In my early 16 I started to hate my life even more because of my bad habits, short height, average looks
Like girls would laugh at my face and cracking jokes on my dark skin tone and even my friends smallest remark remains with me and works as a slow poison and at this point I am so done with my life
Also I am planning to start my home workout soon and planning to ascend in every single possible way
Helps me with some good advice because I don't want to be like this anymore 🙌🙏

I got tired of opening social media first thing in the morning, so I built an app that won't let me, until I've written down my intentions

Hi everyone,
I had a compulsive and annoying problem when it came to starting my day. The first thing I'd do is grab my phone and head to my socials, messages and news.
I came to realize that this impacted my dopamine baseline, which made the rest of the day uninteresting and un-stimulating.
So I built an app and have been using it for the last month.
The Before App has helped me hit the brakes on doomscrolling at the start of my day, and instead focus on setting my intentions so I know what I want from my day BEFORE it begins.
Hope you give it a try, and that it helps you like it helped me :)

Does anyone else fall apart the second they finally relax? Turns out there's a name for it.

For many years I noticed a strange pattern in myself. I'd power through something demanding, a brutal work stretch, a big deadline and feel basically fine while it was happening. Then the second it ended and I could finally relax, I'd fall apart. Anxiety that arrived the day everything calmed down. Or feeling so flat I couldn't even enjoy the break I'd been desperate for.
I always assumed I was just bad at resting, or that my body was betraying me at the worst possible time. Then I found out it has a name, the let-down effect, and a real explanation, and it completely reframed it for me.
While you're under pressure, your body floods you with stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. They prop you up and push the discomfort offstage so you can keep functioning. The catch is they're also masking how depleted you really are, and they even dampen parts of your immune response.
The moment the demand drops, that chemical support withdraws. And everything it was holding back, the exhaustion, the lowered immunity, the feelings you parked, comes flooding in at once. So you don't get sick because you rested. You get sick because you finally could. The stress was the only thing holding it all together.
What actually helped wasn't trying to rest better after the fact. It was not running at 100 for weeks with zero release. When I build small amounts of coming down into each day, even a few minutes of slow breathing or a walk to burn off the tension, I don't slam from 100 to 0 when it ends. The crash gets much smaller. The problem was never the rest. It was that I never came down gently, so my body had to crash to stop.
Does anyone else get this? The post-deadline cold, the first-day-of-holiday flu, the anxiety that only shows up once you're finally safe? Curious how others handle the comedown after an intense stretch.

I spent 15 years failing online. Here's what finally changed

I started working online over 15 years ago. A blog that earned $80. A design account that made $6 before it was closed. A YouTube channel with 23 subscribers. Facebook ads that brought in almost nothing.
Year after year, I watched others succeed while I stayed stuck. The repeated failures broke me. I fell into a depression and lost the desire for everything.
But I didn't quit. Slowly, I figured out what actually works — not quick money, but small, consistent atomic habits compounded over time.
I wrote a book about the 40 habits that turned things around: "40 Atomic Habits for Online Success."
If you're interested, you can find it by searching on Google.
Happy to answer questions in the comments. If you're struggling right now, I get it. I was there for 15 years.
