It’s funny how similar our journeys are. Just relapsed after 7 days. I have been in a spiral for the last little while.
All I can say is keep fighting the good fight and it’s not over till it’s over
Relapse is a part of the journey but don’t make it as an excuse. Do the best possible outcomes to resist an urge
What do you think is going on with you at the moment? I also feel we’re on the same sort of journey and whatever you’re going through might be what I’m going through.
I just don’t know exactly what it is I’m going through
Day 8:
Feeling similar to last few days. Definitely dead but i felt a spark or two of life today. I need to cultivate that and get past this plateau
I want to do good i just don’t know how
Well done on your progress bro. Both you and @Christ-is-king. You have the strength
Day 0:
I fell off again. The last week was leading to this anyway. I didn’t do anything to fight my low motivation and general decay. I sat binging shows in bed, feeling dead and waiting until I was exhausted before sleeping. Felt nothing for so long I wanted to feel something so I ended up relapsing.
I am mixing it up from today though. This morning I decided to try something new. I have set a nature sound alarm on my phone for every 30 minutes. When it sounds I am making a prayer and taking some time to reflect. Slowing myself down and being stricter with myself on everything.
Eating less food, not laying in bed, not watching mindless shows, and doing one task at a time so I don’t get distracted
The prayer idea was great, it made a massive difference to my day.
I didn’t really have the time to act passively and that’s usually where I end up making a mistake.
Throughout the day, whether I was working, reading, driving or talking I took a moment to supplicate and reflect.
It was actually a good day today. I’m massively pleased despite a terrible week last week , probably the lowest week of the year.
But I’m looking forward not backwards
Congrats on such a positive change. Be diligent and do so every day. Live your life well man. I am very, very happy to hear of your progress today . Progress that you have yourself to thank for.
Day 1:
This morning has also been better than usual. I’m carrying on with the prayers every 30 minutes
I’m also going to try a burpee challenge. I’ll try to do as many burpees as I can in one go. I’m starting at a normal set taking it easy and increasing by one each time probably increase by one each day, currently on 13
