  1. Nice! Proud of you for pushing forward and publishing your post to Facebook. That took courage and in doing so, you are building your courage muscle a bit more. Congrats on three weeks without games*, that's an accomplishment to be proud of.
  2. Great job on your personal best for squats!
  3. Yes, a few technical bugs still ongoing. We have no idea why your journal is having the issues it is, but my developer is working on it. In the mean time, I'd recommend saving each of your posts (in this thread) on your computer as well. Everything should be fine moving forward but just in case.
  4. Your small wins are beginning to compound, it's killer to watch. Daring Greatly will be another win to add to your list. Tons of gold in that book.
  5. Excited to hear what you think about Daring Greatly!
  6. +1 to taking extra time in the morning for yourself.
  7. We just moved the forum to a new database, some posts are missing/have bugs/errors. Our team is working through them right now.
  8. Happy you had a good experience. I've been to many in the past and encourage others to do so as well. It helps a lot to just speak with someone you know has your back.
  9. Hey Thomas! Sounds like a good day!
  10. Yes! One of the reasons why having new habits can be so positive is that it creates a new experience for you, so for instance when you are "feeling good," it tends to be because you're maintaining the habits you have.. so as soon as you aren't feeling as sharp, you can "dissect" what's different about your life and adapt accordingly. I do this all the time. I call it a "status check." Am I hungry? What have I been eating the past few days? How's my sleep? Have I been exercising? Doing gratitude? Meditating? etc. Then you can identify what's "off" and adjust it back to where it should be. It's not always going to fix everything, but it's a start. For the meetups, think of it like this: you can be a leader. Imagine if you go and there's only a few people, but because you're there you can help them also have a good time. If you don't go, you don't have that opportunity and for someone else who shows up, you're leaving them hanging when you said you'd go. Integrity is the vehicle to getting what you want in life. If you say you're going, it's important to go. Be reliable. I really do believe the way you do something is the way you do everything. If you break these small commitments here, where else are you breaking up? And so if you show up and no one is there, you get to feel good about going, and you now have free time to do what you wish. Plan ahead, "If I go and no one is there, I'll go do this instead." You're probably rationalizing due to social anxiety. I would commit to 1 or 2 events per week that you are going to go to. You may be putting more attention into other areas right now, and that's good, but you can still get out there a bit each week. When it comes to "perfectionism"... set a new definition of success for your social events. What's "success" to you mean?
  11. 100%. So much truth in this. I think for whatever reason we always expect the answers to be there... so when they are not we just give up. When really, it's up to our own persistence and creativity to find the answers we're looking for sometimes.
  12. Happy to hear you're feeling better!
  13. Hey everyone! If you're in the Netherlands, post here. Tom and Phoenix are too.
  14. That's awesome! You guys should take a picture next time! Also, what city are you in? I will see if any others are nearby!
  15. ?One day at a time man. Little improvements each day. It all compounds over time into big results.
  16. Hey everyone! If you just spent the whole weekend inside this one is for you! Recently I was asked by Drew (not sure his reddit username) about how to get out of the house more often after you quit playing video games. Although this question seems simple (just get out of the house!), sometimes it can be more complex and you need to identify why you're staying home so much - is it social anxiety? Is it something else? In the video I share three benefits to getting out of the house (one: you'll be less tempted to game), and three steps you can take to do it. I hope it helps you out and if it does, make sure you hit
  17. Yes, join the meetup! They are great guys. We hung out in NYC when I was there.
  18. Happy to hear you're feeling better! You're right that it's not always about getting everything done but making progress and doing our best.
  19. Great job man!! This is awesome!! You approached it exactly how you need to.
