Day 2
Day 2
10/18/2021
It’s going! I am unsure how your self-control is but I am on the treat-yo-self model all day every day so baby steps can be hard. But so far I’m kicking butt!
Before moving forward let’s review last night.
For whatever I will do by the end of the day October 17th:
Clean up the house
Be in bed by 10
EXTRA CREDIT try to meditate to go to bed. Your pretend conversations that you have in your head before going to bed have to wait until morning)
Oh my gosh did I really finish my first checklist?! Am I...an inspiration?!
To myself yes. But alas one checklist comes and another one must be created
Monday, October 18th big day!
Wake up at 6am (first alarm)
I WOKE UP AT 5:45 AM! Miracles do still happen. I did stay in bed until 6:10 am but I am still impressed. From a girl who used to consistently wake up at 5 am it turns out this is a skill and it’s easily lost.
Take Bear on a walk for at least 1 hour
Morning turned out to be only a 40-minute walk. I hit the hour in the evening walk, so I’m still checking off my list.
I’m realizing if I want to be a perfect 60-minute walk I cannot do a perfect loop. Why does this bug me so much?!
^^Great time to romanticize girl! If not now then later!
I didn’t do it in the morning - but I did do it in the evening! I posted my 2nd TikTok ever and it literally took me 45 minutes to make a 15-second video since I had to start over or move because I saw people coming and was too embarrassed to perform infront of them.
Put dirty clothes in the bin
Get to work done - make a fresh to do list at work
Made a fresh to-do list but oh my gosh my productivity in the morning was not as stellar as it could have been. I spent a few moments on TikTok
Cook something for dinner (try your best girl! I’m rooting for you!!)
NOPE. That didn’t happen - but to be fair my Husband got a delicious burrito he didn’t want to eat. I am planning on saving that fro tomorrow!!
EXTRA CREDIT clean up all the cooking you do tonight
Nothing to clean up besides my dinner dish and I still didn’t put it in the dishwasher! So close yet so far. But for the first official day working full time I feel pretty good about myself.

As much as I could celebrate for the rest of the day I have to ask myself - So what’s the plan stan?!

For tomorrow
Wednesday, October 20th
Wake up at 6am (first alarm)
Take Bear on a walk for at least 1 hour

I’m trying to be consistent so I’m really not looking to change much. I mean on official day 1 I didn't even finish everything! So I won’t be changing my list. I don’t know if I should make that a goal as well. For example first 30 days or until I can complete everything on the list. The options are endless and I should make a plan around my plan.mabye tomorrow.
So in conclusion -
Do I feel better about my day? Yes!
Did it feel extra special and amazing by romanticizing the moment…..kind of? I don’t feel like the best thing since sliced bread. But I did feel like I laughed more, was happier with what I got done, and felt a little less anxiety going into the next day.
I don’t feel like a put-together human ready to preach out self-change and self-love. Maybe that will never happen. Either way, I had a good day and that is my goal.
I am in charge of my own happiness and I decide every day will have a little good.
Wish me luck tomorrow!
