look at this tiny tiny ancient depiction of a goose sheltering babies beneath her wings. đ„ș
itâs not very detailed but look at the postures of the animals. And the way the goslings are not very young but recognisable as gangly and halfway grown.
Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.
If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If youâre fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.
Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, itâs something else.
That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.
at Jimmy Buffetâs Margaritaville rn and iâm wondering why more musicians donât have their own restaurants. i would eat at Trent Reznorâs Tavern of Terror
Me: I donât get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. Iâm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, itâs the fascism. Youâre completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and youâre also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means youâre going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Had this idea in my head for a while now. Finally gave it a go. Though my original idea was of a caged tiger, it somehow became birds as I sketched. Maybe Iâll make another version with a tiger in the future~
