    There are guided videos of him going through the breathing technique! I just put in a pair of headphones and it's quite easy!

    I've watched a lot of videos (also the ones on his website), but trouble is that when I breathe so deeply, my throat just dehydrates and I start to cough or have to swallow. Must be the dry air since I'm heating the place with a (fire) stove. 

    ?

    While typing "going out is also not an option since I get lightheaded and it's -20 degrees celsius and I can't lie down" I realised theres a little bench outside that I could sit on. I'm going to try that tomorrow haha.

    Hi jsup, Thanks for your help. I have watched all the videos you mentioned above. They're really helpful. What you said was truly correct and I really believe in it. Consistency is more important than anything else. But there is another concept in here which is, if I'm not putting all of my effort and if I'm not studying as much as I can then what am I doing? The answer as we all know is that I'm wasting my time. So why shoukd I do that? I used to read philosophy a lot so in here I can relate to sth similar In philosophy: Plato(Or was it Socrates? I can never tell the difference ?) talked a lot about ideals. He mentioned that being idealistic can't always be bad because one has the right picture in his mind of who he truly wants to become. How he wants his life to be. And if you're not achieving your goals don't think that you're being too idealistic. What if you're being too realistic? What if you need to set a higher goal for yourself? Again it's all about how we think. 

    You're right, it's all in how we think. Glad that you found it useful. Go get into that med school, champ!

    Hey, Killua145.

    Glad to hear you're quiting gaming and sharing your progress. I wish you the best of luck. Know that we're here for you whenever you run into trouble.

    I don't want to be negative, but 10 hours seems an awful long time to grind out studying, even with breaks, assuming you're coming from minimal/no studying.

    Do you think this is something that you can realistically keep doing for extended periods of times (weeks, months)? If not, I'd suggest starting with setting the bar a little bit lower (and then maybe progressively increasing your study time over time?). It's my experience that setting goals that are too ambitious/unreal is pretty much setting yourself up for failure.

    Again, I'm really just trying to help, no offense meant whatsoever. Maybe you're a guy that can actually manage to study this much, then it's all right.

     

    Lastly I'd like to recommend Marty Lobdell's study less, study smart video, which focuses on attention span and teaches you how to take the get the most out of your study session by incorporating smart short breaks. Should you not have time to watch this lengthy video, Thomas frank has made a summary video on it.

    Hopefully that's a little useful to you. Good luck with your studies man! You can become whoever you want to become!

    Hey Lee,

    Welcome! I'm no expert, but there's plenty of things in life where you can be competitive in. If that is something you're passionate about, might be something to eventually find a substitute for in real life, like sports.

    Anyway, welcome to the forum!

    Goodluck, tgoodner! Just keep working at it and I'm sure you'll get there! 

    By the way I liked that you did Wim Hof's breathing technique! I've been planning to incorporate this into my routine (and his cold showers, too) myself, but have only done it a few times. It really seems to work amazing and I've done cold showers for half a year before and remember enjoying the amount of energy it gave me and how it work me up, a lot.

    What's the difference between...

    I think that Ketias has a good point. I'm pretty sure there are 12 minute recaps that show just the highlight, that way you don't miss entirely what went down but don't spend so much time on it. Perhaps on a special occasion (e.g. when your favorite team plays vs their biggest rivals or is in a finale) you can watch a full game. 

    That would seem like a possible solution to me, as long as you could manage that.

    Hey guys,

    My name is Jordi and I've been gaming for as long as I can remember. I'm 24 years old. When I was 7 or 8 I was already crying at my mom's lap, because I had lost a virtual item. I've neglected my entire education due to gaming so much and it's killing me. I dream of living a simple, self-sufficient life, and I have the opportunity to have it. The time I have actually been living that way has revealed my own potential to me. I am terribly depressed because I can't stay away from games and live my life the way I want to live. I purchased respawn after last night as I got so depressed that I went ahead and got myself shitfaced (all while gaming of course, cause ... gains). I'm ready to quit. Currently at the chapter where I'm encouraged to delete all my accounts to make it as hard as possible to get back into it. And I'm struggling already. I'm in tears, at the thought of eradicating all my hundered's of hours of progress. Afraid that I'm going to regret this impulsive act. I know I need to do it. It's just so hard and permanent... I need help ?

    Hope to find some like-minded people here as I have no friends besides my gaming community. Which is gone now ?

     

    Edit: Just destroyed my account irreversibly. Time to start living.
