what will you sacrifice

• Excessive use of internet to kill time
• Over-/Under-Eating and eating what's bad for my health
• Turning away in a (inner) conflict to just start a random activity
• Let fear control my (re)actions
• To outtalk my opposite to oppress feelings or reactions
• Try avoid indirect talk, and things like irony, sarcasm and lies (the talk of a man ought to be better than his silence would have been)
• Exceeding my limits e.g. working out too hard, staying up way too late

It's hard to formulate fully practically because I found that my mind comes up with fabulous opportunities to not face my inner demons

Update: still looking for suitable replacements for most of them which is probably why I have so little success til now...

 

These are the addictions I am going to get through.
1.To much laptop use.
2.gossiping with friends.
3.being dependent on other.
4. Laziness.
5.getting less sleep.

And I am going to replace them with
1.Running and going to gym.
2.waking up early in the morning
3. Studying as I am a student.
4 Meditation

 

If I come to think of it more than two minutes this leads me to another question which I believe could be important:

If I am going to replace 'A' by 'B' what is the connection between 'A' and 'B'?

For me it seems important that I substitute 'A' by some 'B' which provides me with what I am lacking, and which I normally seek to compensate unsuccessfully by doing 'A'.
That being said, it might seem straight-forward and more applicable to substitute 'A's with 'B's, and it might practically work in many cases, but it is a bit dangerous to forget about all that the things we lack and cause our state.

This is no point against try&error, however. In fact I am absolutely clueless why I am idling on the internet, or feel depressive or aggressive in like 88% of all cases. But IMO it would be beneficial to develop a better understanding of my own ifs and hows.
