Day 0

When I started this, I had no idea that breaking habits is so fucking hard lol. let me list why a detox will help me.

1. More time. To do productive stuff like exercise and learning german.
2. Calmer. I want to be calmer in my mind and not being distracted by music games and what more.
3. More productive. More time = more production
4. Being so bored that I automatically do good habits like learning.
5. Not being frustrated after a bad game of wot, overall better mood.

I have blocked stuff, so I won't see it or get on it. So no:

• Social media
• Games
• Movies and series
• Music
• Sweets like sugars candy and soda's
• TV

What I will replace with new habits:

1. Learning German and maybe Spanish too.
2. Reading
3. Exercise
4. Walking
5. Programming
6. Homework
7. Family and friends
8. Meditation

Also hope I will be calmer in my mind. I will also put my earbuds and my mouse mat and my mouse on some place that is hard to reach. After all, how will I be able to play games and listen to music without these??

Day 1/30

So far so good.

 

0/30 - I should have been more concise in my detox challenges...

0. PMO in any form (includes edging and looking)
1. Hulu (Christian shows like "The Chosen" not included)
3. All social media (I've actually been off these since mid January!)
4. No sweets or carb snacks or eating out alone (includes diet coke and chips - my true weaknesses)
5. Video games (on my phone and laptop - I don't have a gaming console)
6. Music (if it cusses, talks about women in an objectifying view, drugs, killing, etc)

Replace with:
Bible study and memorization
Singing and praying and meditation
Home improvement/cleaning the house
Work on my ministry idea
Have meaningful conversations with people I love
Read books to help me glorify God
Exercise
Podcast/audio books

3, 2, 1 Go!!!

 

looks like you and me are pretty much on the same goals!

Day 1/30

Wow this hard... staying away from PMO is one thing but no sweets or diet coke is VERY tough! And no Seinfeld or Brooklyn 99, makes me sad - my brain wants it but replacing it with work or reading or bible study or exercise. It'll be worth it. Working towards memorizing the entire letter of Romans over the course of the year (and most likely next year).
