Dopamine Reset

6 months - 1 question:
Can artificially training my confidence on my ability to get things done actually impact my long term behaviour and personality?

@mrchuckthetech Exciting stuff coming up! Go for it!

1/ For years, I witnessed my life crumble due to a simple fact: not being able to sit on a chair and get sh*t done.
Thought it would stop starting an actual job, but it just got worse.
To a point were I mess up my sleep and pull all nighters to catch up on late work and deadlines

Day 1
- Important deadlines a work made it so that I had no time to think about doing sthg else.
- Took 10mn tonight to exercise and stretch, visualizing pain and exhaustion as if it were coming from work, and calmly breathing through them.

@mrchuckthetech Dropping some killer advice there ;)
I'm done with Dop Fast man, figured this is not the way for me

[Dopamine Reset @DopamineReset]

Completed 6 days of #DopamineFast, and relapsed on the 7th
But a 6d streak is better than nothing, I'll take it!

Let's go for some creative stuff now:

Intermittent fasting, eating only when I finish my work for the day
Starting with a week (+ Dop Fast of course)

6/ It all begins today.

5/ And so, I'm back for a new 6 months challenge.
Only rule: do something everyday to help myself regain confidence on my capacity to get work done.
Could be : visualisation meditation, positive affirmations, hypnosis, free writing to identify what actually blocks me...

Hey, limbic system... Shut the F up!
You're the one making us unhappy, calling for quick fixes and totally denying the long term goals; you know, the ones that define us as a person?
Don't you wanna try to help with your own tools, instead of always getting in the way?

@genbimi Thinking out loud sometimes helps me in that regard, don't know if it can work for you!

Day 6 was a hell of a sh*tty day
Just basically relapsed youtube the whole day.
Today's a new day though, let's get the work flowing!

[Dopamine Reset @DopamineReset]

Time to reflect on this week-end!

- Was reading the whole Saturday. I don't even remember the last time this happened!
- Had a small (but inacceptable) YouTube consumption
- Ate about healthy, but too much which impacted my energy lvls

Slowly getting back on track!!

Day 4 - had to fight a few urges being tired, pretty happy with myself.
Carrying on the food fast longer, 48h would be great, let's see if I can hold it :)

Yeah let's keep learning, good luck to you and let's do this!!

Coming back to twitter.

My last attempt was a failure, had some really important stuff going on, and the stress got me on a Sunday at home; I relapsed.
Was then too ashamed to admit it, and left twitter aside.

A month has gone by, and on the 1st of July, I wanted to pick
