The Open Question May 6: What keeps you sane? Hey y'all,
The week alone: Iran "ceasefire"? (and gas at $4.46), Pope and Trump at odds, AI doomers and accelerationists, is equity racism?... sometimes it feels like the the heartache is too great. What I want to explore together is what keeps you sane in the midst of all this upheaval? (assuming you are 😅)
So this week, "what keeps you sane?"
variations:
- What "sanity" habits do you suspect aren't actually working, but you keep doing anyway? (btw, what's it actually giving you that you can't get any other way? And what's the thing underneath that you're not looking at?)
- How do you recover when you find yourself despairing?
- What's the gap between what you tell people you do for sanity and what you actually do?
What's yours? Personal, specific, better than 'profound'. Beyond "self-care" or "stress management" or answers we give in job interviews. My family does three things we're grateful at dinner.
Lots of love, and see (some of) you at 5p central today.
