Hi! I’m working on an item for a friend, and was looking for help. The general idea is going to be a small box with index cards inside, each index card will have a small note written on it on one side, and on the other side a miniature painting, then I’ll laminate the cards. What I need help with is the notes on the index cards. The concept behind the cards is 1. That I dont want him to change, I like him exactly how he is but that if he ever needs a reminder that it’s okay to have rest days, he can open this box and read a card to get that. and 2. he doesn’t need to feel guilty when he enjoys himself, and that a lack of productivity doesnt remove his achievements. I didnt want to make the cards too overly serious, or too mushy, so some of my index cards so far are funny/sexual, or scientific, and some are more personal. I could really use some help thinking of some additional index cards though, I’ve only got about 15 so far and I’m not really sure if thats enough? Here is what I have: You are a grown adult man who is allowed to do whatever he wants on any given day, including lay in bed or play WoW. When you told me you were tired and overwhelmed, I gave you space and things to help and never judged you. Anyone who loves you will always understand that, and will not make you feel bad for needing days off. Resting is important to stay healthy, youre actually just trying to live longer. Stress ages you, you need a day off to avoid wrinkles. Rest days allow your nervous system to reset and improve your sleep. Rest days make you less grumpy You can see me on rest days sometimes (if you want to, you don’t have to), and I’ll empty your balls (if you want me to, I don’t have to) but no matter what hanging out with me is for the greatest good. Rest days help your immune system Your life should not be led by the wants or expectations placed upon you by others Rest days help alleviate mental fatigue and improve emotional regulation Resting does not somehow lower your worth, achievements, or overall skill. Resting gets you more blow jobs Resting gives me more chances to make you laugh. Resting gives you time to process your emotions, heal, move forward, or solve problems in your life. You are actually less productive if your body/mind is in need of rest or recovery and you push through anyways. So you shouldn’t feel bad about relaxing, you’re doing what is needed to be your best self for others. Can anyone help me think of more? submitted by /u/InMyOwnCornr
