Be the author of your own days

One thing that is helping with my anxiety recently is realising that I dont have to blindly follow the dictates of society, particularly one which seems so against my values in terms of its perpetual extraction from the environment and slavish allegience to growth at all costs. I've had a virus for the last few weeks, and this time has allowed some withdrawal into books and my art work. This, coupled with treating the internet as a badland that's not doing my brain any good, has created a calm over the last couple of days that I feared I would not experience again. Today, I've been in my chilly, but sunny garden, sowing seeds for the season ahead, so I can grow some fruit and vegetables over the summer. I am becoming the author of my own days and taking charge of my mental wellbeing, and it seems like the right move to make.
