Finished reading Chapter 1 of the ICND1 textbook and completed all of the review questions for the chapter. Was very difficult to make myself begin reading. My theory is that lately I have been getting my dopamine fixes from "wasteful" activities like binge watching shows and mindlessly browsing Reddit. When attempting to read the book, I found it difficult to focus, as if my mind was complaining to me and saying "dude, what are you doing? let's do something FUN". While struggling to begin the chapter, I would absentmindedly just open my internet browser and stare at the homepage without any intention to visit a particular site. It's that bad. Wouldn't it be great if I could re-wire my brain to get dopamine fixes from being productive instead? That would be something. Anyway, glad I got started. Better late than never. I think the biggest difference with self-studying for this cert and school is the absence of deadlines. Looming deadlines made me get off my butt and complete assignments, sometimes submitting them a mere minute before the cut-off time! It's pure luck that I "graduated" with such good results lol (didn't actually attend the ceremony due to my anxiety...the thought of walking across that stage was frightening to me).
I should also note that I'm feeling "sub tingles" today. Haven't felt them in a long time. Hard to describe what I mean, but sometimes I feel the "energy" from the sub on my body, as if it's "massaging" me in a way. Today i'm feeling it on my left arm and on my back. It's interesting because I haven't actually listened to the sub for a few days now.
