Stuck in a loop

I was there for 10+ years.

I did everything one could do to work around it and I could type all that shit but here is what it came down to -

I decided I wanted to be powerful as a man.

I put my thoughts and actions into 2 categories. Weak and powerful. Thoughts and actions that distracted me from my purpose and goals went into the weak category. Thoughts and actions that furthered my goals or were deemed positive and healthy went into the powerful category.

Life is not black and white and this isn’t a perfect system. I think you probably know which category the activities you listed fall into.

I like Rollos definition of power - true power is the degree to which we have control over our own lives.

imo best way to break a habit is to start a new better habit or to change ur environment. exercising willpower is good but slip up once and it's back to square one.

what is your mission? what is your purpose?

I Read Atomic Habit

Read “Atomic Habits” and “The Power Of Habits” and reprogram yourself.

The first step is understanding the mechanism of your loops. So read. It’s que, habit and reward. You’re going to need to train yourself like a fresh born puppy. Training humans and dogs are no different.

Same tech I trained my dog are the same for the women in my life and myself.
