There are three things that I know I should do everyday.
- Workout
- Meditate
- Write
For me, the completion of these three things within a day represent a successful day, in which I can go to sleep happy and without anxiety. I feel this way because each of these three tasks represent parts of my life that i would like to continuously improve on.
If I were to work out everyday I would of course be more fit and my body would look better. The quality of my life would also improve since I would have more energy, be physically stronger and have more confidence.
If I were to meditate everyday, I know that I would be happier as I would be more in touch with my thoughts and emotions.
If I were to write every day I know that I would have a more clear and organised mind since I know that writing help me flesh out ideas and and generate new ones.
The only problem is that I am a terrible procrastinator. I am really good at finding other things to do than the thing that would benefit me the most. I know that this doesn’t make me special, most people are pretty good at procrastinating too. On top of that I’ve pretty much been like this all my life, so at 33 on would think that I should be accustomed to not getting anything done. What's different for me now is my son. He’s 4 months old and light of my life and I really want to be a good example for him. It would break my heart if he were to ever think that it okay to not go after his dreams because his daddy with fine with not going after his. I want this kid to grow up to be someone who takes life by the horns and makes things happen for himself.
What I’ve decided to do to get myself in gear is to share how successful I have been at completing my task every day. So everyday I will write a short post or share a video about how I did the previous day. Nothing fancy, just a status update. My hope is that the steemit community will see what I’m doing and keep me accountable.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you soon.
Peace,
Bernard
