Honestly I can't imagine myself being a doctor and I was against becoming one because people around me were trying to force me to since I was small kid. I would much rather be an entrepreneur but recently I feel motivated to try getting into MBBS(4 yrs course + 2 yrs of mandotary work) course just because I want to push myself. I know it sounds cringe. And I only have a vague sense of what I want in life anyways (financial freedom) so might as well become a doctor and start a business later on in life?.I need advice

I've tried so hard to discipline myself but I just can't, I wake up and I scroll instagram reels for 30 minutes before I get out of bed, when I'm standing in front of the fridge deciding what to eat I'll check my phone and mindlessly open Instagram or pinterest. when im brushing my teeth i scroll. I was scrolling before I opened this. I don't ever have problems with scrolling when I have other plans like school, it's just on weekends or days where I dont have plans where I end up wasting my life away.

I want to get rid of Instagram because that's the primary problem but it's one of the only ways I connect with a lot of my friends so I just don't know. I've set screen time limits on all my addictive apps but I don't even acknowledge them anymore and just hit no limit every time

What's better ebooks or physical books and why? Idk what to start with. I'm 17 and I didn't read so much before till now, at school they gave us boring books and ig this is why i didn't like reading. I want to read at least books that interest me like atomic habits or can't hurt me mostly about self improvement.

I want to be really good at things I am passionate about, but didn't pursue in my childhood and teenage. But I don't get enough time after work and responsibilities as an adult. How can I make time in my day to do so? I don't think I will ever be able to catch up to the competitive job market who have ppl who have been studying it for years.

For context, I wanna do masters in a math heavy field but my math sucks a lot rn, and I don't have relevant degree either. So I have to pretty much self study which is very difficult after work and taking caring of my sick parent.

Getting all my studies done takes a lot of time per day and I can only sleep like 4-5 hours after it. But I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

"Hello all! Lately, I've been working on developing healthier routines and gaining more command over my time. However, my mobile device has been a major source of distraction, and the various apps I attempted to use to regulate it seemed excessively restrictive."

I decided to test out Zenze. Rather than simply blocking access to my phone, it provides gentle reminders to help me maintain focus and displays a breakdown of my usage to prevent distractions. I have found it to be quite beneficial, as it allows me to adhere to my daily routines without feeling restricted by my device. "I wanted to let everyone know about this tool I found for self-improvement that provides support rather than limitations.

so i want to do undergrad research. But with my part time and studying for the exams that happen every six months , i just do not have the motivation to workout and work on my own writing. I even can try and set routines, and make time but i always seem to prioritise other tasks (that have external deadlines) first or resting. how do i stay disciplined enough to work on this ? any tips ?

How do you all get your mind back onto your goals when you have thoughts that don’t align to what you set out for ?

Any tips or tricks ?

Lately, I’ve seen people asking how to turn their lives around. I want to share an approach to life transformation that has helped 47 people of different ages, and backgrounds successfully reboot their lives over the last two years. 

Many who’ve tried to turn their lives around have been there—you listed the habits you wanted to build, created a routine, and committed to seeing it through. It started off great; you checked all the boxes on days one, two, and three. But gradually, the momentum faded, and eventually, the plan fizzled out.

You want one thing but do another, as if on autopilot—caught in a behavior pattern that won’t let you stick to the plans you’ve made for your life transformation. It’s as if your desires and plans aren’t aligned with your inner world—your energies just aren’t with you.

Here's the method to turn around your life -  align mental, emotional, and physical energies toward your most important goals.

1. If you only align mental energy—thinking and dreaming about your goals all day—your chances of success are slim.
2. If you only align emotional energy—forcing yourself to feel the outcome—success remains elusive.
3. If you only align physical energy—building habits and routines to brute force success—your chances are still slim.

The misalignment between these energies is the cause of continuous struggle, failure, and unhappiness.

We are all blessed with these energies, but only a few use them constructively. Take youth, for example: some people use it to fall in love and experience tremendous pleasure and happiness, while others waste it on pornography and addictions, living lives of silent desperation.

If you stop actively sabotaging yourselves You will find that external problems, circumstances don't really matter that much. In fact they will slowly fade away or you will feel powerful enough to stand as a rock to face and subdue them.

When you can align all three energies—train your inner world to believe in your success, live with a feeling of achievement, and then take massive action daily, your chances of complete transformation increase significantly.

