Hello! Today was a day of processing many kinds of feelings. The theme day was great fun. In the evening I played some chess and lost in the semi-finals of the tournament. It was great fun to play in the tournament. The best moment of today was jumping on bouncy castle.

Hello! Today was a cool day. School was basic. I had nice time at the gym and modified my gym routine a bit so I won't exhaust myself completely.

Hello! Today was a good day! School was rather short and fun. After school I went to the gym and broke my squat record. Now squatting with my body weight. I need to work on my bent over row technique. After gym I went shopping for a new shirt and found a nice one. The best moment of today was reading a book and drinking tea. Today I'm grateful for: Black teaMuse – ResistanceGetting back to my job tomorrowDoing the heavy squatsProtu camps

Hello! Today was a nice day! I hung out with my friends and checked out a new construction in our city. In the evening I ate with my family wrote and read. The best moment of today was having a conversation about happiness. I think it started with my friend telling me a story about a documentary in which a man tries to become as happy as possible by attending seminars and such and in the end ends up depressed. In the end my friend said "The one who can forget about happiness is the happiest." It's a rather counterintuitive approach, but also has it's point. That is a good question! I'm planning on strengthening my habit of going to the gym 3 times a week, focusing on studying maths and physics consistently, reading and also spending time with friends and assets. I respect your interest! Yup! Chess is very much about repetition and practice, not just raw intelligence.

Hello! Today was about recovering from yesterday's partying. In the evening we made a performance in a party and it went very well! The best moment of today was chatting with my pal. Today I thought about more concrete ways to develop my life towards to where I want it to be. I feel like for now I've investigated my values and aspirations pretty well and it's time to take action towards the. Habits are a good way of doing this. My goals are about health, traveling, relationships and sophistication. I'm going to InterRail next summer so I'm definitely up for a meet! I've heard you've practiced quite a lot so I probably still need to train so I can give you an appropriate opposition.

Hello! Today was a nice day! I studied history and played good games of chess with my friends. Moved into quarterfinals in our chess tournament. The best moment of today was hanging out with friends and taking a walk. Matriculation exams coming up tomorrow. After them there will be time to relax a little.

Hello! I've studied history today and also trained at the gym. The matriculation exams are on Friday so I'm going to spend tomorrow studying as well. The best moment of today was hanging out with friends. This journal has become such a habit that it's hard for me to break. I'm not sure whether writing here everyday is necessary, but the ball has rolled for so long that it's like my second nature. Today I'm grateful for: AC/DC MoneytalksChill and supportive teachersFamiliarizing a bit with new girls todaySour milkMom

I'll see if I have a decent enough time to make a detailed post. For time being my focus is on history, but I'll look into your suggestion when I have finished my exams.

Hello! I might follow @WorkInProgress and take a little break from my usual posting schedule. The reason for this is that I feel that my progress as an individual requires time and long-term effort and I feel like journaling everyday may not be the most suitable way to approach it. The best moment of today was reading history with my pals. Nice to have you drop by! It sure is a long long process, but surely worth the effort. I'm going to go check your journal if you have posted your AC/DC cover yet. Looking forward to it. Today I'm grateful for: History rehearsing bookUnderstanding teachersStudying subject that interests meDeadlifting it all today. Gym was coolMashed potatoes

Hello! Today was a rather study oriented day. I woke up and studied Finnish history. Then I proceeded to write essays about history with my friend and at the end of the day I met my friends and we studied and talked about history together. I've got my history finals on Friday so there is a lot of studying waiting to be done still. Scheduling it helps. The best moment of today was drinking tea with my friend. Non-study-related I managed to create the first version of my Personal Mission Statement. It's something that reflects my basic values and goals as an individual. Stephen Covey talks about it in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I can highly recommend that book. It's a good step and as time will go on it will shape up to better reflect my personal mission. I've been thinking about over-thinking which I sometimes indulge in. I listed some common ways I feel when I'm overly tangled in my thoughts. Today I'm grateful for: Friends to study history withMocca bites made by my cousinMacaroni casseroleNice police officersThe stability of values

Hello! Today was a day with ups and downs. The morning started out well with morning routine and going to the gym. I went to play Settlers of Catan with my friends and it was awesome. The best moment of today was hanging out with my friends. I'm feeling a bit frustrated at the moment. I'm pretty sure I can overcome it by setting reasonable and clear goals and achieving them. These goals can be like study, go to gym etc.. Sticking with your decisions helps you see the results and that way feel more in control of your life. I'm also pretty tired after all the studying. There is still the next week to go. Today I'm grateful for: My friend inviting me to her housewarming partyOrganizing a meetGood apple pie with oat-vanilla toppingFresh sheetsExperiences and being able to deal with old problems more efficiently

Hello! Today was an exciting day! The matriculation exams went alright. The results will probably be of my average level. After exams I took a good walk with my friend and relaxed at home. The best moment of today was chatting with my friend while we walked. I'm feeling a bit anxious due to studying so much. I feel like my head will explode unless I do something instead of just reading. Tomorrow I'm going to take it easier studying wise. My goals for the weekend are creating a plan for the next week, finishing the 3rd chapter of the 7 Habits, studying and resting. Today I'm grateful for: New gym routine feels excitingNo more Swedish. It was fun to study it, but now I feel like I can't take any more for a whilePizzaA clean houseFriends whom you can study with

