I too, want to get back to the health side of things. I would also like my summer to start being a little better financial wise, as how it always seems after the 4th of July I somehow end up broke for the last few months and dont have money to do the simplest of stuff as go see movies...
1 Start trying to exercise 30 min- 1 hr every other day(on weekends, either do it before it gets hot or do it once the sun sets)
2 Get some more smaller bills/debt paid off; I feel good since I've taken care of my school loans and I want to pay off the rest of the smaller stuff so that I can tackle the larger bill by the end of the year.
3 Start trying to build my website; this one will probably be the biggest bitch coz of my urge to procrastinate when it comes to this subject.
4 Work on standalone art pieces; did some of this last year(when I was on a break from my comic) and found it quite therapeutic- just working on whatever & not having to worry about deadlines.
5 Start trying to put myself out there for doing commissions: regularly I feel this is counter productive to trying to get the website done, trying to get my comic done, and trying to work on standalone art stuffs- but I do want to experiment/test this and see if I can thrive doing commissions.
6 Enjoy free/quiet time without feeling guilty about not doing art: I know I need to take breaks, but for some reason for the past couple yrs I keep telling myself that playing video games isnt an effective way to spend my free/rest time; I need to stop that.If I can spend 6-8 hrs watching movies, Netflix, & Hulu or going to the movies, then playing video games isnt any different.
I have one flavor of ice cream that I've been eating for about over 10 yrs & I'm good with that. Nothing beats Double Vanilla- but I might mozy over to Bruster's one day.
THIS is what happens when "go broke" for the rest of the summer. I start stressing coz there are things I wanna do or things I wanna get and I cant coz my first priority is to pay off my current bills. The days become monotonous & suck because I'm just "going to work" and "going home"(and stuck in the house on the weekends).
Already telling myself about the "summer monotony" and how when it does become monotonous working on my comic stuff at home I'm just gonna pack up my laptop and go do it at the library down the street. I do feel that fresh scenery might help against it.
