This marks the start of my 21-day journey to write every day. I felt the urge to start doing this because I often find myself overwhelmed with too many thoughts each morning, which might be the reason I feel like a procrastinator. My goal is to be random, yet with a sense of consistency and structure. I don't believe I'm the only one in this world who struggles with knowing when to stop thinking and start doing what needs to be done for self-improvement. So, if you feel like you can relate, know that you're not alone, and this could perhaps be your hope to turn this bad habit into a good one.

Firstly, I want to thank Dan Koe, the YouTuber, for giving me this idea. I remember feeling so down one day because I wasn't doing the things I felt I should be doing, like writing and creating content that I know could potentially help other people. Honestly, I felt like a failure and didn't want to wallow in self-pity, but at the same time, I didn't know where to start.

I was very aware that I had a problem with waking up early every morning, only to lay in bed for hours. I would lay there and think about random things, like where I want to be financially, how to improve my role as a mother, what I can do to be a better bass player, and the list goes on. By the time I convinced myself that I needed to get up and get to work, I had missed out on all the things I could have accomplished within those hours, like writing.

I actually feel a lot better now since I've written these three paragraphs. I accomplished my first day of walking as well. Yes, I got up and exercised on the floor in front of my bed for about 30 minutes, then I made my lemon and turmeric tea in a thermos cup, left it on the counter to cool, while I went for a walk.

Initially, I planned to take a 20-minute walk, but 20 minutes quickly turned into 1 hour because I set my timer for 10 hours instead of 10 minutes by mistake. I wanted to walk 10 minutes away from the house so that when I turned around and walked back, it would be a complete 20 minutes that I walked for. By the time I realized my mistake, I was already 20 minutes away, so I set it for the correct 10 minutes again and then turned back after the time passed.

I'm actually not even upset because that walk felt really good, and I listened to videos on topics that I care about on YouTube while I walked. Now I am at my desk writing to you, and I feel really accomplished on day one. Until tomorrow, let's keep working on that person in the mirror.
