So I'm attempting to start 2022 on a positive note and get back in touch with my creative side. I've spent far too long telling myself that I'm 'too busy' or just flat-out being lazy and not wanting to deal with my lack of inspiration or motivation... and I just need to stop. Stop making excuses. Stop lying to myself. Stop allowing the laziness and actually embrace my talents. Just STOP!
And I know most of it is just me being caught up in gaming, not because I have an addiction or anything but I think it's more of the fact that I set too many goals for what I want to do with my characters and then let myself get in too deep. I have this bad habit of creating entirely too many characters, because I'll see or think of a name that I really like... and I'll have a different purpose for each of them... (I'm such a dork and actually have Excel spreadsheets to document this kind of stuff)
Anyway... but yes, enough is enough. I wanna create again. I want to feel that sense of pride and accomplishment in looking at what I just made and really enjoying the process. I usually don't make resolutions at the new year, because I don't want to disappoint myself, which let's face it, is inevitable. But I kind of did make those 'resolutions' this year. I'm committed to actually using the writing prompts that I've been saving up for years (with a little support). Maybe even write more here as well. I'm going to open Photoshop more often. I'm going to make time to exercise and get my heart rate up at least for 30 minutes of my day. But I'm not going to think of these as resolutions. They are just things that I'm going to do. 😊
