Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this “infinite psychology” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started by just, you know, Googling it. I saw some stuff, some videos and I started geting ideas.
My Experiment Begins
First, I picked a simple habit I wanted to work on – drinking more water. Seems easy, right? But I’m terrible at it. I always forget.
- I downloaded a habit tracking app. There are tons of them, so I just grabbed the first one that looked decent.
- I set reminders on my phone. Like, a lot of reminders. Every hour, my phone would buzz, “Drink water!”
- I bought a giant water bottle, the kind that looks like you’re carrying around a small aquarium. The idea was that if it was always in my face, I’d drink more.
The Initial Struggle
For the first few days, it was…annoying. The reminders were driving me nuts. I felt like I was constantly being nagged. And that giant water bottle? I kept knocking it over, spilling water everywhere. I almost gave up. I really almost did!
I stuck to using the reminders for about a week and a half. And there had a day that I forgot my bottle at home!
Turning the Corner
But then, something weird started happening. I started to actually want to drink water. It wasn’t just the reminders. My body started craving it. I started to like it.
I realized that I used to drink so much of other stuff: juices, carbonated drinks, coffee, etc. But I started to feel better when drinking more water.
- I began associating the reminders with feeling good. It was like my brain rewired itself.
- The giant water bottle became less of a burden and more of a…friend? I know, it sounds crazy.
- I even started refilling it without being prompted. I’d just find myself doing it automatically.
The “Infinite” Part (Maybe?)
Now, I don’t know if this is truly “infinite” psychology. But I feel like I’ve cracked some kind of code. It’s like, once you push past that initial resistance, the habit becomes…self-sustaining. I think that’s the key. I think I might even try another habit. Maybe waking up earlier.
I can say that the “infinite psychology” worked and that the small action of keep drinking water made me feel better through the entire process. And I still keep the water bottle with me!
