Yo new week ahead all the best, Keep working grinding, hitting the gym, praying, and taking the steps beter to show up for 15 minutes than not showing up at all.

Hey everybody!, I hope everyone is working hard and doing well and being safe. I’ve been doing well myself with working and hanging out with family and friends, im trying to get back to being active in here but I’ve been doing a lot of the little work behind the scenes, like I just bought me a hat press machine and I have plans to make a brand that sells hats and beanies( for right now) and im just getting the ground running with it and going after my dreams. 2025 has been a weird year for me a multitude of losses and it has definitely been hectic but im persevering and gaining new blessings and knowledge and strength, im grateful for the people around me who are supporting me and keeping me upright on this journey. Keep going after your goals and dreams guys, I’ve been feeling nervous and scared about what if it doesn’t work but im tired of living in that feeling and going after what I want and I will make it happen because I have a dream and a passion to fulfill it. I pray everyone stays healthy and well and I also pray that everyone achieves what they desire and pray over everyone’s happiness because we all deserve the abundance of love and happiness!!

3 things from my own reflections this past week and from coaching my friends through changes they're starting or got forced into. 1) when you remove something from your life (quiting porn/drugs/alcohol etc.) or something is removed from your life (family/friends dies, relationship ends, job fired you) there becomes a new hole in you. simply because of the removal of something that was present not even considering the possible emotional anguish. When this happens your brain wants to fill this hole back in because you're brains thinks 'im incomplete now' which is especially true in cases where the loss hurts causing you to have negative emotions and feel "under the weather". so your brain goes and looks for something to feel better and to fill the hole. your brain judges this off of dopamine. things that feel good right now but aren't long term best are what your brain will jump to (scrolling, drugs, porn, eating, sleeping, etc.) IN ORDER TO BEAT this tendency you have to be very intentional and do things that are worthwhile or at the very least not bad so that your brain doesn't put other bad stuff in its place. this is why quiting addiction is often so difficult. you quit a thing that occupied a large amount of your day, thoughts, and processing power (how do I get my next fix of x) and don't fill the space with something else. so your brain goes back into the addiction because it already knows that will "fill" the hole. when you remove something, something has to replace it. make it something you want. 2) doing things that aren't inheritly bad and recognizing when it's too much there are things that aren't inherently bad or evil in and of themselves. (eg. video games, hanging out with friends, eating desert/candy) but too much of will cause big problems (lack of motivation for other things, not spending enough time making money/working towards your dreams, getting fat or unhealthy). the key is balance. one way to get that balance is to simply reflect every day what did I do that if keep doing will become too much? For example, yesterday I played 1-2 hours of video games. I reflected yesterday evening and noticed that I spent a decent chunk of time playing video games and because of that didn't play today. This way they don't completely preoccupy my mind because I don't always play them.
