Overall Habit Streak: 0

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 1
Fasting until 12 - Streak 4

Doing something different - Streak 6
No phone in bed - Streak 0
Meditating 1h at a time - Streak 2
Switching meditation techniques no more than one time - Streak 14

Concentration - Streak 2
Getting up directly - Streak 0
Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 16
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 24
Waking up my body outside - Streak 39
Gratitude - Streak 89

The difference: I was "shopping" in a different city. I got an "outfit" for the prom. I was in weird shops that smelled very bad with my friend. I became inspired by so many books that I want to read in a bookshop. I was picking strawberries with my friend. I ate so much strawberries on the field.

One habit at a time! I will remove some habits with which I am struggling at the moment. I want to concentrate on only ONE HABIT for now, and that is the eating stuff. These are two habits but they fit together well. In the last mornings I often wanted to eat in the morning, but I was able to see that its unreasonable.
I will remove "no phone in bed" and "getting up directly." I guess the rest is doable without that much effort.

Overall Habit Streak: 1

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 2
Fasting until 12 - Streak 5

Doing something different - Streak 7
Meditating 1h at a time - Streak 3
Switching meditation techniques no more than one time - Streak 15

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 17
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 25
Waking up my body outside - Streak 40
Gratitude - Streak 90 (!!!)

The difference: I went with school friends to a trampoline park. I had to drive there over the highway with some of the friends and I had to use a new navigation app. Jumping there around was a lot of fun but also exhausting. I almost learned doing a front somersault. I also jumped from high things into foam things which I was kind of scared of. After the time there I had to bring a friend back home.

Overall Habit Streak: 0

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 0
Fasting until 12 - Streak 5 (pause)

Doing something different - Streak 8

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 18
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 26
Waking up my body outside - Streak 41

The difference: I was hiking with the family. We saw two tourist attractions (?). A lot of judgments and negative emotions came up. I watched two hours of a three hour movie about the NS time - Schindlers's List.

There are some days where it just makes no sense to do intermittent fasting. I could have done it but my mood would have become very very bad throughout the course of the day. So I ate breakfast and I think that is fine on such days.

Overall Habit Streak: 2

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 2
Fasting until 12 - Streak 8

Doing something different - Streak 11

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 21
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 29
Waking up my body outside - Streak 44

The difference: I learned about JSON. And I contemplated emotional problems.

The key to mastering habits is: CHANGING ONLY ONE HABIT AT A TIME!!!!! I see this here just perfectly. At the beginning of this journal / of this year I sticked with this rule well. Then I started adding more and more. And after I have removed the habits from the list I started slacking off with them. I should keep them here on the list until I have reached at least a streak of 90. Really!

I WILL ONLY ADD A NEW HABIT WHEN I HAVE REACHED A STREAK OF 21 WITH MY EATING CONTEMPLATION HABIT!!!

Overall Habit Streak: 0

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 0
Intermittent Fasting - Streak 10

Doing something different - Streak 13

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 23
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 31
Waking up my body outside - Streak 46

The difference: running as the first thing in the morning, chicken stuff, going to school to collect some stuff

I didn't fast until 12. The number 12 is just a good number. But its not always practical. So I have changed it to intermittent fasting. Because I was running early in the morning and doing other physical activities in the morning I was not able to concentrate when I wanted to program. So I ate a little bit of fruit at 10am. And this is totally fine.

I didn't overeat so much, but still I broke the streak. I have to be radically honest!! I snacked a bit in the afternoon and I didn't contemplate.

Overall Habit Streak: 1

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 1
Intermittent Fasting - Streak 12

Doing something different - Streak 15

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 25
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 33
Waking up my body outside - Streak 48

Programming Time: 5 hours

The difference: I was biking and I had problems with my brake. Somehow it was constantly pulled and I couldn't drive properly anymore. The front wheel had so much resistance that it was almost impossible to drive and to wheel. I stopped and couldn't figure out how to fix the break. I almost thought that I would have to walk back home carrying the bike all the way. That would have taken me about 1.5 hours while the sun was burning on its highest point and it was 35 degrees outside. Happily an old man stopped to help me. He couldn't figure out how to solve the problem neither, but he did something so that the resistance got a little bit weaker. I biked home, which was harder than usual, but it was okay.

Overall Habit Streak: 0

Contemplating and embracing the desire to eat (when I want to snack) - Streak 0
Intermittent Fasting - Streak 13

Doing something different - Streak 16

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 26
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 34
Waking up my body outside - Streak 49

Programming Time: 4 hours

The difference: I got attacked by a big bird on my run. I picked up my sister. I bake bread.

To make this point clear to myself again: I will not allow myself to start another habit before I haven't reached the streak of 21 with my contemplating the desire to eat habit. I am currently just to lazy. When a such a situation occurs I think to myself "yeah, I will do this later." But no, I will do this now! Right in this moment when I desire to eat more than is reasonable. Common situations in which this happens: at the end of my lunch I just want to keep listening to the audiobook or to a video, so that I just get myself some more nuts. Or when I go into the kitchen to bring something away I open the boxes with the snacks that I want to avoid. Or in the afternoon when there lies some fruit around. Or after dinner when i don't feel totally full yet I often just want to eat much much more.

Intermittent Fasting - Streak 14

Doing something different - Streak 17

Apple cider vinegar in the morning - Streak 27
Programming my Subconscious Mind (10min) - Streak 35
Waking up my body outside - Streak 50

The difference: I did gardening stuff. I started listening to a new audiobook. I played with my sister. I got angry quite often today.

I didn't eat nuts at lunch, nor some other snacks. This had somehow a good effect on the rest of my eating habit. I didn't eat anything in the afternoon. And when it got time for dinner I was actually a bit hungry. I wasn't hungry for dinner in a long time. But after dinner I ate some snacks more.

I do 5 minutes of affirmation - saying my life purpose statement over and over again in my head - "I understand systems and develop solution processes to create technology that advances consciousness." And then I do 5 minutes of visualization, but nothing special. I think a bit about the future, some goals, and what I could do with my life purpose. But this part often ends up in monkey mind.
