A new year, new me?
I don’t like the above idea. Now, I don’t mean you can’t set new year resolutions – I am sure they hold deep value. And of course, setting new year resolutions bring in more conviction to fulfill them.
What I mean is, I don’t wait until I new year for resolutions. For me, acting in the moment makes me feel I am out to do something.

The problem is – I start something, it goes well for some days and then I stop it. I hate myself for that.
I lose the sight of the goal I want to achieve. I become dull, not wanting to do anything.
But I don’t blame myself for that either, juggling between a night shift job and then housework, I am left with no energy. Just doing something feels like it will suck the soul out of me.
So, what habit can I take that it is easy for me to build myself while I live my monotonous daily life? How do I motivate myself to do something every day that improves me?
I don’t know yet. I am not there yet.
Some of the things I am trying are:
- Walking for 30 minutes – I aim to walk at least 30 minutes every day. I don’t go to gym but I do bit of stretches when I can.
- Sleeping 12 hours – This is for my stress. I realized that sleep reduces my stress and I feel better throughout the day as well.
- Read books – read a new page of a book every day. I want to gain a new skill as I grow older. I am reading a trading book that will help me. I understand without practice, this skill of no use, but reading trains my mind and one day I will surely practice as well.
> The book I am trying to finish!
- Meditate – at least 10 minutes a day. All the stress releases through my shoulder. I am calmer, more present in the moment. Also I am able to focus more without reacting to things.
- Find a better job – this is a goal I set for myself. As I do not have a work life balance, I am looking for a day job that agrees with my body and also I get time to do other stuff.
I am trying to keep up this routine of mine. It may take some time, but slowly incorporating such changes will discipline me. After all, a battle (or an obstacle) should be first won in the head.
In the Atomic habits book, the author says not to miss two consecutive days of habit practicing. I have taken this to heart. I try not to miss two consecutive days of reading or any other habit that I follow.
If I follow my habits every day, I consider it as a win. So improving is winning I guess.

Thank you!
I am one of those who procrastinate and think that I can do things tomorrow or in another day. But I've learned that life gives no second chances for those who wait for nothing. I appreciate what you wrote and it inspires me to make a habit of completing tasks myself. This serves as a reminder for me to start doing things that I'm setting aside for my sake.
Hoping to read more feom you. Take care always.
Thank you , you take care too :)
