I didn’t post yesterday because I relapsed, of course a stupid reason to not post here but I had been drowning in my thoughts, not seeing any light.
And so I today I decided to watch a video which had been pending for long time, it opened my eyes.
I’m gonna watch it again in evening and make notes on it.
Plus I figured I had been stuck in a cycle of thinking and thinking and thinking and not getting things done, I had been running from studying, so now I am shifting some of my habits to evening or night, which take a lot of time in the day, and I’ll focus on studying in that time.
Ok then gonna be on detox till evening now.
Brother that’s the exact same problem that I am suffering right now, I plan everything perfectly but I don’t actually do all of them especially studying.
That’s brilliant @The_integrous_one
Let’s start again bhai, like we used to study! Those challenges will help us. I also wanna come on track.
25th Nov, Friday, Day 0
Studying: About 4 hrs
Going to sleep before/around 12 last night: I don’t remember when I slept , probably sometime after 12.

Affirmations
Workout: Total about 20 min push+pull

I shifted some of habits to night (after dinner), I didn’t have to worry about completing them in the day so I could focus on studying with ease.
That’s all I have to say about today.
Apart from this one thing I realized is that ‘We get results of whatever we work on’, thing about it it’s deep. Be it celibacy wise, career wise, spirituality wise, we get positive results for positive actions and so is the case with negatives.
I feel like my whole day has been spent reading today , it feels good though. I’ll sleep after watching one episode of Rick and Morty now.
(Skeptical about counting days, maybe I should to keep things in perspective)
Dude I don’t know why but I feel like I want to party after reading this
Probably because of the emoji .
26 Nov 10:20 am
I woke up around 9, thought about what I am supposed to do today and then I started using mobile , I put my phone on detox last night but only until 9:30 am, idk what I was thinking, I should have put it till late.
Anyway I’ll start detox again till evening and get things done.
26th Nov, Saturday, Day 1
Affirmations and Visualisation
Workout: About 25-30 min total in morning, basketball in evening
Yup I think I did nothing else apart from this . One mistake I did today was that I didn’t start studying before lunch, I was planning to study after lunch till evening, but one of my school time friends called, he said he’s visiting me today
, I was like ok whole day gone.
He also plays basketball we went to play basketball, we had so nice games, after that we went to a cafe and had, veg crepe, spaghetti pasta and hot chocolate. We also had some good talks, he dropped me off at my home and then left, it was already night, after I returned I spent some time listening songs with my sister, took a bath, then spent quite some time on a whatsApp group because we added a new member there so the group lit up a bit . Now I’ll be sleeping after watching Rick and Morty. Tomorrow I’ll be studying, I’ll start before lunch itself, my motivation has renewed and I have started feeling bad for not studying
, which is actually a good thing, so yeah tomorrow I’ll will be compensating for today. No playing tomorrow but I’m planning to finish all habits by morning itself then study till after 9:30 or 10 at night. Spending time with my friend renewed my confidence to some extent.
I’ll also be detoxing till dinner tomorrow.
Anyway gn now.
He only has 2 in built emojis
I thought that must be Sharbat Singh’s post
I came here just to check on my Bhai but it looks like I already have a topic to talk about:
Such good memories.

I slept and woke up on time, but lunch was early today so I studied only about 1 hour before that, after lunch somehow my detox stopped, so I checked messages etc for some time, I again put my phone on detox at about 4:30 or 5 pm I think, then me and my sister listened to some songs etc for some time and talked, my parents weren’t home they came around 7 in evening. We had dinner after that, watched some tv, I had some habits remaining did them and that’s all , just 1 hour study, I need to be more serious about this, eating control wasn’t good either. But not stressing out about anything unnecessarily. I am doing better than before. Anyway I’ll be sleeping in some time after watching Rick and Morty, It’s a good show.
Damn bro I saw @The_Ambitious_One reply in my Notifications and I said: “He probably put a cool or funny image or gif”

I woke up on time, but I wasted a lot of time in listening to songs etc, then in evening I got a good nagging from my mom about studying , we had an argument too, I was stupid to argue, but after a while things sorted out, I even cried
. But it was a good reminder to actually do better in studies rather than just feeling in a bubble of productivity while actually doing nothing
, I’ll force myself to finish morning routine fast and sit for studying as early as possible, almost negligible study today, that won’t happen tomorrow.
You know my mother is so smartass
Last year , i was addicted to games. I used to play games instead of studying, i kept my books open to show that i am studying one day my mother looked at the page i was on (unfortunately i forgot to turn pages) she came back after 15 mins and saw that i was on the same page
she caught me i got embarassed and angry and i ran out of my house:sweat_smile: trust was broken at that time
I thought these things won’t happen with you because you opened GATE ! Were you playing instead of studying?
