"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."
I had been contemplating personal development for a while. There was just too much happening. I want to give my all! There were so many transformations that needed to take place!
I have adopted the following habits into my daily routine...
Gym- I have attended the gym 29 days out of 34. My focus in the gym has been weight lifting, alongside biking. These are two new areas for me! The other days, I have either walked 8-10 miles or ran between 5-7K. One day I did both!
Which means... I have achieved 34 days of fitness!
Reading- I read every day for 36 days. Average time of about 70 minutes! One of the days, I fell asleep after reading the notes pages of Sam Walton’s- Made In America book. Does that count?
Here's an article with some takeaways from the eight books that I read: https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/reading-one-book-like-eating-potato-chip-scott
Meditation- I have been meditating (2x 10 minutes a day), in the morning, and just before lunch. I started meditating on the 24th of July, I have missed one morning, as well as a days worth since then.
Waking up (6 am)- I started trying to wake up every day on the 1st of July. I achieved my goal 13 times from the first 15 days. Then I became a little bit complacent... I achieved 21 days out of the first 30. In August, I haven't managed to wake up at 6 am once.
Why?
- My hayfever hasn't been very good during the summer.
- Too many late nights- sleep is so important!
- My phone was kept on mute. Can your alarm still go off? LOL
I really need to dive in deeper and solve this issue!
Overall... Pretty sweet right?
