new piece by @jack

i was just talking about this yesterday and how it can relate to the nervous system…

“The habit of waiting until the last minute to complete a task is often tied to how our nervous system reacts to stress and pressure.

Freeze Response

When tasks feel overwhelming or stressful, your nervous system might go into freeze mode. This can make you feel stuck, unable to take action, and avoid the task altogether.

Fight or Flight Activation

Waiting until the deadline creates urgency, which activates your fight-or-flight response. The stress hormones released during this state (like adrenaline) help you break through the freeze and focus on getting the task done.

Fear and Overwhelm

Procrastination can also stem from fear of failure or feeling overwhelmed by the task. Deadlines simplify the situation and provide a clear boundary, making it easier to act under pressure.

This cycle is your brain’s way of trying to cope with stress.”

do you work like this?
If my health insurance application doesn't go through with the broken plain text site I'll figure out how to set up a virtual machine in the US using Digital Ocean and see if the CareFirst site can be accessed normally.

TIL about mukhwa!

Mukhwas is a traditional Indian after-meal treat that typically contains a blend of seeds, herbs, and spices. It's rooted in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian system of medicine that emphasizes the use of natural remedies

before all this trauma healing my nervous system was so frozen that every task required a massive battle against myself. it was like i subconsciously associated action with death and my body and mind were doing everything possible to keep me still. and it was killing me

i was too foggy, sick, and fatigued to take care of myself and my life, and was falling more and more behind

i used to use deadlines to switch from freeze mode to fight-or-flight and get some things done in a panic, but even that trick wore out (adrenal fatigue perhaps?)

i didn’t realize how bad it was until i started to experience the opposite…

now if there’s something i want to get done, i just do it. no battling myself, stressing, or budgeting my energy. it’s easy and light

i’ve been running and strength training. fixing things around the house, deep cleaning, gardening, and keeping up with the laundry. and all the self care

once i’ve caught up to a maintenance level with my health and home, i’ll add another category!

with the emdr video i use to process trauma and difficult emotions, you watch a colour-changing ball go back and forth (pong vibes) and you’re supposed to say the colours out loud. sometimes i start to disassociate and just name random colours instead

it’s interesting to observe because it’s so obvious when it happens and kind of silly—you’re naming incorrect colours—and then you can correct it immediately, unlike life where it’s easier to stay on autopilot sometimes

it’s crucial to stay present during emdr and complete the whole process. if you disassociate you risk reinforcing the trauma or getting stuck in a negative disassociated state rather than moving all the way through the emotion

if you’re brave enough to stay present and complete the process, you can feel completely neutral or even positive about a past trauma, which is an incredible feeling!!

this is just a clip. the full version can be dowloaded from their youtube link

Suppressing or masking your neurodivergence has been scientifically linked to the following health conditions:

1. Chronic Stress and Burnout
2. Anxiety Disorders
3. Depression
4. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
5. Cardiovascular Disease (e.g., hypertension, heart disease)
6. Autoimmune Disorders
7. Chronic Pain Syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia)
8. Gastrointestinal Issues (e.g., IBS)
9. Sleep Disorders (e.g., insomnia, disrupted sleep cycles)
10. Substance Use Disorders

These conditions result from the prolonged mental and physical toll of emotional suppression, heightened vigilance, and living out of alignment with one’s authentic self.

Settle for someone who gives you enough assurance for you to avoid overthinking. Find someone that boosts your self-confidence and won't let you feel insecure. Someone that is willing to comfort and understand you when you're struggling or don't have the energy to talk. We all deserve that someone.
6. have a spot you can walk to when life feels like it's imploding

21. make eliminating recurring frustrations priority one

26. live beneath your means

Dear whoever's watching this right now:

You don't need to scroll any further.

In fact, you shouldn't.

There's nothing for you here. It's the old stuff.

It's your friends doing things without you. It's celebrities you think you care about that have no idea you exist. It's a brand trying to sell you stuff.

It's your fear of missing out on rearing its ugly head and making you stay longer than you should.

To this app and to this device that you're holding, you're nothing more than a number.

A line of code. Data is information people use to profit off of.

But off their device, in the real world, you're a person.

A person with wants, needs, feelings, and dreams.

So go be a person. Not a line of code.

Thank you for watching. I hope this helped, and remember...

Keep scrolling mindfully.
