Hello there,
When I found out I’ve been suffering from MADD, I realized why I’m so weak. My daydreaming causes me to skip meals and sleep less. And I often fantasize about doing one arm pull ups one day, which doesn’t get me any closer to my goals in reality. Lately, I have been working out consistently. What keeps me motivated is that I allow myself to indulge in daydreaming, without guilt, during my training session. So basically, I set a timer and pace back and forth in my room while listening to music and daydreaming, and intensely conversing with myself. And when my timer goes off, I drop down and do some push ups or pull ups.
Is this healthy? Am I feeding my addiction ? Is it a bad thing to indulge without guilt ? Thank you

Hey if its the daydreaming side yeah I can relate to feeding it in a way if I have a busy day and its out of control I will daydream in between what I am meant to do and try to release my need to daydream. Its like I think to myself I will get things done all I have to do is give into it and maybe it won't bother me for the rest of my day. sam has a goal thread for every month you can put down goals for as long as you want and feel like it will work for you and you can update and get support from us here. |

Thank you I use MD for exercise too. I listen to music and step back and fourth on a spot. After 2 minutes my heartbeat doubles after 15 minutes my body overheats and I need to take off extra layers of clothes after 3-4 hours the joints in my legs start getting sore and if I go more than 7 hours then afterwards my legs and feet are in pain. But I'm more fit and weigh less because I do this regularly. Once I took a blood test for good cholesterol you get when you exercise. The dietitian said in normal people it normally only gets up to 1 but my level of it was 1.5. |

As long as you're able to pay enough attention to your exercise that you aren't in danger of hurting yourself by doing something incorrectly, its fine if you use your daydreaming as a motivator. A lot of the exercise I do is while daydreaming, but I'm just using a treadmill, so I'm in less danger of hurting myself than I would be if I were using machines with weights or whatever (I don't even know what they're called, I haven't been around them since middle school PE lol).
