Good day everyone!
It is officially day 2. We are off to a better start. With this 30 day challenge I am embarking on, I have taken to tackling all my other bad habits. Sure, it’s a bit ambitious and any advice column you read will tell you to start off small. Well, I have been taking small steps for a good year now, so I do believe it’s time for some drastic moves so as to initiate some more proactive efficiency.
It will officially be my third day in a row of working out (cheers to this being pathetic to some but monumental for others)! I am sipping on a clean smoothie without added sugars (oooh aahh). I made my bed this morning. The list goes on and on … well, the to-do list goes on and on, and it’s only mid-day so there’s still hope for me!
I’m not here to toot my own horn (well, perhaps just a little), but in any case, I am posting this as evidence that anyone can re-start at any time. I don’t necessarily believe that it is literally “never too late”, because there do exist missed opportunities that cannot be reversed. However, it is never too late to recalibrate your zero. That is what this blog is meant to serve: a public declaration of perpetually resetting that anyone can accomplish, even me.
Too often, I feel, we see others’ endpoints with their accomplishments or failures. In this digital world where most of us seek some sort of inspiration or motivation, perhaps even escapism, it feels as though no one is sharing the trials and tribulations of their journey (at least not until they have reached the end point where they can retrospectively reflect). Maybe I am being a bit pretentious, but so be it. I want to showcase the journey because I have been on mine for quite some time and I don’t believe it will be ending soon. I pray it won’t, but every day that I am granted the privilege of life – if I don’t live more intentionally and mindfully – I fear, as many do, that I will waste this precious time. So, to me, this is my zero, my Level Nula, my way of aligning my daily habits to a more centered position so that I can aspire to more in my life. It’s a timeless dilemma of the human condition in which I am learning to enjoy the process of participating.