How to align three energies
Mental energies: The way we think is the way we believe, and the way we believe is the way we feel. The way we feel is the way we act, and the way we act is the way we think. So, it’s a vicious cycle. Those who fall into the habit of thinking negative thoughts will invariably believe, feel, and act negatively. So, how can we break this chain? There is one point where you can intervene: your thoughts. You can train your thoughts—not only the conscious thoughts at the surface level of your mind but also the subconscious thoughts residing deep inside—and align them with the life you want. Remember, every battle is first won in the mind and then on the battlefield. A disoriented mind and a misaligned inner world cannot yield any results, no matter how many habits you track.

Emotional energies: As you start changing your thoughts—say just 1% or even 0.01% a day—you set in motion a life transformation. Now you need to align your emotional energy, i.e., your feelings. You can't think like a winner while feeling like a loser. You can't imagine yourself as fit and healthy while feeling unfit. Of course, it won't change in one day, but every day, bit by bit—starting from a minute a day to 10 minutes, then to an hour, and soon to 24 hours—feel the positive thoughts, envision their outcomes, stand upright, and feel like a winner, a warrior, or a prince or princess. Whether you know it or not, you have control over your feelings; you can feel however you want to feel. If a cat or dog video can change your feelings, and if that tiny little video can control your emotions, why can't you, with all your might, change how you feel?

Physical energies: Now it's time to take massive actions. The first step is to write down your goals: weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual. If that feels like too much at first, start by writing down one month’s goal, as it is long enough to see a change but short enough to maintain good momentum without feeling overwhelmed. Start small and build confidence.The second step is to establish a routine. Often, I see people trying to build habits. While I fully support building good habits, you should bake them into your daily routine. This way, those habits are not only aligned with your goals but also in sync with your daily life. Since they are part of your routine, you have allocated time and, in effect, energy to them, allowing all your energies to work in harmony.

Nine tools to reboot your life
It's time to put theory into practice, and for that, you need tools. Here is a set of nine tools that, when used together, can do wonders in a short time:

1. Goals & dreams:  Define and quantify your goals. Know precisely what you want. If you want to be rich, specify how rich—whether it's $1 million, $10 million, or $500 million. If you want to be fit, determine how fit: what your body fat percentage should be, how much muscle mass you aim to gain, and how many miles you should be able to run.
2. Affirmations: Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat many times a day with a positive mindset. They help train deeper levels of your subconscious mind to believe them. Create one affirmation for each of your goals, written as if you have already achieved it. For example: "I am a multi-millionaire; my net worth is $16 million." or "I am a calm person. Staying calm and in control of my feelings is my superpower."
3. Vision board: A vision board is a photo collage of your dreams and goals—a photo of your dream house, your dream body, your favorite car, etc.—whatever your goals may be. It serves as a visual representation of your dreams, a manifestation on which you can focus for a couple of minutes each day to cement your belief in achieving them and to feel them coming to you.
4. Gratitude Journal: Gratitude is a powerful practice that can set you free from the shackles of the past and the burden of hurt 
5. Daily Journal: A daily journal helps you reflect and stay committed to your plans.
6. Story: Write the story of your life, highlighting your wins and achievements—whether they were in school, university, at work, at home, in the gym, or anywhere else. Often, when we watch a movie or someone else's story, we feel inspired, even if it’s fiction. What stops you from rewriting your own story in a way that can inspire you to build upon your past successes? This practice will help train your subconscious mind as well as your feelings.
7. Identity:  Who will you be when you achieve your goals and realize your dreams? What kind of person will you become? Detail it out.
8. Manifesto: Craft your manifesto. What are your goals? Who are you? What are you trying to achieve in your life? What kind of life do you want to live? What moves you? What are you passionate about? How do you want to be known and remembered?
9. Routine and progress tracking:  Build a routine and track your daily progress. If you've never created a routine, here is a simple way to start: fix your wake-up time, bedtime, and the time for just one activity that can potentially have a high impact on your life. Give it your all to follow this routine. As you become accustomed to it and feel comfortable, add more activities. A routine includes a time interval and an activity mapped to it.

Create all of these, print them, and put them in a folder.

