How I did it
How to work out 3x a week
It took me
2 months
It made me
In better shape

How I did it: This one was actually kind of hard for me because my exercise was meant for weight loss originally. I do HIIT that gets fairly intense and recently I've been getting really bad headaches after exercising. I still do lift 2 times a week and do HIIT but I've had to stop doing sprinting after a recent headache that came with other symptoms and was just too excruciating to be worth it. But anyway, just getting into the habit of exercise is… Read how I did it…

How to stop eating junk food
It took me
4 months
It made me
Feel great

How I did it: Some people say to use a step approach, and do it little by little, phasing it out.That didn't work for me. I went cold turkey and just did it. I just stopped eating junk food, and by now I can tell you pretty much all the ingredients in all of my meals without things like labels. I eat apples made of apple. I eat tuna that comes from real fish! There is no corn syrup, food die, or funky names you can't pronounce in my diet!And you know w… Read how I did it…

How to be kind to everyone
It took me
6 months
It made me
Uncertain

How I did it: There are definite ups and downs to doing this. I rated it as worth it, but it's somewhere in limbo on that count.It's hard to be nice to everyone. Some people are just annoying. Some people just do things that are senseless and make you upset. And in the real world, smiling at someone often doesn't mean they're going to smile back.I'm not sure whether it's a virtuous thing or not. However, I do it. I do it because arguing is stupid. I do… Read how I did it…

make more friends
Untitled 10 months ago

Current friends: zero.

It’s hard for me to know how to make friends, especially in the suburbs and not being involved in anything. This is made harder by being socially awkward, and improving that is another one of my “things”.. I want friends but then part of me doesn’t want to make any binding relationships.. I don’t know.. I also don’t know how many people would actually really want to be my friend because my personality is more internal and I probably come off as really boring in person..

learn to play chopin's fantasie impromptu
New 11 months ago

I’m a piano newb. I’ve been doing it for a short month or so. So far I’ve learned a few songs like fur elise and some bach stuff, but nothing anywhere near the level of fantasie impromptu. However, I just love this song. It sounds almost unbelievable that it is coming from just one person on one instrument. I’m a highly self-motivated person so this is not just going to be a short stint on piano, and I hope that within a few years I can play this song and hopefully do it justice.

gain self esteem
Still trying 11 months ago

I still have really bad self esteem. I developed problems with self esteem because of my weight, and now I’ve lost the weight so I don’t have that excuse anymore. I’m just still not good around people though. I don’t have that confidence that is built up by being social all the time. I am hoping to work on this though..
