Thorsten Zöller

Hi, I'm Thorsten, and I guess an #introduction might be in order:

Originally from #Oberhausen in the #RuhrArea in Germany, I now live in #Frankfurt, trying to be a decent human being (not by trade). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - not being a jerk can be surprisingly hard at times.

A few things I'm interested in or otherwise like, in no particular order:
- #BSD in general, and #OpenBSD in particular :openbsd: :runbsdBg:
- the #vi editor
- #plaintext
- #maths and #physics (being a theoretical physicist by education)
- #Ashtanga #Yoga (rather a love-hate relationship, to be honest)
- #veganism
- #coffee
- #journaling
- #minimalism and #simplicity
- practical #philosophy (aka how to live a good life)
- the mundane, boring, monotonous
- #kindness

A huge thanks to the admins of the exquisite.social instance, @h3artbl33d and @mischa. You are great folks, really! 🙏

I opted to not nap yesterday (realllly needed good sleep last night -- and I got my first 8 hour night in weeks!!), but I did give myself the night off from work, even though deadlines are fast approaching.

I've recently been leaning into the idea that if I am feeling burnt out/overwhelmed, the move is to focus on relaxing and getting regulated before trying again with the work. And like, really doing it, really letting go of the "but I really have to work! ::stress::" and replacing it with, "I really have to rest if I want to be able to do this work tomorrow!" Sometimes it's not really an option and I have to push through (like for a same-day deadline), but so far I have been having amazing results.

So yesterday, while I was scrolling here deciding what to do with my clunky brain for the evening, I came across someone's share of what they do to help them recover from burn out (gonna try to hunt it down to comment on it) and they mentioned doing gentle movement/yoga. For several years in my mid/late twenties, I practiced #Ashtanga #yoga fairly regularly, but I haven't done any kind of yoga practice -- and very little movement -- at least since I went back to school full time in 2020.

I was at my friend's empty apartment to help me focus on work, but instead I got to take advantage of a clear space (my room is a nightmare right now) and I did a heavily modified primary series and, holy heckles, my body really needed that!

These pandemic years have had me spending most all day laying in bed on my computer. In the beginning I was hiking every day, but for the last year or more I have barely moved, and I've had new and persistent aches and pains like I've never experienced before.

It was very, very interesting to me to see how the same practice I did years ago while very active felt to my very sedentary, achy body today!

Okay I am stalling because I have so much work to do... gonna try to shift gears now!
