self care

Resistance is a marathon, not a sprint. Sometimes we have to pause and focus on our own resilience. That isn’t apathy, it’s essential! The key is to make a plan for getting back to the fight. Rest regularly, and have a plan to get re-involved. Some ideas:

  • schedule something on the calendar now to mark the end of your break.
  • Tell an activist friend you’re taking a break and ask them to check in with you after a period of time.
  • Schedule your break activities, and when they’re done, return to the fight.

Go to a Museum

Go to a museum. Visit a park. Ride the bus. If we don’t use public resources, they look expendable. When we appreciate them, we stand up for them. Pay admission, or check your city for “public access” dates. (In Seattle, that’s the first Thursday of each month.)
