Personal
It's been forever since I've done anything like this and I look at my dw entry I made in 2012 and wow. I mean I'm in a better place moneywise at least, though I could be more responsible, but I got to get back on track with a lot of things.
But some goals and thoughts.
1. I really need to improve my eating. It's like the biggest part of the puzzle for me. I have a bad habit of snacking on junky food out of boredom. Also stopping at places on the way to or from work and getting a lot of junky food. I need to stop that and also do better with my meals. I think I want to have a goal of having at least one veggie/fruit-laden meal. Like a smoothie, salad or soup or something else that is plant-heavy.
2. getting more consistent with fitness which is hard because of all the pain issues I have in my foot, back and hips. I've been working with this mobility app, so I'm hoping that will help. And I'm thinking about getting a Switch so I can play games like Ring Fit Adventure, but in the mean time, I'm working on doing some small exercise videos to get into the habit.
3. Want to keep up with my writing consistently. I'm also working on mirroring stuff here and at squidgeworld (would love suggestions though). It's hard because some of the ao3/otw stuff demotivated me bad, but I don't want to give up either
4. I also want to write an original thing, because I've been reading too many bad transmigration novels and the like. But I want to research more.
5. I also want to I don't know, take up painting. I saw a good post on twitter about having a hobby that doesn't involve screens which resonated with me a lot and like... I think something artsy like that would be good. I experimented with a cheapass pour painting kit I won at our work holiday party and it didn't go well but I also want to keep trying because colors! There's also all these fun youtube tutorials I want to do though I realize that is slightly against the no screens things lmao, but the spirit is there.
6. Also want to catch up with reading both books and manga, because there is a whole world out there. And I was a big reader as a child.
7. Getting into a good groove with rp while not being anxious about being slow. I want to just... hold myself to my own standards I guess.
8. Also less mindless reading gossip sites. I have a bad habit of just clicking and scrolling for hours, sometimes obessively and it's stressful for me. I've lost so much of my life doing this. I hate it.
9. Also this is hard but I want to be more honest about my likes and that. I have a bad habit of holding back, which ties in with my shyness about chatting with people, but I want to be more honest, though that might be baby steps.
And honestly, this all feels cathartic to write out.
