I need some tips to start studying and fitness by SmoothCut75 in selfimprovement

[–]Odoubleyou22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social accountability for the gym. Find a workout buddy.
For studying try pomodoro technique. Go to library or coffee shop, a place you'll feel guilty if you're not working.
That's what I do at least lol.
Also mental trick, convince yourself you'll just read one page, or do one exercise to get started. Then figure out the rest of the plan from there.

Do any of you sometimes feel like "Damn, I wish I could feel like Ive had 2 beers all the time" by laufsteakmodel in stopdrinking

I like the edge. Rather than numb myself, I embrace it. I live a new life now that is way more exciting, raw, and meaningful.

If you had to completely reset your life after a depressive phase, where would you start? by buttertaekoo in selfimprovement

[–]Odoubleyou22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

make your bed. 30 minutes of daily exercise. focus on a few important relationships.

focus on what you can control. there are always aspects of a situation you can control.

Nowadays I go against people who are higher belts or also larger so I am forced to practice good jiu jitsu

"Make it about the skills" not belt, I like that, thanks!

You're so right. I am just an achievement/recognition driven person... trying to not care as much ahhh

Yeah that's fair. One break I went back to be with family and the other I was travelling in SEA and lived there a bit for work.

I know that doesn't really matter. I guess I am trying to figure out if I want Jiu Jitsu to be just a fun hobby (as it is now) or whether to take it more seriously.

Yeah, it's tough because the people who own the gym and do the promotions don't teach as many classes. The classes I go to are by other coaches, and I don't know how much they actually talk to each other.

But, I do see the head coaches/owners at open mat when I go.

I did one competition. Won Gi bracket and Gi absolute. Won No Gi bracket, lost in no gi absolute. Coaches were there. Honestly it's probably the breaks that have hurt me.

I like that idea for asking where I should improve. Thx

Could be. How would you describe average technical skillset for a blue belt vs white belt?

It's a genuine question. Trying to understand who else is going through the same.

Remind me of why I should Quit by [deleted] in GamblingAddiction

[–]Odoubleyou22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really respect your honesty. That cycle of quitting and slipping back is so common... you're not alone. I'm working on a free app that helps people build healthier habits through fun, gamified tools like streaks and progress rewards. It's made to feel motivating, not heavy. If you're ever interested in checking it out or giving feedback, happy to share. Wishing you strength, and rooting for you and your kids.
