If you want to know the challenge I am doing in October, check out my previous post on why I am doing this challenge.
Day 3
Sunday was difficult. Normally, I would go outside and get something to eat. I would treat myself a personal pan pizza, a kebab, a korean food or anything from my food app that I have not tried. Today all I had was a cheap coffee, red rice and noodle. I have not been spending anything since the first day I shopped. This was a foreign experience especially compared to the previous several years. I remembered when I did this but only 10 days during my attempt to replicate vipassana experience. All I did was just meditating, sleep a lot, read a lot and think a lot. Today was no different, that's all I did except I also started working out again. I mean, with little budget I have,entertainment is such a luxury and I have to be creative about it.
My mood was better as I stopped checking twitter. It is also improved as I supplied myself with information on academia life and successful PhD's who still have a life instead the horror of of it. I also supplied myself with advices on how to stop thinking about food, the cryptocurriences to invest, and possible business ventures to try. I think it was a good decision to start changing my life from the financial aspect. Because I started seeing some improvements in my overall days. Pain and struggling can be necessary. Mac
