The Lord of the Rings Challenge

I see! For a second there I thought you were literally going into battle. And that's not to undermine the battle of the mind by any means. I now understand how the battle of the mind is in many ways more consequential.

Thank you for clarifying. I need to adopt more of that warrior spirit.

 

Daily checking in
I suspend Youtube and Instagram for at least three days.

 

Okay. So, I messed up last night. I figured I would have a rough time as I've been noticing the third and fourth days have been particularly rough. The morning started out well though and I was mildly hopeful.

However, before noon I noticed I started wasting time on youtube even when I had work to do. That youtube watching quickly became fishing. I have great blockers on my phone and laptop though, so there was nothing (even on youtube) that could really get me. I bought the lie that there was nothing on there anyway so I could peruse my way around, however, there was still the desire to see something and I didn't turn it off. I wasted time and I ended up being late to submit an important file for work, and I was then late to my DMV appointment. It was rough.

I did make it to Starbucks and got some work done, which I was really happy and proud about. Trying to salvage, I didn't let myself get caught and fall like last time. It's just when I got home I had a couple of hours till bed and I started fishing on youtube again. Then within the span of an hour and a half, I was using my father's Ipad and that was it.

Lesson: I'm going to put strict limits on youtube. I'm going to add to my mantra "it's okay to be bored." And I'll be extra careful to not be alone on the third and fourth days.

 

I really want to make it seven days. May it be these next seven.

 

Yesterday happened to me too with Youtube.
It is unprectible , i compared with the creature Stitch the aplication.

 

Day 61, trod on!

 

Day 5 completed

 

Fell again. I stayed behind to get some work done as the family went for an adventure. Must have made the decision to PMO hours ago because I didn't even hesitate. The climb out of Orcdom is so very hard my friends, if you have made it to Hobbiton, please don't ever look back!

 

Hang tight brother!

 

Checking in Fellowship friends!

Day 262 free of porn, day 190 free of MO. This week is going well, I got some good workouts in. Work is going well and my meditation sessions are really cultivating more and more awareness.

Let's keep going!

190 days – You reach the banks of the Morgulduin, the polluted river that crosses Minas Morgul. A cold steam issue from the river, it has a “cold and cruel voice” whose stench and vapours sickens you.

 

Checking in on day 20. With rain and fog I enter the old village of Bree!

 

Day 4.

I'm still primitive orc.

 

Day 165

 

375 days
