    Cancelling Lazy

    Let’s use the power of cancel culture to cancel “Lazy”. So many examples but I really liked the explanation in this ADHD video on how being labelled as lazy can turn into shame:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUsotGVqUy4 Thanks to Fresh Kils for the intro/outro music:  https://freshkils.bandcamp.com/music

    New Year’s Resolutions

    Some random thoughts around New Year’s Resolutions, chronic illness, the frustration of limits, and how “reasonable” just does not sound exciting.    Link to Lene’s thoughts on having a Plan A, B and C  http://theseatedview.com/2020/08/plan-for-the-curveball-to-live-well-with-ra.html And since I mentioned the previous episode with Lene so much, here is the link to that:  https://medicatedbabbling.podbean.com/e/covid-christmas-with-lene-andersen/   This month’s Dash of Happy is journaling.  I was inspired to give it a try after listening to the Awesomeology episode of Ologies https://www.alieward.com/ologies/awesomeology   Thanks to Fresh Kils for the intro/outro music:  https://freshkils.bandcamp.com/music

    Give Yourself a Break:

    Chronic illness is exhausting, we all need a break.    Lene’s article on the Mandatory Rest Period:  https://www.healthcentral.com/article/rheumatoid-arthritis-and-rest/?ap=420   Hidden Brain’s 6 minute listen on the Scarcity Mindset:  https://www.npr.org/2017/03/23/521195903/how-the-scarcity-mindset-can-make-problems-worse   And this month’s Dash of Happy is more like a Long Geeky Hug, but it’s a great video from Jessica Kellgren-Fozard.  Spoiler Alert: She thinks you’re great.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2H7upHDIM4   Thanks to Fresh Kils for the intro/outro music:  https://freshkils.bandcamp.com/music
