For a life worth living

[Blondie]

It happens @AJ7, don't be too hard on yourself. Lessons learned.

I’m going to experiment with not counting days. Lately, I’ve had this all or nothing mindset after I slip up where I let bingeing occur due to feeling defeated. I’m wanting to shift my perspective to one of learning to process urges and emotions and not focusing on the number so much.

 

[Blondie]

Sounds good @AJ7.

 

[AJ7]

Great day! solid workout and shared some laughs and kisses with my lady.

 

[AJ7]

Did some nature exploring today which was good for the soul. I’ve noticed a few urges and fantasies pop up but I’m reminding myself to not fear them.

Day 0

My best days of recent memory have been the periods of time that I was consistently posting on here. I want to get back to that.

 

[Blondie]

I hope you're doing well today brother.

I hope you're doing well today brother.

Thanks for always encouraging my friend. I am doing better today. I was thinking earlier that if I’m going to have the life that I want, I need to fight like hell for it.

Day 2

Just gotta keep the ball rolling

 

[Blondie]

Nice @AJ7!

One day at a time.

 

[AJ7]

Day 3

Urges have been low today. Need to stay occupied and focused.

 

[TypeN]

Rooting for you AJ7!! I am confident you can get the ball rolling again, and once you have I think you will feel much better very quickly.

Day 0

Need to bounce back after the funk I’ve been in these past few days.

[Blondie]

Get back up and keep on moving!

Hi AJ7, is that Marcus Aurelius you have on your profile picture? I've recently started to look into stoicism. I find it helpful. Good luck on your journey.

Day 3

Hey @EarthWalker, yes it is! His words resonate deeply with me. I always find improvement in my perspective towards life when I read or listen to things he and other stoics have written. I’m glad you’re finding it helpful! If you’re interested, and haven’t checked it out yet, the Daily Stoic podcast with Ryan Holiday is really good where he puts his modern take on stoicism. Have a good day

Ha, talk about RH, I bought his Discipline is Destiny book yesterday. Thanks for the reminder about the podcast. I am aware of it but never really listened to it.

Onwards and upwards. Have a good day.
