GoodDevDigest 2022 recap edition

Last year I had my Christmas vacation, so I don't really have something to share with you. I decided to recap on the important things from 2022.

❤️ Attachment theory

Last year I've learned about the Attachment theory. And, namely, that there are three attachment styles in the relationships — secure, avoidant and anxious. I have the third type, it's neither good or bad, but this has helped me to understand myself better.

People with anxious attachment style are used to better notice any small changes in the behavior of other people (and then make theories about the reasons of such behavior). While this is a useful skill, it's important to understand, that this skill is something we have developed in our childhood as a coping mechanism, to feel ourselves more secure. And, when we are grown up, we may want to use it differently.

Does this apply to you?

📔 Journaling

Since 18th of October, I start my day with 8 minutes of journaling. First I notice what has made me happy yesterday and then just write whatever is on my mind — good or bad, doubt or proud. I do it with pen and paper and I enjoy the process.

It's scientifically proven (random article, but it is), that journaling is good for your mental health. I think this helps me to cope with everything what's going on these days.

🎥 Best film 2022

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a masterpiece, the best movie I've discovered in 2022. This movie has so many layers that you can watch it with any purpose — entertainment, science fiction, philosophical. It's fascinating, how parent child relationship problem was presented in the movie ❤️‍🩹

👖Uniqlo

~5 years ago, I and my wife were in some museum in Milan. And they were giving out basic t-shirts as a gift for visiting the museum. I opened that t-shirt after several years and loved it. It was thin, nice to the body, it stayed the same after the washing. I learned, that it was produced by Uniqlo, but I never did anything about it.

This year I decided to buy more of such t-shirts and also to try their basic joggers and a hoodie, to improve my home outfit. It was a match. Best home suit ever and I want to buy the second one. Unfortunately, hoodies are out of stock now, but I am waiting for the restocking.

If you want to feel comfort on your body — try Uniqlo.

⬛️ That was it. 2022 was a difficult year, I will do everything to make 2023 better and wish the same to you. What's your favorite movie from the last year?
