today's Monday Motivation! is for Struggling People of Global Majority {"BIPOC"} only.
"Struggling"? you can define that for yourself.
i tend to think of: Unhoused, Impoverished, "Mentally Ill" / Mad / Disabled / chronically ill, trans, queer...
{ * i think a LOT of neuro-atypical people can be very privileged. "a lot" & "can be" does NOT mean "everybody"! }
Question for Struggling People of Global Majority {"BIPOC"} —
When was the last time you took an entire hour to just slow down & rest?
If this feels hard for you, that's totally understandable — especially in our oppressive white supremacist capitalist system.
Maybe you can spend this time to contemplate what rest means to you.
— How do you define rest for yourself?
It could be anything!
It can even be something that takes a lot of energy, & exhausts you {for example, moving your body in a way that you enjoy, if you are enabled to}.
It could be laying down & doing nothing.
It could be doing something!
It's all up to you.
I recognize that not everybody has the privilege of having an entire free hour of free time, or even 10 minutes.
Can you take 5 minutes?
60 seconds?
To catch your breath?
Slow down for 10 seconds?
I hope you can take a rest soon.
Take care. ❣️ [red heart exclamation point emoji]
