I confuse self-care with checking out

Diagnosis

Checking out is not care. Care is what makes you more able tomorrow. Sleep, food, movement, silence, a real friend. If your recovery requires you to hide, it is not recovery. It is anesthesia.

Protocol · 0 / 3

1. 1Replace one numbing habit this week with a restoring one: walk, sleep, Word, water, a person.
2. 2Write what actually restores you versus what only pauses the feeling.
3. 3Protect it on the calendar like a meeting with someone you respect.

The standard: Recovery that makes you more dangerous to your problems, not more absent from your life.

“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, 'Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.'”

Mark 6:31
