Diet: WIN! (fruit, vegetables, moderate/low added sugar)
Exercise: PASS (walking, miscellaneous other exercise)
Sleep: IMPROVE (some improvement last night)
Mindfulness: IMPROVE
Love and Support: WIN! (visiting friends, corresponding with family, helping move kung fu)
In Fallout 4, there are various drugs (usually called "chems") that you can take for short-term bonuses, like being able to do more damage, resist damage, or be more charismatic. But every time you take a chem, there's a chance you'll get addicted and suffer side-effects whenever not using the chem.
Well, last week I shot myself up with a whole lot of Fallout 4, and I am definitely addicted. That addiction isn't too terrible right now, but will start to generate negative consequences if not managed. You can already see the dials sliding with two improve ratings.
Luckily, I have a lot of experience now with recovering from these kinds of addictions. Step one is to get the sleep and mindfulness under control. It's a lot easier to be motivated to deal with the world when you are healthy, and that makes it easier to work on useful tasks rather than just chasing the wasteland dragon all day (or giant mutant whale, as the case may be).
The good news is that my diet and socializing have been pretty good, actually, so my mood is fairly stable. Also, I was able to make some improvement even last night for getting my sleep hours back to a useful period of time.
I'm basically one sleep and one meditation away from being healthy again, and that'll help me get things back on track.
To that end, I'm going to work on pushing out the education targets tomorrow. They'll have to be quite modest, but that's okay. Modest victory is still victory, and nothing succeeds like success.
