So, I struggle a lot in doing things consistently.
I've tried infinite approaches in order to do at least one thing every single day. But so far, nothing has worked.
Abilities I must learn before the year ends:
- Web development
- Advanced skills in the Python language
- Advanced skills in lucid dreaming
- Ability to communicate and understand the English language well
- Communication in general
- I must also develop a daily meditation routine along with an exercise plan.
Obviously, all these things require consistent practice.
There's no time to waste, I must start today.
So what I'm supposed to do to keep going no matter what?
I honestly don't know. I've tried everything! Now, I'm just tired.
I'm done trying to find a way. I have all the motivation needed: my family, my future, my dreams, my stupid past, ... That's all I was supposed to need in order to keep going, but yet I'm still here, "TRYING".
Maybe my brain is just full of dopamine thanks to my addiction (which is the main problem) and so the things that give a little amount of it are harder to do.
But I said I'm done trying!
The real problem is that addiction! Well, believe me when I say I hate myself for being weaker than this shit.
So the problem is me being weaker than that high concentration of dopamine
can't stop trying
[ 4 ] DAYS WITHOUT ACCIDENT
Virtual hugs. Hang in there! I hope things get better. The only thing that works for me is this: I have a bet going with my sister - if I don't study my two languages daily, I have to pay her $25 for each day missed. She has a list of things she has to do also or she has to pay me. It works for us. Nothing else works for me. I think it mostly works because we're supporting each other emotionally and have regular check-ins. And we have to explain why we couldn't achieve something and how we plan to change things to get it done. If something major (like an illness) occurs, we give each other a break. Also, only try to add one thing at a time. Otherwise it's too overwhelming. Blessing from the USA.
@TriciaSutton Thank you! It's very good to have someone to go along with you on the journey!
Hi José. At the risk of stating the obvious. Have you tried writing down what you want to accomplish in the day/week? And I agree with Tricia...don't make the list too long at first. It has to be "doable". I have found that a bullet journal has helped me keep organized and on track with what I need to do each week. I just started it earlier this year, so still to be seen if I keep with it. Good luck!
@A_C Thank you! Yes, I do have a to-do list. In fact, it's been 4 days since I've been doing my good habits consistently.
