Your Nervous System Needs a Little Treat
This Is Not a Productivity Hack
This is not about discipline.
This is not a routine.
This is not a 5am miracle morning.
This is about giving your nervous system…
a little treat.
Signs You Are Overdue for a Little Treat
You sigh when your phone buzzes.
You’re tired but wired.
You open the fridge and forget why.
You feel personally victimised by emails.
You fantasise about running away but not packing.
Yes.
This post is for you.
A Little Treat Is Not a Reward
You don’t earn it.
You don’t deserve it more after suffering.
You don’t have to be “good.”
A little treat is maintenance.
Like charging your phone.
Except the phone is your soul.
Examples of Acceptable Little Treats
- Going outside for no reason
- Drinking something fizzy
- Standing in the sun like a cat
- Moving your body weirdly
- Laughing at something stupid
- Doing nothing on purpose
If it makes you feel 3% better, it counts.
You Are Allowed to Enjoy Your Life Today
Not later.
Not when you’re healed.
Not when you’ve figured everything out.
Today.
Joy is not a distraction from healing.
It’s part of it.
