Falling Off and Getting Back On

I’m on a mission to not stick it out, all the way through.

Well, I was… but it didn’t quite workout.

The day after returning from Montana, on October 5th, I started another month of leveling up.

It’s a personal challenge to stay consistent, get focused, gain some clarity and build some momentum.

Which basically just means doing a few things, everyday, for a certain amount of time.

This time it was about three and a half weeks from returning home to Halloween… a bit shorter than the last time I tried to go for a whole month.

I was doing well, everyday crossing off: Meditate, Drink my 2L Camelback, Read, Journal, Publish, Sweat.

Then Madison and I went to Houston.

FOR ONE NIGHT.

And I missed Saturday. I only checked off 2/5.

And Sunday I checked off none.

Last time I failed I was pretty beat down about it.

I failed twice.

Once 14 days in and next 28 days in.

But this time, I’m not feeling too bad about it.

I chose to prioritize some other actions over the chosen actions. It was a choice.

And now, Monday, I’ve checked off all five, again.

I’ll finish out the rest of the time fully (only like 4 more days) and I’ll feel accomplished.

This time around I didn’t have as many breakthroughs. No real eye-opening realizations. But I read two books, stopped doing somethings, started doing some others and I feel more balanced going into the rest of the year.

I’m cool with it.
