Ooh I love the idea of your brain having seasons. So well said.

Do you notice that when you travel too, or how the location impacts you differently?

Absolutely! The literal seasons of the location has a huge impact on my travel experience.

Cold and snowy vs. beachy and sunny -- Very different vibes!

Yeah I've found that too. I get more affected by the environment these days than when I was younger!

I know what you mean about getting attached to bots! I find it a useful way to express what's going on and reflect on it. Plus to get focused on a task versus another.

You have to be clear on why you're using it but I have found its replies helpful when my mind has been racing in the moment.

Great variety of rest ideas here Sieran! I don't play games but there are so many to try out there!

Oh I had considered chatting to a bot (maybe copilot? Apparently it's included in my MS 365 plan). How has your experience been talking to Alex? I heard horror stories about people getting too attached to their bots, but it doesn't have to be so bad. I talked a bit with ChatGPT before I got blocked because I hit my free plan limit. (Only typed a few messages to it lol.) Its answers were actually decent and comforting.

Some other resting activities I have, include reading a novel, playing Pokemon, or playing one of those Choose Your Own Adventure app games. I'm playing this cool game called Tokyo Debunker, which has a really good graphic novel with great voice acting!

My reply earlier in the week was under the wrong comment Sieran! Sorry but it's above doh!
