Has anyone tried this ?

Has anyone tried to got off from the self improvement treadmill for some time by stop binge watching YouTube self improvement videos and just only recording their mood in an app or journal or somewhere and simultaneously apply an specific course worksheets. Even tough YouTube has enormous potential for improving one's life. I am doing this since weeks and here are my mood recording  since 5 days

Success is your ability to integrate contrast, pain, and discomfort. It will bring you plenty of bad moods.
It is also about choosing to become that which you are in resistance, to or choosing to become something else. There is no exact choice and no correct mood in regard to personal development.

As an example if you have a choice between working 60 hours, or missing a big job but seeing your family, both of them bring a certain level of contrast and a potential mood swing, Missing the job might cost you a great client to a competitor, and missing the family you might miss a heartfelt moment and hurt someone's feeling. That mood swing would be a perfectly natural part of life.

@BlueOak Suffering is a part of life.

@Rishabh R I didn't stop on purpose, it kind of happened naturally, because after a while you notice what's being said is always the same stuff over and over. But those videos do have a hidden positive effect: they keep your attention on those topics. If you let yourself go a bit too much, it's easy to fall into "bad habits", or what we might call your "lower self".

But as long as you feel better, go for it. Especially if you are still able to follow an overall plan to actual progress.
