- be more mindful about my free time
i think i fall into this trap a lot where because i still have work to do (because i’m a game design student and The Work Is Never Done), my brain thinks i’m not “”allowed”” to spend my free time doing actually relaxing things i legitimately like (like playing video games!) because i’ll get too committed to them, so instead i futz around on my phone and am miserable even though i could be spending the Exact Same Amount Of Time I Will Be Spending Anyway doing something i like!! therefore i will be more mindful about how i spend my free time! this is the biggest one for me
- be kinder to myself about job stuff
i think i burnt myself out really bad during my insane internship application season and while it’s now looking up i’m still trying to shake off the “if i don’t make it Right Now i will Never Make It Ever”, so i think it would be helpful for me to really internalize that things are gonna work out and that i am not a failure if my life does not look linkedin picture perfect right away (but also to let myself be hopeful that ongoing possibilities might shake out instead of convincing myself they won’t)
- get back into making art
enough said!! i miss illustration and would like to get back into it especially considering i dedicated like 18 years of my life to it! i’m pretty good at it and would like to get back into it in a way that brings me joy. this also applies to actually practicing viola again
- stop being a weenie and actually learn godot
yeah
