Day 3 Settler
Meditated again last night. And workout out and studied. I had a poor night sleep, got up several times to pee. There was a moment when I woke up and stayed awake for a while. Even so I stayed cool and did nothing. Just a bit of breath work. Studying now.
Day 4 Settler
Today I had some urges. But I was feeling kinda sad as well. I guess it was my mind trying to cope with it. I think because I spend the whole day alone. I feel the pressure, and I have difficulty interacting with people.
So, the thing that I miss is the thing that makes me scared, and the thing I use to cope with it, is the thing that makes me even more scared. It’s a negative loophole. I have to endure and also fight on the other front. Try, as awkward as it could be, to improve my social life, which currently is inexistent.
Day 5 Peasant
Got out early today to work. I’m writing this in the middle of an antenna installation, in the country. I feel good to be out. I couldn’t stick to my precise calorie intake and couldn’t go to the gym yet, but it’s alright.
It’s been nice for a change.
Day 7 Commoner.
Yesterday I worked a bit. Did a Win Hof breath workout and a bit of cardio. It was good.
It’s looks like you had a solid day! That Wim Hof breathing can really reset your system—nice choice. Getting some cardio in too? You’re stacking wins. Keep it going, even a bit each day adds up.
Yes. Today I worked out and did 30 min of cardio.
I relapsed. I’m tired. Maybe I exaggerated a bit. I haven’t been able to sleep for more than 6h for several days. Today I workout at morning. During afternoon I was planning to go to work but I didn’t get the materials then stayed at home. I took a nap and woke up groggy and then relapsed. To be honest I didn’t feel like it. I think it’s just that I felt so tired. Maybe the day’s that I don’t sleep so well I should take easy at the workouts. Let’s see. I did cardio as well to see if it helps me to sleep more. I used to sleep 8,5 hours.
What exercises do you do in your cardio workout?
Stationery bike. I’d rather run but I have a serious case of sheen splits.
Day 1 Prisoner
I’ve been working the whole. And there’s a few more hours to go. Feels good being busy. Only downside is that I didn’t have time to study and to workout.
Day 2 Migrant
Worked out at morning. Went to work and had a full day. Corn didn’t even cross my mind. Being busy it’s so better. Eventually I’m gonna have to deal with boredom, but not yet.
You’re off to a great start. Staying active and engaged really does help, and it’s awesome that you noticed how being busy naturally kept your mind clear. You’re right to anticipate boredom as a challenge later — that kind of awareness is powerful. When that time comes, try having a few go-to strategies ready, like a hobby, a quick walk, or a call with a friend. But for now, enjoy the rhythm you’re building. One day at a time — you’re doing the work.
Thank you Faith. If I could, I’d work more often. It really helps in the first few weeks. Even so I won’t complain. And you’re right, I’ll try to build some strategies to avoid it during off days. I don’t want to consume and incentivize this type of content anymore. If I’m not gonna help the world to be better, at least I won’t help it be ruined.
You’re very welcome, Johnny. It means a lot that you’re being so mindful about the impact of the content you engage with. Even just recognizing the need for healthier strategies on your off days is a powerful step. You’re not alone in this, and every bit of intention you bring matters—whether it’s helping the world directly or simply choosing not to add to its harm. Keep going. You’re doing better than you think.
Day 3 Settler
Worked out at morning and worked during afternoon. Felt good and I had 8h sleep, something that didn’t happen in a while. Feel good today. Gonna leave to work in a bit.
Day 4 Settler.
I slept 8 hours but still felt sleepy and tired. I woke up at 6am, had a breakfast and went to work. I made some small attempts to engage in small talk. It was good. I have to improve it. Returned with my colleague at 3pm. I was hungry but went to the gym anyway, cause today it closes at 5pm. Did a haveay workout and 30 minutes of cardio. I feel guilty that I didn’t study, let’s see tomorrow. Just had a big meal. Trying to gain some weight.
Day 5 Peasant.
Lots of music Yesterday. Today I woke up too early, before 5am. The whole day I was sleepy, so didn’t do much, only watched a show. Did a quick cardio/kicking training session at the end of the afternoon. I took my measurements today, didn’t gain wheiybut my phisique improved nonetheless. Gonna raise the calories though. I’m planning of resuming my studies tomorrow since there’s no equipment to work.
Day 7 Commoner
Yesterday I worked out early and worked a bit in the afternoon. Today I had a nice workout in the afternoon. I felt a bit of temptation but soon it passed. Last Night I meditated a bit. Slept poorly, only 6h. Couldn’t do much during the day, but no relapsed. Yesterday I decided to cut the videos down. Today it was much less. I want to get to zero, with study exception. But I have FOMO, which is funny because I don’t have that same urgency with my life. I aim to change that.
Day 0
Relapsed after only sleeping 3h. Don’t know what happened tonight. Falling forward, I wish.
Hey, I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through this. Relapsing doesn’t erase all the progress you’ve made — it just means you’re human and struggling, and that’s okay. Lack of sleep can hit hard and make everything feel overwhelming. Please be gentle with yourself right now. Falling forward still means you’re moving, still trying. That matters. You’re not alone - I’m here for you.
