I Released An Entire Book With 31 Illustrations That Includes Life Lessons From 2020
Being a dad to two tiny humans during 2020 has been super stressful in so many ways so I decided to create a daily illustration of inspirational life lessons I’ve learned this year to pass on to my kids to remind them of what’s really important for our future. Now it’s become an entire book that I’m giving away as a free download and hoping those who partake will also make a donation to CALM4Kids, a nonprofit here in Santa Barbara that helps kids who’ve been through trauma.

I have to do this since I have anxiety (don't know from what; it just showed up and reappears from time to time).

Walk outside in daylight as much as you possibly can. It works even better if you can go for walks in nature, even a park will do, or in a neighbourhood with gardens. We humans have not evolved since we were cave-dwellers but our ways of communicating knowledge and how to go from here to there have changed dramatically over the last few centuries. Our basic needs are the same and when in doubt, my rule of thumb is to always go back to what we would have done back in the cave-days. We always WALKED and we walked a lot! So, friends, take a walk, and even better, conspire with a friend or a neighbour to go together. Wear a mask and remember to keep at a distance unless you are from the same household.

There is a trash pile that is the size of Texas right now. Luckily people are cleaning it up.

poor marine creatures, we have to stop polluting but there are just some people who don't care which is why I want to start an organization that will help animals

It is to sell the point. YOU would tell people to clean up if you were standing in a pile of trash.

Some people have posting at social media as the bread and butter of their life, and getting paid for it. It is their job. Troll factories have employees churn out huge amounts of social media comments using thousands upon thousands of supposedly different accounts. They follow the recipe you see used by 'BoredPanda is awesome'. A very large number of harmless 'cute' comments that are basically void of content are then followed by a very different style of comment, with distinct meaningful content. Take a look at the racist comment to the "Speak Your Mind" drawing.

Honestly, sometimes you have to just breath through it. I know a lot of people are suffering right now, and there is this new idea of "how are you improving yourself" or "what are you learning" or "how are you making the most of..." I remember when my mom was dying my therapist was telling me I needed to cherish the time we had. It was the most horrific thing I have ever gone through and I have no desire to remember it. However, what I do have is the knowledge that I made her as comfortable and at peace as I could. Sometimes you just have to keep moving and see the present as temporary.

I have trouble from this. I deal with my emotions better by myself rather than with other people, but sometimes it becomes too much. I am not that social and am shy so I don't really feel comfortable talking to people.
aj B 5 years ago
As much as many of us would love to it's often a case of all or nothing. To hide your emotions you often have to hide from them. This doesn't apply to everyone but I've met a fair few who it is what they deal with. Now, try holding down a job interacting with the public where you Don't hide your emotions. Even a few tears is sufficient to get a write up at some of these places. Since you have to hide the emotion from others it's easier to bury it from yourself too.