Daily Workflow

1. Every morning and evening, read your dreams and goals, affirmations, and look at your vision board. Feel those things, write in your gratitude and daily journals, and read your story, identity, and manifesto—all while focusing fully and being present.
2. Follow your daily routine and track daily progress.
3. Understand that progress is progressive. Don't be disheartened by setbacks and failures; instead, focus on making progressive gains.
4. Use the results as feedback to improve your thoughts and beliefs. In actionable terms, this means using your results to enhance your affirmations and other tools.
5.  Remember this equation of life transformation: Thoughts > Beliefs > Actions > Results > Feedback
6. If you’re interested, I’ve created a web app that includes all nine tools. You can save your affirmations and vision board, write gratitude and daily journals, save your story, identity, and manifesto, and create and track your daily routine. You can access it from your computer or your phone, allowing you to stay connected with your life transformation journey on the go. You will also find detailed videos on how to craft your story, identity, manifesto, routine, etc., within the app. You can use it for free.
7. At the beginning of this post I said that many people have benefited from this approach, some of them have publicly shared their success, you can check them out in this community.

Remember
You are not alone in the dark; you are a child of the universe. Your relationship with the universe is sublime and divine. Rise above your animalistic existence and channel the energies given to you. Time gone by is gone forever.  Start now.

Transform your life before 2024 ends, and step into 2025 as a champion.

Hope this helps! I'll be around to help in the comments.

feel bitter and sad over the idea that I have to be successful and transform myself into someone impressive to get the attention of women. I guess what bothers me is seeing other guys who might be average or even below average, not particularly successful, or just plain unremarkable in every way and yet they're able to find women that choose to be with them.

They're desired already without needing to become anything impressive. I feel so bitter that I have to level up as a person and in life to finally be wanted and experience what other guys do effortlessly. It makes me feel so resentful and frustrated that so many other guys dont need to be anything special, meanwhile I feel like I'm only good enough if I become more than I am now. It stings so much to know women would only be interested in a version of me that's successful and accomplished.

I am currently working on myself, not to attract women but not gonna lie, if women end up becoming interested in me after I transform myself into a different person who is accomplished, I am gonna feel so angry and bitter about it. I even think about breaking their hearts and doing things like taking them on expensive dates and dinning and dashing and leaving them with the bill.

I hate that I had to finish last and be a "late bloomer" while so many other guys started having those experiences throughout their younger years.

I guess everything requires sacrifices and life is all about trade offs. I have very less time left to enjoy things, socialise or travel.

What stops you from getting things done/being productive or sticking to something?

For me unfortunately, I am so undisciplined that pretty much anything in my way stops me.

The bed/sleep is my biggest block/challenge. I would like to get up early but I seem to only be able to do it if I have somewhere I need to be. Or my wife makes me get up.

Electronics and specifically social media, YouTube, and tv shows is the other big thing that I tend to choose over doing the things I am supposed to. I have tried app blockers but they are too easy to turn off. It's just so much easier to watch a tv show than work on my project.

Also the couch is a blocker. Once I sit on the couch I feel like my day is done.

What are your biggest blockers to being productive?

I have very rapid and unstable mood swings that cause me to be relatively okay and then extremely su!cid4l the next and this makes me very depressed. One way I cope with this is through sleeping but that takes away my time to exercise and do stuff. I always say I’ll take a little nap and then wake up 5 hours later like an idiot. I just wanna know how to force myself even when I feel like throwing myself into train tracks or feel like I’ll drop d3@d from lack of sleep. I’m not even seeking to be a very successful and productive person, I just want to be able to exercise at least 4 days a week because I’m tired of feeling guilty for not doing it.

Got any other app recs that actually keep you sane?

Over the past 3 years i work out for months and months, but then i just quit for weeks, sometimes months.

Why? I just never get used to it.

Getting ready to work out, going to the gym, taking a shower right afterwards, heading back home. It never got easier for me and working out was the worst part of my day.

The few cheat days i had, or days where things came up and i couldn't work out i'd get mad and feel uncomfortable about not working out, not because i was going through the motions, but because i would have to pull every ounce of willpower to work out the next day.

I quit a few weeks ago but im trying to hype myself up to get back to it, since i frankly put some weight on and would just rather build muscle on top of it like i was when i worked out, whereas now im slouching.

And i just realized, that im going to hate it, that i never liked it and that i honestly was in a shittier mood every time i was exercising.

I’m currently a full time student at a community college. I’ll be transferring to a four year college hopefully next fall semester so I’m really trying to save up towards my goals as well as have disposable income. Right now I just have enough to save towards my goals and my expenses without much disposable income. I’ve been thinking about getting a second job for a while

My question being: how has anyone else navigated being a student with two jobs? What has helped you and kept you disciplined?

