I don't feel like I have to write about it every time anymore. the only reason I wrote about this one was because it felt like i was at the choice point again and made a better decision to let go.

Alright after a long day of work ( Manual labor) i find I have urges diffrent than this morning. This morning was "I saw somthing and moved on with my day" this is diffrent. I think after a hard day of work their is a feeling of I earned rest and relaxation and that prompts the urges. Seeing as I fell around this time last time this could have played a role in my last fall. Coupled with the openness of a new schedule.
My plan is to go to learn after work but I am still working out the schedule and wanted to note the urges.

edit: the feeling of i earned some relaxation coupled with the entertaining of the idea of an option to give in is what caused me to fall last time and I still feel it here now.

Looking for advice.
I know people say go for a jog break a sweat but I did that all dsy and don't fancy the idea of sweating more.

What, besides watching, recharges your battery? If you don't know, maybe time to try a few new things.

Every challenge is an opportunity. Every stumbling block is also a steppingstone. Keep climbing.

So relax. What do you enjoy that's not p&m and/or a gateway to that?
A full day of hard work followed by a powerful night seder and exhaustedly crashing into bed is an amazing way to stay clean and out of all sorts of trouble. But it's totally fine to want to chill after work. You know what you enjoy and what types of activities you need to stay away from. I have full confidence that you can pick a good way of relaxing.
