Not Today Patch
“Not Today” is a rally call against the Grim Reaper, specifically against bad mental health days. (They happen, but this shirt is a reminder not to act on those voices that sometimes trouble us.) In truth, I made this for myself as a reminder to fight back against my own mental illness.
Levels
There is but 1 level of the Not Today Patch.
Fact
I’ve struggled with mental illness my whole life. I created Steam Crow (with Dawna) as a way to combat it. (Spending my life making what I love for people I like.)
Point Value
The Not Today Patch is worth 25 Glory points, more than most Spirit Badges.
Symbology
Instead of a “momento mori” I think of this as a “momento vitae”; a reminder of life. (And to live.)
Rarity
This is a Common patch. You can order yours here!
Personal Ranger Challenge
- Find a free day in your schedule, and do something JUST FOR YOU. Your responsibilities/worries are “NOT TODAY.”
- Paint something, draw, take a bath… but do something active. (Rather than SLEEP ALL DAY, veg out binging shows all day, etc.)
- Log it in your Monster Rangers Notebook
- Repeat as necessary
Monster Rangers Jr. Challenge
- When you’re having a down time, talk to your family about it.
- Tell them about this challenge, and then tell them about something that you’d like to do with them.
- No, we’re not talking about a Disneyland trip; we’re talking about something more personal… like a hike, doing some arts & crafts, or something like that.
- Have a good day, doing it.
- Log it into your Monster Rangers Notebook
- Repeat as necessary
You don’t turn this in for credit; you simply log it into your Rangers Notebook – Rangers Honor!
Good luck, Monster Ranger!
