Breaking out of brain jail for 90 days (actually)

[IlikeCookies]

Hi everybody 🙂 

I have tried to do this for quite a few times but I’ve always failed on the first day 😨 

However, I am convinced that I can do it this time 😄 

Starting tomorrow, I will stop watching videos, gaming and also no staring into space if the first two are done. They waste huge amounts of my time (screen time check: around 10 hours!) and they don’t even do anything. I will replace them with my hobbies (chess, sports, music, cooking, running, meditating, etc.) and work. 
Next time I am in a craving I might do one of the hobbies! I think that this will probably solve my life forever. 

 

I will think of day 1 as being the best day of my life!

Day 0: Bit depressed, because of games. But approaching day 1!

God speed, Cookies. I like the journal starting on a 0-based index 😊

Just remember self-compassion. You’re trying, it’s really all that matters

Day 1: 

Oh no, I just relapsed – but just for a few minutes. Well, I guess I’ll still count it! 
 

I’m grateful for: 

 

Having a family

Food

Drink

Shelter

Whoops! I forgot to journal. Ok, I guess that I'll pretend this is day 2 😏

 

I'm grateful for:

Electronic devices (but not the games on them!)

Comfy clothes

My brain went on a holiday out of brain jail

A supporting family
