New year, new me has never really worked for me. Or maybe it has.
At least this year, me and Ruta tackled the monthly challenges to get into habit and keeping it as consistent as the life allows it.
March has been a bit of a challenge. I have had 55% consistency rate for my set challenges - steps, daily yoga, no spend days and other things. That obviously is better than not having any consistency, but not as good as February was - at 76%. And January (the set 5 things) - at 100%. So that is the new year, new me curse, - the first few weeks you are so focused and motivated and being on top of everything that needs to be done, and after few weeks, months the motivation and consistency dies down. Little sad.
So let's see what happened in March.
Wins - paying off the Halifax card, no more debt for me! Well done on daily steps, reading a book, study, fasting and colouring (even though the end of the month seems like a disaster :D)
Proud - finding new venues and contacts for work events, trying out different gyms (Urbn, Challenger)
Memories - lots of outings (unfortunately most involving drinks) - POPP day out and women's day at Thirsty Barber, Valletta with Valters, Chapels lunch with work colleagues, Brewhouse St Patricks with work colleagues, movie night with Aleks, St Patricks in St Julians, Sunday Funday with Valters, Drum n Bass in Hideout with Aleks
Grateful - Nikolett for taking me as a model for beauty course, mom and brother' help in paying the debt, and Ruta for always being supportive
Lessons learned - that is a good question. what have I learned, good or bad from the actions I did this month. Daily journaling might help answer this question.
Unfinished - 50% or less on these challenges - daily yoga, no spend, no alcohol, no sugary snacks.
Improve next month - continue focused approach on basic areas of Physical, Social and Self-care, in addition to the established steps. Extra attention to daily activity, daily self-care and nutrition (mainly fasting, but avoiding sugary snacks).
April goals
Physical - FitOn body weight (plus kettlebells), TRX workouts (open day gyms)
Social - stay in touch with friends and family, even if it is a quick text (but better a phone call)
Self love - read, meditate and write gratitude journal :)
