Something you don't know about me,
I'm really ill-disciplined, hates routine and totally not a morning person. If it's up to me, I'll wake up at 12pm everyday, wake up to a full day of nothing on my schedule, laze on my bed in my messy hair and pyjamas until Deon comes home.
Ok, I'm glad i said that out loud. Because even i am feeling disgusted with that thought right now. Haha!
It doesn't help that all my life, my work schedule never allowed me to a fixed routine!
Ok... enough of justification and excuses for myself already! Haha
I guess growing up is about doing what is right vs what i want. So, I've been trying to wake up earlier and sleep earlier. I have also made a goal to workout and meditate everyday, and journal every alternate day. It's been fun and successful so far for the last 2 weeks!
At the end of the day, whatever the excuses and justifications may be, we are all responsible for our mental and physical health. "If you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone to love you?" I always get so upset and angry when my partner doesn't take care of themselves, because if we want a lifetime of happiness together, if we want to travel the world hand in hand when we are old, we got to start investing in our mental and physical health now.
So setting these goals and adjusting my lifestyle is my way of committing to our future, it is my way of being responsible, it is my way of 'self-love'. We all can strive to be better. But dont forget to also practice self-compassion too! There's no need to blame youself for not following the routine religiously, just set an intention and try again tomorrow.
Do you have a goal or routine that u want to achieve today?
