Day 44 I had a little mess up but I realized it and stopped but did not relapse. I consider a relapse Is your returning to the thing your fasting. I have to make decision on something tommrow and will need to call them to see what I can do. Second we went to brave games with Family. Even though I wasn’t all the way there. Till the end. Third is I completed my movie project today at voice wise, now I need sound effects and it shall be done. That big weight off my shoulders as well my last week in my online church, sad but happy. I should hopefully have done in. The next couple of weeks.z My hope is without my online church taking up my time that I will be less prone on my phone. Finally I want complete YouTube recordings at some point and finally animated them. that it for today now reading book of Job 13 as well my regular Bible plan.

My Journal... Overcoming Instant Gratification
zeke365 replied to Wingless_ace's topic in Daily Journals
While reading this I can say I’m proud of you for attempting this but I think it a little extreme. If you can do it great, but you’re trying to beat last battle boss without leveling up so you can defeat your beast. I would focus only one platform like say Tik toc I would try logging out, then once you get use to that disable the account (if it’s possible) then finally delete account by defeating individual you grow strong but trying to take everything on at once will get you crushed. I would do this Facebook, YouTube, and others but be sure to have an alternative when doing this saying and doing are two separate things. I know for me I did that with Facebook (meta) now I don’t have an account and same with Reddit, but I replaced with reading books (physical books). This more to help you, but I applaud you for trying. -
Day 39 I got some recording done my YouTube channel so glad to have some of that done. If I follow the pace I hope to have this batch done in 2 maybe weeks if everything goes well. I think that’s it for today, still reading book of Job on chapter 8 as well as my regular bible plan. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Car 9.Family for 10.money

Day 36 Another good day, I was able to do my digital detox for the most part. I read some more on my kindle about screen writing and writing notes as I go along the way, got most of the chores I wanted done. I went out to eat today making today the only day I go out eat and may need to lay off the smoothies (not sugar smoothies more of the healthier can with stevia). Third I had rewatch a video how to hold a fork so I can eat better in public, and now learning to eat slowly and when you do that you fill up a lot faster despite half your plate being there. Did some physical therapy and now tomorrow I’m going to try to walk the dog around the neighborhood as well as my regular exercises. phase 2: recording for my YouTube channel takes play, I think this is one of most time consuming things but I don’t mind it. I like it. I think that about it for today, I’m still reading book of Job and I’m on job 4 as of right now as well as my regular Bible plan.

Day 35 Another good day got some paper work done at my local church at least for volunteering. So its a process but exciting because I have purpose there and it’s towards this type of group. I have 2 more weeks before I leave my online church, I’m sad but glad to be on this new exciting journey. Third finished the restless church by the fuel project which is the final series wanted to get through now that complete I feel I can focus a little more. while tommrow I will try to reimplement my no digital detox and no social media detox., am allowed kindle for reading but outside of that rule I try to read a physical book. So what are some goals to work towards this week besides writing here which is the only other expectation. 1.Finish a screenwriting book I have been taking notes with. 2.Reading different books about this particular group. Samples 3.Complete recordings for my YouTube series. That mostly what I want to accomplish. While some will take weeks others won’t take to long. As for physical things 1.Taking the dog for a walk twice a day 2.Do both my physical and occupational therapy as well at home.! .3.Maybe geo cacheing (have an idea for that) but one project at time. 1.Focus recordings. that it for today still reading book of job as well as my regular Bible plan.

Day 34 Not much going today either but this video series is really challenging me. It’s called the restless church and something I have been asking myself what is the gospel? What is the good news of Jesus? Is it just ticket to heaven like entrance before getting on ride or is it something more? No other video series has really challenged me in this way before not even sermons in churches. And now I’m getting new perceptive on things and what I need to do. It explains why I even went into anime and video games to become I wanted to be light in those dark places but I let that darkness consume me and God had to pull me out because I did that by myself and needed other believers to help me. This why I’m in the situation I’m in, i want to go and preach the good news yet I’m being held back. That it for today still reading book of Job as well reagular Bible plan grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.dog 9.Car 10.money

Day 31 Another good day, went to my local church and they move to a new room and had little scavenger hunt and lunch, then played D and D and just watched YouTube videos on history and Christian YouTube I like. Starting tomorrow I will allow myself to complete my animation project, in other words I can’t watch animation still, but more like I if need a tutorial to complete a task should only be used as last resort. This way I can get into creating again and it gives me great joy doing YouTube channel and the content I put out, because the act of creating and watching your stuff come to life is so much different than if I’m watching it passively. I’m not going against my fast since this something I’ve been meaning to get into, plus volunteer at my local church as well. I’m help out particular group people so that’s exciting, maybe moving slow for some of you but at least it progress. That it and this last day of book of Proverbs so starting to tomorrow is book of Job. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Family 6.Church 7.Friends 8.Family dog 9.Car 10.money

