I will try to update like I used to before.

Daily goals :white_check_mark:

As you can see in the check-list I have given my daily goals :basketball: obscure names but ones which I understand. I will reveal them, perhaps, if asked, when I reach day 90.

Streak counter :calendar:

I do not use the app so I have no sharing code :1234: I will update the streak on this thread.

Replies, comments, likes :heart:

I appreciate all interactions with my diary :sparkles: However I would prefer if anyone is interested to keep it to likes and comment only what you feel is necessary. Always free to reach out via private messaging though.

Regarding challenges :crossed_flags:

I have seen various challenges in this forum. Currently I am not in the place to participate in any of them. I have my own quest I wish to master first :crossed_swords: Hence I do not need invitation to any challenge but if I find any challenge interesting I will be sure to join in.


I am disciplined.
I am motivated.
Even when I do not feel like taking action I do it anyway.
I do not listen to the nonsensical whims of my mind that doesn’t know better.
I never rest. Even if I cannot do all I do what I can.
I always improve.
I always win.
With CHRIST, I can do all things.

Because that is my calling.
It is who I am meant to be.
I am Disciplined Self, and this is my diary.


I hope my dairy helps someone in the future
Most of all, it will help me

Day 1

:bulb: Reflections

Did not spend today well.
Lots of urges, fighting them and staying on the path. A relapse now would mean I would lose everything I fought to get to far.
Not in a good mental place right now. External circumstances are not ideal.

I will not always be in such a bad position. But if I make poor choices today, those choices will affect me in the future. Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that matters.

What went wrong:
I should have been more strict in my dopamine detox. But now my mind feels overloaded with unnecessary information. Due to the passive information dump.

What I will change tomorrow:
Be more strict about my dopamine detox.

:bulb: Today’s big idea

Master Speed

Why is it we are so quick to act on unnecessary cheap dopamine but so slow to act on doing the right things? Quick to pick up the phone and doom scroll but slow to sit down and work on your projects.

What you need is to master speed

You have ideas, but the second you get them you think thoughts.
What if I can’t?
What will others think?
What if I fail?
I am not capable.

Then you hesitate, procrastinate and don’t take action. Then wonder why your life does not change…

Understand :
The faster you act, the faster you learn
The faster you learn, the faster you grow,
The faster you grow, the faster you will achieve success

So act with haste
Excute with quickness

Master speed and you will achieve the life of your dreams.
The moment you think about something good to do, do it. No hesitation.
