2022 wasn’t my best year when it came to being consistent and having willpower.
To turn this around, I decided to give myself a new challenge this year.
I started small: a simple walk around the block, first thing in the morning.
Then, one day became two days in a row. Then three.
Suddenly, I was building some momentum.
I didn’t know how long I was planning to keep this up. But I carried on anyway.
Morning after morning, walk after walk, one step after the other.
This morning, I made it to 75 days in a row 😁
Here is how walking on a daily basis has benefited me:
👟 Reduce stress and anxiety by being in nature.
👟 Stimulate creativity by letting my mind wander.
👟 Learn on-the-go by listening to insightful podcasts.
👟 Build resilience by choosing to walk at any early hour.
👟 Increase and sustain my energy levels throughout the day.
👟 Brainstorm solutions to personal and professional challenges.
👟 Strengthen my self-confidence by showing up regardless of how I feel.
👟 Embedding one positive habit causes a ripple effect in other areas of my life.
👟 Reflect on the day or week — assess what’s gone well and what could be improved.
Above all, I learnt that it is better to first shoot for momentum (the short-term game).
Consistency will take care of itself later 😎
