work on a private goal for 30 days

of my 30-day stint were effortless because I was on holidays, so it wasn’t an issue. It’s been a worthwhile and enlightening month. However I’m going to carry on for another 30 days, because there’s still a ways to go, and I’ve made enough progress to want to make more.

Going well. Made the right call yesterday, and feel good for it today.

The first week went pretty well; the second week was very patchy. This week is off to a reasonable start, but I’m heading into crazy-hormone time, which makes everything more difficult. More than half-way there, though, and even if it’s not a resoundingly successful thirty days, the idea was to be conscious of it and make an effort, which I am.

Which is better: to enforce strict self-discipline even if it makes me a bit resentful, or to give myself a break even if it means setting my standards a little lower?

Already feeling a positive difference.

I’m not willing to talk much about this here, but there’s something I want to do which should have physical, mental and emotional benefits. Having it on my list serves as a reminder, as well as a bit of accountability even if nobody knows exactly what I’m talking about. Yesterday was day 1.
