Setting a goal and accomplishing it has been one of my major problems in life. I don't know if it's only me but seriously, anytime I decide to set a goal, I tend to always end up not accomplishing it.

Perhaps, this might be because I tend not to go back to check or assess the progress of my goals. I think this is the reason I derail and lose focus most of the time and end up not always accomplishing my goals. It seems I need someone to push me for this to happen and I'm grateful for the opportunity given to us by @dreemport to make this a reality.
Seeing the 6weeks dreemport challenge made me so excited because I know I won't fail in accomplishing my goals this time around since I will be closely monitored. I have decided to come all out for this challenge and I hope to accomplish my goals at the end of the challenge, God helping me. Here is my pledge certificate for the challenge.

This challenge is all about completing a simple daily task and giving a cumulative and progressive report weekly about it. This is the first week of this challenge and I'm so happy to tell us all that I completed all my task and did even more. To be honest, I was only able to do this because I know I would be giving a report about it at the end of the week. I just hope this continues though, since we all know that we become what we do constantly.
Here are the list of the simple tasks we were meant to do for this week and how I accomplished them;
5 MINUTES MEDITATION, BREATHING AND PRAYER
source
Even before this challenge, I have never failed to have a quiet time with my Creator every morning. This is something that has become a part of me and so, it was an easy-peasy task for me. Starting my day with God has always made my day a success. Tell me why this shouldn't be part of my day?
I also did lots of breathing exercise this week since it was one of the ways I've been using to improve my breath control in singing. Trust me, this has always helped me. You should give it a try, don't you think?
DRINK 32OZ OF WATER
source
To be honest, if you are in my country right now, you will end up drinking even more than 32oz of water everyday. The heat is just too much and it tends to make a person drink water non stop.
So this wasn't a really difficult task to accomplish since I don't want to get dehydrated because of the heat. I have heard too many times how important drinking of water is and I have always tried to drink enough water because of my health.
20MINS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
source
I think when it comes to this, I am very lazy. I hate any activity that's physical, but sadly, there is no way I can do away with this since most of my daily activities are physical.
For the sake of this challenge, I decided to take a walk to a friend's place on Monday which on a norm, I wouldn't have done. It took me approximately 30mins to get to his place and when I was done with him, I decided to also walk back home.
On Tuesday through Thursday, I made sure I did some early morning exercises and warm ups and then on Friday, I played some football. I think this is physical enough, right?
15MINS TOWARDS PERSONAL GOAL
source
At the beginning of the week, I had set a goal to make sure I get enough rest and recuperate since the past few weeks have been so stressful for me. My sister's marriage was last 2 week and I really stressed myself out just to make sure it was a success. Likewise last week, I had to travel for more than 7hours for a burial of a Christian brother which made me so tired.
I barely left the house this week since I wanted to recuperate and I think currently, I'm better than before. That's just the power of rest. I would advice we do this once in a while, it will really help improve our health.
OTHERS
I actually did more research this week more than I have ever done in the past weeks. Guess it was because I had more time to myself and really needed to know more about meditation and yoga. Did I tell us the meditation helped me a lot? It actually did.. I would advice we meditate everyday even if its once a day.
Here is my weekly progress report.
THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK
The question of the week is all about the goals/gifts/abilities/talents I'm yet to develop due to my procrastination. I thought about this severally, but I couldn't come up with anything else except how to improve my singing abilities.
source
I am a singer and I love to sing a lot but most times, I feel I am not using that talent like I should. I feel I really need to train my voice to become better than it used to be. Everytime I decide to fully start up a vocal warm up, I tend to end up not completing it. Thanks to this challenge, I'm now determined to work on this for the next 6weeks.
I have downloaded so many vocal warm up videos from YouTube to help me in doing this, and I hope to use them daily to better off my singing abilities.
It has been a very interesting week and all thanks to @dreemport who made it possible. I hope I accomplish this in 6weeks.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Singing will be good for you, try and harness that potential in you and you will do great
Sure.. I know that.. Guess I'm just being so lazy about it
I hope you manage to work in your talent to sing. Good luck!

Another awesome post @davidbright, excellent subject matter too lol.
Just for your information (hahaha, disclaimer: amusement purposes only) Ludicris shows you how to properly "warm up" prior to singing...
Suggested corrections:
"I would advice we do this once in a while, it will really help improve our health." that should be "advise" David...I would advise you to listen to this advice lol, prime example for you and the distiction...
"I thought about this severally, but I couldn't come up with anything else" did you mean "severely?" as in studied it hard with careful attention?
This post was obtained through Dreemport.
😂 😂 😂 😂... That video got to me.. 😂.. Thanks for sharing..
For the correction, this is the first time I'm coming across advise used in such manner. I've always known it to be advice. Guess I will have to do a research about it...
Thanks all the same.. I appreciate
Advise is a verb, to advise someone of your advice (advice is a noun), as in a piece of advice; let me give you a piece of advice or some advice; it is used as a noun! Research away hahahaha, then go practice warming up for your singing lol!!! Video or it didn't happen hahahahahaha!
Thanks so much for this.. I'll definitely put this to heart..
I'm already practicing my warm ups.. Its happening.
We both in the same boat here but then dreemport is sure helping with this challenge.
Yeah @davidbright I'm sure this time you will do well on your singing goal.
Thanks so much... I'm so grateful and can't wait to achieve these goals, all thanks to @dreemport
Gosh, the heat last week was just too much.... Lol. So, you too had been on the road for almost the whole of last month... Same here.... Last week I spent everyday recuperating, and I loved every minute of it.
Singing? Does that mean we will get a video of you singing in subsequent weeks of the challenge? 🌝
I'm a shy type... I doubt I'll be able to send in a video though.. I will see what I can do... Working on myself already...
Thanks for your feedback dearie
Hehehe... Here we go... Lol.. anyhow then, we'll see.
Sure.. Time will tell... 😂
