I tell people this a lot, and it really depends on the person, but I'll try to make a list! To focus on ourselves basically means to better our confidence and our general well-being. Focusing on ourselves is basically keeping busy while improving ourselves at the same time. Because at the end of the day, we can't rely on others to lift us up. It helps to have people there, but we will always have ourselves. Focusing on ourselves means just living our lives and not worrying about trying to find another person to help fill the empty void in our hearts, but at the same time, while doing our own thing and just living life, this is when we may meet other people or potential future partners along the way. So either way, it's a win-win situation.

  • write, journal, let everything out. Hold nothing back. There's a lot of cool notebooks to choose from out there specifically tailored to give you topics to focus on, like writing prompt journals, or there's gratitude journals as well
  • which leads me to my next point, write out a list of what your grateful for
  • write out a list of your current goals or any improvements you would like to make, then look at it every day or post it somewhere you can easily see in your room
  • Friends have recommended the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" (I still haven't read it but I heard it's good)
  • I also heard this book is really good too "You Are a Badass"
  • hike, pick a trail, set a goal to make it to the top of a hill to help build your endurance (I have a friend who also loves to do this while making videos of himself talking to himself and just reflecting on life)
  • go to social events like parties or shows
  • focus on your career and work on that promotion, or if you still don't have one yet or you're unsure, this is the perfect time to figure that out and make a list of what you really love and have passion for
  • remind yourself that you are awesome and deserving of the best, every day or at least once a week
  • remain humble and never cocky
  • depending on your age, go to bars and hang with friends and also depending on where you live, go to a barcade if you like video games or old arcade-style games while drinking
  • hang with friends and have on one one convos with them about life (you really learn a lot)
  • learn how to cook something that you can see yourself enjoying for the rest of your life (cooking is a great skill to have, and many women really love men that know how to cook)
  • get a new hair cut, or buy some new clothes, a new video game, a new anything. Treat yo self
  • become your own best friend (it's really not as lame as you think)
  • pick up a new hobby, whether it's an outdoor or indoor activity, like photography
  • if you're still in school, maybe join any groups or clubs
  • definitely exercise since it helps build muscle, keeps you fit, and helps boost those endorphins making you feel better in the long run
  • if you're the artsy type, go to art galleries, and if you feel so inclined, even invite a female friend to join you
  • take a mini road trip with your friends if possible
  • write a short story
  • Dare yourself to try a new foreign dish for the first time and live life on the "edge"
  • help volunteer somewhere
  • pay a stranger a compliment
  • do one good deed for someone every week or month
  • visit some place you've always wanted to go to

    I know there's so much more you can do, but I hope some of these can help for now! Basically just go out there and live your life and have as much fun as possible.

Okay, firstly a bit about me so you know my perspective. I am a 21yo film student in the UK. I came from a more technical schooling environment than creative so I struggled at the idea conception like you do.

My advice is since you like rules familiarise yourself with the do's and don'ts. Once you're comfortable with those, you should and will want to experiment. By these I mean some obvious rules like the 180degree line, rule of thirds, colour composition, MTF scale and contrast. But also screenwriting formulas. None of these are compulsory but understanding the how's and why's will help you eventually understand the occasional why not.

For creative inspiration just try and consistently write. Even without shooting the script try and regularly create a whole short story script. My favourite tool to help spark writing creativity is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Things-Write-Francisco-Writers-Grotto/dp/1452105448

When it comes to a film crew there are plenty of roles that are more technical than creative. Grip, spark, camera assistant, camera operator, gaffer and once you're working you'll be primarily paid for these jobs for a while before you become a cinematographer so you can develop a creative style and become a jack of all trades and hopefully be a master of one.

And nearly every filmmaker loves the gear and wants the latest and greatest but the truth is that changes and the film craft needs to be good to take advantage of that quality gear.

I'm willing to answer any further questions. As I mentioned I don't have the greatest experience but being in a position similar to yours 5years ago I feel my words have some value.

You may want to look into the 642 Things to Write About series. I've pasted a link to the original book as well as a couple that are advertised as being for young writers:

Well I am doing more writing and journaling as part of my anxiety management & dealing with stress, so this writing prompt book would be really helpful for me: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1452105448/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_10?colid=3CRZNQGOYT91N&coliid=IX93IXTMEYIAO

You already have! You wrote this post yourself, right? If so, congrats - you're off to a great start.

Think about all the stuff you already write every day: notes, emails, tweets, Reddit posts. Re-thinking writing as something you already do makes it easier to dive deeper.

So continue writing. Write consistently and with intention. Set aside half an hour each day to do nothing but write. If you're feeling uninspired, writing prompts are very useful. There are plenty of resources out there.

Just as importantly: read a lot. Particularly the type of writing you wish to do. If you want to write books, read more books. If you want to write articles, read more articles (and also books). And then actually write them.

TL;DR - You're already writing, so just keep on writing. Set aside time to write each day, use writing prompts, and read what you want to write. Have fun!

Here's a few: A nice pair of earbuds (not those crappy Skullcandies), this great book called 642 Things to write. It really does help with writing and it's super fun! Can also help you get to know yourself better.

I picked up a book a little while back that I haven't used as much as I should:

642 Things to Write About

u/MotherofUnicorns01 · 1 pointr/writing

I like this one: 642 Things to Write About

u/JumpWithSigmaAndPhi · 1 pointr/JournalingIsArt

Thank you for the link, it is really handy and I already found some inspiring lists inside. I'm new here so I don't know it has already been talked about but I also recommend this book: 642 Things to Write About It's full of prompts of all sort inciting you to write short stories about anything. It may be more directed toward authors, professional or not, but I think it can also come in handy for anyone who don't know what to put in their journal.
There is also 642 Things to Draw and recently 712 More Things to Write About.

I'm born and raised Los Angeles/Orange County, so it's a little weird at times. I hope you don't mind I kinda skimmed your comments really quick, but I see you're from Oakland. I feel that it would probably be a way bigger adjustment for you than me as far as the pace of life is concerned, southern CA is pretty relaxed in a lot of areas. And I've visited San Francisco/Oakland quite a few times as I have a lot of friends up there, and can see how you're feeling underwhelmed with it.

I remember a few days ago my SO and I went out and, like, went to Toys R Us, the comic book store, and a few other places and I said, "What now?" because I was having a nice day out with him, and he was like, "There's nothing else, really."

The lack of options of things to do is obviously a little foreign to me, so I noticed we're getting into some different hobbies together to enjoy our time at home like building Legos and watching TV series together and filling out this book and this book I brought. I probably spend more time inside here than I did while I was back in Orange County. I'm doing okay right now and I honestly think it can go either way over time - either I start working and get out more and feel more functioning and I'll make friends (maybe), or I actually will just end up being bored, I don't know yet. It's hard to tell!

This book and their whole project is a gift for anyone who LOVES to write (by our very natures!) and can use some genuine inspo.

Look into.
