i want to learn to validate the anxious feelings that keep me procrastinating rather than trying to squash them away
& i want to learn to use self-compassion to (lovingly) undermine my urge to invest self-worth in outcome. because that seems like a major subconscious reason behind my procrastination: the task becomes overwhelming because i’m letting it define me. this blog post says procrastination is actually a signal that we need more self-care and self-compassion. it’s not always showing a lack of time management (though that can play a part) – if i saw my tasks as not determining my worth or ability but just as something to do, something i could potentially enjoy intrinsically, i wouldn’t feel this level of anxiety
healthy self-appreciation is interconnected with others. just as we can offer ourselves self-compassion for our inadequacies and mistakes by remembering that it makes us human, and is thus a point of connection, we can learn to shine knowing that it’s connected with others.Â
“If you take the notion of interbeing seriously, then celebrating your achievements is no more self-centred than having compassion for your failings. We can’t really claim personal responsibility for our gifts and talents. They were born from our ancestral gene pool, the love and nurturing of our parents, the generosity of friends, the guidance of teachers, and the wisdom of our collective culture. A unique nexus of causes and conditions went into creating the ever-evolving person we are. Appreciation for our good qualities, then, is really an expression of gratitude for all that has shaped us as individuals and as a species. Self-appreciation humbly honours all of creation.” (Self-Compassion, Kristin Neff)
what can we do to help amazon? everyone is saying that no-one gives a fuck about it, but no one is giving information how to help the situation :(
The “no-on gives a fuck” is about worldwide media not talking about this. But it’s really nice of you to want to help us.
You can donate here if you want to help stop the exploitation and deforestation of Amazon. The president, who calls himself “Captain Eletric Saw,” allows the exploitation and destruction of the Amazon for economic ends.
You can also donate to SOS AMAZONIA here. They are the biggest NGO in Brazil and they work with implantation of public policies that aims into preservation of the Amazon and it’s people.
They are both helping the Amazon right now!
Always good to remember: USD$1,00 = RS$4,04 and €1,00 = RS$4,48. So, even if you can help just a tiny bit, it will help us a lot!

Hi guys, as you may recall, Wafaa (@wafans-blog) recently got in contact with her brother Muhammad and sister Shaima, who thankfully are unharmed with their spouses and children. Wafaa is verified on @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi's vetted spreadsheet (family number #171).
The campaign has been stagnating for more than 12 hours now, I cannot impress upon you more that this pair of brother and sister, who have 10 children in total, need your help to evacuate their children and keep them safe.
A trauma surgeon at a Khan Younis field hospital reported late last night that the iof repeatedly and fatally targets children by "firing directly at their head and chest" especially during this new round of offenses in Khan Younis. Please don't only be mobilized by tragedy. Help now.
Muhammad hopes that his newborn son, Salem, who only a few weeks old, can evacuate with Wafaa's family who has raised their evacuation fees. Salem is a priority concern because the overwhelmed hospital in Khan Younis does not have vaccines for him, making him especially susceptible to viral infections that have been spreading among the al-Mawasi camp.
liberals be like: who wants to get evicted at gun point because your poor, but by a good cop!!!
