@Akili Li Those are great tips. I am studying Korean, and that's helping, especially with the cognitive decline/dysfunction that accompanies depression. I'm going to Kathak classes but it's only eight classes and I'll have to look into something more regular. But it is interesting in that it's given me something new for my brain to chew on re: rhythm. My usual workout, twice a week, is poledancing, and that works wonderfully because there's no space for thoughts, I have to focus on what each part of my body is doing.
For a long time I couldn't read at all because the trigger for this spiral was losing a dream job in the literary arts, but I'm getting better now and I'm able to read. It ebbs and flows a little, though, and while it's not the joyous activity it used to be, choosing books based on the mood I want to evoke is such a smart idea and definitely doable for me. Do you have a goodreads, storygraph or something similar where you recommend or record your reading? I would love to get book recs from you.
@Outline the fool card being a ferret reminds me of the
Hush Tarot! I have this deck, I love tarot and I collect decks (although I can't afford many of them). I'd love to see your art of the card once it's done.
