    hi everyone!
    This past week I experimented with being on the forum less, and in my real world, more. Result was I did a lot more things.

    I said to myself, I would love to get 5% better. Even just that small improvement would really make me happy. And then I realized if I do 5% more, I will likely get somewhere. Lol so that’s what I did! 5% more cooking, walking in my living room, exercising— anything that I avoid I tried to do 5% more. It worked! Probably because it was realistic. (This falls under @BloodMoon’s baby step healing method. https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threa...philosophy-of-kaizen-an-article-a-book.30108/ ).

    I’m studying TMS less, but I almost had the equivalent to a full-time college course over the past year and a half. I think there comes a point where you have to stop reading books and you have to start doing things.
