IDENTIFYING THE WEAKNESS
After writing the last blog i realised i had worked on my problems at the surface level only. But if i want to move forward and want to break these chains of bad habits and distractions, I need to identify my weaknesses and work on them to make me get stronger.
Before start writing this blog , I just had the thought of getting a coke from the nearby store and i will write this blog after that but my friend said no to this idea because of cold and sugar in coke.
After he said no , I replied him back you are right . I am getting addicted to this. I realised that i am addicted to the sweetness of the coke , or the taste of the fast food and i crave them whenever a urge for sugar comes to me.
I used to be determined earlier and won't allow my mind to distract me to buy fast food or coke (not even diet) but since the last month i have been sloppy , i don't try to control my thought process , my immediate actions and practice self discipline on my thoughts and actions.
Today i listened to david goggins's book " never finished " on audible and that dog mentality of getting after it and becoming uncommon amongst uncommon came back, I stopped feeling sorry for myself. Did my workout, bought chicken and cooked chicken and rice for dinner.
Long time ago , I read the book of shwetabh Gangwar , In which he said we should imagine ourself as a country and bad habits as the corruption, terrorism and thugs inside our country. We build police ,army , legislature to get rid of them from our country.
Similarly bad habits such as :
- Eating packaged food
- Drinking soft drinks
- Eating sugar
- Sleeping till late
- Watching and scrolling unnecessary videos on youtube
- Watching shorts
- Scrolling on X and wasting time
- Watching netflix even when you haven't done any work
- Not throwing trash daily
- Going to bed with wearing earbuds and listening audiobooks
etc. are corruption for my body and mind. If i allow these habits to prosper then i won't be able to develop my country( myself).
But i also have to realise that i cannot change overnight , I need to win 100s of battle before i get to win the war. I need to pick the habits that i can't allow at all. In my opinion food , sleep , waking , social media, netflix are the habits that i can't ignore at all, Otherwise i will be promoting corruption.
So, the first set of rules are :-
Go to bed without any earbuds or gadgets with yourself.
Wake up after the alarm rings and start your day.
Don't use youtube for other than watching lectures for exams.
Don't use x for other than posting about your blogs and study progress, gym routine
Don't watch netflix unless you have done atleast 2 hours of work beforehand and while eating meals listen to audiobooks if you can't eat meal alone yet. NOTE : NO NETFLIX WHILE YOU EAT SOMETHING
DON'T WATCH NETFLIX FOR MORE THAN 1.5 HOURS IN A DAY
DON'T USE PHONE WHILE YOU USE WASHROOM
I will need to build these key stone habits before building working for 8hrs daily habit cause that habit will need a good amount of support habits that structure my day and conquer it.
I have to win all these battles before even thinking about fighting the war.
I HAVE MY ENGLISH EXAM TOMORROW ,FIRST EXAM OF THE 5TH SEMESTER, LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES AND I WILL UPDATE HOW THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL THESE 7 HABITS WILL WENT TOMORROW.
SEE YOU !!!!
