Guess What Happened Today...



I woke up to a really great day today! I'll try to explain...
Today being a Friday meant I was, at this point, not really looking forward to running this morning being that by this time my body was worn out from the week's work. However, I had no choice but to push myself. I got to the track and started rather slowly telling myself to just take it easy and then get it over with. Minutes into the run I realized I felt a lot better and had this new burst of energy. In no time, it was all over and in record time too. 

Could it be that the times we are tired, worn out and demotivated are actually the defining moments, when we are weak and unwilling, could those times be the moment where real molding and transformation occurs? Could it just be that the biggest struggle isn't with the task ahead but with the decision to "just do it" to just go ahead and face the task ahead. I learned today that not only must I start regardless of how I feel, but I must also finish and finish strong. 

Running for me is no longer a form of exercise but a lot of things now... therapy, meditation, reflection and all these feelings are new each time I get on the track. Today was remarkable, extra special. When I was done, my head was full of all these thoughts and ideas, solutions, a new drive, this new energy and direction. 

One of the wave of  thoughts I had was the urgent need to make the best use of the rest of the time left in 2017, to get the things I set out to achieve at the beginning of the year. I was weighed down for some weeks when it seemed like I wasn't getting anywhere after so much effort invested in various projects for the year with no positive outcome. I decided to apply this new knowledge and first hand experience of consistency in the little things. When I got home I designed my game plan (however small) and just basically decided to face it squarely till the end of the year. Talk about finishing strong.

Here's a picture of how I intend to make sure I'm accountable to the little pieces of thread that will eventually come together to produce the fabric of my success. I am motivated. I'll really take a lot of pleasure checking the boxes with all these colorful pens. I've hopped on the ride in earnest anticipation of where this will take me..

Food For Thought Maybe....

These are just some thoughts... random thoughts I'd like to just put out there. They actually stem from my experience running everyday, five times a week for about two months plus. To start with, I realized the attention I used to get from passerby's were really distracting and it took a  lot out of me just trying to stay focused needless to say I was really self conscious. The long stares, slight chuckles, strange glares the finger pointing, the picture taking.. with all these going on one would thing I was doing more than just jogging/running. This was really a problem to say the least and it bothered me quite a lot but beneath all these I found the opportunity to practice " FOCUS (ing )". Believe it or not I literarily felt drained each time I exchanged glances with people passing by and would struggle for a bit fighting back a myriad of thoughts (why, what are they looking at I'm only jogging) that would flood my head for a bit as I re-gain my focus.

Current Situation... The Struggle.

Sadness, moodiness and unease are all I have been stewing in lately. I usually feel this way when I I'm not really doing what I am supposed to be doing. By this I mean whenever I am not taking maximum action on my dreams and goals, basically when I'm doing nothing to get me closer to where I want to be. It depresses me to say the least. The only thing I have been able to keep consistent is- running every morning, as I try to build up my endurance and that's basically it! whilst the other little things suffer at the hand of my over compulsive addiction to Instagram. Things became a little more gloomy when I realized it was nearing mid October and I barely have enough time to accomplish what I set out to achieve this year. Which brings me to the fact that I haven't even shared my long-term and short-term goals.  My goals are really simple, nothing far fetched. In the long term, I would like to fully start learning Yoga on a professional level, travel for an inte...

The Journey...

I have always been one to be extremely excited about new things, be it new beginnings, projects, or otherwise. That goes without saying that I'm super excited about this space, this opportunity to just express myself, but most especially, try to document my feelings through the process of me chasing my dreams in a simple but interesting way. The biggest reward will hopefully be being able to look back and see how far I have come and hopefully inspire someone, or just put out stuff that will hopefully be inspiring. I intend to share my dreams (they aren't astronomic *laughs*)  through texts, pictures videos and audio. That reminds me... I have to buy a new camera *giggles* I have so much to say, and I can't wait to get started. They say the " j ourney of a thousand miles begins with a single st ep..." well, here's my story, my journey, my Dreams, Goals and Aspirations beginning right here right now. 💖
