    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    My withdrawal symptoms are getting worse, insomnia, lack of appetite, anxiety, and emotional instability. The worst part is that I don't believe the drug is out of my system yet. It takes 5 days from my last dose to be in complete withdrawal. I expect things to get worse and if so need to get on...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    Log update: The last few days have been bad for me. I am currently tapering off my antidepressant and for the past 2-3 days I've been living like a zombie. I would be too tired to do much of anything because of how sedated and numb I felt. I am on mirtazapine, the lower the dose you take the...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    Thank you for the reply, that's a great goal to have, I hope you succeed in that industry. I recently did a genetic test to enhance my health and while it was very useful it fell short of what I hoped for. They would target specific genes and tell you how good your body is in certain areas. how...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    I had a small stomach upset yesterday that made me lose half of my day today. This is annoying but not a big deal. We learn and improve. I've been working on my health goals a lot this week: routines, diet, and sleep. The more I reflect on my inner game, the more I can see that my prior health...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    Today was an okay day. I woke up early, did some good things at work, and respected my diet. The new diet is slowly but surely giving me more energy. I feel in a bad mood today, probably because I am stopping my antidepressant. Don't want to share too much or else this post will just be about...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    I will try to be more consistent in my posting. My problem is that I lack the energy to post when I mess up my health or when things get stressful. I will aim to be more consistent and see how the next few weeks play out. Today was good. Even though I went to the day game yesterday, I still had...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    A lot has happened since the last time I posted. I had a coaching call with Ravi to assess my situation, and we concluded that since I struggle to feel vulnerable around women, I need to focus more on my inner game. Because of the holidays, street volume and hinge matches are down so shifting...

    A lot has happened since my last post that deserves to be reflected upon. 1- Coaching call with Kai: -Cardio routine: 3 times a week 20min cardio in the morning followed by a basic stretching routine. Don't go hard on workouts, we're just building the habit for now. Do different exercises like...

    Chronicles of Ascent: Path Towards Greatness

    You are right. It's hard not to be negative when faced with something overwhelming, but at the end of the day, self-improvement is about Successes, Failures, and learning. We had a powerful call today on CMU, we are dealing with our wounds and healing slowly but surely. There's a lot to do so...
