time. Stop by. #Freebie #SelfCare https://www.patreon.com/posts/monday-feed-fire-152066725?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
Heute war mal wieder Zeit für 4h #Selfcare.
Therme, Sauna, Dampfbad, Regeneration.
Richtig und wichtig.
This is what perfection looks like... When it inevitably meets reality.

Hi friends, just wanted to offer a gentle reminder that just because you've been friends with someone a long time, doesn't mean you have to keep being friends with them. If people treat you badly, it's okay to walk away. Others will love you in the way they didn't 💚 hold your head high.
Werde mich wohl, aus Selbstschutz, wieder mehr aus dem Leben allgemein zurückziehen.
Es passiert (familiär, finanziell, bürokratisch) eine scheiße nach der anderen, in den Nachrichten hört man auch nichts mehr positives außer Krieg, Mord & Totschlag & das man keine Zukunft mehr hat als junger Mensch & allgemein wird's Leben unerträglicher.
DMs sind offen oder halt andere Kanäle, wenn wir uns geaddet haben - ansonsten wird es eher ruhiger bei mir hier - aber ich bin nicht gänzlich weg #selfcare
I managed to meditate on 26 days in February. That makes an average of 20 minutes mindfulness practice per day. Really not bad, Toby, I kudo you for being kind to yourself. #meditation #mindfulness #selfcare
#Masturbation is #selfcare because everyone needs a nut sometimes.

I have been away for too long. Hope I can be active here again when I can.
At least I did some good things this month:
Maintenance'd the helluva of my custom PC, bye-bye dusts, corrected the GPU riser for PCIE to run full speed. Organized backups and partition drives.
Deleted Windows 11 forever
Install GrapheneOS on my stock Pixel
House chores and adulting
Giving my dog more love
Avoided USPol mayhem news for almost an entire month
Played cozy ACNH by terraforming the whole island
Survived TV marathon by watching nothing
Some sacrifices were made.
See, every now and then, the thing about taking a break can do good for your mental health when you are not actually glued to one particular thing.

I've been doing a lot of thinking around the nature of trust. I received the highly beneficial advice to think over who the most trustworthy people actually are, in my life. A diagram that looks like a bullseye was drawn, and I was invited to fill in actual names of people I know - where do they belong within the rings of the bullseye? The people in the middle are the most trustworthy, and the outermost rings are where the least trustworthy names go.
It was difficult to decide who's name belonged in which ring of the bullseye. So I assigned numbers to the rings of the bullseye. 1 was in the middle, 9 was right outside the bullseye. I then made a list of all the people I knew. I assigned them all numbers, then thought over the numbers, occasionally changing a number a little more or less.
When I was finished, I described the meaning of all the numbers, 1 through 9. This labeling made the most sense to me, to give more meaning to these numbers. Here they are:
1. Deep trust. Someone who totally accepts you as you are.
2. Someone who wouldn't betray you, has affinity with you, but you can't say they totally accept you as you are. They'd like to see you change.
3. A friend with a solid character, but affinity? Maybe.
4. A "fair-weather friend".
5. Any random stranger on the street. No positive or negative to speak of; still undefined and mysterious. No basis of judgement yet.
6. Negativity starts here, but it's very subtle and insidious; well hidden. Psychological predation and deception begins here. Plays mind games. Wants to come out looking better than you. Is certainly a "frenemy" or perhaps even worse, wants to turn you into a "flying monkey". A 6 has the mind of a perfect salesman or ambassador. Uses a lot of paltering; deceptive framing of everything. Plays on emotions a lot, seldom facts, unless they fit a narrative.
7. Corrupt. Has a mind of a racketeer.
8. Sketchy. Criminality begins here.
9. Predator. DANGEROUS
I need to start paying more attention to "glimmers".

For a piece about self-care and community care, I’m looking to talk to folks involved in local activism and community organising about how self-care can’t save us from fascism – but community support and getting involved in local organising *might* be able to.
If this is you and you’re up for answering some questions for me, please drop me an email at quinn@quinnrhodes.co.uk!
(And if this isn't you, please boost this post!)
I know mental health care talks a lot about self care but I think community care is just as important.
The Fedi is one of those space for me. Just talking to folks and meeting new people with similar interests and experiences without having to physically go to an event somewhere is so helpful for me.
And with that - thanks for being here. 💜🫶🏻💜

Dear All — I've posted some items today, and for the rest of the day, will likely be absent. As many of us are, I'm frankly washed out (and sick at heart) with news of recent days and need to take some self-mending time away from social media. There's a stack of interlibrary loan books at my elbow, demanding I read them before they become due, so my focus for the rest of the day will likely be on that reading. With good wishes to all.
Self help for today: 🤲🏼
Placing your hand(s) on your heart while taking 5 deep breaths activates your parasympathetic nervous system and releases oxytocin.
This gentle self-touch tells your brain that you are safe and loved. ❤️🫶🏼❤️
I love you. 🥰
BIG HEMP continues to hype CBD extracts from fertilizer-ladden mechanized crops that carry heavy metals and toxins, as hemp is one heck of a bioaccumulator.
The clean and effective ancestral cannabic medicine is made from artisanal organic flower, and darn simple to prepare at home for many health conditions.
In the post linked I explain all the scientifically proven properties of cannabis tea made from dry "recreative" flower.
It produces little to no high, since its THCa and CBDa based (acidic raw versions of THC and CBD).
