What Have You Let Go On Your Journey?

[Psychonaut]

I'm interested in what people have stopped doing on their self improvement journey? You can also include what you started doing, but my list of dropped things is much larger ;-). I wonder what the ratio of stopped vs started habits is for other people.

 

Here is my "I dropped it" list:

- About 10 years ago my parents got rid of our TV

- When facebook was new and cool I never made an account because I thought it's kinda dumb

- A few years ago I stopped watching most of the TV series I watched online. The only series I still watch is Southpark

- About 4 years ago I completely stopped watching news. I stopped reading about it, watching or listening to it

- A few months ago I heavily cut down on the amount of videos I watch on youtube. I hardly ever watch a video directly. What I'll do is add it to one of my watchlists. I have a list for self improvement, one for entertainment and one for music. If I want to watch something I only watch it from my watchlists. The good thing about this is that sometimes I remove videos from my watchlists and don't watch them at all. I find this strategy helps me not watching video after video for hours.

- A week ago I stopped watching porn and masturbating #nofap

 

"I picked it up" list:

- Started swimming about 2 years ago. This is the first sport I really enjoy, so happy.

- I have been meditating for a month every day

- Have been on a vegetarian diet for 3 weeks

I have been gradually adding and dropping habits but the most noteworthy is that I recently started transitioning to a plant-based vegan diet.

Most significant was to letting go off toxic "friends" ...and weed.
