Commission for Cat, featuring Felix 'Whiskers' Fitzgerald making his return, this time in a much more modern outfit! I had a lot of fun painting this guy, and it was so satisfying bringing him to life in this style. The grass also turned out way better than I expected too! Thank you whoever I got that brush from many years ago. :meow:

WIP images and a huge full-res version of this (5000 pixels tall, 5x bigger than this!!) will be available on my Patreon! Additionally, you can check out the VOD where I did four hours of painting work on this over here for the next two months!

Just because you "did nothing" today, it doesn't mean you don't get to be tired and that you don't deserve rest. You don't have to earn resting.

You are allowed to enjoy silly media without having to justify it, or to prove yourself, or perform. Not everything needs to be intellectually stimulating, you should have some time for escapism and relaxation without it having to make you look cool and smart.

Resting

Rest is a state of relaxation that allows our minds and bodies to recover from the general stress of our lives. This can come physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is extremely important to our overall health and is just as important as diet or exercise. There are different kinds of rest that we need to help us function at our best. The seven types of rest are social, spiritual, sensory, creative, emotional, physical, and mental. Each one specializes in a specific aspect of our lives and understanding them makes it easier to understand yourself and care for yourself properly.

Physical Rest - This means taking a break from all the events of your day. It gives our muscles time to repair and grow, which helps avoid injuries and lessens fatigue. Instantly simple things such as lying down or sitting come to mine, but it can also include things such as stretching, getting a massage, taking a nap, or practicing deep breathing.

Mental Rest - This is taking a break from the constant mental simulation that is so common. This gives our brains time to recharge and process information, helping us to stay focused, productive, and alert. Mental rest can be many things such as turning off your phone, practicing meditation, avoiding social media, and yoga.

Emotional Rest - This is removing yourself from emotional demands in your everyday life. This gives us time to process our feelings, helping maintain an emotional balance that helps avoid burnout. I know this can be hard for people, because you may feel guilty about taking time for yourself, but this is not selfish. You deserve this. Emotional rest can include things like spending time alone, journaling, spending time outside in nature, or talking to a friend.

Sensory Rest - This means taking a break from the constant sensory input in your life. This gives you time to recover from the over stimulation that is noise, light, etc. To stop this from becoming overwhelming, consider practicing things such as taking a bath, listening to calm music, closing your eyes, turning off the tv, or a "digital detox"

Creative Rest - This is taking a break from creative requests. People commonly feel as though they need to continuously produce and create, but this is very draining. To combat this state try pursuing a small hobby, doing a creative activity that doesn't require lots of effort (knitting, cooking, baking, etc.), or reading poetry and literature

Social Rest - This is when you temporarily take yourself out the constant social situations, especially ones that are extremely draining or tiring. This will help you maintain your emotional boundaries and avoid social burnout. To practice this try spending time with family or a close friend, have a solo - date, and go ghost on social media for a day.

Spiritual Rest - This can be meditation, prayer, yoga, volunteer work, or nature walks.
