Hab geschafft einige streaks weiter aufrecht zu erhalten, aber diet und journaling waren Heute schwierig einzuhalten. Fast hätte ich gar nichts gemacht. Jetzt bin ich aber stolz meditiert und Yoga zu machen

[drvn30]

War heute bei Alex. Habe diet und accountability Verkackt. Geht morgen weiter

[drvn30]

Failed because of screen time 🙄 will put a more prominent widget on my Home Screen tomorrow and continue 💪

Heute war nicht einfach. Morgens musste ich um 8 Uhr raus und musste die gesamte Routine auf heute Abend verschieben.

Aber yeah, ein guter erster Tag

Intention

My intention with the DRVN 30 Journey is to prove to myself, that I can take the challenge and to experience what it's like to commit with a community for future reference and present growth.

These are the rules:

1. Daily Exercise 🏋🏽

Rule: 30 minutes

Goal: Anything that moves your body and gets your blood flowing.

Examples: Weightlifting, yoga, running, active recovery like stretching, Tai Chi, etc.

2. Mindfulness 🧘🏽

Rule: 15 minutes

Goal: Anything that helps you connect with your body, mind & spirit.

Examples: Meditation (guided or unguided), visualization, breathwork, hypnosis, sitting in silence etc.

3. Journaling 📝

Rule: 10 minutes (digital or physical writing)

Goal: Self-reflect or get your thoughts out of your head.

Examples: Gratitude journaling, mental vomit (write down whatever thoughts you have), write down your goals, self-inquiry (see "Resources" tab for PDF) etc.

4. Diet 🥗

Rule: Follow a generally healthy, whole-food diet.

If you're not sure whether something is good, don't have it.

No alcohol, no junk food, no cheat meals etc.

Examples: Whole-food, minimally or unprocessed, Paleo, Keto, Plant-based, etc. 

5. Screen Time 📵

Rules:

#1 No media consumption for the first & last hour of your day.

#2 No more than 2 hours of media consumption per day.

What counts as media: entertainment, music, social media scrolling, podcasts (even if it's "productive") etc.

Exceptions: 

Utility apps like meditation apps, workout apps, google maps, logistical text messages.

If your work requires you to.

Your screen time can be over 2 hours a day if you used it for utilities or work, but specific apps can't be over 2 hours (e.g. YouTube, Spotify, Chrome etc.).

Tips:

Set an alarm for the evenings to turn off your phone.

Install social media blocking apps (see "Resources" tab).

6. Accountability check-in ✅

Rule: 

Option 1: Check in with a friend who's joining the challenge at the end of the day via text. Ask them "What did you do today to complete everything?", 

optionally ask for proof (screen shots etc.).

Option 2: Post your daily progress publicly on social media, for example, a screenshot of your habit tracker on Instagram stories. 

Make sure you include what day it is and use the hashtag #DRVN30. 

Goal: Stay accountable through positive peer pressure.

Tips: Set an alarm near the end of the day so you don't forget to check-in.

This is how I intend to include it in the 30 Days starting February 1st, on a weekly basis:

This leads to a 90 min Morning Routine and a 70 min Evening Routine.

Morning Routine

Meditation after Waking up

Exercise after Meditation (Run / Yoga)

Breakfast after Exercise

Morning Journaling after Breakfast, including a Gratefulness portion and a Planning portion of the day

Evening Routine

Exercise (Gym / Jeet Kune Do)

Meditate after Exercise

Dinner after Meditation

Evening Journal after Dinner, including Accomplishments and reflection of the day.

It is rather fitting, that I'm in the midsts of finishing Atomic Habits by James Clear so this shall be a great test if I have really embraced the information given in this book. Also, I have been doing all of these things somewhat regularly the past few weeks so I am looking forward to dedicate to them in a more structure manner.

My intention here would be to document the meditation sessions with the insight timer app, log my workouts with the Runtastic app or taking photos of the gym or my dojo, taking photos of the breakfast and an evening screenshot of my screentime and share my journal entries.

I'm really looking forward to this and can't wait to start.
