To Build Momentum

8:46pm, Monday
Memorial Day

Posting this on a Monday rather than a Saturday. Also uploading the video tonight rather than on a Sunday. I’m being a bit more forgiving in regards to timing this week since I’ve been working myself pretty hard with the day job, home stuff, as well as working towards professional and personal goals.

It’s the end of a 3-day weekend I was very much looking forward to last week and it pretty much turned out the way I had expected it to be give or take a couple of unexpected things. For the most part I got a hell of a lot accomplished the past week. At the same time it doesn’t feel like I have enough time for all of what I had planned.

There is never enough time for everything I want to do. That’s the rub. And I’m going to just have to be fine with that.

I fit in as much as I could within a day, a week, a month, and so on and so forth. That's all I can do.

My focus is getting narrower, which is what I am actually aiming for at this point in my life. I need to have the blinders on and just focus on my top goals and what I need to do to get those completed/accomplished.

Which brings me back to my weekly checklist that I have been doing since the beginning of the year.

What did I get done the past week?

Everything.

Yep. I got everything on my list checked off.

Not absolutely perfect, frequency-wise, BUT, I got to do every single aspect that I deemed is important in order to keep myself balanced.

So the past week, I wrote a blog post, journaled, worked out, kept my diet healthy, meditated, drew, and had a bit of leisure time to spare. Not too bad, considering I have been working longer hours, maintaining a very busy household, and doing additional tasks that I have not even mentioned here and on the video updates.

I didn’t realize I managed to get all of this done until today.

This is why I started to keep track of my weekly progress. It’s quite easy to forget about all the little things you do daily to advance your goals and just keep moving forward. It’s important to pause and acknowledge these things and give yourself credit in order to gain more confidence and build that momentum.

Because even when you think you’ve not done enough, it turns out you’ve done plenty.

Until next week.

Be Well,
