"I don't answer work-related phone calls, texts, emails, etc. outside of work hours. Whatever it is can wait until the next time I'm at work."

"I'm setting a timer. When the timer goes off, it's time to stop playing that video game, because otherwise I know I won't get anything else done today."

"I will cook for myself, with what I have in the fridge, so that I don't order out. I spent way too much last month on takeout."

"I will not let myself doomscroll all day long."

"When Chicken Little posts about how the sky is falling, I will take a minute to fact-check before I panic. And it may be in my best interests to unfollow or mute Chicken Little."

"I will unfollow those thinspo and fitspo accounts that trigger my body-image issues."

"I will make myself take a shower, and I will figure out what makes showering hard for me, so I can make it easier. I can sit or lie down, for example."

"This weekend is for resting. Not going out, not "catching up" on whatever I didn't get to during the week, just resting."

You deserve rest. You deserve a break. A day off. Hollidays. Weekends. An hour to yourself. Cozy evenings. Life is not about only being productive.

Here's to the disabled people who aren't inspirations. Who aren't "overcoming their diagnosis" and achieving incredible things "despite their disability." Here's to the people struggling in school. Here's to the people on sick leave. Here's to the dropouts. The unemployed. The ones on welfare and disability. The ones who are economically dependent on others. The ones in the hospitals and the group homes. Here's to the ones whose struggles aren't lessened by extraordinary abilities and achievements. Here's to the ones struggling - and failing - to be average. I see you, and I hope you know that you are just as worthy of respect, support and compassion as anybody else - cause you are! Not being able to do certain things doesn't make you less of a person.
