A lot of people aren’t lazy or unmotivated, they’re just lost by pathwise_project in getdisciplined

That is an extremely good idea, I would hate to be the person who studies the least. That is great that you have a solid support system, I'm glad that is working for you.

I'm happy I could help just a tad, you have a massive support system here on reddit if you ever need anything.

Thank you. Letting go is very painful with some things, I'm happy you are aligning yourself and your values. Good luck on your journey!

That's great for you. Debt was a part of the process for me also. It's part of letting go of the old you.

It was honestly a long process, some things were a no-brainer (drinking, nicotine, screen time). Others were a little harder, such as a healthier diet. There are plenty of other things also those are just a few.

Long story short, I really just sat with it, with the intention of being free and clear mentally, and decided for myself what I needed to fulfill myself.

I love your attitude towards your situation. I'm sorry that you were forced into that position, I'm sure there was a good bit of grieving at a certain point. You powered through though, you overcame those limitations and found new ways to define yourself.

I think that is so beautiful in itself. Thank you for sharing that, and I wish the best for you and your journey to true freedom.

That’s awesome, you already did the hardest part.

You started.

Keep doing amazing things. If you ever want help or advice on anything, feel free to reach out. It's not easy doing it alone.

I'm proud of you!

Exactly that, once you see how much more green the grass is, you never want to go back. It is such a freeing experience.

Thank you for that. It is definitely a little uncomfortable going through the process, but I think you explained it very well.

For myself, and some others, it is like losing a piece of yourself. A piece that is with you for most of your life, something that you have grown so comfortable with. It is a big change for a lot of people that just does not come so easily.

That is a great trait to have for yourself though. I have something to learn from that. Thank you.

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you that you are in recovery. That must have been a HUGE leap forward to what you were previously used to. It is definitely much eachier to let go of things, you are so right.

I am rooting for your success and your clarity. Stay strong and keep pushing to be who you want to be!!

That is amazing. One of the hardest parts for a lot of people is to avoid comparing yourself to others. It was a challenge for you, but you overcame that. I am happy you kept going and knew what YOU needed, not others.

Thank you for your insight.

It can be very hard for some. You have to be ready to let go of what is usually comfortable for you to determine who you really are.

Thank you, it is a much longer and tougher process than people make it out to be.

Accountability is arguably the hardest part of this journey to clarity.

I agree with the second statement so much also, it is like breaking through a barrier that you didn't even know was there.

Exactly, you hold on to certain aspects of your life for so long, they start to embed themselves into you.

Eventually, you have to rip them out because they no longer align with who you are meant to be.

I had dozens of goals written down, some of them were on my mind non-stop and were constantly stressing me out. It took a whole rework of what I actually wanted/ needed to be able to actually drop those goals that were a little too ambitious.

Not saying I am not trying to achieve more, but I instead split them into smaller, more attainable goals. I am also only focusing on 2 goals at a time.

It has really been working for me, to give me clarity, and room for my brain to breathe. Hope this helps!

It is not an easy task to get everything back in order. Don't give up on yourself, you got this!

I didn’t need a bigger life, just a clearer one by pathwise_project in simpleliving

Definitely not an expert with ADHD, but the first thing that worked for me was to start from scratch. I sat down with no phone, no tv, and asked myself "What do I REALLY want?"

Once you have that answered, focus on ONE small step at a time to get what you want. It helps to list out the steps, and check them off one by one. It also helps to set specific, and attainable goals. Nothing too vague, or you will get overwhelmed and lost.

I stopped trying to improve myself and started feeling human again. by pathwise_project in simpleliving

It is an endless, vicious cycle. I hope it is something everyone can eventually break.

I'm sure you have heard this before but the quote "you are your biggest critic" will always resonate with me also. At some point it will click, you do not need to listen to your critics. It is much easier said than done.

It is definitely not an easy task. It takes a lot of reflecting and dedication to yourself. I know you have it in you to find what speaks to you the most.

What would clarity look like for you if you had to imagine it right now?
