Day 51

Hey Ami 👋
It's another Monday and I'm off to a good start....doing my routines on time.
And I also bagged a mental win..let me explain what I mean.
I started this habit of fasting, yeah?
So today, I would eat by 1pm....but I'm the one serving the food at home...like literally dishing it out!
Talk about mega temptation..
And it started....my mind started coming up with reasons I should eat with the others.
I had a good streak last week...although I had a big X on my habit card yesterday...
The conflict started as I dished out the food....😅
One side: "you can eat...you had a good streak of fasting last week...that's something to celebrate...no?
Other side: "you didn't fast yesterday....do you want to miss two days in a row?....all because you had a good streak?
It was a battle, I tell you....
By the time I was done with dishing out the food, I convinced myself that I would eat (oh no!....she lost the battle)....BUT...
After I freshen up....normally I don't do this.
What happened after? I lost the appetite to eat immediately....a win 🙌.....because I tricked myself.
The thought was, "okay...you can eat...no problem with that...but after you freshen up...I won't stop you....no guilt whatsoever.
Guess what? I don't even feel hungry!
For the past two weeks, fasting has helped me in my self discipline....more than ever.
It's something I want to make a long term habit....and it has a lot of health, spiritual and mental benefits..
That's it about my first win of the week.
Anyhoo...it's day 51.
And I have put down my goals on paper...gotta go work on 'em.
See you later, Ami ✌
I hope and pray that this week turns out better than last week in every area of your life. Keep going, okay? I'm rooting for you.

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
