Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.

: A crucial part of crop rotation is that the field is let fallow sometimes. You plant what’s called a “cover crop”, which is something you don’t expect to harvest– it’s there for its roots to hold the soil in place, and often it’ll be what’s called a nitrogen-fixer, i.e. a plant that can pull nitrogen out of the air and fix it into the soil with its roots (but sometimes it won’t, sometimes it’s really just there to shelter the soil surface), and then you’ll till in that cover crop, or let the frost kill it and the stalks lie as mulch, and then you’ll rotate productive crops back into that field the next season.

It’s important, though, to understand that during the fallow period, no nutrients are removed from that ground, and nothing is expected of it. Whatever the land grows then, it keeps, and it gets tilled back in or decomposes in place, to return its energy to the earth.

We’re not allowed, in our current society, to just let our minds be fallow for a bit, to produce nothing for export, to make nothing that can be sold. But it’s part of good land stewardship, to give every field time when it doesn’t need to give you anything back.

So yes, grow and produce different things from time to time, rotate them around your mind and exercise different mental muscles, take different things from your creative processes, yes– but also, give yourself a fallow spell now and again, and let the field of your mind grow things for itself to keep, to break down and save for later.

original by @foxes-in-love , one of my fav comics ever now w my fav characters ever

alonekaleidoscope

something that makes this campaign stands out against previous campaigns (to me, at least) is the increasingly complicated dynamics between the player characters. yes, ofc c1, c2, and c3 pcs all had different relationships with each other but they were mostly positive, if not extremely close friendships, much like the cast has with each other. c4 really allows them to test unexplored and sometimes unexpected negative dynamics. i think the cast knowing each other so well makes it incredibly impactful and powerful.

it’s so different from anything they’ve done before and i absolutely love it.

How devastating it must be to come to terms with the fact that your mother, the literal Goddess of Life, actually hated you because of the very fact that you were alive (and that meant potentially not doing what she wanted you to do)...

Surprisingly, this is not a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference, but an actual fact. From Burnout: Solve Your Stress Cycle, by Emily and Amelia Nagoski

What does it declare???

cookiedoughmeagain

“It will grab you by the face, shove you to the ground, put its foot on your chest, and declare itself the victor.”

The really interesting thing (imo) about this chapter of the book, is how it defines rest. It’s not talking just about sleeping, but also things like social connection and physical movement. So the 42% of your day that is rest might involve:

Meaningful conversation with someone you have a connection with

Exercising

Paying attention to your food, whether that’s shopping for it, cooking it or eating it

Socialising

Daydreaming

Each of us will need a different balance of these things, and each of these individual things will be different from person to person. The socialising and the meaningful connections might be IRL or it might be online - one of the examples in the book of something that counts as rest is “live-tweet Games of Thrones with a thousand fellow fans”.

It’s a really interesting book - definitely worth reading :)

(And Douglas Adams was obviously right all along - 42 is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything;)

My love of the tragic paladin trope grows. Eursulon, Kaladin, Absolute Wonder Woman, and now Azune ❤️

rabbit-exe

a thing I haven't seen pointed out much but that I think is fun is the way azune started to ever so slightly mimic the einfasens' accent over the conversation in the carriage. yet again the boy is making himself Shaped Like Them to subconsciously endear them to him!

Another silly ass low effort phm comic bc I keep thinking of this post and just cracking up at the mirror pronouns also being another level of codependency. Rocky and his bestie.
