@hycniejsy Thanks. That seems pretty random though. I don't think I'm at the stage where I can just say random shit to people like that. I'm a total introvert.
Oh c'mon!
That's an excuse!
There are no intro and extraverts!
Everyone is just a mixture of both of them.
I mean, I'm introverted too in most situations in my life. I like to spend time alone, have only couple of closest friends and that's it.
But when I'm on stage, I'm extravert as hell!
That's because I learned it! I was trying to do any effort to deal with it. Break any limits to start feeling comfortable in social situations.
So, if I did, why you can't? You haven't even tried.
And it's not just a random shit.
These are just saying hi and then 3 sentences. You can memorise them to feel more comfortable.
I recommend trying it first and then reevaluate.
Trust me, I mean, I can tell shitty things on meditation, because at least I tried it once!

I am not going to breathe slowly right now you motherfucker.
Your journal is always good for making me laugh. Not sure if people tell you this or not, but you are very funny.

Today I'm grateful for:
- Endorphins! They are awesome
I agree.
However remember about this one:
I mean, that's the dopamine, I really like it, but in proper doses!
Don't overdose it!

Hey! Great way to start your journal is to sum up and recap your previous year of success!
That's the great example of how you can quit playing video games. With @Cam Adair of course.
Is it your habit to wake up so late? If so, I encourage you to work on it!
Greetings, Mad Pharmacist
Yeap, I have a TERRIBLE habit of waking up late, probably from those years of late night gaming till morning - I've tried all year to solve it and failed miserably many times. The funny thing was that quitting gaming didn't change my habit, so I'm still working on finding a way to solve it. If there are any suggestions and resources I can use, would love to hear it! Do you wake up early?
Oh well, quitting games is not everything. That's one thing.
Building up habits is another.
I wake up early (5-8 a.m. depends on what I need to do each day) and thanks to that I feel more productive)
I can guide you through the way to build up this awesome habit.
Are you ready for this?
Yeap, lemme go ahead and PM you
Allright, let's start with level one here:
- What benefits will it give to you?
- What benefits will it give to others?
- What are the negative sides of waking up early for you?
- What are the negative sides of waking up early for others?
Answer to these questions and give each argument power on scale (1-5). When you do this, I'll tell you if you're ready to go further

Hell yea! +2 to greeted strangers!
Collect 100 and you'll gain a special achievement from Mad Pharmacist!
It's called "Greeter level 1"
Greetings, Mad Pharmacist
The day before yesterday I greeted three strangers. I got responses, two verbal and one non verbal. Yesterday I only greeted two strangers. Not comfortable enough to do a full on approach yet, only when passing people.
So 5/100 done
It's good to do it when passing people, but if you'll feel it's not as uncomfortable as usual, it means you can make this exercise harder.
One of the best way to do this is to say hello to people on a bus stop. That's becuase you're waiting for a bus and you both will have to spend some time at the same place even if greeting will fail. But trust me, it won't.
Anyways, good job, and keep it up KO!

I'm just getting more and more proud of you.
I'll study for 3 hours a day, starting today, even though I have a winter holidays I need to study, to not fail first 3 colloquiums in next 3 weeks.
What do you think about studying challenge?
I'm not sure If I understand what you mean. Studying challenge = study 3 hours a day? Or..?
I mean to study enough to achieve your or mine goals in it
If you need 2 golden hours, that's fine. If you need 30 minutes, that's also fine.
It's not about time. It's about building habit of productive studying

I think meditation is a great tool for me because it clears my mind and I get more calm.
The benefits you get from meditation improve over time.
I disagree.
Day 5 (03-02-2017)
I woke late today and I've been tired all day but I've managed to not watch any TV or streaming (it's a huge improvement for me - I think I also might have a TV / streaming addiction).
That's a success! Be grateful for that and your happiness will be boosted up!

Oh c'mon! Reproduction of earthworms can be fascinating!
And if not, it's at least hilarious! Especially when you'll learn on how the earthworms is tagmatised

Well, ADHD is not the end of the world!
To be honest, you should be more engaged into sports to deal with it. Try to find any sport that engages physical activity like swimming, running or surfing, just like @Cam Adair
This will help you much more than dangerous meditation. Trust me, I tried meditation once I felt like I'll die.
Anyways, give me at least one physical activity you're gonna do to deal with ADHD.

That's pretty awesome you feel good overall!
Sometimes I see that the more time you spend without your Internet mindlessly browsed, the happier you're.
That's probably what science confirms, at least should

Hey!
Remember about substitution of Watching YT.
How about, instead of doing this you'll SUPPORT some people here who deserves it?
You helped me once when I had a regression and it was only because you wrote a simple post
Trust me, you can make a difference!

Hmm, I don't think hiding is good. This way I got relapsed couple of times before.
It might be a bit like a crutch. But stand still for 3x30 days and then reavaluate. That's my advice, but the choice is yours
Greetings, Mad Pharmacist

Hell yea! Studying rocks!
Btw. is it really a nap which lasts 3 HOURS? I mean, during this time you'll have at least 2 phases of deep sleep, so it's like a normal sleeping. I mean, a bit too short, but still

Mad Pharmacist's versatile conversation opening. Sounds interesting. Have you tried this yourself @hycniejsy? What were your results?
Tried it 3 times a day for almost A YEAR. So it's like 1000 times, sometimes I'm doing it if I want to strike up conversation with strangers during events!

That's what I call: information diet.
That's why I don't read news or watch TV. And I feel relieved this way.
Also, I know A LOT about what's happening in the world, because others are talking about it most of the time. So I spare some time

Hell yea! That's a spirit!
I really like your attitude. This way you'll smash this addiction once and for all.

Wow, seems you have a plan! That's how it goes to win the detox!
Maybe you wanna try 1000 days without video games?

Hey, I really appreciate your entry.
You made it to keep balance in your life. But keep consistency, to be as regular Robert as possible
