100-Day Journaling Streak: Finding Hope for Spring

This is my 100 day streak. I don’t always journal much, but I do try to make the effort because I know if I miss a day, it’ll be that much easier to miss another. I haven’t shared much publicly as of late. It’s not that I don’t have much going on in my life; it’s just that I’ve been feeling so out of place these last few months. I’m hoping the coming spring’s warm temperatures will make a positive difference. That is, if we have the ideal springtime weather. (It was like it went from winter to summer last year.)

@nemozerosquared spring has really felt shorter and shorter every year. Instead of a season, we get about a week maybe a week and a half of the most ideal weather here in New England. But it sounds almost like you’re tying your happiness to an uncontrollable factor, spring will sprung when it needs to and for as long as necessary. Mother Nature doesn’t care about our preferences

Wow this is awesome

@theonewholistens “spring has really felt shorter and shorter every year. Instead of a season, we get about a week maybe a week and a half of the most ideal weather here in New England.” It was exactly like that last year here in the Midwest. We had maybe a week of warm mid-sixties weather. It was mostly on again/off again rain/frozen rain, cloudy skies and temps still in the 30s until temperatures started reaching 80° and the days became hot and humid seemingly overnight. “But it sounds almost like you’re tying your happiness to an uncontrollable factor, spring will sprung when it needs to and for as long as necessary. Mother Nature doesn’t care about our preferences” The sun isn’t giving me the same amount of vitamin D3 from its ultraviolet light. Vitamin D3 is crucial for immune health. I have an autoimmune disease, so yea; I need the sun, and maybe I need it a little more than the average person. Who knows. You’re absolutely correct: nature couldn’t give a flying fuck about anyone. It’s exclusively indifferent.

@nemozerosquared I couldn’t agree more, need the sun to show up for more than a couple hours

I needed this. I had a streak going that was around this length. Them I had a mishap. I was generally a bit confused at first. I questioned myself. I read the book, The EASY Peasy Way To Quit Porn. I loved the book. I adopted the mindset. No, I thought I did. But I didn't. I still had self doubt. Fast forward, after a mishap I decides to change my approach. I would journal after my mishap to understand why and how to prevent. It is slowly working. I'm getting better little by little. I realized my first few times having streaks only lasted because I didn't do the work. Reading isn't the only way. What helped a lot was that I did a self EMDR session, where I journaled through the video bringing up why I was watching that. I uncovered a lot. But funny enough, it turned out to not be from it, rather it was what I was using it to make me feel. When I realized that I started to get my life on track slowly. This will still be a work in progress. I know people don't take low streak people serious but I know I have it and I can't fully type that with clarity, me being able to admit that is the first step. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day, mid day or night stranger. PS sorry for the grammatical error. I have ADHD so sometimes I type slower than my brain moves. I love how Journaling has really helped me slow down my thinking and mind.

Thank you for your well written reply! ☺️
