Any other neurodivergent people feel guilty about relaxing?
Whenever I have the opportunity to do nothing, my brain immediately starts inventing things that I should be doing.
It goes further than simply needing stimulation, my own internalised ableism tried to tell me that the only time I have value is when I'm being productive.
I'm going to attempt to finish reading the book I'm currently reading (about 35% into it) and complete a second book by Monday. This will be predicated upon my ability to get to the beach early & read uninterrupted for the bulk of the day. Wish me luck!
Good morning and happy Sunday everyone on the #Fediverse.
Let’s start off this beautiful day with our #KoffeeWithKyle chat to share what everyone’s plans are for today.
I am just waking up as I need the sleep. Have God’s nectar brewing and waiting to have that first sip! Not sure what we have planned for today. Might just be a day of relaxing.
I could probably already say that #mushroom picking is my #hobby. As soon as I close my laptop, I go to the nearby #forest. Yesterday's catch is on the left, #today's catch on the right. Tooth fungus grows in the middle of moss and grass, sometimes grass even grows inside of a mushroom. This is #relaxing after a #stressful day at #work. #food#nature#suomimastodon#finland
Here's a video of Steve Jobs showcasing a new feature in iTunes... podcasts!
"You could try to sell podcasts but the whole phenomenon is so great - it's free. And I think what we're going to see is an advertising-supported model emerge, just like free radio."
Apparently the term 'podcast' is a portmanteau of 'iPod' and 'broadcasting'. Here, Steve picks the latest episode from the Adam Curry Podcast and is quick to hit the stop button. 😆
Speaking of podcasts, Poetry Unbound is a lovely relaxing listen. It's a gateway into poetry for those that haven't yet found an appreciation for it and an audio-booster for those that already enjoy poetry.
I was thinking of walking to the nearest cafe to read blogs and journal but realize I have a perfectly good spot in my apartment to do that. If you have been following my #BalconyNest posts, the nest is at the upper right corner of the pic, hanging from the plant.
I ❤ my apartment #SundayVibes#Journaling#Relaxing#Reading
