After ten years im still here fighting the fight

Hi stuart glad u post......  some opinion on my diary very good....... Today i woke and looked at resale prices of my digital ps...... they should go up next week and i briefly thought about getting a switch two again to play with my nephews again......however ive thought about it and im soo lucky to have both of the current gen consoles and friends of mine cant afford them and struggle each month..... so for that im thankful to be blessed to be able to of afford the consoles and games i have...... im gonna stick with the plan of not spending anything in 2026 on gaming..... i hope even with my impulsiveness i can achieve this.......

So hopefully cash price at cex will go up monday for ps consoles and ill sell easiuly for no hassle.....

Very glad my decisions work themselves out......all be it alot im going back on my decisions to rectify so im hoping i can be a bit more patient and not be rash in the future.

Today i had a nice lie in on day 1 of 10 holiday days........boy that sounds nice...... ill get lots of rest.....eat well..... exercise........health suite.......box sets........ films,........ gaming........see family......see friends....... and above all have a break from thinking about work even tho im blessed with a low stress job....

Managed to set up my bedroom tv and google nest on google home today on neew wifi so pleased ive got everything running now.

Golf tomo should be good for steps......

hoping for no rain......

Another fantastic day then mate. Hope you break 100 tomorrow. I've still not played since November and can't even remember if I broke 80 or not. I've not reinstalled my igolf app with all my scores. Will go back to golf again sometime and will be interesting to see what it's like in recovery. Ive only ever played golf as a gambler 

Well had a very late night last night....... Transfered all my games from external drive to console and factory reset original ps in prep to sell...... Then stupidly thought about buying a switch two again ....  I bought one online then realized the mistake and got refund.....I'm full of impulsiveness still

Now I'm very thankful for the consoles I have And don't need switch two......the money from selling console will go straight into saVings.

Woke up and hasn't had much sleep but thankfully I played a great round of golf today loved it.

Second day of holiday of ten donee and it was lovely

Now for a nice sleep and lie In

So my third day of 10 holiday over...... woke up after a lovely lye in and spent 2 hours with my mum doing my patio....... looks a lot better already....... will do more tomo.......  

Bought two lego sets as its payday and i felt like it...... got the bumblebee transformers one and the hagrid and harry potter motorbike one....... got good discounts on them and they will look nice on my dvd shelves to go with the rest of my lego collection (mostly star wars and marvel).......

Im fully rested already and ready to go back to work....... but will focus on resting for another week before going back fully fully recharged.......

My aims for this week include gardening, gaming, health suite, gym, shopping, 

I keep thinking of drinking the alcohol in my fridge...... i know ill have a hangover....... but im tempted.... dont know why...... ill give the three cans to a friend this weekend and not buy anymore......

Hi Adam

Have you thought about creating an actions board for the month ahead and tick them off ? Also a visions board for say the next year or two ?

Hi Stuart don't know if you've read my thread from a number of years ago called the secret? I'm a firm believer in it a lot of the most successful people in the world use this secret to achieve more...... U think of what you want to achieve be for me it was my own independence and health ( I lived with my folks, gambled, smoked, drunk and did no exercise) so I made these things my priority for the next four years...... I visualized myself thin, musclely and sitting in my flat and decked out with new furniture watching my dvd collection and Soo happy.......

I did this visualisation every day when I could...... And when you do this visualisation.  The powers a be work wonders to bring it to you...... Also you're actions then fourth work even better towards achieving them 

And you know what eight years later I'm sat here with exactly those aspirations achieved.... The world brought them to me with hard work and a lot of luck....

Now I could set up new things to aspire towards and material things to aim for or weight loss goals.... Or health kicks that I do go thru every year....... But u know what..... IM HAPPY THAT IVE ACHIEVED EVERYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY WANT ....ID RATHER NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL....... AND MY FAMILY IS HEALTHY AT THIS POINT......IF I COULD STAND STILL AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT FOREVER I WOULD 😉

A job list to check off monthly would maybe help but I like life spontaneous...... D I live by life day by day and one days planning is enough for me ....

Very very thankful for what life has bring me...... Are u Stuart? Set ur secret to life now mate.... Write a thread.......what thru hard work would you like the powers at be to bring u????? Anyone else reading this f anyone try to do the same? What above all else would make u complete also open to mods out there reading 😉

Also to note I'm not thin or musclely now lol but healthier that's for sure.......and the secret to the secret for full visualisation is a photo of what u want to achieve to frame for ur desk at work or put on ur fridge at home or above ur bed on a wall so u can look and see yourself with it for a minute each day.....then the powers at be know what to bring u

Hi Adam,

I love this, and that you did this, and that you're right where you want to be. This is so wholesome, and complete credit to all your persistence, determination, growth and the powers that be (can we give the powers that be a name? :)). I am for sure going to really think this through, and give it a go. I've been having lots of singular thoughts running through my mind of things that would bring stillness, calm and achievement - I'll have a go at building a good picture out of them. 

Pleased to hear you're getting some good downtime in at home on your week off and doing things that you want to and enjoy. Hope you have a great rest of your week off.

Fran 🙂

Hi fran thank you sooooo much for popping by...... id really love to see and hear of ur secret aims and the photo u decide to use for visualisation..... keep me posted.

Had two baths today a bit indulgent i know...... someones doing well ey as my friends would say....
