I was an extremely high performer at my last firm, when I joined my new firm I was plenty excited and wanted to overachieve so I set time up with my counselor and said I wanted to go for early promotion.

Months later, I realized now I just want to coast and put my effort towards other things but my counselor is still recommending me do this and that, staying ontop of my utilization to make sure it exceeds standards, etc.. how do I tell them idgaf anymore lol

Book a session with him or her and tell your personal situation and priorities shifted. That you still want to engage for the firm, but have to cancel on some commitments from earlier conversations.

What’s a counselor?

where do you work, maybe you call them coaches?

BCG1 is right. I'd also think about why you don't gaf anymore. If you don't think you have a fair shot at early promo, or there isn't enough reward to justify overachieving and that's demotivating, then maybe that's something you can talk about with your counselor.

I want to put my extra time towards personal hobbies I’ve fallen in love with and my mindset has shifted overall to being more present and enjoy the current vs trying to achieve and prepare for the future

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
