To your Sunday post-
Thank you bro I’m picking up the pace. I guess.
Ever heard about the pomodoro technique? It’s really good if you want to study effectively👌
Yes. Looking at those as a subject, That’s how we get wierd too
Do not feel let down brother.
You are overthinking. That’s what making your studies more stressful & inefficient.
Try meditating & calming your nerves down.
Try headspace
You won’t feel immediate effects, but it might change your life.
After meditating for like more than 2 months is when I realised it’s power.
I’m applying it literally everywhere.
To pay attention in class,
To listen to people when they speak while conversing,
In managing thoughts,
forgiving myself, & letting go of emotions.
Being totally natural.
& Specially, in focusing on the thing at hand, at the moment, like studies
That post about your mother, your bonding is so sweet , I can visualise that.
She’s really a strong lady to have let go of the addiction. So you have it in your blood! You can do this too!
It’s a boon when you can discuss about pornography & nofap with family members
I have no idea what my parents would do if they ever came to know about my addiciton.
Also, feel free to write anything
Be it anything, even your past. It helps you know yourself better, and be honest & natural too!
Everything’s fine here
Yesterday was Dasara & I spent my time with family, also finding time for studies.
Bunked classes to meet my school friend today
Great time
I’m feeling so confident and powerful
I recommend this book to everyone
(Ignore the panda)
It’s very helpful when you’ve mastered it
The author believes more in action than in motivation
The rule basically is-
Whenever you have this subconscious feeling of doing something productive
You have a choice, either do it or don’t
Be any activity- Studies, getting up from bed, raising hand in class, asking a girl out, talking to a stranger, going to the gym, etcetera.
But it involves struggle, discomfort, & some fear.
So our brain tends to make excuses.
And you start procastinating, and postponing the act saying “naah now isn’t the right time”, “I don’t feel like it”, “I’m tired” & so on.
The 5 second rule prevents this thinking so that you start acting on it.
But you need to master it.
You need to respect it.
And use it literally everytime, for anything, even letting go of thoughts or emotions.
So you need to be mindful while using it.
Whenever there comes a choice in your subconscious,
Just say “5…4…3…2…1… go!” And act on the productive choice
You don’t have to think through.
You don’t have to talk.
Just act on your subconscious.
Even when the urges hit.
Even when you accidentally look at a trigger,
5 4 3 2 1 and go!
Look away immediately.
The rule in itself is a skill.
It takes time to master. But with regular use, you might be familiar with it
Good night!
