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
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

MODERATORS
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.
