it wasn’t lack of discipline
I lost 2 hours scrolling!
It wasn't just the cycle, it was the obsessive, sabotaging place my brain was at.
It kept throwing random thoughts at me that i didnt even try to fight which caused me to spiral and lose myself in scrolling.
So what did i do - well these thing to start with
Then I tried running, circuit training that didn't work my body felt tight and stiff my nervous system was guarding - I was just exhausted and frustrated but i adapted, i listened to my body and did core, breath work and mobility.
The roundabout my brain was on started to slow with smaller trigger spikes
Then I remembered I have a choice and I reminded myself that doing something you don't want to do everyday helps develop your frontal brain - so that's exactly what I did.
I ended the night with my bible and fell straight asleep.
Next day I was disciplined no alarming snoozing up at 6am
Journal
Bible
Run
No scrolling
And I can honestly say I felt better for it.
It wasn't lack of discipline or even motivation it was my brain sabotaging me while I was exhausted, that's not a permanent thing it's something that's easily rectified.
Sometimes training with purpose = resting.