Hello! Just finished my last exercise of Swedish. Tomorrow is the big day – the matriculation exams. Today has been school, chess, help a friend and studying Swedish. The best moment of today was chatting with a couple friends of mine. My life = studying at the moment. Today I'm grateful for: ABBA, Gyllene Tider, Bo Kaspers and Lisa Ekdahl for carrying me with Swedish musicSvt nyheterQuizlet helping me bomb my brain with new wordsStarting rather early with increasing my vocabularyFree Hufvudstadsbladet from my school – It's a Finnish newspaper in Swedish

Hello! Today was a cool day. It was pretty straight forward, school, gym, studying, sauna and more studying. The best moment of today was bathing in sauna and swimming in lake Näsijärvi. Sauna and swimming is a very relaxing experience. I'm focusing on my Swedish at the moment. Matriculation exams are priority at the moment. Today I'm grateful for: Like spirited friendsNearby public saunaBeing healthyChange in school sceneHaving free time from school to study more

Hello! Today has been a cool day. Many funny and important moments. The best moment of today was talking with my teachers. I've formed quite strong relationships with my teachers somewhat automatically which is cool. They are really great people! For now I'll focus on studying swedish since I'll have my matriculation exams on Friday. Trying to study the best I can. Today I'm grateful for: Stratovarius and power metalMy helpful teacherPassing my exams fairly wellThe humorous atmosphere today in schoolThe brotherly relationship that formed between me and a fairly young teacher. He gave me very good tips and feedback.

Hello! Today was a nice day! I went to school a bit earlier to study and hang out with friends. After school I studied in library and finally paid my late-fees for the book I've forgotten to return in time. I've used the evening studying, reflecting and creating plans. The best moment of today was a conversation and a walk in the evening. I talked about NF with a friend of mine and it made a big difference about my perspective on the subject. It's very helpful for me to be able to share these kinds of thoughts with someone because they can sometimes progress too neurotic for my perspective to perceive. I was feeling down and bad. Going out for a walk and just hanging out with the emotion helped me understand and accept it. Today I'm grateful for: Talking about things with friendsAC/DC, I'm already waiting for @Reno F's take on them Sweet apples from our gardenSpotify ads, no need to pay for aggression management when you can train free with themNew phase beginning this week – New subjects, new friends Drinking moderately with friendsStriped shirts *Edit* 500 posts, Yay!

Hello! There seems to be many journals popping up nowadays. :P Today I've been studying, reading and training in the gym. Overall this has been an ok day, but I feel a little annoyed for some reason. The best moment of today was talking with my bookworm grandmother. I admire her since he has read so amazingly much. Hoping to be that kind of a cool grandparent as well. I've been pondering my values and paradigms today. It's not a short process, I've got to say that. I'm continuing with developing my values and living by them. Another thing I've been pondering today is NoFap. It's really hard for me to come up with a clear opinion about the optimal length of a streak. I know that it's not such a big thing either, but this topic is surrounded by a lot of neuroticism on my part. A thing I've noticed that I sometimes end up thinking my actions as a result of NF instead of my own decision which is very harmful. I know that the optimal cycle will be over 11 days but probably less than 60. Uff this is annoying because there are no clear answers. Another feeling I get is that this is actually not such an important question after all. Phew, If you guys have any ideas or opinions I'd love to hear them! We flirted a bit on a music class and I decided to ask her out to a café. We are going a bit later this month, because of the matriculation exams and the necessary changes it makes to schedules. Today I'm grateful for: The Rolling StonesSpaghetti squashesYet another beautiful autumn dayForming a new gym scheduleAccepting feelings

Are you going to play us some AC/DC?

Yo, Addict10n! I'm a fellow chess player and I think @sirjk's idea about playing vs. someone IRL could be fun. I don't play online because it feels too addictive to me but I enjoy playing with a couple of friends from school. It has been a good activity to replace gaming with and I have also made some good friends there. Also great reflective observations!

Hello! Today was a day of rest I required. I used my day by reading, going for a jog, cooking and meeting my friends. It kind of makes me anxious to think about how hard it was to spend days this way right after quitting games. Very thankful for being able to enjoy other things than just gaming. The best moment of today was eating wings with friends of mine. I feel like the stress of the week has begun to unwind today. I've been tired and slept a lot. I think it's good to let it out this way instead of burning out completely. I'm continuing on Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I'm now at the end of chapter two in which he mentions visualization. My relationship to visualization has been cautious after last winters visualizations which I feel like caused more bad than good. Well that hopefully pointed out what not to do. I feel like the role of visualization will be amplifying my inner feelings and paradigms rather than stuffing something from outside to inside. I planned to go out with a girl I'm interested in, which makes me a little nervous but also excited at the same time. Today I'm grateful for: The Eagles – Take it easy Well flavoured wing sauceOld and trustworthy Nissan SunnyOrganizing a meet with a good friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a long timeGreen day and tea
