Habits & Disciplines Journey Entry #257 ~ Mon Oct 26 '26

I can feel myself wanting to just chill out. This seems like a never ending battle. I always want to just chill but I always seem to have way too much going on. Is this a trap in which I am forever going to be disappointed and never have the time that I want to just "chill out?" Have things gotten better in this area? 

Okay, so I REALLY want a strategy to get my workout routine going. Its still not there yet and the thing is that I don't know where to start. I have dance practice again tomorrow morning and after that I am going to take a long break from any additional dance practices. I am continuing to push back on anything additional as I am trying to find more time for me to read books and to contemplate life and to work out. I want a nice simple life in which I make money providing value towards others. 

I am already sick of working so much. Is this me being lazy? No, I don't think so. I crave time to relax and to read books. One issue that I continue to do to myself though is the fact that every time I do have relaxation time, I watch things on my phone instead. I wish I wouldn't do that.

3. Get a handle on my schedule and attempt to develop some discipline around that

4. Cut out all unnecessary and unhealthy behaviors (drinking, surfing the web)

Habits & Disciplines Journey Entry #258 ~ Tue Oct 27 '26

Really though, what has happened to my motivation and discipline. Its completely shot. Im not impressed with myself right now. My physique is shit and my discipline is shit. Is it really that hard to have a workout routine that you stick to or to not use porn before you go to bed? Or to actually get your ass out of bed when the alarm goes off. I am hinestly deeply dissappinted in myself. I thought i was better than that. 

But you know what, this is what this journal is about. I must persevere. I will find the motivation and the discipline to achieve all of my goals and habits.

This morning, i had my alarm set for 8 am. I did wake up at that time, but I then layed in bed for another 30 minutes. I then went up stairs to shower and brush my teeth and I even gave myself a haircut. Im starting to lose my hair and I have to do things differently now. I can't wait until the day that I can take a couple of months off from work just because. How much money should I have prior to doing that? 50k? 

I then started cooking. The chicken that I am cooking is a week past when its supposed to be used so im not sure if I should really be eating it. I probably shouldn't. 

I also watched porn last night before bed, its just so unfortunate that I can't seem to have the self discipline to stop these habits. Then again, you are going at your own pace, you will figure all this stuff out, it just takes time. 

*

Ive started using a physical trainer. With this new expense, in order for me not to be in the negatives, i will need to find a way to make an extra ~$1000 every month for at least 6 months until I can at least stop the physical training expense, which is $400 a month. My base salary is about $2000. I have an event that will get me an extra $200 in November and I am also housesittijg which will get me another $200. Now i need another $600 to make ends meet. Did I jump the gun on hiring a physical trainer? I could spend less this month as well? I will ask my parents if they need help with anything. I think my dad will need some help with his leaves. It never hurts to ask! And I will see if my mom needs anything, they probably do. 

Then, planning ahead towards December, I will be getting an extra $500 for a dance event so thats just another 500 more that I will need past that, again ask your parents. There is also a couple of outside studio parties. If I build my lessons up for that first week of December, I should be able to get a little extra cash plus helping my parents. And maybe someone will have me housesit for them. I can also sell the smart phones that I have.
