Using this app incorrectly, oh I am....

So I've been using this app, and I am still adjusting how I want to integrate it with my life. I've already decided on some goals, but the goals I have previously been sharing were work related. I think instead I want these goals here to be my mental health, physical wellness, and other topics related to self improvement. I found another community for my work related goals and such. I will probably still come here when I'm having hard days via work, because it's a new business and my mental health isn't great. I'd rather lay that out here, than the other community. So just getting clear with myself.

I'm also starting to give up weed and going out to clubs. So instead of doing both of those anytime I want. I am choosing to restrict myself in a way that I won't negatively respond to.

Only smoke once a day and when I am out, I'll be out. I won't buy any until I've earned an income in my business.

This isn't really hard in fact I could probably just give it up, but I know when I immediately disrupt coping mechanisms, without having back up ideas/things to do/etc. I don't do a well. So just trying to do my best for myself knowing my own habits, triggers and patterns.

Going out, my rules are I only go to when my significant other is visiting. I can keep enjoying phone lunch dates with I'm as long as I close my card ASAP and I mark my drinks in my app and have a timer for me to get the *** home. Lol cause otherwise I'll sit there for the whole day just talking to people.

Caveat: If I go out I have to call him before I leave, during the night, and when I get home. This is NOT him asking md to do this. This is me in my own attempt to keep myself less tempted to be out all night. The only thing I can imagine is if I get invited unexpectedly to something social. I don't think will be the case right now. I have like 1 IRL friend in this city.

Okay so why these two things specifically?

Me going out is just me trying to fill my own needs of social interaction. I'll replace this with Networking events. I joined a class, but it's once a month. I'll probably join them for dinner this week. I'll have to ask my significant other if he will send me a little cash for it. I've been trying to use Meetup, last time it was a miss and so I didn't have any social interaction that week and I'm just too much of an outgoing person to not have it.

The weed, is me trying to numb myself to the current life stress I have. I don't think it's a bad thing, I do see how it can BECOME a bad aspect ofy life. Just as going out didn't used to be like it has become. It's because I'm trying to get things in unhealthy ways.

So stress management. I am a person who I need to physically work it out of my body. So gym is always good. Running outside. YouTube workout videos. I have to work up to exercising daily. I used to, but it's been years.

Joined a communication class. It's 8 weeks long and starts next week. I also signed up for a mindfulness program on Wednesdays.

Be busy, in a healthy and positive way.

The more things I schedule for myself, the less idle time my sneaky little hands have lol.
