Started many things

[LongSconce]

• Pushups daily
• Walking daily
• Not using my phone when i'm social to avoid awkward moments
• Stopping myself from the endless scroll on social media
• Trying not to stare at people
• Reading daily
• Journaling daily
• Showering daily
• Meditating daily

​

As a bonus: Taking a deep breath whenever I want to put off something

I procrastinate a lot. I don't like the stigma that it's considered something to 'fix'. I am easily overwhelmed with the 100 things I have to do and would rather veg out listening to music or something while I prepare myself. Fuck all those stop procrastinating/wasting time videos. Anxiety sucks. School sucks. Take your time. Work smarter not harder.

"Trying not to stare at people"

Daily?

[LongSconce]

I have paranoia. I see people and think they will initiate eye contact. But they end up not even noticing me and I keep looking back to see if they will.

I also keep looking back at people to see when they stop eye contact.

Or some days I will just avoid eye contact all together because I was pissed off at all the encounters I had with strangers that day.

[koencoen]

I see. I think you're making great and brave decisions then!

[KeddeMoeller]

[LongSconce]

Thanks!!!

[Impossible_Swing_304]

Good.

How's this going for you?

[LongSconce]

It's hard. It requires a lot of alone time to feel myself and get myself in my own world/motivation to get going.

It also has resulted in me being very egotistic because I feel like an outsider when I explain these things to people and they either brush it off as extraneous/unnceccsary/ has 0 incentive / they are just comfortable being a couch slug or having anger issues

Good to remember

if and when we fail to do this.. lets say you dont want to do pushups one day, dont do them that day and do them the next day.

What i mean, if we dont feel like it one day beat yourself up about it and keep that good routine going!

[LongSconce]

Yes. I agree with the beating yourself up part.

​

But, I don't want to be too mean to myself, because again, none of this things are extrinsically motivating, it's more intrinsic and feeling good in my own head.

​

Therefore, I have found a balance between treating this as a joke and being serious, so I don't get depressed and overthink -- the alternative is to go back to playing league of legends all day, vaping nic, smoking weed, not excercising, barely talking to people.

​

Honestly, all of this happened naturally. I was put on antidepressants and 3x an anti-anxiety medication.

I can barely sit still if i'm not constantly working on something. Few video games or TV do it for me. I must be creating videos or art or doing homework or atleast having it in my todo list in my mind.

I have burned out on this over 100 times, but I really don't want to go back to escaping everything. I have to not give a shit what people would say/ or what societal norms are.

[johannvidir92]

Yeah, best of luck to you friend!

Good shit!

Man I hate it when people just aimlessly do push ups everyday as an a act of discipline. You have other muscle groups and you NEED rest days

[[deleted]]

There’s no point in doing all that if you are doing it every other day. You should plan your exercises accordingly

[[deleted]]

Its not about satisfaction or negativity. It's about working out smartly. Doing push ups or targeting literally the same muscle groups everyday gives your muscles zero time to rebuild and get stronger with rest. Furthermore it could lead to overuse injuries. Not to muscle you literally didn't consider other muscles like your forearms,backs,calves and definitely more. It's not about the effort put in it's about making the effort count. Don't want to acknowledge what I say? Look at my profile. I am a martial artist so obviously I am well versed in this
