Today went well. I think the caffiene can make me really anxious. Tomorrow I am going to remember to take theanine with it to see if that reduces anxiety.
I wish I had worked more today but I was all stuck in my brain and shit.
Still worked, exercised, read, practiced more than most anyone I know. That feels nice.
Things I did today
  • 1 hour a day of self improvement work/reading,
  • 10 minutes of meditation cumulatively, WOOHOO! I have been meditating and practicing breathing everywhere today because I have been so anxious. I want to start practicing it whenever and where ever I go
  • 5+ Pomodoro style work session a day.
  • Walked an hour/Did 2 sprints. I find these help with anxiety.
  • Eat 2200 calories`
  • Read my previous motivation writings.
  • Track screentime/media consumption
  • Had less than 30 minutes media consumption
Things I didn’t do today
  • Binge eat

Things I did today
  • Time Every meal. I didn't time them great and I didn't feel like a master of self control but I am much better. Tomorrow I would not like to eat any candy. Today I didn't finish all of my food at a restaurant which is like the 3rd time I've ever done that in my life. Really a good night.

  • 1 hour a day of self improvement work/reading. Fuck I have been busy. I might read some more tonight after studying.
I am going to be on the radio tomorrow for my club, I am very excited about that. I have done a really good job today.

Don't be an emotional mess. I realize throughout my life I've been an unprepared wreck at times, and I am done with that. It's embarrassing to think other people have seen me like that and I don't want it to continue. Today I had my shit together, and I want to make a habit of it.

Today has been a productive day and it has felt good but I am disheartened by some of the things I didn't do. I think I have gotten less serious. Albeit the night before was rough, which can make the next day a lil rough. I think tomorrow will go well. I am very excited for it.

Today has been great. A day I will remember forever. Two amazing and crazy things happened. Wow. Even besides that it has been a good day.
Things I did today
  • Time Every meal. I didn't time great but I ate consciously.
  • 10 minutes of meditation cumulatively
  • 5+ Pomodoro style work session a day.
  • Guitar
  • Gym, great leg day today, I am looking forward to killing it even harder monday.
  • Go to all classes, I did amazing. I was so active and truly thinking. Felt great and my teacher recognized me for my contributions.
  • Read my previous motivation writings.
  • Track screentime/media consumption
  • Had less than 30 minutes media consumption
Things I didn’t do today
  • Eat 2200 calories, probably didn't. But I don't think I over ate.
  • Binge eat
  • 1 hour a day of self improvement work/reading, No way I would have had the time
I am going to be the top of two of my classes, atleast. I am able to work harder, and I am smarter than these chumps. I am going to help so many people with my club. I am so strong. No one does what I do. I have it all, social life, academic excellence, physical fitness, a high paying high status job at a young age. Keep it up. Remember times like these. Remember what success feels like. Remember these moments in the low moments and just do what successful me would do: Kill yourself in the gym, study, put the phone in the other room, meditate, go on a walk, call friends, sprint for 2 minutes, realize you must actively choose to be happy, play hacky sack, don't let your lower brain take control, read your motivational writing.

Remember in low times: Normal you has complete faith in your ability's to be successful. Why listen to your stupid depressed brain when your normal self has faith in you. You will be good and you will succeed in a manner that will bring you unparalleled happiness.

Yesterday went well, I got invited to join a fraternity. I ended up going to sleep super late and woke up early, so I got like no sleep. I need to start tapering off caffeine. Today was good in spite of the fact I got 4 hours of sleep.

Today went well but I haven't felt good today. It is very nice however how hard I have worked today, in spite of feeling bad. I only consumed <1 hour of media. I went to the gym in the morning and killed my legs, I went to a work meeting, I studied and read for 5+ hours. I was a god damn beast and I felt kinda depressed. It makes me realize how powerful and capable I am, let alone todays handicap. Tomorrow will go great. I am a beast so of course it will. I will also start to taper off caffeine.

I thought a lot about mindfulness today. I love to practice mindfulness. One thing I think about is that its not your cognitive frontal cortex feeling those strong emotions, but the lower sub brain. It can warp my thoughts and lead me into anxiety spirals. Just don't let it. Feel it and stop it. There is no reason I should be sad right now, its just my dumb ass reptile brain.

I think today marks the end of my project 30. I still consume some media but its less. I don't meditate enough but its more than I used to. My eating certainly isn't fixed. My gym is routine but I had that down prior. I do work a lot. I definitely think about eating more mindfully. I probably binge eat the same amount idk. I feel like its been a failure. I think for the next one I am going to pick a signle task and just work on that, while keeping my other habits in tact. I will be back tomorrow.
