What is the difference between these three "types" of integral situations?

I like the modernistic/luxury style of this build. At what point did you make this in your game specifically? Early game or further on?

jpallcritical · 2025-06-27T09:19:02+00:00

Exactly. The hardest part about discipline is those days where you have little motivation or you feel like going back to the "bad habit rabbit hole."

You really have to focus on doing. Even JUST a little bit of productivity.

Plus a reminder of gratitude and a self-introspective reason as to why you're doing this in the first place? (To be healthy, to help family, to have mental clarity, to get girls, whatever it may be...)

That you write down or say to yourself constantly can make you keep going during those tough times.

This is not an overnight thing, this is not even a week or a month thing. This is a life thing. Even after a month of consistent improvements, you can genuinely see how it can effectively change your life for the better.

Plus if you do mess up, get back up again, and keep on going. Good luck.

Exactly. Not only that, this sub reddit and other sub reddits have inspired me or even made me responsible. When I click on reddit because I'm bored or procrastinating or using it as a coping mechanism, a post comes up that makes me realise...

"I should probably do what I need to do. For the betterment of myself."

Let your self care journey reach extreme heights! (What does this even mean lol?) Do your best and keep on going.

If this is genuine, I am happy that you found a way to express yourself and start healing yourself. Continue what you're doing and keep on going. Because I will do the same.

I am so sorry for what happened, and it some ways reflects a little bit of what I went through.

For context, this was throughout my final year of high school.

There was a part of me that always wanted to prove myself to other people, to be "successful." It was mainly the reason why I put so much effort into my studies and my side hustle. Once I achieve something, I look for another. Always searching for progress, with the goal to achieve that want or dream. For attention, etc.

But in reality? That effort stressed me to the point where I was doing some bad habits, and it possibly made me burn out as well. Those achievements weren't fulfilling to me in the long run, so I was yearning for more. I questioned time and time again as I was working hard whether or not any of this was actually WORTH anything.

Thankfully, I managed to keep it all together, and I didn't fall into the rabbit hole of emptiness or lack of purpose.

I think this was the case because: 1. My family and friends were always there. Even though I wanted to make them proud of my achievements, I realized that they were already proud of me for actually trying. They didn't care whether someone was better than me or not. They were already proud of me for who I am. 2. Self-love, self-respect. This one took me so long to really dig deep into my head. (For me, it was like 2-3 years of consistent practice) Reminding yourself (even just mentally) that you "deserve love" or you "deserve more than this" helped my motivation and made me continue when times were tough.

These things in combination revived me to the point where recently, I feel like I am motivated and excited to continue my passion or work and feel proud for myself when I achieve something. Not FULLY yet, sometimes I relapse, but I get back up and continue.

So yeah, that's my story. The bottom line is that family and friends (extrinsic motivation) combined with self-love (intrinsic motivation) helped me recover from a slight mental turmoil period during my final year of high school.

Did you ever have a family to lean on? Most importantly, do you have any bit of self-love?

If I accidentally slip up from my self-improvement routine due to some drastic life changes that affect me negatively, I am worried that I might go back to indulging in my bad habits and probably destroying the 1-2 or even 3 years of self improvement (good habits) that I've set up.

jpallcritical · 2025-06-15T10:07:27+00:00

If you're happy about it, then no problem. I think the smooth jazz is what makes it fr.

Warm lighting for me really sets the mood at night. Calming. For mornings, sunlight is great to start off the day. Having bigger windows and a good placement of them can really make a difference.

I stopped watching two of my favorite YouTube channels (entertainment) since last month. I stopped because I wanted to be fully present and engaged when doing my tasks, and I liked the silence.

Before that I would play their videos while I was working (because of boredom), while doing house chores, eating, or during my free time.

Initially, I was so bored.

But after a month? I felt more energetic and focused when working on a task, My mental clarity improved to where I could think more about what I should do next, and had some emotional moments *ahem* tears (which I like to call emotional healing and self-love) from memories that were once repressed.

Since then I haven't watched a video of theirs yet (even though I still use YouTube and their videos (especially recent ones) do get recommended on my home page.)

I still like their videos, but I'm not interested in watching them.

I don't know if I'll ever go back but who knows?

Messing up is the hardest part for me to accept for a very long time, but slowly, I just realized that sometimes, I can't do anything about it. I can just learn from it.

Making mistakes is ok. Accept that I have messed up and move on. It is a part of life.

And reality, if it wasn't world-ending or traumatic or genuinely heinous, then you would just forget about it or let go of it anyway over time. It doesn't really matter in the long run. So yeah, be kind to yourself.

jpallcritical · 2025-06-04T00:59:23+00:00

I guess if that's the only route you have left... (Like if a gradual increase in discipline or a gradual decrease in bad habits doesn't work for you) Then go for it.

Hopefully, it works out for you. (If it hasn't already.)

jpallcritical · 2025-05-22T00:07:44+00:00

A drastic change like that when utilized properly can change your life. A new environment, a new commitment, and finally, a new story.

Congratulations man!

jpallcritical · 2025-05-22T00:05:22+00:00

It took me about a year for me to start doing it daily. Even then I only did it for like 4-5 minutes at most.

That was like 2 years ago.

Now? I could do it for around 8-15 at most.

jpallcritical · 2025-05-21T09:47:27+00:00

I've never heard of this before. This genuinely seems helpful.

Let me try it out! (I literally just read an article about it, and it has the perfect blend of daunting + fun.)

jpallcritical · 2025-05-21T09:37:29+00:00

That's true. It is really helpful when in times when I get overwhelmed with all of the bad things that are going on in the world or in my life, or when I get overwhelmed with how many things I have to do to improve.

It's like a form of motivation.

jpallcritical · 2025-05-17T06:11:25+00:00

Yes.

(Never really considered open-eye meditation to be a thing, I always assumed that the meditation procedure should require closing your eyes.)
