ah thank you! i’m hoping to put out more episodes in the new year :)

this isn’t even girl math, though perhaps we can call it therapist math?

(physical for me, btw—i'm sleepy as hell)

i've got so much more to say here—there's so much nuance to what our capacities look like and how feasible it is to honour them.

but for now—which of your capacities needs tending to today?

at the same time, there's often something small we can do to honour where we're at. it may not be "enough" to feel 100% okay, but hey, if your car is running on empty and you need to get somewhere, filling it up even a little bit will get you farther than not at all

i'll be the first to say that listening to our capacity can be simply the most annoying, especially when we find that it's a LOT less than we would want it to be (or even a lot less than we NEED it to be)

physical capacity //

does your body feel rested, or are you already reaching for your third cup of coffee?

are you tuning in to what your body is asking for—whether it’s rest, movement, or nourishment?

what's one small way you can tend to those needs today?

emotional capacity //

have you been holding space for everyone but yourself?

is there something that's been feeling heavier than usual?

what emotion could use your attention today? and who could you share it with?

mental capacity //

does it feel like your brain has way too many tabs open?

is your day ahead filled with thinking tasks and decision-making? or was the weekend already filled with more thought-heavy stuff than you anticipated?

what would help your mind feel a bit lighter? (rotting is valid)

time capacity //

does your to-do list today feel like it's breathing down your neck?

how does the number of tasks you have for today compare to the actual time you can spend getting them done?

what can you let go of?
