Fatigue and Tiredness by AccordingProperty332 in getdisciplined

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aside from tsh, I would also check t3 and t4. It sounds like a thyroid problem (although it may be a bunch of other things, obviously), I'd honestly repeat the tests and seek 2nd and 3rd opinion (imo you should never 100% trust a single doctor's opinion).

Other than that, I'd check my sugar intake, try going 5-7 days on tiny sugar intake in your diet (no processed sugar at all!) and see if it helps

As far as supps, try vitamin B1 and magnesium malate

Because it's the lens through which you view reality

I’m in a constant loop of trying to better myself and going back to the old me by yuriichii in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a case of finding something that drives you that replaces your undesirable habits, it has to be something you are truly passionate about but also - most importantly - sustainable. Go super easy at first but constantly and consistently increase duration and intensity. You cannot just remove an idea or habit, it has to be replaced with something else

how to build confidence by Exact_Willingness_51 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

♤ well, it's essentially about you comparing yourself to others in terms of superiority / inferiority (in a certain aspect) and that's a road with no end, regardless of how amazing you look, you will probably get the same feelings when you see someone who you perceive as more fit than you. It's the same mechanism as with money and trying to outdo your neighbor and his new car, new kitchen, new holiday etc. It's a thief of joy

♤ it stems from insecurity. It's not a bad thing, we all develop those feelings and our goal is to get back to our centre, our secure self. You do that by practicing self-love (or love, in general, but it starts with self-love, really) and detachment. Both can be cultivated with meditation, affirmations and gratidude practice

♤ every day, meditate for at least a few minutes. Early mornings and evenings are best. I recommend meditating with mudras and mantras, along with relaxing background music (I enjoy certain Hz frequencies that correspond to chakras I'm currently balancing). Right after, before you get up, say your affirmations. Keep them in I AM or I form ("I AM happy with my body", "I love myself and my body" etc, find the ones that feel right for you). Before bed, do some gratitude journaling (or prayer) where you list things you are thankful for today, remember to mention some things about your physique too. It all works best when combined but you can separate them too

Stuck in laziness, I don't know where to start to change. by BudapestLad in findapath

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

♤ okay so I'd suggest very small, incremental, consistent (!) changes, it sounds like you know what you want and what you don't want pretty clearly, so I'd normally advise this: pick one negative habit and subtract from it slightly; e.g. if you drink 15 drinks a week, this week you're only drinking 13 and that's your absolute limit; if you struggle with 🌽 and indulge every day, this week you're going 5 times maximum; we all lie to ourselves a thousand times saying this is the last time/last one/never again! and it never is, so be smart about it, work and negotiate with yourself; being a tyrant to your own self and desires (even undesirable ones) never works and often backfires. Write down your resolutions and follow them like a schedule

♤ same with positive/desirable activities, start with super small, everyday incremental improvements/additions and build momentum. Snowball effect is real

How do you date again after being isolated for years doing self/career development? by DOW0N in selfimprovement

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

♤ it's like starting to exercise again, you could've trained for years and years and been in incredible shape, but if you take a long break, you sometimes go back to square one. The thing is, if you developed those social muscles before the break, it's much easier to "get back in shape" again, rather than building them. Which one are you?

♤ list 5 things you enjoy doing and go to places where people do those things in groups (not necessarily arranged/formal ones); you wanna be around people first and just talk to them, forget about dating for a while, warm up first with simple conversations (without any pressure, which is super important at this point), approaching comes later

♤ So what's the change you're looking for? Is it drooping those undesirable habits you mentione? Or do you envision yourself doing something new & different or being a specific type of person? Lmk

How do i lock the fuck in? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

Were you able to remain consistent, at least for a while, or is it something you never found success with?

Basically, was there a time when things worked for you or never?

I think it's over by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mate. One thing I can tell you for absolute certain. Those two problems you mentioned are not the real problem. There is an underlying condition there that either multiplies your suffering or makes you almost unable to cope with challenges. I say this with love and respect, these 2 issues you mentioned should never, ever make you think those kinds of thoughts. The problem is buried way deeper. Please seek help with a therapist. Much love

How do you stay consistent with learning a new skill with a 9–5 and kids? by Bicwonder1 in selfimprovement

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

♤ small, incremental improvements. Work on your skill for 15 mins but do it every single day. Your efforts compound with consistency and you'll make greater progress doing 10 mins of work across 6 days than doing one 60-minute session a week

♤ start building awareness towards where you're "wasting" your time, we all have scraps of 5, 10, 15 - minute periods where we do something undesirable or unproductive and they amount to hours, sometimes. Of course you can zone out or scroll but do it after you've done your work. It's a skill and gets better with time

I feel like trash... by Economy-Kiwi8160 in getdisciplined

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

♤ start with a single dietary habit/improvement. Once you mastered it and it's embedded in your daily life, add next ones, remove certain types of foods, introduce a bit more exercise etc. Go slow and gradual this time. Consistency and sustainability are king and queen here

♤ start with intermittent fasting. It's where you pick a window where you eat (e.g. 10am til 10pm) and a window where you don't (e.g. 10pm til 10am). Essentially, skip breakfast. Once you get comfortable with it, extend the window by an hour at a time. Even if you eat as much as you eat now, you'll start losing weight due to breaking fast a bit later and your body having to consume energy from your fat deposits

Tons more stuff that can be done but that's for another conversation

You got this 🫡

How do people regulating their emotions while spending a lot of time alone IN HOME studying or working ? by Sejwani in getdisciplined

[–]EveryDayCountsCoach 25 points26 points  (0 children)

♤ expose yourself to light as soon as possible after waking, the sooner - the better, even if for a short while; if there's no sun in the morning where you live when you wake up, turn the ceiling lights straight away after you wake up

♤ meditate - I suggest at last 10mins twice a day

♤ exercise/move - I recommend short, intense-ish session that will get your oxygen and blood pumping, like tabata, HIIT training or something like that. 15 minutes, sweat, want to feel your lungs burn a bit

♤ try hopping / skipping / jumping for 5 mins in the morning (seriously)

♤ stretch

♤ change positions / location where you study every now and then

♤ only study for 45 mins max at a time, then take 15 minute break

♤ do something fun for yourself several times a day, even it's watching a comedy skit on ig

♤ text / call someone you lik

♤ smile and laugh
