Day Zero

Today is day one of the rest of my life. I've heard that before and never really took the time to think about it. My time here is fleeting, and I want to do something with it. I feel like I spend everyday of my life waiting for something really exciting to happen. Like I know something is going to happen but I'm not sure what it is. I've been waiting for almost 21 years now and I'm tired of waiting. I'm doing going to do something myself.

Things have changed a lot in the past couple of years for myself, I learned a lot about the world and find myself thinking about the past a lot. I feel like I'm back at the beginning trying to understand who I really am.

To start I want to work on being the person I'd like to be. I want to understand myself as a person and tackle my fears and anxieties. I want to work through my issues and comprehend why I think the way I do. I want to know how much of my mental health is effected by the day to day habits I have. Just to get myself started I created a thirty day challenge with little work goals, fitness goals, self care goals, and mental health goals. Its a total of fourteen things a day that I have to complete. I don't think I'm going to become the person I'd like to be in 30 days, but I needed a starting point. I also need to be held accountable. I have a habit of saying I'll do something, and then I back out whenever I question it. Which has probably taken me away from a lot of opportunities. This is meant to hold me accountable. A series of writings to put out into the world, even if no ones reading I'll still feel held accountable by someone besides myself.

Here's some of the things on my list:

- Wake up at 6:30

-Make the bed

-Meditate

-Yoga

-Eat Breakfast

-Drink a gallon of water

-Spanish lesson

-Write an article

I'm hoping I follow through, I know I'm capable. Today is technically day 0 since I'm starting tomorrow. I did everything on the list today except for waking up early, which I honestly think might be one of the hardest tasks for me. Here's to hoping I thrive!
