Become the best version of myself

I am starting this thread to become the better version of myself.

Right now, I have having difficties with Tv show , mobile and porn addiction.
I have used a blocker to counter that.

I want to improve myself daily in a regular basis. I will start my journey from tomorrow.
First step is to improve my schedule

 

Today, I start my journey towards self improvement.

I slept at 5 am. But I got up at 8:30. My first challenge is to improve my sleep cycle.

 

New goals

• Get more knowledge
• Read a lot on Quora
• I need to be updated about daily news
• Read news on Live law and Indian Express
• I need to be updated all the present happenings
• Watch videos on History

 

I do it but not regularly. Because of the addictions I had stopped doing all three all together.

Yesterday, I resumed again with Gym and yoga.

 

This is my To do list for today

• Gym
• Yoga
• Cooking
• Read news
• Watch History/ Educational Videos

 

Note to myself

I need to start concentrating on my diet as well.

High fibre protein rich diet

• Sprouts
• Nuts
• Milk
• Porridge
• Soyabean

 

I will try to read 20 pages of the book Win your inner battles.

 

That's really important. Generally , I have a tendency to set too many goals.

But I have always learnt it is better to keep you aim high. So that you keep on striving to do more in a day. Otherwise, feeling of complacency set in. On the other hand, there is disappointment for not achieving your goals of the day when I have too much goals.

But I would try to maintain a balance. And that is where I feel updating my journal everyday will go a long way. Also, I would need the support of this community to keep me motivated.

I already feel the supportmsupport coming in from my fellow members.
Thanks a lot Guys!!

 

I am finding it really tough to fix my sleep cycle. I slept at 10 pm but now I am awake. It's 12 am in my country.

I don't seem to able to fix it. This is making me very stressful. I was in a habit of sleeping around 4-5 am last 15 days. I got up at 8-9 am last 2 days. But still I am not able to sleep before 4. I feel sleepy before that but then it's only for a nap. I automatically get up in 1-2 hrs.

 

After so many days of addiction to my phone ( Tv shows, Movies , YouTube and Porn) I had stopped living my life. I had become a couch potato. It made me very lazy and unhappy.

But now I am getting myself back on track. This makes me realise often what I am passionate about. These are 2 things

• Becoming an intellectual giant
• Maintaining good health

Becoming an intellectual giant

1. Resumed my Economics course on Khan Academy
2. Started with Indian History course

This is a long battle. I need to be dedicated to my goal. But somehow I end up losing sight of it after some days and go back to phone addiction.

So, this time I would have to something new which keeps me focussed on my goal.

In the first one month I would concentrate on completing History and Economics courses. This would be the first step.

Health

• Yoga
• Gym

Right now I am ill. So, I am not able to do gym. But I will do meditation if I get somewhat better.

 

I need help to become a voracious reader. I can't seem to concentrate more than 5 mintues .

 

From tomorrow, I start my ten day journey to Nofap. I have told my girlfriend I won't do sexting with her. I won't meet her as well.

 

Day 1 - 23rd August

I was awake since 12 am. It was really tough not to sleep after 9 but I had to change my schedule. At last, I was able to manage not sleep. I took 2 short naps. Around 9 PM I slept but got up at 11:30 pm. Then I turned on sleep music and went into light sleep till 3:30.

Now, myvaim for today is to be awake till 8 pm. I want to have good deep leep today.
