twoheadstalking Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Since joining the rebellion things haven't exactly gone as planned for me. Although some small progress has been made overall it feels like the last few weeks have been full of setbacks, in particular a couple of friendships haven't turned out as expected. Do you have any tips for bouncing back from such things? They can be general, or specific to things like, e.g. diet, exercise, mental/emotional health, friendships, romances etc. Quote Current challenge: The non challenge Link to comment
Irroxin Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I say the best thing you can do about friendship/relationship fallouts is to make sure you improve yourself, so that they see that you didn't really need them to succeed. The best case for someone who isn't your friend is to see you fail. I want to see you kick some butt! Go do something great! 2 Quote My Open Letter to the Self-Conscious Who Are Trying to Make a Change "The best project you'll ever work on is you." My Latest Progress Report Link to comment

That's a great idea, and allows me to re-focus. On 24/06/2017 at 11:51 PM, Irroxin said: I want to see you kick some butt! Go do something great!

Butternut Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Working out momentum We get junk momentum, we slowly start adding bad things into our diet, we slowly start missing workouts, before we know it, we've gained 5 lbs and haven't worked out for months. Pick one thing to create that spark, that start. Slowly but surely the momentum will get stronger and better. 2 Quote "One should eat to live, not live to eat." -Molaire- "People always forget their hangover" -My dear ol' dad "People are born to live, while some are born to evolve."

Jonesy Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Don't overlook the small stuff. You would be amazed at how significant it is realizing that a habit you have been working on for months finally becomes something you don't need to think about. You just do it. Also create a plan or timeline for yourself. You don't necessarily have to follow it to the T but if gives you something to work towards. I'm sorry about the friendships but if they can't handle you trying to better yourself, then maybe it's for the best.

VellaMal Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 All the above, with the addition of try and spend some time with other friends as well. Those friendships may have turned bad, and that sucks, but it's always good to have the reminder that there are other awesome people in your life, and that not all your friendships will turn out badly.
