I found these paragraphs inspiring enough to share. Just living is praxis when you live mindfully.

As a disabled person and caregiver, I agree. I still do what I can but some days it is incredibly difficult to even do the bare minimum.

It's hard not to get discouraged when my body betrays me, but for me I have to remember that my best will usually fall far below a non-disabled person's best... And this is ok. (I'm still not completely convinced that it is ok but it's what I tell myself.)

It's OK.

That's what I've been trying to learn from 2023. It started with a lot of energy and ambition and the former ran out early in the year. Been trying to be patient with myself and realize the best can simply be getting to the next day.

It is OK. You are not the problem, big corporations are, especially the fossil industry.
