Disciplined Rest
The idea that we currently live in the most stressful, confusing, and dangerous time in recent memory is very real to millions in the world. Our lives have been shut down, reopened, closed off, reformed, isolated, and drenched in living chaos in the midst of a global pandemic. In the meantime, everyday on social media I see reminders such as: drink more water, take vitamin D, and get my eight happy hours of beautiful undisturbed slumber. The band aids offered on social media do not solve the problem of how to deal with this constantly shifting world we’re all trying to safely navigate. We have yet to find a true north star that leads us all to a happy, and safe existence.

Be Happy And Give Us A Smile
At this time of year, most people are doing their best to be happy, to feel the season of goodwill, and so on. However, there are some people who still struggle to connect with that feeling, and it is not necessarily a seasonal issue; they simply struggle to feel good, and perhaps even to smile a little bit.

I’m Starting to Learn That I Don’t Have to React to Everything That Bothers Me
In the Zen tradition, there is a real art, that of "not giving importance" to things meant to hurt you, offensive words, people who want to hurt you. It is not easy to practice, but its effects on our lives are truly healing.

How Can You Relax After Stressful Days at Work?

2022: Resolving to Rest
I feel like I haven't actually rested since the pandemic basically took over the United States in March of 2020. A supermajority of 2020 was occupied by the ever-present thought that I had to do everything possible to protect my family from a pandemic level virus that was scouring the globe. I took on a massive amount of the household responsibility for my home and the home of vulnerable relatives. While doing all of this, I lived in a household that essentially didn't take my concerns seriously. They'd ask for my feelings when a potential problem would arise but only with the expectation that I bury how I truly felt to appease what they wanted. In 2020 I found myself in the most isolated position of my life.
