My favorite practice of late 💜

... Read moreThe Pleasur-istance Sandwich is a unique self-care practice that encourages individuals to find pleasure amidst hardship. The approach involves two key elements: engaging in a pleasurable activity followed by an action that supports positive change. For example, one might take a moment to enjoy a delightful cup of tea or gaze at the sky, then follow that with a positive act, like reaching out to someone in need or participating in community advocacy. This dual approach not only fosters personal joy but also creates a ripple effect, helping those who might be struggling. By acknowledging our own pleasure, we build resilience, enabling us to face challenges more effectively. In these times of crisis and negativity, practices like the Pleasur-istance Sandwich remind us of the importance of self-care. It encourages balance and shifts our focus from despair to hope. It's crucial to remember that by taking care of ourselves, we prepare ourselves to support others and make a meaningful impact in our communities. So, if you're seeking ways to enhance your mental well-being, consider giving this practice a try. Share your experiences and let the community know how you feel about this approach to self-care!

Apps I use to practice speaking Spanish
Speaking is a big part of learning a language. The BIGGEST PART. Speak regularly to make sure the language sticks and find someone who will be patient enough to help you. The two apps I talked about are my favorite. I use Hilokal regularly for listening to natives since I’m still shy and can’t
