Rest as restorative

I’ve put a miro template together for this activity. If you want to give it a go for yourself you can see it here: https://miro.com/miroverse/rest-activity-template/

Thank you so much for your readership and support, I appreciate you more than I can say <3

I’ve been doomscrolling a lot recently. Doomscrolling and playing Stardew Valley.

The line between distraction and dissociation is so thin for me. There’s nothing wrong with distraction at times, sometimes it’s the only way to get your brain to shut up. The problem is when it becomes the default response, and then you start dissociating from everything. It’s not restful, you’re mostly in standby mode. There’s no connection to yourself, so you can’t feel rested, it’s just a way of losing time.
