lower/manage your expectations

give yourself the chance to be grateful for what has happened instead of being disappointed in what didn't

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.

support yourself like your life depends on it

Today I was thinking: why am I so much better at supporting others than I am to myself?? We really need to support ourselves! "Show how you think, show you can see an idea through, and keep doing it until you can no longer be ignored." Some really good advice if you are an "aspiring" creative to which Jess Wheeler says bollocks! (*vigorous nodding*)  "The reason I dislike the term ‘aspiring creative’ is because there’s no such thing. Either you are or you aren’t. Creative people make stuff. That’s what makes us creative. We take a nothing and turn it into something. That’s our special skill. You don’t need permission to be creative. You don’t need a job, or a client, or a brief, or a degree, you just NEED TO CREATE." 💰💰💰
