75 Day Hard

Well, I completed 1 day of 75 Day Hard. Haha. So, that is the little failure part of the title. It turns out that starting a program like that when not fully ready will lead to a higher incidence of failure. For a moment, I wondered if I failed because I’m mentally weak; the point of the program is to develop mental toughness. But, I don’t know that I measure mental toughness in the same way. I still want to complete the challenge, but right now, I’m working through some mental, emotional, and physical challenges. Maybe next week, I can see if I will be ready to try again.

Big Success

As for big success, I worked through some mental health challenges very well. I also improved emotionally. While I was working through these challenges, I was present and supportive to my daughter who just celebrated a birthday and my dad, who is in memory care. I also got to spend some time with my oldest daughter.

I consider this a success because when going through mood and emotional shifts, responsibilities sometimes take a back seat to recovery. In this instance, I was able to do both simultaneously. Although, I did take a few days to reduce my responsibilities and chores to rest and work through problems.

Hope

I am hopeful about a new opportunity, and I hope that it materialises. I would like new challenges and to learn new skills.

Week Ahead

This week, instead of scrambling to restart 75 Day Hard, I’m taking time to get back on track. I’m also taking time to work on my physical health. I do want to complete the challenge, but I need to maximise my opportunities for success.

Well, thank you for following along. I hope you have a wonderful day of new opportunities.
