Hi guys! First of all, I want to apologize for being MIA in the last few years. If you are still reading this, I am really thankful for your support :)
I know what y'all are thinking. It was recently new years, so many people are coming up with their new year's resolution. Can't wait for those who fail to do it and laugh at them. Well, this might be foolish of me to say, but I have a feeling this year would be the year I actually get my sh*t together. As I am writing this, I am coughing for the hundredth time today and probably have been sitting at my dorm for as long as I'm comfortable with. One of my 'new year's resolution' or, let's say habit that I want to keep up with my life is working out. I'm surprised myself that I am still keeping up with it even though I feel like death all throughout the day.
I want to share with you guys the change of mindset I had to keep this mindset. Based on a youtube video I watched online, I told myself to do something minimal everyday and keep up with it no matter what. The video I watched recommended 10 minutes of physical exercise everyday and I even reduced it to 5 minutes everyday- which basically started with only 100 bridges everyday. I have been keeping up with this habit for a month now without fail and I'm thankful for myself that I don't feel terrible not working out for at least 30 minutes in the gym because something unexpected like being sick happened. Because the expectation for this daily habit is so low that I am able to do it on the side no matter how busy I was, I do it everyday without fail. It sounds weird but it's more important to build a habit first. Trust me, once you see yourself showing up everyday, during the days when you are more free, you will find yourself doing more than what you originally expected.
