RE: I used to channel surf through life... but I am trying to change that. Has anyone else made any major changes this year?

I stopped drinking, personal challenge for me being a semi-alcoholic. It's been a tough battle so far. Day 13 today. Have Steemit to thank for it, got some really motivation messages from users.

Glad you are finding peace around you. When you get a chance, instead of looking, listen. You will be amazed at how many sounds there are around you. Close your eyes and focus only on the sounds. 20 minutes of this is extremely refreshing.

I have a suggestion for battling the alcohol. If you have other interests that consume your time and that you are very passionate about you will forget about the unhealthy past-time. I have known a few people to do this, they will trade it for something else that gives them joy.

I hope all works out well, it seems like you are headed in the right direction!

Thanks for the advice! I have been spending a lot of my time here on steemit and other crypto sites. My trading also keeps me pretty busy. Thanks so much for the advice!

that is great advice. Its cool to see people looking out for each other and trying to help!

Congratulations! That is awesome! I know it is not hard to break any habit. I am glad you are finding a away to use steemit as a positive distraction and motivation!

Thank you for the advice about listening. I will try. Good luck on day 14 and beyond! You can do it!

Thanks! Appreciate it! I am on a 100 Day challenge, so far I have been very good. lost a good amount of weight too, clearer mind and way more productive. Just struggling sleeping a bit. Let me know what you think of the listening!

Awesome! Keep up the good work. I have faith in you!

Posts like these that makes it easier for me! Thank you!

You should be very proud of yourself! Congratulations on day 13 and stick with the new family here for support. Namaste and love, my friend.
