FALLING OFF THE WAGON

5 years ago

I caught myself complaining about my days. How I feel that I could do more. How I am so not motivated to do the work that I must do.

Those who have been following my work know that this behavior goes against everything I do and talk about.

What does this mean? Simple, I failed. I have fallen into the same person that I did not want to be.

Good thing is that after a long observation I found out what went wrong.

TWO THINGS WENT WRONG: (1) I changed my routine in such a way that some activities have fallen far off. (2) And I gave in to comfort.

 I am a strong lover or believer in routine. No matter how boring it may seem routine is one of the ultimate keys to success.

You get things done no matter what. It helps to build good behavior, habits, and keep consistency. I broke this self-rule by far. 

I stopped running, stopped reading books, and thought audiobooks are easier.n Well audiobooks are amazing when you have read the hard copy first.

I prefer hardcopies, they give me a sense of work whereas audio just gives me a lazy feeling.

I gave in to sexual pleasure and comfort that comes with it. All of these messed up my ultimate daily routine to a point where I felt tired without doing anything of significance.

Today I am writing this because I went back to my routine. It's not easy getting back after falling off the wagon especially with running. Your body will make you payback.

I have learned that it's easy to fall but even if you fall you can rise up again. 

Everybody has something that they want to achieve. You will fall sometimes, forgive yourself, remember your goals, and keep going.
