Captain Obvious, reporting in! He says: "As long as you have learned something in this failing & do not forget it; as long as you keep going; as long as you maintain the growth & progress, you should be fine. Oh, & really just try not to binge!--that is the killer."

In all seriousness though: That is rough. I am sorry to hear it. But...we are here for you! Pick up the pieces as fast as you can, & carry on as you might! God bless! Godspeed!

Hey, remember to be kind to yourself ; ) You’re a Celestial warrior having a mortal experience!

@Azzure thanks for the kind words, i value feeling the urgency of this finite life, but this feeling rarely comes...

what can i do right now to know that tomorrow i will do good things?

do some love activities towards your own self

This is always an awesome experience...

Can't agree more!

Keep going.

@Fe3 thanks!

I learned to accept that you cant try to change people, rather you just accept them for who they are. You cant change everything you mind wants you to. The only thing you can landscape is your internal garden

Stay strong

@Heal2024 thanks but do you realise that means to keep training in order to have the strength right? have a great day.

You were strong enough to not answer to your urges. I’m battling urges as we speak. I don’t know where the strength is coming from but it’s there. It’s in my reserve I guess. You got strength left in your tank as well

Write down the exact things you need them to know, and say it in as little words as possible. If they would like to know more, they’ll ask questions.

If you want them to be accountability or something, be sure to ask for that. If you want them to know solely because they’re close to you and you hate hiding it, let them know that. It’s good to tell them why you’re told them.

motivation is what moves someone from depression to tenacity/willpower. but they are two different measures.

So, more motivation = more ability to exert willpower and tenacity. Now how to increase motivation?

@drmr i don't practice motivation, so i can't teach, but in the Huberman Lab podcasts episodes on dopamine there are some answers. abstaining from ones addiction is certainly a key.

Renaisance men didnt have internet back in the day, and look at what they uniquely created compared to what a modern media consumer creates which is a copy of what others do

@BranchingOut yeah sure, but even just 30 years ago. i am thinking about what musicians were up to. this overabundance of "content" is not what we should settle for. it's too much.
