Have you ever had days like this? I feel motivated yet so clueless. I have so many ideas I am working on yet I feel like I am stuck in the same rut. I am feeling restless about the present while feeling calm about the future. I might be going crazy but I am not too sure. Anyway, Had to write it down somewhere, so I did.
2019 Chapter XII Section 26
Well, that didn’t stick. I tried to be regular, I even have a few in draft but somehow never published them. Since, the last time I penned down my thoughts here, I have made one tiny change in my life, I started a 100 days of movement challenge. It’s simple. Everyday I have to move; be it high intensity workout or just walking inside my room. I had started doing that sometime in the middle of October but wasn’t really recording it anywhere, so one day decided to make it more public and now I post on Instagram everyday. Well, the progress hasn’t been much to see; as a friend pointed out “stop uploading the same picture everyday”; but I feel like I have definitely become a lot more active. There was a bit of time in between when I did fall sick, but I didn’t let it slow me down. I have also started a 3 month journey of IF (18-6) and Keto.
Anyway, I will let this be for today. I have a few more thoughts coming up soon. Till then…
2019 Chapter I Section I
Guess who’s back?
Yes, it has been a long slumber. I mean a bit too long but I am back and I plan to stick to writing my thoughts every day. I know it sounds like a new year’s resolution but it is not. It is more like finding a personal outlet that I needed for a while. Also, I miss writing.
2018 was rather exciting. I think my instagram post sums it all up, so I am going to just copy and paste it here.
Always expect the unexpected, that’s how my 2018 was. It was a wild ride with many highs and equal amount of lows. When I look back though, each and every day was truly outstanding.
I am a planner, I always like to know what I am doing, where I am going or what’s going to happen next. Call me a control freak, but I like to prepare myself for everything. I always have multiple plans and each of them have back up plans. But, all that went out of the window in 2018. Nothing went as planned. I took more wrong turns than I could keep an account of. Most of the time I didn’t know what awaited in the next turn.
But, all of that led me to meeting some amazing people whom I cherish a lot now. I have made friends that are very dear to me and I cannot imagine my life without them now. I travelled a lot without planning most of it. It was a good year food wise, I ate a lot of incredible food.
I turned 30 and the world didn’t end as prophesied!
I did things I would have never imagined I was even capable of doing. I finally got out of my comfort zone. I know it will sound silly but going to a crowded club and dancing my booty off wasn’t something I ever imagined would be fun. But, somehow I had amazing people around me always making me feel comfortable and protected.
I made my health a priority and my back and teeth thank me for that every single day.
I made a lotttttt of mistakes and learnt to figure out solutions for them. And, for those that had no solutions, I learnt to let go.
The most important thing I learnt in 2018 was to have patience. Have patience with myself, with others and with life. You can give your best and prepare as much as you want to but sometimes things just happen. I learnt to face these situations and deal with them. Of course, I failed to keep the calm at all times. There were so many times when I broke down, cried my eyes out, got angry and smashed things around me, but I learnt to get up and keep the fight going.
2019 is going to be an ambitious year for me, personally and professionally. I have my 100000009 plans ready but I am also ready with the knowledge that none of them might actually work out. Still I am ready. All I ask from the universe is a little kindness.
I wish everyone an amazing 2019, may it be filled with laughter, happiness, good food, good company, amazing books & movies, good health and most of all lots of love! Happy New Year! 😊
