We have to make a million choices each and every day, so it makes sense that to keep things simple, we always make the same ones. But the easy choices don't always mean the right choices.
Commit today to changing it up, to doing something different, and making the choice that improves your life for the better. Believe it or not, pretty soon that choice will be the easy one to make too.
"so i didnt like watch porn as in proper porn but i saw a breast on a telegram group and i feel i should count that as porn only, and i masturbated as well because of that photo"
"I will give myself a yes, even though I am not sure I have fulfilled the goal, because this week has been mentally exhausting. Last week of summer holidays, some work for me and MOT for the car, some anxiety and bad sleep.
I hope to to better next week, school starts and we will be back on regular schedule."
"Still summer holiday, but I have tried so hard to get them to bed earlier. Unfortunately I have been mentally exhausted and have needed 'me time' after so I have hade several really late nights. In a way good right now as I have a late night activity tonight and slept in this morning but not good in the long run. But tomorrow night, the fall school and work schedule starts, so tomorrrow it's a must w/10.30."
"Started my week yesterday coz had Visa appointment on Wednesday. Yesterday was peace. 18.5m. But today was 45m slow run. Stopped twice instead of once. Need to do fasted + Banana for the 12.5k, not oats + noon run. Killer this is"
"I am doing ok. I am more aware now of what my issues were than I was last week. I am finding being vulnerable to be VERY scary. I am having OCD flare ups as well. "
"went to bed waaaaaaay too late. mid day Vietnamese coffee and first day of school jitters along with multiple project completions and watching the matrix led to too much adrenaline. "
"I did not do it today… I woke up with the alarm and just stayed in bed. Multiple alarms is helping with the problem I have sleeping through alarms, or silencing them unthinkingly while half asleep.
I need to put them across the other side of the room as the next step.
Have found that I’m habitually going to sleep late, citing to myself lots of work to do. And I do stay up and do work, but it’s work I could do in the morning! "
"Slight change in plans.
Sunday - "rest" (tennis)
Monday - 4x 5 min circuit
Tuesdy - 12 mile hike
Wednesday - extra rest day from hike
Thursday - back to original plan"
"I had some good nights, and the the kid arrived from his dad where sleeping habits always are crap. Need to get him back to earlier nights and stop sleeping until noon as school starts soon, and of course need to get myself back on track as well. As I am off work next week and have late night event next Saturday, I may not be on track until week after though.
"
"no porn,but it is getting harder for me to not masturbate, by not making a commitment about it i think i have mentally given a free pass to myself, not thinking that it is wrong to do it everyday"
"Successful week 44 - back on the straight and narrow after a shameful stumble. I feel like I got lazy mentally and let myself be convinced that there was no harm in "just one time". Going forward, I'll shut down the voices from the get go and firmly remind myself why I'm doing this and that it's all delayed gratification. The reward of prolonged success far surpasses temporary satisfaction."
"Up at 550 with the kiddos, taking one back to bed. Today was a struggle. Went to bed at 1. But similar to "the only bad workout is the one that didn't happen", I'm finding that contrilling this, and keeping this promise to myself, no matter what, Is training me to do hard things "
"I did it! I was up at 5am and awake. I read my book for 50minutes, and then became distracted with the “harmless distractions” self sabotaging patterns. But, I was up at 5am, and that’s a win. "
"Today I did not achieve what I had promised. I did not start my day at 5am. Instead I slept, and thought of waking at 6am, and instead got up at 7:30am.
Still better than 9am. $10 begrudgingly spent.
I’ll get my 5am wake up tomorrow! "
