@Elton  I have also been in this cycle before . What worked for me. You have 4 problems : 

 

So , what worked for me is 

1. Focus on changing one aspect of routine at a time

2. Be clear on why and if you actually want to live this better lifestyle over the current 

3. You have to be prepared for massive resistance to be pulling you in , and you have to be decided that you will make the harder decision which will be the growth 

4.  Make yourself aware of these at the start of every day :   1. be clear on why 2. prepare for massive resistance  and be decided .

My advice as someone who has been having a wild ego backlash, and dealing with #2, #3, #5 somewhat, #10 and #11 is to do completely random things each day for a couple hours. They can be stuff you always wanted to do, or just whatever. The work is just acknowledging how you want it go, then deciding ahead of time to accept however it ends up going. Here’s how that looked for me this morning: I promised myself I would wake up and film myself doing whatever at a lake about 30 minutes from where I am. I was planning to voice over the clips at a later time for youtube. Anyway, I didn’t want to when I got up, I was no longer motivated by the idea I didn’t think it would turn out good, it would be cold outside (25 degrees), it’s a waste of gas and so on. So I decided that it didn’t matter if it turned out good, or if I enjoyed it. I just needed to follow through with what I said, so self trust. I ended up finding a heavy log from a tree in the woods, and just did a few sets of military press and curls with it on camera. The rest of the time I just got footage of nature and of myself, sitting, thinking, walking etc.

Try something like this, plan something today and expect to not want to follow through tomorrow. The idea is that you can build momentum arbitrarily and bypass your subconscious. The less the activity means, or the less you care about it the better. When you’re down the subconscious mind wants meaning but isn’t finding it, switching to a meaningless momentum mindset can do wonders. Repeat daily, perhaps even 21 days of this.

@Infinite Tsukuyomi wow this is something very put of the box and I never came across this suggestion but it sounds good, maybe it has one of those paradoxical effects.

I would like to try this.. 

However I would like to tell all you wonderful people who spared some of their precious time to give me some advice that I have been meditating and doing kriya yoga and going for walks daily for last 3 days...

Thanks a lot for your support..
