A quick #75soft update for @AllDebooks
I‘m really enjoying this! I‘m (loosely) following the framework at https://www.theshabbycreekcottage.com/75soft.html as is - no intentions, no goals, just checking in with each point each day & recognising what I need.
So far, the meditation & journaling have been the real big deals for me - taking time to check in with myself, see how I‘m doing, & look at the things that need addressing.
Thank you ☺️
Here we go. Day 1 of Gina Luker's #75soft framework.
I've had a calm morning. I've set my intentions (sounds less stressful than goals, right?).
I really have been 'panic reading' over the last six months. I am tearing through book after book for a distraction. It's not helping. So, I'm going to slow my pace, choose books carefully around mood or curiosity, & read mindfully.
🤞 that works, cos my mind is frazzled rn.

It was delete day at the library where I work. I ran into a staff member from another department of the college when I was taking the weeded items to the free table, and she was definitely looking forward to taking a look through them! I waited until others had their chance and then grabbed a couple for myself when I was on my way home #BookHaul
so-soI‘m pretty torn on this book. There is a large amount of privilege of slowing down generally. However, this is more of a self help book then having large societal changes. So I have been doing meditation twice a day, yoga every morning, and driving more slowly. I have seen a general happiness from these acts. I suggest this if you‘re feeling like time is constantly slipping away from you.
