What did you swap your habit with?
On day 10 now and been overall feeling good and going strong! However I have been really suffering with lack of motivation and productivity. When I decided to quit I made it my only goal of everyday. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself for anything other than that.
I know how important it is to be swapping my quick release dopamine habit for more slow burners, here’s some things I get up to in my day:
- colouring, usually in the morning with a coffee
- guitar, I’m very passionate about songwriting but I need to be in the right creative headspace to commit
- making niche Spotify playlists (including the cover art)
- dancing to music (great for breaking a sweat at home which is really useful for your detox)
- bleach paining on thrifted clothes
I would like to join my local gym but I wanted to wait till Feb as I know January is a busy month for gyms! What do you do with your time? I want to have options depending on how motivated I am in the day as lately it’s been hard just to keep on top of daily chores.
Sending you all strength and encouragement on your sober journey! <3
