Are you weak if you use a habit-tracking app like HabitNow or any habit-tracking app for that matter?

You’re starting from a compromised place.. you’re not operating from the fullest self-control, but instead, impulse.

Something is technically “over you.”

It’s a weakened state, yes.. but it’s process of gaining strength.

It takes an ounce of strength to think or plan and decide- “yeah, this needs to stop.”

The brain is powerful. As long as we are conscious and want the best for our lives, and to not keep living in a “struggle,”

then we are powerful. We are mighty. We are strong.

A person who decides to go to the gym as a thin/lacking muscle/ or even anorexic or disabled person? They are being strong in the sense of taking courage.

They are not just facing pain or impulse, but they’re facing HARD WORK.

That’s brave and admirable. A truly weak person in spirit and mind couldn’t do it.

Are they weak according to the standard? Yes.

They're reclaiming more and more self-control.

I think this sense of weakness or strength is just as hard to stay set on, as *perfection.* ☝️

Not that it’s hard to reach as it goes with perfection… it’s just hard to stay ON that set and level of strength or weakness- it requires movement. Constant choices and interaction with adversity.

A weak person to me is one who accepted failure.
Someone who wasn’t conscious to make the decision.

Someone who’s dead…

Anything else has SOME level of power and energy.. it’s just a matter of how much they will obtain or lose.

It’s like a stock market, but they’re never OUT of the game, until they’re out of the game.

Thats just how I see it.

If you have a habit that it's too strong, you won't lose it just by using an app. I have no idea how this app works, but I don't see the point of it.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

That is understandable.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Even relatable in some cases.

[menina]

Really? I wasn't expecting that.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

An app for all it is, is an external motivator. It wears down.
But the inside motivation remains. Or should remain.

[menina]

I get you. I trust more in the inside motivation.

Using a habit-tracking app like HabitNow or any other habit-tracking app is not a sign of weakness. In fact, using a habit-tracking app can be a helpful tool for individuals who are looking to develop new habits or break old ones. Habit-tracking apps can be especially useful for people who have difficulty remembering to do certain tasks or activities, or for those who are trying to make positive changes in their lives. By setting reminders and tracking progress, these apps can help people stay motivated and accountable as they work towards their goals. Ultimately, the decision to use a habit-tracking app is a personal one and what works for one person may not work for another. However, using a habit-tracking app can be a useful tool for anyone who is looking to make changes in their life and improve their habits.

Amazing explanation/justification. Thanks!

[msc545]

Thank you - I hope it helped you!

Not at all. That's certainly not for everyone, but definitely not weak. Particularly if it improves an area of your life or help overcome an area in which you have challenges.

I am planning to really focus on daily things like regular baths, reading a book or a newspaper, or listening to a podcast episode. Studying etc. The things that I need to do to be fit, both mentally and physically. I do not want to have belly fat lol. I want to be presentable. Always if possible.

I also want to control the amount of TV series I watch. Modern Family kind of serials is very funny, but very addictive too. Then comes my fascination with Cadbury Dairy Milk. I like that very much. I am nearing the end of getting this habit in place permanently. Now I believe internet control will be a new one in the list.

I am keen on adding more necessary things to it for my improvement by noticing what I do when in auto-pilot mode.

[SnowedIn]

Those sound like great personal goals and the apps should help you with that.

[clampfan101]

Having help doesn’t make you weak.

Putting dedication into improving your habits makes you strong.

[Justneedtokno]

Nope there’s nothing wrong with keeping yourself organized

[XXblack88]

I don't know what those are for so I am not sure

[Jamie05rhs]

No. That's actually very smart.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

What do you think is possible with such apps?

[Jamie05rhs]

I have no idea. I've never used one before. I will have to look them up.

[NathanDavis]

what are those?
