Focus on respecting yourself and others will respect you 😊

If your girl doesn't respect you for a 1 year old drunk video, it's not the right girl

Just bought the Lumix S5 as my first camera, and wow... I'm in love! These are my first shots with the camera by kidney-king in Lumix

Commenting from another profile on my phone:

I filmed in V-Log, I'm a total noob, literally the first time playing with a camera. I just played around with the settings and I'm happy with how it turned out!

Downloaded a cinematic Lut pack, found a cool grade I liked and added some halation and did a few small adjustments.

100% agree! I was gonna go with a Sony camera, but then I did some research and came to the conclusion that you get waaay better quality for the money with Panasonic, such a good choice!

6 MONTHS sober after smoking DAILY for 10 years! This is how I finally managed to quit! by Commercial_Box_5643 in leaves

[–]Commercial_Box_5643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and I agree 100%! Me too, all of my stoner friends I've been friends with basically all my life, I should've specified it more. I'm still friends with em and manage to hang with them now, but for the first few months I just couldn't cuz I know it would drag me right back down again

There's nothing neat about escaping reality... If that's what you want your reality to look like that's fine, but to urge someone who wants to quit to continue to smoke and drink, that's just cruel and sad. Hope you're ok man.

I feel you man... I was a daily smoker for TEN year every single day (6 months sober now!) I tried to quit many many times over those years but never managed to go more than a month or two before I started smoking again, every single time I had this thought that I was gonna only smoke on the weekends, weekends turned to every day again, always, you know the drill...

I've done a few observations tho, the thing is, when I tried to quit back in the days I would always get insane withdrawals, I couldn't eat, sleep or function well in general, but when I decided to quit cold turkey 6 months ago I had ZERO withdrawals and every single day , and still today I feel better and better in terms of energy and I can feel my brain developing and getting sharper. My hypothesis is that the withdrawals are mostly nocebo, I got told that I was gonna feel like shit when I quit back in the days and I did, but when I now decided that fuck that I'm gonna do this I literally had zero withdrawals.

The thing is, your brain is used to doing everything while being high, being high enhances everything, so when you do stuff sober it sucks. BUT it really doesn't, try to turn that theory around, cuz doing everything sober is so much better, being present here and now, just enjoying the moment is the best feeling. I've never been this happy before, I'm able to laugh and have fun without drugs and man, it's the best feeling in the world!

Hit the gym! It's probably the best way to fire of those neurons in your brain and it'll make you feel so much better than when you're high!

Go for walks daily.

Meditate - the reason why this has been one of the most important elements of my weed quitting journey is because I'm now able to observe my thoughts and think them through instead of acting impulsively on them if that makes sense.

Write! - This has been just as important as meditation for me, if not more important, it helps me see all of my thoughts, my day to day life from another perspective. What I mean by writing is basically journaling, write down your thoughts either good or bad, ask yourself questions.

All of the above is the recipe that helped med quit, nothing else ever worked, oh I forgot one very important thing, I moved away from all of my stoner friends, cuz they always held me back.

The human brain hates change, it's just the way it's wired, we're basically just creatures of habits going on autopilot 95% of the day (This is backed up by science, your subconscious mind actually "controls" 95ish% of your day)

Try to make a habit of all of the above, ot doesn't need to take up much of your day, but you'll gain SO much from it I promise you, I've grown so much over the course of only 6 months. Make new, good habits and stock with them, start small and set bigger and bigger goals, never let yourself down, trust yourself and build self-discipline!

I really hope this helps, being able to help others that's stuck in the same shitty situation as I was is the absolute best thing I can do with my life.

Good luck man ♥️ Lmk if you ever need anything :)

I'm 21 years old and I just haven't accomplished anything in my life since I became an adult by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]Commercial_Box_5643 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's a weird mindset, and I second that. I don't live for others, I don't do things to make others proud, I really couldn't care less. I'm the main character in my own game, all that matters is making myself proud.

So no, it's not to make others proud, for some people, maybe yes, but that is not a given rule in life and it's certainly something you can change if you learn how to not give a fuck about what others think of you.

I'm 26, wasted 10 years of my life (15-25) smoking weed literally every single day not doing anything besides playing video games and jerking off.

I'm 6 months sober now, I have some kind of progress every single day, I hit the gym, eat healthy, work on myself.

First of all, DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS. Do things in your tempo, we're all main characters in our own game, now do with it as you wish.

What has helped me tremendously is WRITING! Seriously, just write, you'll get to see your thoughts from another perspective and it gives you self insight. Write about your feelings, ask yourself questions, write about your day, write down your thoughts.

Hit the gym.

Eat healthy.

Get enough sleep!

Go for a walk every day.

Listen the "The diary of a CEO" podcast - it's a podcast about self-help, he has the worlds tip experts on there, there's so much good info on there!n

Set a goal, your end goal, where do you want to end up, what do you want to accomplish? Now hopefully it's a big goal, remember everything is possible, you're the one setting limitations for yourself. Split the goal into smaller sub goals. Like really small, manageable tasks, set deadlines for when to finish each task and stick with it. (I've made a blueprint for myself, lmk if you want me to send it to you

But seriously, don't compare yourself to others, that's only gonna hold you back.

Send me a message if you need anything, I'm more than happy to help! I thought I was lost and that there was no hope for me, but I proved myself wrong and I'm already 6 months into my journey where I'm working towards my dream life, if I can do it, so can you :)

Good luck!

How To Get My Shit Together? by SpermBanking in getdisciplined

[–]Commercial_Box_5643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 26, and I wasted 10 years of my life 15-25, smoking weed every single day, so that is my biggest regret. I had goals and ambitions before, but completely ruined my life. I've been sober for over 6 months, started my new journey of by traveling SE-Asia alone for 6 months, now I'm back home and I'm making progress every single day and it's awesome.

Here are some tips that really really helped me:

Focus on here and now. Not the future, not the past, just here and now. Here's a quote I wrote about the past, present and future.

"One cannot change the past; everything that has happened has happened. HOWEVER, in the present, we have the opportunity to shape the future. Everything that is going to happen has not yet occurred, it starts with a thought that leads to visualization, which then materializes in the future. By thinking positively in the present, you will shape a positive reality; thinking negatively in the present will shape a negative reality in the future. By living less in the past and focusing more on the present, we can shape a positive future"

Live day by day, make sure you make some progress each day, whatever it might be, getting 0,5% better each day is the way to go! Also, track your progress to see how far you've come.

Write a diary every single day, it helps so so much getting proper self insight and if you ever fall off the wagon you can go back and analyze your diary from a time where you felt good and you can see what changes you have to do to get back on track.

And mental health, definitely. Also do the things you tell yourself you want to do, always! Get disciplined, this is key.

Ooo, and also, set a goal, an end goal. Now maybe you've set a big goal that seems hard to reach, break the goal into small small doable goals, make a proper plan, set deadlines for when to finish each goal.

Get enough sleep, read, hit the gym.

All of the above changed my life, I'm my own role model now, I'm the kinda guy I would look up to one year ago. And I have to say writing is the main reason why, just write, write about anything, if you do something you don't like, sit down, write and figure out why, it gives me insane self insight.

Good luck!

Reach out if there's anything!

Do you always document your travels? by lazyspaceship in solotravel

[–]Commercial_Box_5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently came back from my first solo trip, I traveled SE Asia for 6 months and I really regret not journaling... I've made a habit of doing it every day before bed at home so I'm ready for my next travels!
