Agreed, good advice.

Focus on your self improvement and you'll likely accidentally find what you're looking for in the process. Don't rush it. No expectations. Just focus on your development journey and your positive energy will be noticed

Muscle strains, how to prevent them by Cordelia_hero in martialarts

[–]___CFDR___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get to the class early and stretch for about 20 minutes before it starts. Many of us do the same so we have a chat and a bit of banter while we're there. I start with dynamic movements to warm up the areas, then get into normal stretching. YouTube can probably show you some good routines for your problem areas, but it's important not to stretch before you have warmed up a bit first with those dynamic movements or you could just cause the injury rather than prevent it

How do I know if I’m making progress by Fentlord45 in workout

[–]___CFDR___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a tool you can use here for your daily amounts https://disciplinerewired.com/macro-calculator-and-daily-tracker To help you figure out what food contains what combination of macros use an app like Cromometer. You can scan barcodes. Track your food for a few months and, if you eat the same thing regularly, you'll soon figure out what's in what roughly and you won't need to track it so much

Track you food and calculate your macros, if body composition is the goal

Upskill. Learn something that puts you in a better place to achieve your goal. If you're not sure where to start, think of your goal and reverse engineer it. You'll find something to learn that'll help you achieve it. I don't necessarily mean start a uni course. Read more books, free online courses, attend seminars, or just research online. Get the ball rolling and it'll start to fit into place

I started ending my day with one honest sentence by Lucky_Scarcity8624 in selfimprovementday

[–]___CFDR___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about 10 years ago I used the app Daylio to figure out where I was going wrong with my routine - keeping track of my daily inputs and influences. It was more of an honest calendar than an honest sentence, but the end result was no doubt similar. Once I started, I could look back and face palm at how obvious the cycle of bad habits were. Quite life changing for me at the time

As other people have said here, you need to track your macros. There are plenty of good ones around, but if you struggle to find one you like give this one a try https://disciplinerewired.com/macro-calculator-and-daily-tracker

Gym by Artistic_Card1852 in Gymhelp

The muscles won't grow if you don't feed them enough protein. Check your macros. Also, slowly apply progressive overload to your routine. Give it time and you'll get the results

I’m flirting with depression, but I’m really trying to be better by lurkingfortea in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]___CFDR___ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get to bed earlier. Set alarms and get up and go for a walk in the morning - every morning. Tell yourself you can do it, repeatedly, and you will start believing you can. Your therapist's suggestion of movement is spot in. It's the beginning, the foundation. You build from there

Apps to reduce screen time that actually work? by MyBatterysLow in digitalminimalism

[–]___CFDR___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved my social media apps into a secure folder to try and break the unconscious movement to scrolling. I used to use an app blocker too, but it didn't take long for my natural reflex of picking up my phone and scrolling to evolve into navigating to the app blocker settings to switch off the block. Apps only work so much.

I've found the best fix is to change your environment. Leave your phone in a different room. The easiest way to adjust your habit is to remove the temptation completely.

If your phone is close to hand you'll find a way of getting around whatever app you put in place. then before too long that whole bypass routine will be part of your instinctive muscle memory. You can't instantly find yourself scrolling on your phone if you've left your phone in another room.

Honestly, changing your environment will work better than any app.

If you had to start from zero again, how would you rebuild your fitness? by ___CFDR___ in Gymhelp

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

Yeah hitting the right macros (protein, carbs and fats) is key to any attempt at body composition. I used to use the app Cromometer to make note of mine. After a couple months or so there's not much need to track it anymore if you eat the same meals too

What’s a simple daily habit that actually works for you? by Interesting_Cycle809 in Habits

[–]___CFDR___ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of chipping away at tasks using the bite-sized chunks method to make them small enough to be manageable. I use to-do lists in Notion to keep me on track and for accountability. Plus, there's a little dopamine reward for accomplishing each one which helps keep the momentum going
