Do NOT disrespect my chicken legs
Minimize, donate or toss what I don’t need.
Eat slower, choose healthy over gratification.
Try to Qigong daily. It’s good for focusing on breathing.
Read more, books, not on the screen. At least a Paperwhite.
Actually the above is a good start
- yoyo
- finish editing novel & get that thing to a publisher
- ???
- profit
Resolutions never stick. So I’ll just focus on what’s in front of me. Lose some weight. Get good grades so my scholarship doesn’t drop.
I need to do more things I used to love. I don’t play guitar anymore. I can’t read for pleasure anymore. I don’t watch tv or movies on my own. I don’t listen to music unless I’m in car. My cameras just sit in their cases and my leather projects remain unfinished. I just can’t find the joy I used to.
Mine are pretty simple:
- Feel better about my phone use
- Keep doing the good stuff I started in 2024
- More time on hobbies I like, less time on hobbies I maybe don’t want as hobbies (aka yo-yo more, certain video games less)
You could also just do “homevideos”. I think that could be a way to still capture a successful trick or a moment in your life. And then just showing ppl in your personal space.
I have a dumb-phone for years now, because I realized, that I have a way to addictive nature to have a small entertainment machine always around. And on the current one I can make photos of whopping 3MP, but because MMS service is being abandoned, I can only show them ppl on my phone screen directly and I find that relaxing and also somewhat beautiful.
Watch yo-yo less, play yo-yo more
That’s the way. I have to remind myself of this more than I like.
Chicken-legs are evolved Dinosaur-legs. And if you accept a Kasuar as a chicken too, then you may call your noodles, T-Rex-legs.
I am in the same rut. I hope therapy may help.
Do you know if Gulf Coast regionals will come back?
@GraysonYoYo Honestly I’m not sure if the regional will be coming back since I’m not an organizer for it, but there is a contest coming up in the future (most likely April) that is still in development that should be helpful for players in the central US
To learn at least 2 new moves. The only new thing I learned since 2022 was Guy Wright Bind.
Awesome - thanks! I’m in South Carolina and competed at Florida States but wish there were some other contest closer
@GraysonYoYo No problem! Hope you had a fun time FL states! Yeah it seems like there are more contests on the coasts than in the central US, but MWR is in Minnesota in June and there’s also a MN state contest (but I know MN is a bit far from SC). UYYC should be in St. Louis, MO this year so that could be a good option as well that’s not as far!
I asked one of the organizers recently and they confirmed there isn’t gonna be gulf coast regionals, and likely not a regional in the southeast US in general, though, I am hoping to make that contest in April, which should be reasonable, since I would assume it takes place the same time as the club meet lol
