Love this idea of “pottering”—some of my favorite ways to potter is baking, doing a puzzle, playing with my dog, lazy Sundays spending hours reading. I never really thought about how these slow but slightly productive activities really are calming and soothing—I always bake when I feel stressed to relax!

Beautifully validating 💜 I contracted long-covid a few years ago, and the art of pottering has become a deep comfort. It’s lovely to have this way of moving around the world celebrated for what it is, and, crucially, celebrated as enough ! The pressure to do and be ‘more’ (absurd when I’m managing chronic illness, but sadly inescapable) remains something I must constantly try to balance with a this kind of deeper contentment. 🙏🏻
