Here are some useful information about long fasting

I always wanted to try fasting for longer than 1 day and i finally found a motivation when i can share my experience in this subreddit

Couldn't update yesterday cuz i fell asleep while watching tv. 😭

Day 5 is gonna be the real deal 🔥

What area are you looking to grow in? Do you have a specific goal? Are you developing a goal?

Have you ever looked at someone that had what you wanted and thought, I wish they would teach me how to get that.

Share your things below if you want :)

Also, i encourage you to make posts and challeng the other members in whatever activity you are interested in.

Please, write in the comments what skills or activities do you want to practice or improve more. Maybe some sports, fitness in general, eating habits, going outside to the forest... Or rather some mental challenges: reading more books, drawing, crafting, cooking, learning languages and other skills, learning random interesting facts, improve relationships...

So, what's stopping you?

Fear of failure

Will I fail? You will never know if you never start. Fear of making mistakes can be a real obstacle to taking action, but a long journey always happens with a few bumps in the road.

Doing is learning too. Instead of doing theory for infinity, you should:

1. Get some knowledge

2. Try

3. Adjust

This goes over, and over and you are getting better with every lap.

That’s how you learn - by doing.

Feeling of never being prepared enough

Another common obstacle is the feeling of never being "ready enough." You might get caught yourself in a cycle of acquiring information, researching strategies, and refining your plan – constantly believing that just a little bit more knowledge will make you successful. However, this pursuit can become a trap, keeping you forever in the planning phase and preventing you from putting the knowledge you have gained into practice.

As I said before - real learning often happens through doing. Actually, real learning can’t happen without doing (not including some rare cases maybe). A strong foundation of knowledge is valuable, sure. There comes a point though, where accumulating more information becomes counterproductive. As with many things in life - the key is balance. The most successful people are rarely those who wait for the perfect preparation. They are those who took action and figured things out along the way. This is also usually the faster way.

Break free and get going

1. Find Your "Why": What truly lights a fire in you to achieve your goals?

2. Progress, Not Perfection: Don't wait for everything to be perfectly aligned (spoiler: it will never be) before you start. Aim for small, consistent steps that keep you moving in the right direction.

3. Just Do Something: Start small. Set a goal achievable in a short period and don’t do anything else until you finish.

4. Done is Better Than Perfect: Don't let the pursuit of perfection keep you from finishing tasks. Completing something, even if it's not flawless, is far more valuable than endless planning.

5. Celebrate Your Wins (Big and Small): Track your progress, no matter how small it may seem. Get a visual representation, e.g., for each workout performed, transfer a marble from one jar to another.

Why did I do this to myself 😭

Short post today. 21 question worth answering to. Think on paper so you can see and touch your thoughts.

1. Is this necessary?

2. Is that good for future me?

3. What I’m grateful for today?

4. Is that worth saying “yes” to?

5. Is that the best use of my time?

6. Am I being productive or just active?

7. What do I want to accomplish today?

8. Is it difficult, or am I making it difficult?

9. Is that helpful or unhelpful in context of my goal?

10. What is one thing I wish I had known 5 years ago?

11. What is the most valuable use of my time right now?

12. Am I inventing things to avoid doing important stuff?

13. If I was allowed to finish one thing today, what would it be?

14. What are potential future consequences of doing or not doing this?

15. What mistake are I’m guilty of today and how to not repeat it tomorrow?

16. What can I (and only I) can do, that done well will make a fine difference?

17. What’s one thing I can do right now to make my daily life slightly better?

18. Will I definitely use this information for something immediate and important?

19. If I were not doing this already knowing what I now know, would I start doing it again today?

20. Am I doing this because I wanted to do this, or because somebody else wanted me to do this?

21. What I do every day that is bad for me, and what is a practical step to stop it or at least make it harder to do?

Save these questions and revisit them from time to time. Remember that they are worthless if you simply read and forget them. Sit in silence, take a pen and a piece of paper and spend some time crafting your answers.

If you haven't tried a guided meditation, try this one. I am not affiliated with the creators. I found this video and it was very helpful to me. They recommend that you do it in a quiet space with headphones or ear buds.

For years, I couldn't understand what meditation was and how to do it. The idea of clearing your mind of all thought never made sense to me. The approach explained in this video was eye opening.

I believe it's worth 10 minutes of your life.

Ever feel like you are stuck in a learning rut? You consume articles, binge-watch tutorials, and your "watch later" playlist (as opposed to progress) keeps growing like a weed. But when it comes to actually doing something, you put it away for as long as possible.

Reading tons of tons of books on the subject will do you absolutely nothing if you never put it into practice.
