A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I find the idea of not expecting too much of oneself can be extremely liberating. Just let go of the stress, relax and enjoy life.
It's a shame that those people who most need to hear this message, won't get it.
What do you do about people who obligate you otherwise though?
I seem to find myself under managers like this all the time for example—unending, "I want you to rise up to the occasion"-types. Largely because they just yes-man whatever their bosses ask for without further consideration.
