I made a lot of bad decisions over the weekend which resulted in yesterday not being a productive day.
The bad decisions started by probably drinking too much on Saturday night, definitely gambling way too much money, and then getting a lot of unhealthy food for takeaways afterwards. Sunday wasn’t the worst day but once again I made a few unhealthy food choices. This snowballed into yesterday where I made more unhealthy food choices.
I didn’t take the oppprtunity to get any work done or try meet any new contacts. Instead I just slipped back into old habits which reflect the person I’m trying to move away from.
However I’m blessed to get another opportunity this week to turn this around, make some good decisions, and move my life forward. I need to start moving forward and with my partner away for 3 and a half days, I have massive opportunities to put the foot down work-wise.
I know that I can achieve some crazy outcomes while my partner is away and it can break the current trajectory that I’m on. I will be disappointed if I don’t make the most of this time and put my head down and get a huge amount of work done. I can then rest this weekend once she is home as I would’ve done enough work to cater for the whole week.
I am also going to do a 86-hour fast while she is away which is another good challenge to push myself and see what I’m made of. I suppose I’m currently 14 hours in although I slept for 8 of those. I don’t actually think today will be too difficult because I’ve got a morning work period, then I’ll do some exercise in the arvo and work again. The main challenges will come tomorrow and Thursday I think.
But it’s moment by moment and just keep making small, good decisions. Don’t get distracted and remember that I can act in spite of how I feel. I might feel tempted to negotiate with myself over doing this fast, or I might negotiate with myself about checking my phone or something, but this sprint is temporary for 3-4 days, and then I’ll get some rewards.
I’m looking forward to working on my money making processes, finding ways to help people, sell them products that make their life better, and then serving them in ways that get better and better and better.
