Why I suck at the Stylelife Challenge
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2014 6:47 pm
If any of you follow my posts, you will notice that my reports on my experience with the Stylelife Challenge are few and far between. Hell, I haven't made a report on any of them since early August. I have thought about why this is and have narrowed it down to three issues:
1. Suck at time/work management. This has been an issue for me since discovering the game in my Sophomore/Junior year of college (2010-2011). Always tried to pickup early in a semester, then I got busy and locked myself in my dorm to do work, semester ends, I start practicing again, then it got busy and locked myself down in front of books/computer, RINSE & REPEAT! I haven't been able to use this as an excuse much this year because I graduated from college in January. Though I am going back to school for my GIS certification, it does not include as much work as my B.A. Also, I have a part-time job that keeps me busy 7-noon all weekdays...but it is still part time. I feel like I should be less worn out by all this than I am and still be able to do pickup...so I think I suck at organizing myself. Let me know if you guys have suggestion, however I still...
2. Suck at effort and motivation. I am lazy. There. I admit. I am not proud, but it is true. This just isn't hurting my dating life. It hurts me in my diet, workout, guitar practice, school work, even my hygiene on occasion. Honestly, I believe this ties into my above problem. My inconsistent/erratic routines for times of the day. All of these are probably symptoms of a bigger problem though, because I...
3. Suck at seeing value in myself. In a recent post I talked about my therapy session were I realized I do not love myself. I've had some form of depression all my life. At the moment it is mild and I can still function, but I am still depressed. I know that there is no long term fix for this, unfortunately it still hinders me from bettering myself in terms of my love life. Catch 22 I guess (need to read that book).
I tried to go out and do the Day 21 Mission, but the gloomy weather made Day Game pointless. Night game is harder for me now that I have to get up early for work. Got to make my days count. I have thought about going back to do earlier missions because I slacked off for so long. Maybe I should just restart the whole challenge.
Feedback folks?