Life has been for the most part great, but I feel I've gotten stuck in a rutt. I'm 31 years old. Use to work out all the time and take pretty good care of myself. I've struggled on and off with alcohol and now I'm finding myself consuming more then I should.

I'm reaching out cause we'll, I miss working out, I am having such a hard time motivating myself to go back. I'm sure I'm not alone. I've taken myself off of most social media platforms as well.

What are some things that have given you that motivation? Honestly I think I stopped cause of the ex I was with for 5 year. Formed some really bad habits with her like laziness and such. Use to be a lean 176 and now I'm at 214 :/ want to get healthy.

Anything helps! Let's take our minds off the bs election crao and help one another! Thanks!

Personally, I hate all social media but hate tiktok the most. Yet it’s so addicting to keep scrolling and I feel like I’m missing something. I’ve deleted it before for long amounts of time but end up going back. I’ve tried the screen time setting to set only an hour a day. I’m over it all together though, it’s a waste of time and filled with negativity and dumb stuff. Has anyone successfully deleted it? How do you stay disciplined and what do you do to replace it?

I only use it because I get bored sometimes.

You would figure it would be the opposite. That is, if someone had debt to pay off they'd be more driven to work.

For me it was the opposite. I wanted to drop out of life and stay in bed all day, doing nothing. If I have some burden connected to me, I want to work as little as possible. If there's burdens off of me? I'm more able to get things done and not want to just waste away.

Thankfully my debt was manageable.

Yet, I can't figure out why that is. It makes me hesitant to ever get into debt again or carry burdensome financial responsibilities because doing so makes me want to do nothing at all.

To accomplish incredible things: you have to love what you do.

We are told to “push through the pain” or “embrace the struggle”. But the truth is, those that learn to enjoy the work will beat you every single time.

You have to love what you do, and the truth is, this is possible for everyone. Everyone falls in love with the outcome of their work: to make money, or live a certain lifestyle.

What you need to do instead, is fall in love with the actual work: the day to day tasks that get you to where you want to go. And you don’t have to love these tasks, you just have to love what they do for you.

I don't expect you to fundamentally love the day-to-day tasks that make up your goals. Chances are you don't. But you can still love your work, this can be done by loving what your work does for you. You can love your work when you understand that your work is improving you, and taking you where you want to go in your life.

When your work gets hard, but you keep going: this is improving you, and improving who you are.

So when I sit down to work, and I don't want to, and it's hard and it's painful, I still love it. 

Because my brain understands that the pain I get from working, will provide me with great things in the future, and I love that, so I subsequently love to work, and I enjoy it.

We see many people make this same perspective with exercise, although working out is physically straining, we see many people love to work out, and this is because they understand that the pain from working out is improving them.

You can do the same thing with work.

I got this from moretimeoffline they only use productivity based on science, its called Neuroproductivity. Feel free to check it out!

Hope this helps! cheers :)

I had a 90 day challenge to finish a project, and I am at day 70 with nothing to show for. I won't be able to complete the project in time, and certainly won't be able to do it nicely. Despite all this, how can I wake and do the work with a smile, and not torture myself into in-activeness.

"Something is better than nothing" sounds good in theory but it is very difficult to apply in practice. I have mainly faced these 2 issues:

1. I have evidence of the past 70 days that I am total loser and don't do anything for the project, so how can I do anything now?

2. No matter how much I even try, I won't be able to achieve my goal of finishing the project nicely or even finishing it.

Hi so I have seen many people on here talking about how to stay disciplined. One of the things that people say is to get rid of social media. The only problem is that Social Media does earn me some income. Therefore I need to keep social media to be updated on what is happening with my job.

I really want to lock in with things like school and YouTube but just can’t anymore without getting started on something else.

So how can i be disciplined while still keeping social media?

I want to learn how to appreciate things I've been told numerous times that I don't and I want to learn how to

Quick story: I was playing as a winger about to shoot a goal however before this and previous matches I would miss every shot. Although I had great vision and passing, I couldn’t shoot to save my life. I was wearing trainers while people were wearing boots. I doubted my abilities which inflicted my self doubt. I did turned around and passed it to my teammate behind me instead who ended up missing. The opposition goalkeeper called upon me and told me to my face “you are definitely the best player here, the best player”. At that moment, I was about to crash out. I just felt a spark of anger. I just wanted to score free past them and go up to him and say “hey, you. How does it feel to be the worst player on this pitch right now?”. This never happened I was brought back to go and goal and the matter is about to end anyway. I felt angry for the rest of the night and had a sudden urge to just fix everything get stronger get ,get faster and be better at shooting. I rarely feel like this. There was one occasion where someone had insulted my maths skills. I took it personally and worked so hard that I ended up getting the highest grades out of all my friends and went onto pursue engineering and the PhD in engineering.

