Do people still hang out without booze?

Image
Seems to me when ever i want to do anything anymore i always get the question why arnt you drinking? Are you driving? No !! What the fuck, whats with all the booze, can i not just hang out and be social without all this money spent on drinking. Im not sure what it is just seems to thats all i get when i meet up with people. Drink Drink, and more Drinking. I've had enough of all this drinking and expectation to drink and get drunk. Some of my best sober nights would have been even better if not for all the drink pestering. I enjoy a drink when i feel like a drink but the majority of the time im in just a good frame of mind to not need a drink. When ever people want to see each other in my area, there is always drink involved. Do people hang out without drink, whats normal? I haven't seen any people for a while because im avoiding the drinking situations. If it involves just drinking then im out. People never seem to get together for healthy reasons, lets meet up and drink vegeta...

When the alarm goes off i got to get out of bed

Image
The way i got around this goal is setting the alarm for when i need to get up, if i press snooze then il be late. if i set my alarm for before when i need to get up il just go back to sleep. So i just set it for when i “Need” to get up. If its the weekend or i have no plans i turn the alarm clock off! This is working, i still feel a little tired in the morning , but at least i haven’t been spending 30mins talking in my head why pressing the snooze button is a bad idea, then thinking ok just press it 1 more time. Those mental games that get played when there is the choice to press the snooze just cause more tiredness. I wake up and get up or im in trouble!

I want to clear my student loan

Image
Although it does not worry me, its a debt that i have hanging over my head, that i wish i was clear of. University was great, i enjoyed the experience of the whole thing every year i was there i was also creating more debt. Ive been working on trying to pay some of it back, i want to cleat this debt. Still i am on an income that does not allow me to clear this loan, i could pay some of it off but then im also not going to be able to save for the future. So im in a situation where, this is a goal i am trying to think creatively about. The easiest way to clear this is to just get a higher paying job. Although i am happy in my current role, so i will keep working at clearing this debt. See more progress on: pay my student loans

you will be late if you press the snooze button

in order to stop hitting the snooze button , set your alarm for that momnet in time when you would panic and say “oh crap i need to go go” so the alarm is an alarm. if your gona hit snooze then just set the time so that snooze is not an option, then if you want to get up earlier it is due to your own natural choice and motivation rather than the buzz of the alarm going off. using this aproach i am starting to wake ealier naturaly as i am now trying to get up before the alarm goes off, rather than after it has made its anoying beep. The alarm should be just that an alarm!! Learn to wake up before the alarms are raised! See more progress on: stop hitting snooze

Back on the Cold showers again and starting to feel it

wooo , had a while where i went back on the warm showers, but now the boiler is broke im on the cold 1’s again, think the trick is just stand under the water and feel the pain, it lasts about 1-2mins then the water just seems to feel warm. not sure if this is the point where your skin just goes numb. then massage the cold water in to your skin. feels good the first 1-2 mins is the worst and also if you put your head on the water, you get the brain freeze feeling, and can be hard to open your eyes, your whole head goes numb See more progress on: take more cold showers
