Comfort zone challenge!

Saw a fellow do this on Reddit. I'd say it was a success. I'd join this challenge with you.

 

I post it after I do the thing? And why didn't you start?

 

G'day fapstronauts
This is an excellent challenge Mr Sruff. Everyone else, please don't start or continue petty arguments in a thread. It is unfair to the original poster. You can always confront each other on their posting habits in a private message, if you think it would be worthwhile and you have good intentions.
Blessings

 

Well, hang on now. There ARE girls on here TOO ya know!
So my challenge includes asking a MAN for his number like on online dating if we have been chatting.
And say hi AUDIBLY to a cute guy in real life.
And get back into writing affirmations more consistently.
Go ice skating today.

 

Haha I wasn't referring to you. I meant to write 'This is an excellent challenge MrCharacter. I wasn't paying enough attention ...
But the challenges you had for yourself are nonetheless excellent

 

Still have the same ones for me although after the online dating man I struck last night, not sure I even WANT to talk to ANY of them on the phone!

Go ice skating on Monday - I booked myself into a 3 hour session. Don't have to do the full 3 hours and i'll probably need a pee break but the other sessions were only 50 minutes. Yes I have work the next day most likely but I just really want to get fit again. So at the MINIMUM I skate for over 50 minutes. It's in a lovely outdoor setting as my closest ice rink is being refurbished.
I have asked some online guys about the number thing and one of the guys didn't give me his but as we've chatted a bit, he's said we should meet so I MAY have a date for drinks out on Sunday - if I doesn't chicken out and actually turns up. I haven't gotten back into affirmations yet but i DID write appreciation lists yesterday. Today is a new day!
I'm going to a board games night tonight. It's SLIGHTLY out of my comfort zone, but i have been to that event twice before. But i can be a bit shy and it's WAY more in my comfort zone to stay home. OK here's a 4th. I don't want to do it till Monday as I already have plans for this weekend but to reply to the Hey! Vina galpal match I met for coffee and drinks last Sunday and agree about meeting again and suggest NEXT weekend. Or maybe even an evening. And keep up with the Hey! Vina swiping (it's for female friends) and updated with my messages there. I'd like to meet some more people that way.

Also I will start doing two new subliminal programs.

My brain seems to like fight any positive changes but no, I am in control this time!

 

Can I say I really love this comfort zone challenge. It's sort of things i've been working on anyway, but this is definitely giving me that extra push, boost that I need. I went out to a meetup group again tonight but honestly to GO to it felt like it was out of my comfort zone. Because I was warm at home, cold outside. Felt a bit tired and argh I'd have to talk to strangers. Talked myself into it like OK you're hungry, you can eat there, the other events they had like that was fun. Well, I did have a good night out. Just a board games event. For some reason over the past about 2 years, they have become kinda a popular thing in my adopted city. People were very friendly too. One group started to adopt me but then a girl arrived late and the organizer said to us to make a new group. Later two guys joined us. We enjoyed the games. The first one we had to guess our partners word but we weren't able to use certain words and for the other it was sort of like a trivia game. Anyway it was fun, we had some laughs & two of the people chatted about photos they'd taken and places they've travelled. And the food WAS nice. But initially, I didn't even want to GO out and socialize. NO WAY. Glad I did though.

 

[My comfort zone]

1. Study more than 4 hours a day for a week.
2. Start the diet
3. Least three days without coffee

I want to do all this but somehow I didn't start yet.

 

This may be more than a "comfort zone" thing. Many are addicted to caffeine in the same they are addicted to nicotine.

 

For me, part of the comfort zone is giving up some things that are like security blankets but they are actually holding me back.

(1) the chatroom I relapsed in yesterday that for several years I've mostly gone in to ask for advice on guys & dating
But it's also a trigger.

(2) possibly delete Tinder & plenty of fish. Getting fed up with the hookup requests in Tinder & being ignored on pof & need to focus more on meeting men in real life.

Uninstall by Jan unless something drastically improved

(3) maybe ditch the occasional lover man I have known since 2013 but it's clear it will never be a relationship & that's frustrating plus he's a security blanket too! When. I'm ready

 

1: Getting out of bed.
2: Getting into bed.
3: Getting out of bed again.

 

Hilarious. That's exactly what I need do.

 

You'll be amazed to find you can actually do it. I'm not saying it's easy, or anything, but even so...

 

Not now but in about 6 weeks - am spending time with a friend& doing ice skating when I can plus work most of that time.

I wanna gradually go to some singles meetups

I wanna let go of someone who it's not a good connection but I have known them most of the almost 4 years since my post-divorce break-up.

Staying away from the chatroom I relapsed in

I have a bit of social anxiety so - continuing with hey! Vina & asking out more (platonic, female potential friends) for coffee/drinks/food
