This is only week one. I had met with a slump. I need to persist. I need to fight the dopamine void.
As of now, I retreat to the down cycle. This is a long run. I should not give up. Tomorrow I will wake up at 5:00 am and exercise again. I will persist.
I had moved to the very high of my life. Now is to move away from the very low.
As long as I exercise, eat right, and sleep well, I should be able to fight this depression and dopamine void.
Stick to the game plan. I know now that my enemy is the dopamine surge and dopamine void. Also, more knowledge will not make me better. I need to take the right action.
At the very basic, I need to exercise 1 hour a day until the end of the year. I should not quit Nicorette. However, I will do IF 16/8 and avoid 3-in-1 coffee. I should eat only one serving of rice per meal. That is the start.
What do I know about this illness? It is a cycle of mania and depression. Therefore my thoughts on mania are almost the opposite of my thoughts when I am depressed. I got to manage that swings.
How do I do that? It has to be through diet, exercise, and sleep.
I shall persist. I was doing well with the exercise. I should maintain the morning routine long enough before I add a new routine.
What worries me is I get depressed when I quit Nicorette. Maybe what I should do is ride through the melancholy and insist on quitting. I bet it will not last forever.
Sleep if I must but I must quit Nicorette.
The depression will last for a month. I must quit Nicorette before the end of this year. That is my goal.
