Getting your hopes up

Bracing yourself for disappointment doesn't make it hurt any less (research backs this up), so you might as well indulge in your fantasies while you can. The enjoyment you get from them is real and valuable and doesn't have any downsides. Be reckless with your optimism!

Removing expectation

Slowly learning the value of removing expectations from work and life. I’ve spent years trying to control the outcome of situations with no pay off and feeling burdened by something not being perfect. We are not meant to excel at every single thing. It’s okay to relax and enjoy the process.

learn something totally different, just to prove that you can

Python! Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)

luminous puffins!

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow. The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

talk to the different parts of yourself

Wow, I find this quite fascinating. "For Seth Kopald, parts work was key to taming his anxiety, as he began to recognize that it stemmed from fears of feeling unloved in childhood. With IFS, he could now acknowledge the hurt child within, and begin to unburden from the pain and shame. “There’s a big difference between, ‘I am the anxiety and fear versus I am here with the fear, I’m here with the anxiety,’” he says. And in that realization his natural state of “confidence, courage and compassion” resurfaced. “It's almost like I have a new operating system now,” Kopald says. So, if you’re dealing with stress — around relationships, tragedy, or any life challenge — you may want to learn more about parts work." https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/10/25/nx-s1-5055753/parts-work-therapy-internal-family-systems-anxiety
