      See: My everyday life :-D I walk a lot, go to the park, and realize how much people go to bars or restaurants for fun and social life. I guess technically I spend a lot of time reading, listening to permaculture lectures, or drinking tea and those are not zero cost but neither is being alive because eventually you have to fuel and hydrate and nothing is free in America financially... I guess even in the Amazon some government owns the right to the country and thus it isn't free in the market economy either just extremely low cost to indigenous dwellers

    I just did a year sober. That was a challenge. I think people really misunderstand their own relationship with alcohol, and they say "it's not like I have a problem. I'm not an alcoholic. I still have a job and a family, so I don't need to quit. I just have a couple drinks now and then."
    Well, then quit for a month.
    "I don't want to."
    Why?
    "It's what I do to relax."
    Can you relax without it? Or is it a crutch? Can you meet your evening anxiety face to face and go to bed with a clear mind? Alcohol is a drug and not a healthy one. People that aren't abusing alcohol can still be self-medicating. Sobriety shouldn't be scary to anyone, but I've found a lot of people that will fight pretty hard not to go down that road.

      Congrats on your sober year! I decided to go sober at the beginning of this year too. It wasn't really something I thought about beforehand, I just wanted to stop one day, so I did... and over the past year it's really become apparent to me how much of my life revolved around it. Like after a stressful week I think about how badly I want to go home and get drunk or high and watch cartoons haha and I've had to force myself to find other healthier ways to unwind. I genuinely don't see myself introducing either alcohol or weed back into my life though, I think I've gained a lot from being sober, my relationship with myself and my mental health has definitely improved too because I haven't had any way to run away from whatever I'm dealing with.

    Meal planning is LEGIT! I went from spending $550+/month on groceries and eatting out, to roughly $280/month on groceries (we cut out restaraunts and fast food because they're so dang expensive). Im paying off debt, so this was AMAZING for me!

      Agreed! When I got serious about budgeting and paying down debt, I was SHOCKED at how much I spent monthly on dining out and happy hours. By nearly eliminating going out for dinners and drinks, I save a significant amount of money each month. That could also be an idea for a challenge: Find ways to cut back spending and save...say $500 in 30 days.

And oh my god it has helped my mental health so much! I did not think it would do anything except make med lose some weight and maybe make me feel less drowzy, but my mental state has drastically improved. I don't even care if I've lost any weight or not, the benefits to my mental healt has more than made it all worth it.

    I super love all of these challenges to make your life better. especially the meditation one. I'm a martial artist and my teacher says you should meditate for 15 min a day and if you don't have time for that you should meditate for 30 min a day. we spend a lot of time meditating and one of my favorite ways is the 108 belly breaths. you breathe in through the nose extending the belly (not the chest) then out through the nose sucking the belly in. do this 108 times. it is good for oxygenating your blood.

    The first video of yours I watched was the quitting sugar video and I've watched every one since. I love the light humor in the videos, its right in my zone. Additionally, I appreciate the candid/honest feedback about the various challenges you have completed and look forward to many more.
    However my favorite aspect of your videos the the large amount of introspection and self reflection you manage to cram into each video. This particular one was reflection on reflection which (is very meta) I find can be very valuable for long term planning and life goals. I hope you continue to check back on your past self to see how much you've changed and reevaluate your past thoughts as I found this video very insightful and thought provoking.

      @Becoming Godsize Because telling someone to just "change" is a non answer, that is like telling a depressed person to stop being depressed. Change is the solution, but change has to come from somewhere, and saying that IF does not help you lose weight is just false. It helped me to introduce change and that change lead to weight loss. It might not work for everyone but i don't really care about everyone, if it helps you. Great. If not, to bad. I then hope you then find another way to change behaviors.

    There are all kinds of journaling that you can do, such as gratitude journaling, bullet journaling, mood tracking, using a planner (I count it as a form of journaling), having one writing prompt a day (whether introspective or creative), stream of consciousness writing, dream journaling (writing down the dreams you had that night while you slept), having a good ol' fashioned diary, etc.
    Definitely look into bullet journaling as it can encompass all of the above ideas and more, if you so want.
    Could also try learning one new thing (especiialy a skill) a month, like languages, instruments, sports, crafts, art styles, hobbies, fixing things, about other religions/cultures, etc. Or, just a new language a month and/or a new instrument a month.

    -10k steps a day (work requires me to move more so it is easier. Some days I just sloth but it definitely feels good walking more, Lost a little weight)
    -Meditation (off and on, doing guided ones so far, that motivates me to come back for another, should do it more regularly. Still waiting for more good results, so far it just helps me fall asleep better when I meditate before bed.)
