Ambient or Active? Why getting rest that restores might look different than you think.

How active rest can repair the ravages of burnout, and tame the ambient screen wormhole.

Right in the middle of @chloeshayden ‘s great post is a sentence that hit like a brick. To all of us who have to pre-think how distressed to appear in a GP visit so we get the referral or tests we need, for the invisible disability folks who get snarkily questioned when we use disability accommodations, for the undiagnosed humans (and even the diagnosed ones) wondering they’re gaslighting themselves about their neurodivergence because other people have it worse…. I see you ❤️‍🔥 in the magnificent words of an old friend, “just because some people have it worse doesn’t make it okay”.

Still thinking about burnout - about deep rest (midwinter hibernation anyone?), about inequality and structural reasons for our overwhelm, as well as about the biology of what's happening - being stuck in fight or flight and getting more and more tangled the more we try to save ourselves.
