fearless: DOPAMINE


Recommended Posts

rain all day today. and quite cold ( 16°C)

didnt have a cold shower, but since I got a proper raincoat, I marched to the supermarket and back ( only 1,5k)

coffee was had and I fasted until noon.

also very dopamine friendly was getting a mail that I won a scholarship with the SMART program to do the facilitator course and be able to volunteer and lead recovery groups. The training is self paced and online and I really feel like doing it. so YAY!

have the evening off and will do some writing after dinner.

Weight is still the same. As long as I dont gain, thats fine.

feeling more motivated already and have washed my curtains and put up a new shower curtain as well. laundry is done and dishwasher has run also. Im pretty on top of my chores right now. Also students have been a joy to work with today. All is well! :)

Yes, I am returned! I haven't designed my challenge yet though. I'll dream it up tomorrow and post tomorrow night. In the meantime, continue excellently. ❤️

yesterday I did a small walk. then lazed around all day. no shower.

today we met friend and dog and did 4k.

cold shower was had

coffee was enjoyed

started with the SMART training course which counts towards my writing goal.

will sleep early today so I can wake up early all next week. hoping to get into a writing flow with a bigger time window at the desk.

have a brilliant week you heroes! :)

Hey Possum, did you net any flow today?

thanks you guys for looking after me! ❤️

 

I had a fantastic day.

got up at 7am,cleaned the whole house, even mopped the floors ( which I usually hate). Then went shopping and for a dog walk.

taught a kid, did an online recovery meeting, decided to quit smoking again later this week because I was so motivated by meeting.

then had a second walk with dog.

and had a cold shower in the morning.

dopamine is high right now and tomorrow I can sit down to write at a spotless desk.

going to bed happy tonight :)

Ive changed my plans:

taking Wellbutrin since yesterday and will have another go at smoking cessation. this is the thing I most need to tackle. 

have been good with walking and cold showers. writing shall happen a bit later. my place is spotless.

this will be my 4th quit, so its a tough one for me.

will have to take my medication for about 2 weeks until quit date. I will keep you posted.