Right now, I am a bit overweight which affects my speed and possibly shooting capabilities in football. I did feel I need to improve but that feeling slightly went away when I went back home and just scrolled on my phone and played PlayStation.

It’s still there, but not as powerful.

I know I will need a complete overhaul of my life. I want that guy to regret it. It’s not just about him, but it’s about me becoming a better person to. Not taking disrespect and showing them what I can do and not be a useless waste of space.

There are a certain amount of various I want to work on in my life whether it’s fitness improving my academic work, increasing my spirituality and religious practices, and also starting a business and pursuing side projects.

How can I go about changing my life? When I doubt whether I can actually pull this all off and if it’s actually worth it doing all these things, especially side projects and what not. Would they (side projects related to engineering) actually be beneficial for me and my career?

Some advice on what to do would be nice.

Thank you

Background

Since birth, I've never led a disciplined lifestyle. If there's no inherent motivation, I struggle to take action. This is reflected in my late decision-making and my habit of cramming before examinations. Pressure and racing against the clock were a big motivation for me to start working then. Life was smooth until I entered university, living far away from my family. Embarrassingly, house chores like cleaning, laundry, cooking, and even submitting assignments on time were major hurdles.

Covid during freshman year didn't help. Nor did my first few Fs either. Motivation being my main source of action, depression took over for a long while. Thankfully, a random major burst of motivation one day set off a chain set of events that turned my life around. I began keeping my sleep, nutrition, and physical fitness in check. For the very first time, I started living a structured life.

However, this only continued for only half a year before an injury from physical activity ruined my flow.

Problem
Exercising was a core part of my daily routine. I centered my eating and sleeping habits around this hobby. It got me focused and driven not only to crush PRs, but also other daily activities as well. With this missing, it left a vacuum. I was left with ample free time which was filled with gaming and (unfortunately) scrolling social media. Staying up all night looking at screens took precedence over my sleep, consequently affecting my studies as well as my energy for other hobbies and activities.

Solution
To rebuild my discipline, I gave Atomic Habits a read. The bit of building a system to avoid sole reliance on motivation stuck with me, so I gave it a try :

1. Sold my PC to quit gaming.
2. Deleting social media
3. Setting phone away from bed.
4. Setting my phone to greyscale during bedtime hours.

It did work. I can live without gaming and checking Instagram daily. I can wake up once the alarm rings. But I am just bored. This time around, I find myself excessively watching YouTube (not shorts) to fill the time.

I deduced that until my injury is healed, a substitute dopamine source was needed. So, I started getting a part-time job, talking to someone daily, and started my hobby of drawing again to distract myself. But it just isn't the same.

Is it because the activities I'm substituting with are mundane? Or is it that I need an activity that continuously provides a goal, something to pursue? But then it wouldn't be discipline, but still motivation-driven, wouldn't it?

Any advice would be very helpful, please.

Yesterday I wanted to control myself and not go on Reddit while I was studying, I tried everything, but it was impossible and I had to grab the tablet and make a post about something that was on my mind.

Also, in college almost every time I'm studying I start thinking about other things or start imagining dumb things (like me being rich), once my hand was shaking and I had to leave earlier than usual (yes, I have a schedule but it's not always followed).

Worst of all, I believe that even though I'm only 18, I won't be able to change these bad habits and that I'll be the same failure for the rest of my life.

It's horrible and I'm having problems because of it, but I don't know if it's something psychological or if it's me being irresponsible (I think it's the second option).

I know I'm going to fail in life because I'm a fat idiot with no friends but I'd like to know if lack of concentration is curable, thank you.

What I currently use:

1. OneNote: Journal, book quotes and learnings, lists, decisions and reasoning.
2. App called Habit Tracker
3. Google Tasks: To Do, Projects, Goals, Ideas. Love this app especially with the online web view being able to see all categories together.

What do you use?

We’ve all been there—facing a perplexing issue and finding ourselves stuck, unable to find the answers we seek. When we hit these roadblocks, it's easy to say, "I don't know," and leave it at that.

