Lately, I have come to recognize that I am not in the best shape of my life. Not physically and not mentally. Over the last year or so, I have been working on a lot of small improvements and pushing myself to that best shape. However, I think at some point that became an excuse for mediocrity and I ended up becoming stagnant. In the last six months, my "small adjustments for the better" have seemed to fizzled out, and I think I was trying to hide this from myself.
As such, I decided it was a good point for a hard reset in the way I do things. To start off, I totally deleted all of my social medias Friday night. This has given me chances to go for walks and work on actual productive things as opposed to getting stuck in a social media wormhole for who knows how long. Another thing I have been working on is trying to increase my water intake; I have begun to carry my water bottle around with me and have found that it has been a huge help. By simply being more hydrated, I feel fresher, less groggy, and less sluggish most of the time.
I am also trying to stabilize my sleep schedule, my physical activity, and my diet. I am approaching these in baby steps; I have had the phrase "one percent better, every day" ringing in my head for some time now, and I am trying to live by that. I want this to also present itself in my Kung Fu. As my passion renews, I believe my progress will as well.
