Keeping things constantly going is undeniably the hardest task to do. Oftentimes, we tend to be inconsistent because we focus more on possible outcomes than on keeping the process going. So most of the time, only a few out of many goals are being achieved.
Ever since I started this health goal a week ago, I have kept in mind that I want to be consistent in this regard this time. There were a lot of goals I set but always failed to pursue them all due to inconsistency. As mentioned in my previous article, the problem with me is that I am only consistent at the beginning, but eventually back to missing track once I get distracted or become lazy for some irrational reason.
Each morning, I would set my mind to stay positive so that my day would end up positive. I once learned from @Princessbusayo about making positive affirmations first thing in the morning. This, indeed, helps to keep our minds positive once we start our day with positive affirmations. I recently read Ruffa's sentiment about having difficulty thinking about what to write and not getting daydreams anymore. Why don't you give your mind a break and just think positively instead? The more we pressure ourselves, the harder it is to accomplish what we truly want to do in a day.
Positive! It's easier said than done, but we should really put our mindset into it. This also starts with making a smile rather than a frown at the thought of getting a toxic job ahead. This has been my morning routine, and I could say that it is working. And instead of cramming too much on my plate, I'm considering which tasks to tackle first. From the most important to the least important. Blogging isn't on the top. More things are necessary than this.
Getting back to a healthy lifestyle is a bit of a struggle, especially when my body needs more sleep than stretching. Just this morning, I thought of sleeping more than doing my morning meditation. Yet, I shooed that thought away from my mind, and I got up to continue what I started on the first day of this week. Religiously, that is how we should take things we want to pursue.
One, two, three days, and forward. We shouldn't stop just because we accomplished something in one, two, or three days or more. Bear in mind that success doesn't grow overnight, stairs don't have just one step, and getting to the end of the tunnel needs ample time to traverse it cautiously. The days run in 24 hours, not just a moment. The weeks have 7 days to deal with.
I somehow realized, after a week of doing positives and ignoring negatives, that I missed a lot of important things because I often dealt with and worried about unnecessary ones. The people that make my mind toxic, the future that I shouldn't worry much about, the exhausting job that I should be grateful for, and the life that I should enjoy instead of being concerned about what tomorrow holds or if my goals will be achieved or not.
Nothing will be achieved if we keep worrying about the possible negative outcome. We shouldn't think about the what ifs, but rather think about what we can do more of. The world is so huge that we shouldn't just stay in one place or focus on one thing. We shouldn't limit ourselves as we can do more. We just have to learn how to unleash that ability sleeping deep within.
"Go for gold," as the adage says. And we shouldn't let the bad past ruin what is supposed to be a brighter tomorrow. There is always room for change and learning from the mistakes of the past. If people won't believe you, then just believe in yourself. Change is the only constant thing in this world that we should always acknowledge. We should keep going and doing what we think is right until we see the result that we aim for.
Don't stop! Keep going. The world doesn't stop revolving and evolving, and so should we, for a better version of ourselves.
Just dropping you some thoughts to ponder. Happy weekend.
