Mandy Brown on persistent return vs the streak/failure paradigm

'The problem I want to draw your attention to isn’t the interruption of the habit—which was inevitable—but the fact that the streak mentality transforms an interruption, a pause, into a failure...A habit isn’t built on successive days or weeks, enumerated and enumerable. A habit is built on the movement of return. It’s coming back to something, again and again'

Choosing to prioritise rest, self compassion, and nourishing ourselves is PUNK AS FUCK in a society that tells us to push ourselves to breaking point.

For those of us from marginalised backgrounds, resting and self care can be vital acts of resistance against a system that seeks to demean us.

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare" - Audre Lorde: A Burst of Light and Other Essays
