Take an inventory of activities over a week (up to 30), and put a number beside each one - 1 for miserable, and 5 for extremely enjoyable. Simply bringing awareness and inquiry is the goal. 2. Create opportunities to rupture connections to frenzy. Microhabits of flow that can build up over time. Tell people that it's not just self-care, but collective movement-building work. 3. When requesting work from someone, don't ask for it to be completed sooner, but ask how something can be completed with deeper meaning, purpose and intentionality. > Just asking how we might cultivate flow in our work and in our lives will create the space we all need to reimagine social change. Remember, justice and freedom are not just the absence of oppression, but rather they're the ability to truly create the type of world we envision. How a martyr culture is maintained: - The line "rest in peace" is reserved for funerals. - We have tons of coffee shops feeding us caffeine, but nowhere we can go take a drink that makes us sleepy and have a nap. Questions to ask yourself: - What is my relationship to rest? - Do I think that rest isn't important, or that it takes time from other activities? - Where did I learn these messages from? - Do I get enough rest? - How do I rest? - What is my favourite type of rest? - What was the worst rest I ever had? - What gets in the way of my rest? Make an inventory of rest habits. Do I keep my phone beside me all the time? Is it draining my rest, because I'm thinking of what messages I might be getting? Form a "radical rest" group of colleagues to meet once a month, whose purpose is to explore the significance of rest in our efforts for social change. > Remember rest inequality is not just a personal choice but rather a result of structural inequality and cultural beliefs. # Quotes # References