Day 29 Today washed clothes and bed and went out eat (have to be careful). I’m really into coconut milk and creamer right now, no sugar ones or unsweetened coconut milk brand I get is So delicious just like the taste and add stevia. I use both at home for coffee or tea (green tea, or herbal tea). Need to eat more in the morning rather than stuffing myself at night. Also did my other local church today so tomorrow will probably be a very productive day away from PC. That it still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible plan.

Went out to eat today as well and I just watched a couple of videos as well emailed a voice actor for another project that I need to complete. Plus tomorrow is my announcement that I will be leaving my online church and as well volenteer at my local church. still reading book of proverbs as we as as my regular Bible plan. grateful 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Family dog 9.Car 10.House

Day 26 not much to write about today All I did is my ot and have two more weeks after that, if anyone has good arm and hand exercises that be grateful appreciated. Then had some pumpkin spice tea, for realaxing. And will be picking white grapes tomorrow at the vineyard near us. (Not necessarily near but closest to us). I think that it.

Day 25 Another good day. Today my family took my aunt to bingo at a vineyard which was nice, very fun. Had to fix some issues in my car so I had to take in for service earlier today. That is pretty much my whole day. It’s not as hard as I thought it be. Second I started looking at mic for my YouTube video to see which is best to reduce background noise as well as the one I have, maybe a way to enhance the voice better or learn settings I did not know so I know how to record Better. Eventually I will be getting into making my 360 or VR videos that has been on the back burner for so long, that I’m just now catching up to all the projects that are either started or partially started. Having this done will be huge relief meaning I can focus my studies elsewhere but one step at time is what my online friend said. Plus will be volenteer in my local church which will be nice and my announcement of leaving my online church. I have peace about this decision and excited about the new journey God has for me. That it for today, still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible plan. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Car 9.House 10.money

Day 24 So far so good almost had a slip up but stopped myself. Today I went to my local church and ate out at lunch with the group then went a library to work on something. After that I came home and completed my scripts for my YouTube channel which is animation. Like I said before I only make the expectation if I’m creating something because when you’re creating something is very different than passive watching animation. With the scripts out of the way I would like to finish 2 360 video projects I started then that completed most all YouTube as well my regular channel episodes. This does not mean I’m going against my fast at all, I’m not doing passive watching animation wishing I could do that but never do, I’m avoid all animation expect the ones I create this means I still can’t watch animation videos. So I think that it for today still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible plan. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Car 9.House 10.Our dog

Day 23 So much today either, had an appointment and meeting with my online friend today which was good. Plus this Sunday is my announcement to leaving my online church by the end of the month August 25, and will be transitioning to volunteering at my local church. This very exciting. Other than that nothing new can’t even get to my projects either appointment and something else I need to do then by the afternoon I’m poof out to do anything, maybe took on more than I can chew. Yes I’m working on one project at a time but I’m in waiting period for one and need to complete another and be in another waiting period. Maybe I’m just realizing how busy I truly am and starting to see it more and more where I thought I had too much time on my hands. Well I will be taking one thing off the plate so that should help. That’s it for today, still reading Book of Proverbs as well my regular Bible plan. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Car 9.House 10.money

Day 22 So far so good. So now I got sucked into this YouTube channel like Netflix show because it’s so interesting and hard to make myself wait which I really need to do so I can appreciate it more. Not much else happened, grocery shopping, out to eat, and meeting at another local church. That about all that happened and still reading book of Proverbs as well as my my other Bible plan.

So I don’t have any new ideas as of yet. What I have noticed is in exercise there no visual representation showing progress (well yes mirror) but meaning we don’t know when we exercise that gaining any experience or losing experience. Very similar to experience points in video games where you see yourself progressing but how do we apply this to real life? For example it like we quit level 1 and been thrown into level 100 and we don’t know we’re gaining or losing those experience points. I have nerd fitness which adds a little game element to it, but I enjoyed more is it showing me progress of how I progressing as I did the exercise, that what I’m more talking about how do we best visualize that experience points in real life? Like maybe point system, high score, or something. Just like when your kid you make up games to play, well that what I’m searching for how do I add a creative element to say pushups or lunges or even walking?? This what I’m struggling with right now.
