See a film you have no interest in seeing


On the 25th of September 2017, I watched a film I had no interest in seeing - Kingsman: The Secret Service (Vaughn 2015).

I don’t enjoy spy/action films, as violence doesn’t entertain me. I have also found that most action films lack character and plot development thus, when I started to watch the film I had a feeling that I was about to waste two hours of my life.

As I continued to watch the film and get into the story, I slowly began to let go of my rigid mindset and started to enjoy the films wittiness. By the end of the film, I was surprised that I had enjoyed it and at how the film managed to change my attitude in the span of two hours.

I think this activity will encourage me to not judge a film but it's poster as well as to not go into tasks/projects with a specific mindset or with a lack of interest as I might be surprised by the outcome.

On Wednesday the 8th of November, I sat in a tree in my complex. The tree I choose to climb was against a wall with an electric fence (which was a little risky).

This experience will encourage me (in my creative process) to set aside some time to reflect on both my work and my state of being.

I have always had high standards for myself and due to that I have become a perfectionist. My perfectionism always leads me to breaking point and at times, makes me incapable of finishing tasks (especially during the last stretch). I asked one of my friends for some advice on whether I should continue to work on my assignment or hand it in. She then asked me if I was pleased with my work and I said I was but felt the need to go back and refine certain aspects of the work. She came to the conclusion that I should hand in my assignment rather than dwelling on the little things. After handing in my assignment, I felt relieved and had a weight lifted off my shoulders.  I think this experience could encourage me t...
