Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I have a couple of go-to methods. When I have time and the weather is nice I visit my fav park, put up a hammock, smoke de ganja and just hang loose, watch birds, listen to music or meditate. Just walks out in nature are also great. I also like cooking and diying. Basically stuff that keeps my hands busy and my mind still. If I have money to spare I might get a massage. For things that trouble me and consume the energy that I would need for my day to day life I have found somatic shaking to be very beneficial.

But the most important part is to do all of these things consistently and not only as a last resort. Self care takes practice and it works for burnout prevention just as well as intervention.
