Day 74 update

No

• Junk food

I did

• Rosary with my dad

My journey on this challenge is teaching me that I am not holding myself accountable. I’ve noticed that my progress is up and down. This day is up, the next day it’s down. I’ve also noticed that the past lessons keeps repeating and that means I am not holding myself accountable. I am letting myself burned by the same fire. I have this biased called “changed adversity” where there is a resistance when feedback hits me especially when it comes from my parent. I think this is due to my childhood for not getting the wisdom to process my emotions. I am now curious and willing to adjust if someone enlighten me on how to deal with this.

This is the first stage of transforming yourself.
Understanding the depth of your lack of self discipline, as well as the consequences it has on your life.

Even though some days are going to be worse than others, the important thing is to become fully aware of your actions. Allow yourself to feel the pain of failure. Every time you do this, your brain gradually learns to avoid the behavior that has caused you pain.

Stay on the path.
Step by step you will achieve your goals.

not getting the wisdom to process my emotions. I am now curious and willing to adjust if someone enlighten me on how to deal with this.

Best thing I've ever done for my mental health was to fix my diet and train as hard as I can. Sleep also plays a foundational role in your neurological health.

As soon as you get this physiological foundation set, life becomes a lot easier and negative emotions become a lot easier to process.

You might have answered this already, but do you keep any junk food in your house?

No, actually the junk food I ate the past few days are beef shawarma, avocado shake and chalknuts.

Day 76 update

Fall short to junk food + beer after resting the whole day because it’s sabbath. Me, my dad and his friends go to resto bar to eat and drink but my intention is just eat,no beer. And when they’re drunk my dad gave me 1 bottle then I did drink it.

NO

• Junk food

To be honest, I am having a hard time to fight back from the gravitational pull of my demons. It feels like all this are non sense but I know that it is not and I need to steel myself and fight back like a brave warrior. Lack of constant hammering of WHY am I doing this is needed. I need to manage how I use my time and set my non negotiable every day and night.

No way, Man. You gave me a push to start my own challenge, and I think it is so huge. Even small changes in my mind which I can feel after couple of days makes me happier and stronger. Keep your challenge UP body! Wish you a good luck and hope you are still alive!

What about your progress anyway? Is it better now? What lessons you found for the last 3 days? Have you decided to post your progress just every week not day/evening?

Sergius.

Day 78-90 update

A confession.
This is the last day of my 79 hard challenge, and this is the time where I will tell you what I've learned, and what happened to my last 12 days before the end of my 2nd quarter.

At first, before I start dwelling unto this challenge, I thought I can keep up until the end. But I was wrong, I thought it will be a smooth ride but heck it is a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs. New conditions spawn that I didn't take account of that leads me to falling short to my challenge. There was a time where I am discouraged to continue but fought back because I know that progress is not linear. Fall short and succumb to my old vice that I thought I had completely eliminated (which is watching porn and jerking off). That's what happened on my last 12 days and F*ck it, belial had a grip on my mind again. I am aware of the effects of watching porn and jerking off. The effects of porn in my brain is like smoking weeds, it keeps you comfortable and I am aware that I am not doing jack shit and my cultivated strength is slowly dripping away. I asked the Lord for help because I can't do it alone, I need his grace.

Now that I am aware of such things, instead of setting challenges of no eating junk of no this no that, I will now challenge myself to help people, build fortitude, and build my intimate relationship with God. Conquering your vices needs a replacement and without replacement, you will succumb to it again. Environment must be changed in order to change my actions.

Anyway, there's still plenty of chances to steel myself and with this knowledge gained in the past 3 months, adjustments will be applied, and the lessons will not be forgotten. I will not stop chasing excellence until it is earned! On to the next quarter!

PS: without @heavy_industry 's thread, my thread will not birth unto existence that leads to self-discovery that I am mediocre. Thank you for your guidance.
