I've talked about anime, and it's been part of a topic about coping skills before. Gamification has also played a role in my life and it has helped me grow a lot too, believe it or not (if you're not caught up, gamification is when you take your daily schedule and apply game logic to it to trick your brain into thinking taking out the trash raises EXP points, and vice versa)
But recently I've been in a serious anime phase, among some of favorites are Food Wars, Death Note (though I kinda lost interest like four episodes in because it started to kinda drag on; I still think its a good one, just not my kind of genre.), That Time I got Reincarnated As A Slime, you name it, it's on my crunchyroll account.
But the way my daily life has been recently, I've had to get really creative behind the scenes, with my coping skills, because simply clearing my head while sitting somewhere by myself isn't doing much; it's working, but some stressors are stronger than others.
So what I've been doing is I've been thinking and meditating in my head about how this would all look in some sort of dramatic/slice of life/Shonen anime, but in my own style in my head, and playing out different executions of "scenes" and decisions that have a possibility of leading to another "scene" and so on, searching for the best possible route to play out in these scenes and both mentally animating the rest of the scene while riding with it out in reality, at my own pace and at a pace where I can still focus on reality.
The results have been pretty positive so far. Would anyone else consider trying this, keeping it under wraps and not really being vocal about it? If it's been helping me maybe it will help somebody else here, heh.
I don't know what this specifically would be referred to as, but I'd like to think it would have to have a name like "Shonen sight"?
