Productivity
fromSilicon Canals

Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
30 minutes agoThere's a type of person who only feels permission to rest when they're physically sick, and the illness isn't the problem.

Sickness is often the only socially acceptable reason for rest, revealing deep-rooted beliefs about productivity and morality.
Psychology

6 hours agoPsychology says the people who age most visibly aren't the ones with the hardest lives - they're the ones who never learned to put things down, who carried every disappointment and every grievance and every unfairness forward into the next decade, and the carrying shows, eventually, in ways that no amount of sleep or skincare has ever been shown to address - Silicon Canals
Chronic psychological stress and the inability to release emotional burdens accelerate aging and impact physical appearance.

Mindfulness
fromSilicon Canals
6 hours agoI'm 66 and the most important thing I have done for myself in the last decade is learn to sit in a room alone without immediately filling it with something - without the television, the phone, the task - just the room and the light and whatever arrives in the quiet, and what arrives, it turns out, is mostly myself, and mostly myself is more than enough company - Silicon Canals
Learning to sit in silence and embrace stillness can be transformative and essential for personal growth.
