I'm new. Zombies? Rituals? Ceremonies?

Hey! Welcome to the forum. Happy to have you join us! I love NYC. I was just there! I think the letter idea sounds great. I definitely encourage you to do it if it feels right to you. I know Joe (wookieshark) has some experience sharing his addiction with his partner after she didn't really know about it so maybe he will be able to share some insight for you on taking that step too. -
If you keep reading these kind of books, your life will continue to change forever. Never underestimate the power of reading one book that has the power to change your life each month. Loving your progress. Proud of you man.

Hey Zala! On this forum you'll fit right in being 30. There are more of the 30+ crowd struggling with this gaming issue than you probably think. (Did you know the average gamer is 35 years old?) Part of why you experience the fatigue when you aren't gaming is because of the depletion of dopamine you're experiencing from overgaming. You can watch some of the science about that here. The 90 day detox will be great for you to commit to, which will give you enough time for your brain to recover and then you will notice a + in your energy levels I bet! Also when it comes to feelings of guilt/shame/disappointment, I always recommend reading the work by Bren

Great to have you join us here!

This will be a great read for you: Everything you wanted to know about procrastination but were too lazy to figure out

Yes! Participating is really important. The way you do something is the way you do everything. If you lurk online you lurk in your life too.

Glad you had a good time at camp!

Hey man! We've got your back. Regardless of how easy or how hard it is, we are here.

Can't wait to celebrate when you hit that goal with your weight!

Congrats on two weeks!

?Remember that the point of meditation is to be peaceful in this chaos. It's not about being able to able to do meditation well or not, it's about regardless of how it goes, easy, hard, whatever, that you are there in it and continue anyways. That's why meditation is one of the best ways to improve your life - it teaches you how to be in that same state outside of meditation, when in all honesty, life is chaotic and out of your control in many ways, so all you can control is how you show up, and a great place to start is to be at peace with whatever is happening in the moment, even chaos.

?Check out if Davids Tea ships to your area. So good.

Hey Tom! Thanks for joining us here! I love the Netherlands and hope to visit again sometime soon again! It sounds like you and Joe (wookieshark) have much in common, being a father. I'd love to see a picture of your 90 day calendar. Think that would make a good inspiring post for people to see! Let me know if you have any questions. We've got your back. Looking forward to reading more of your journey.

?Proud of you!!

Happy you enjoyed the video! The onion metaphor is certainly accurate. Maybe I'll do another video on that soon. As you learn more your purpose evolves, etc etc.

Yes! This is exactly what you do in your "free time." The mindset shift is going from something where you want to be "entertained" to where you want to be engaged. For example, at night I spend a lot of it doing one of the following: 1. Working on my business 2. Hanging out with friends 3. Reading/studying for myself or my business 4. Learning through documentaries and then for about 30 mins/night to wind down, I watch sports highlights, read about politics, check FB, etc. But for you it's about recognizing that you have these other goals you have, and then investing your spare time into them. You can spend them reading and studying about how to have a successful business as you described (check out Amazon Fulfillment businesses), taking action (1 hour/night over time is a lot of time!), etc. If you haven't seen this video yet it will help: Also this one too:

Haha I hate when that happens!!

I always love reading your updates. Having been investing in things like mindfulness, Tim Ferriss podcasts and quality books for many years now, it's exciting for me to know on my end how much your life is going to continue to evolve and change over time as you continue to put "the work" in. Doing the right small actions over time = big results. You just need to have faith in that. For example, yesterday I'm driving from Baker City, OR to Seattle and I'm listening to the podcast as well. I know it will help me in some way.
