PHYSICAL HEALTH, EXERCISE, JUNK FOOD, NUTRITION, EATING HABITS, SLEEP FOR UPSC ASPIRANTS- SUGGESTIONS, QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION, TRACKING

Well I worked out 6 days continuously. Took a break yesterday. I rewarded myself too much by having a desert extra 2 hours after what should have been my last meal. Night meals are the worst kind of meals. I have this bad habit of eating late night. Should find ways to overcome that! Looking into what mindfulness is and how to practice that. This junk food problem have to stop. The problem boils down to the question we all ask ourselves when we misuse time by binge watching. How do we control temptations?

For post-dinner food temptations, what I do is that I brush and floss after 30-45 minutes of having the meal. It increases the opportunity cost of eating again by having to repeat the whole dental hygiene. So it works that way.

For binge-watching, I am yet to devise anything. However something on a similar line by increasing the opportunity cost works. When I just start to feel like an addict and unable to go away from the screen, I remove the laptop from charging and place the cord away. My laptop dies pretty soon. So, I am left with no option but to get up and plug in the charger. Which kills the joy and gets me away from the screen (for a while at least :P).

It's kind of an online library where people log in and then do their work. This helps in keeping an online company, just like a physical library and attaining their targets and posting the number of hours of study. So it brings in a healthy competition too.


Oh this one ?

I don’t want to wake up, or study or do anything. This happened during mains prep and therefore i messed up mains as well. I have seen therapists but even after months of sessions nothing seem to help. I also took anti-depressants as prescribed but I discontinued as it didn’t seem to lift my mood. 

I am only on my phone and browsing reddit or YouTube. I just don’t know how to come out of this vicious cycle. Any suggestions? 

This is very difficult for me to put down on a public platform. Sorry if it triggers anyone.
