you should probably ignore yourself more

now, i dont mean it like you should neglet yourself, partner! just like, ehh… dont do the thing that makes you happy short term and messes you up later!

everyone is guilty of that, and it’s quite alright. i still struggle with it. i gotta study but man oh man, video games and sitting on my ass all day calls for me.

i’ve seen a youtube video about this topic, and it’s still quite stuck in my head! i just assumed that i was the only one constantly battling with my own wants to do my needs. but man, we’re all fighting this fight, aren’t we? :D

anyway, this guy was saying to ignore yourself better, you need to teach yourself to resist!

inspiired by his advice, i went to try this with hot potato chips…

i have a habit of taking in air through my mouth to cool down my tongue, so to practice my stoicism, i… will NOT do it!

honestly it was fascinating the way i kept forgetting i was doing an exercise, opening my mouth to take in air and then immediately SIGHING at myself. this was going to take long. xD you can get creative and do this your own way! maybe with an itch?

but yeah! i never hear others talk about this, yet it’s something that everybody with responsibilities deals with! im actually resisting as we speak! :D resisting closing BlackBoard just to go back video games! its HARD! but ive gotta hold onto it until 7 pm (65% until i reach my goal!)

(by the way, here’s a link to the video i watched! i recommend it!)
