#and ive been managing my other daily tasks almost 100% since starting two weeks ago

well tumblr wont let me find the post i made asking about self-care games, but i wanted to say i've been playing Finch and it's actually super helpful! it doesn't quite have everything i said i wanted in my post, notably it doesn't really have anything in the way of plot and is a bit more cutesy than i'd normally want, but it DOES have an energy system that makes me log in every day and do all my daily tasks so my lil virtual pet doesnt look sad.

and i really like that it has other options like breathing exercises and emotional reflections that refill your pets energy, so even if you're having a really low day and can't do your to-do list you can still keep your streak. it has tricked me into feeling like doing basic self-care is a sneaky way to cheat at the game, so i'm gonna count that as a success.

#me: haha i didnt even do anything i just sat and breathed and practiced mindfullness for a few minutes! ...wait #its been the only thing ive ever encountered that actually makes me brush my teeth #and ive been managing my other daily tasks almost 100% since starting two weeks ago #9/10 i just worry when my pet fully grows up i wont care much any more
