I did really good this week. Went to the gym 4 times, yoga twice, and a 11mi hike in the desert. I dont think this is sustainable, but i'll keep trying. That said, my diet has been a disaster and I'm going to be a hippo by summer if I dont get it under control.

This year I am working on my posture with yoga and gonna learn to ride a motorcycle. Next year my resolution is to defy the brain-cloud's control over me long enough to lead the rebel prisoners out of MegaMaze. Don't worry, you'll understand in October.

Keep it up, and it's likely your diet will be more easy to control.

I got a draft of my diss. sent to my director, which is good. Still strugglin' to finish this short story i'm workin on. At this point I just need it to be over so that it isn't colonizing my brainspace. |

ShinyBirdTeeth posted:Way to go, ethicsbot! What sort of story is it? your posts are so great that I'm sure it'll turn out well I've started getting up earlier before work to exercise/meditate and have only missed one day this year. It has drastically improved how I feel each day. I'm also committed to putting together the game idea I thought a lot about last year but never actually put any real effort into creating.

This is embarrassing to admit, but I bet y'all can help. Whenever I go after self improvement, when I first see benefits I come across this wall of shame, where I'm facing how I did things wrong for so long and it's embarrassing. Does that happen for anyone else? My posture resolution has been going well, and it's stupid how much better I feel. It's shame-wall stupid how much better my body feels, and how much better it looks. Maybe it's because my slouching is part of larger mental health issues, maybe it's because I took on this resolution at the kindly-stinging advice of an attractive co-worker, I don't know but I feel bad about feeling better and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. |

Does that happen for anyone else? I think that's pretty common, yeah. It is the inspiration behind the quip that "youth is wasted on the young;" everyone learns stuff and looks back with a mixture of amusement and embarrassment at the things they could have done so much better. But you just gotta point your eyes back toward the future. You should feel excited for what you can do now and even more so for what you'll soon be able to do. |

Oh man, this is why parents ride their kids especially hard on stuff they themselves did wrong, isn't it? All this insight is making me dizzy...

Does that happen for anyone else? one thing about posture is, its something we're always doing all the time! so just think of how much time you have to improve

After what felt like one billion years, I have finished a decent version of this story. I really got stuck on this one and had to rewrite the back half several times, sometimes completely altering the plot...it was a mess. But I'm happy with the way things turned out. I think it works alright and is certainly better than my last rendition. Now I have to write the Bashful Peacock for the Byobook. |

I rode the heck out of my mountain bike today, got it all put back together and fixed the cables and shifter. It's windy and the roads still have ice but I can't be intimidated by that stuff anymore. New year new me. |

I feel like I'm getting more confident in my writing process. I was able to get a story planned and executed over the course of two days (while at work). It's a setting idea I've been kicking around for a while, but found very hard to grasp and this time I was really methodical about planning and doing. I think my next step is to just take some of the stories I've started and turn them into on going plot lines, which will help me get things into a groove. I know this sounds bad, but I want more of the process to feel rote, by which I mean instead of sweating over the mechanics of what I'm doing, I want the process to feel so familiar that I can focus on the quality of execution. As it stands I'm spending all my brain juices on getting myself doing the work instead of saving that juice for the actual performance itself. Sort of like thinking about how to hit a baseball instead of focusing on playing the game. |

It's easy to lose the perspective of the reader if you're playing with big abstract analytical pieces instead of the flow of the narrative, and the joy of the reader is the meat of the thing. If you ever want some illustrations hit me up, collaborations are the best portfolio-builders.

Munchables posted:Welp, that was fast. Maybe next week. The method that worked for me (note: this is NOT doctor approved) is that I drank and smoked all afternoon, evening, night, and into the early hours. When I woke up, I felt like complete poo poo, and I never wanted to smoke again. I was revoltingly stinky, my sinuses were clogged with unspeakable stuff, and I was miserable. I didn't get out of bed until 1 pm or so. For the next month, I carefully avoided booze, coffee at work, or any of the things that naturally led to smoking. It wasn't easy, but it worked.

Then I slipped the next day, and said I would absolutely do it tomorrow because failing three days in a row would suck. Then I stopped smoking. Try again tomorrow, not next week. |

It took me several years of trying before I was finally able to quit cigs. It is not easy but totally worth it- coming up on six years free after a seven year habit and I'm still amazed how much better I feel. |

Munchables posted:poo poo man, congrats! Thanks. I don't regret my smoking years too much because honestly the act of having to quit something hard to quit was really informative for me. It set the bar for future issues with compulsive behavior, everything from social media to carbon damage. I owe a lot of what willpower I do have today to getting unhooked from gas-station candy tobacco.
