Well, just like when I woke up and cut off all video games for 90 days (along with any porn watching a week later) I woke up today and decided no more youtube watching unless its programming related or to listen to music. I will still allow myself to watch movies occasionally to unwind some of the time but other than that I will be watching out if I start binge watching as a form of escape.
I already feel it in my mind that this is going to be one of the more difficult ones to do. This does also expand to random internet surfing as well. Its something I have to absolutely look up, etc or I don't look it up at all. I'm going to do this for a week then after that if things are still going well I will extend for 3 weeks to make it a month. I already feel it in my mind though. I feel some part of me that has been addicted to this along with random internet surfing almost screeching in the back of my mind of how bored I'm going to be, etc. Funny enough, its that screeching that gives me confirmation that this is the right move and I feel like I will reclaim even more of my willpower to get important things done.
In some of my thinking over the past 2 months I came to realize something. I don't think its political in nature but more philosophical. Where I am , in the US, you constantly hear people chant about their "freedom, freedom, freedom" to ad nauseum but then I realized something. Its nothing but a bunch of addicts chanting about how "free" they are which rings hollow to me. I realize more than ever if your constantly on social media and can't stop yourself to the point it affects your relationships and other responsibilities you aren't free. If you are constantly playing video games and keep saying "one more game" to the point that its only a few hours until you have to be at work or school then you aren't free. If you are constantly allowing things you see on the internet to control you emotionally, you aren't free. If your letting any form of the internet constantly dictate to you emotionally, or any form of it is constantly getting in the way of your responsibilities or bettering your actual real life (not some imaginary life that you perceive online) then you aren't free. This reminds me of a quote I saw a long time ago:
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free" - Goethe
Ironically, as I might have said before, only those that actually have self discipline and self control are actually free. Those that are control by every single emotion or impulse that runs through their mind and body aren't free and are easily controlled. Hence, the more I have gotten rid of these bad habits and addictions that have been zapping my willpower the more will power and control I have felt over my life. Also the more I feel as though I have been actually executing the subliminal instructions. I feel as though this is the last area I need to deal with then I will basically be free to choose to execute even more of the subliminal once this is done with.
I do think if I'm able to go through with this I should also be close to or done with this bachelors after a month. After that it will be just studying to ace the more technical interviews at big tech companies which some of the interviews can be 4 to 6 hours long. Will narrow things down to one programming language so I can focus and be skilled at that one and doing projects in that language. I also decided once I get a remote job at a top company I will probably move up my time line for moving to the EU so I can start getting residency already then move on to citizenship later. I do plan on most likely splitting my time between the EU, morocco and "maybe" South America.
In the meantime I do see myself just continuing to run MLS pretty much one loop a day for almost every day (with maybe a break every 2 weeks) while this process is on going. I will probably only run something else once the new DMSI comes out and that probably won't be for another 2 months at least. So pretty much after my whole detox run is over with. Will probably just keep journaling here more often to share my thoughts and maybe in a way keep myself accountable while this is all going on.
