4 Ways to Beat “Liminal Space” Week

What is “liminal space” week?

“Liminal space” week is what I call the week between Christmas and New Years because it feels like “nothing” time, where you’re between two large holidays in which many people have off from work, but a lot of businesses are closed.

1. Make a (small) schedule - I’m not saying to fill your schedule up and keep yourself booked. But, a few scheduled things sprinkled in this week can help you look forward to something and keep track of time.

2. Be in touch with your surroundings - Grounding is something that you might roll your eyes at. But it does work! My go-to is the 5-4-3-2-1 technique where you focus on five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This could be a good step to get yourself in a better headspace to go do something else, like go for a walk or make art or a craft.

3. Go outside - Even if you live somewhere where it’s cold...bundle up!! You’d be surprised how much fresh air can do you good. Even if you have nowhere to ~go~ (many places are closed), just go for a walk around your block/neighborhood. If it’s cold where you live, I’d suggest doing something like walking to keep your body temperature up, instead of doing something like sitting on your porch or balcony.

4. Stay off your phone - Don’t get sucked into doom scrolling! Or if you do, try and implement ways to prevent it from happening again! What have you been putting off that you’d like to do? Is there a new book you’ve been dying to get into? A craft you’ve been wanting to try? An easy fix of something around the house that you just haven’t gotten to yet? Maybe a movie night with your family or roommates?

What do you do to help your mental health during this time of year?

Do you have chronic pain, fatigue, or just want to be extra comfy? Consider a s*x pillow! These pillows come in many different shapes, sizes, prices, and materials.

The one featured here is the Hismith “S*x Pillow - Inflatable S*x Furniture - Large Size” for ~$78 USD.

These pillows allow for more comfort, support, stability, and longevity of your bedroom time. Unfortunately, I can’t show you all of the ways they can be used (sigh). Another really popular brand is the Liberator product line. Check them out online!

You deserve a happy relationship. Your relationships are not doomed because of your asexuality. You can, and will, have loving, supportive relationships with partners who respect your boundaries and needs, as you respect theirs.

Using the British slang for this item since Instagram will allow this and not the other name!

Rubbers have many benefits. Including:

▫️Preventing pregnancy
▫️Preventing STIs like HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis B
▫️Are easier to access than other forms of birth control because they are typically available at convenience stores, drug stores, and doctor’s offices and they do not require a prescription.
▫️Relatively cheap compared to other forms of birth control.

Asexual relationships aren’t inherently “less than sexual ones.

S*xual intimacy and connection is not above emotional, romantic, or intellectual intimacy—and not every partner has to satisfy all of your needs in all of these categories. Western culture puts an incredible emphasis on romantic and sexual attraction through an escalator: first attraction, then dating, then marriage/moving in together, then children. But, we know that relationships that fall outside of this model are just as important as those that do.
