Post Body

Most of you will not have seen my last post, but I basically took initiative to lose weight, put more consistent effort towards my craft. Right after I posted that, I went through some rough shit, and I spent 10 days in the worst way possible. Junk food all day, binge-watching TV, and playing video games.

"Hello darkness my old friend"

Nothing as dark as living life purely following the "pleasure-impulses". Short term pleasure, very short term, for just a general feeling of rotting away. And the roughest part is that you don't really see a way out. I mean you know that of course you should be doing useful shit, but you don't feel like there is a way out.

But that is a good time to enforce some dogma into your life, as I did. I just wrote down, "the next 5 days will pass anyways, so let me be proud of how I spent them". I woke up early, ate well, and put consistent effort into my craft. The first day was hell. Absolute hell. But once I got the day in, it started becoming easier. I just had to remind myself to take it one step at a time. And five days later, the world has completely shifted.

It's a beautiful thing. I just write this as a reminder to anyone who is in a dark place. Write down what you know you need to do. Take it one step at a time. Suffer. It does get better. Much better. In just 5 days.

Also I call myself ambitiousundisciplinedguy from now on so you guys can follow my journey (if you want)
