Day 2
This update will be a bit shorter, today has been a good day so far. I feel like I have been productive. I got some school work done in the morning and went to the gym. I also started a time budget and food journal, to track where I am spending my most valuable resource - time! And also to keep myself honest about what I am eating so when I look back at a day or a week I won't be able to trick myself about how much junk I ate vs how many good meals I ate. I have not looked at FB or porn at all today, although there was some very strong urges for the latter when I came across some files I had deleted previously but discovered they were in my recycle bin still. It seemed like a "waste" to delete them since I had not watched them yet. But I resisted the urges, thankfully, and came on here to write a journal update instead. It feels much better than the alternative... There I just went and emptied the recycle. When it comes to temptation though it will certainly be everywhere, it always is. For gambling, porn or anything else. Especially on the internet, some of the websites I go to have suggestive ads for dating sites etc all over them, for example the site I use to download music/movies, or the site I watch tv shows on. I'm not sure yet how I will deal with the urges when they get really strong, but hopefully the goal and the focus on a complete "mental cleanse" and writing everyday, knowing I will have to write it down, hopefully that will keep me strong! People often do these cleanse diets for their body, Ive never tried one but that's what I will call this, my 100 day mind cleanse haha.