However, by recognising the deeper meanings behind our own "I don't know," we can uncover what's truly holding us back. This list isn't just for understanding others; it's a powerful tool for self-reflection. By asking ourselves the right questions, we can identify our sources of uncertainty, avoidance, or overwhelm, and take meaningful steps toward clarity and resolution. Let’s turn our sticking points into stepping stones for personal growth and insight.

Consider the following meanings of I don’t know and how we can move beyond

1. Uncertainty: we genuinely don't have an answer at the moment.

• What do I think might be a possibility? • What would I like to know? • What might I know if I did know?

2. Lack of Self-Awareness: we may not have spent much time reflecting on the question.

• What have I noticed about myself recently? • When was a time a time I had a clearer idea? • What would someone close to me say about this?

3. Avoidance: we may be avoiding the question because it's uncomfortable or difficult.

• What makes this question difficult to answer? • What do I feel comfortable confronting? • Is there a smaller part of this I can tackle?

4. Fear of Judgment: we may worry about being judged – or maybe judging ourselves - for our true answer.

• My thoughts exist in my mind only – they have no external reality: do I have to act on them? • There are no wrong answers here: what’s really on my mind? • What are my responses to my thoughts telling me?

5. Overwhelm: we may feel overwhelmed by the question or situation.

• Let’s take it one step at a time: what’s my first thought? • What’s the smallest thing I am sure about on this? • How can I break this down into smaller parts?

6. Difficulty Articulating Feelings: we know the answer but struggle to put it into words.

• Can I describe this another way? • What’s a word or image that comes to mind? • What would it sound like, look like, feel like, if I could express it?

7. Disconnection: we may feel disconnected from our thoughts or emotions.

• When was a time I felt more connected? • What helps me feel more in tune with myself? • What’s something that always brings me back to myself?

8. Lack of Clarity: we may not have a clear understanding of our feelings or thoughts.

• What might bring more clarity to this situation? • What do I need to understand better? • What’s the first step in finding clarity?

9. Protection Mechanism: we may be using 'I don't know' as a defence mechanism to protect themselves.

• What am I protecting myself from? • How can I create a safe approach to this issue? • What’s a small, safe piece I can tackle?

10. Indecision: we may be uncertain and haven’t made up our mind yet.

• What are the options am I considering? • What feels right in my gut? • What would help me decide?

11. Need for More Time: we need more time to think about the question.

• Take your time. What comes to mind first? • What might I know tomorrow? • What support do I need in finding an answer?

12. Distrust: we may not feel comfortable enough sharing our thoughts.

• What are my safe environments? • How can I make them more comfortable? • What do I need to feel safe?

13. Feeling Pressured: we might be pressuring ourselves to come up with an answer quickly.

• There’s no rush: what are my initial thoughts? • How can I slow this thought process down? • What would help me feel less pressured?

14. Mind Blank: our mind might go blank due to stress or anxiety.

• What’s the first thing that popped into my head? • Take a few deep breaths. What am I noticing? • What’s something small I’m aware of right now?

15. Ambivalence: we have mixed feelings and are unsure how to express them.

• What are the pros and cons I’m weighing up? • What’s one part of this that feels clear? • What might help me resolve these mixed feelings?

16. Lack of Knowledge: we genuinely lack the knowledge or insight to answer the question.

• What information might help me? • Where could I find the answer? • What do I need to learn more about this?

17. Confusion: we may not fully understand the question or its implications.

• What’s the part that confuses me most? • What would make this clearer? • How would I explain my confusion to a trusted friend?

18. Habitual Response: we use 'I don't know' as a habitual response.

• What’s another way I could respond? • What’s beneath my usual response? • How would I answer if I didn’t say ‘I don’t know’?

19. Seeking Reassurance: we might be looking for reassurance before answering.

• What kind of reassurance would help me right now? • What would be helpful for me right now? • What would best support me in finding an answer?

20. Exploring Boundaries: we could be testing our boundaries.

• What boundaries am I curious about? • What do I need to know to feel safe? • How can I re-establish boundaries that work for me?

So, with the insight you have learned from working through the above, ask yourself:

• What have I learned? • What will I now start doing / stop doing / do more of / do less off / do differently

Every day I say I'm going to start doing my habits every day, but I don't do them, I wake up very late at 12 in the morning, and I feel angry at not doing my habits as they should be done. I already know I have a problem, Ihope how to start being disciplined.

Already read books abour Atomic habits..etc.. but i apply for 1 week then i stop
