Valhalla Post 5: Self Managing
Howdy hey everyone! This one may be a bit brief because it's late, but first, the usual update.
Book 3 written: ~26%
Book 3 edited: ~23%
The thing is, a lot of my life lately has been about managing myself, and it has slowly become even more so. I actually managed to do an extra 2% of both writing and editing, and I did at least 2 weeks worth of work for my certificate course (Yay! Quite excited I was about to do both). But, I've also decided to try and manage my physical health too. I want to workout more, and I want to eat better, and I want to continue improving not just my mental health with writing and taking courses, but also my physical health. Truth be told, managing yourself is one of the hardest things to do. It's really easy to want to just sit around and play games or watch tv, or even to just sit there and do nothing. Especially after a long day of working hard and simply doing too much. (Ew, gross, am I right?)
However, I've always worked to move when I've felt like moving the least. I push myself forward to do things because even if I don't feel like doing anything at all, that's something I still want to do. It's not that I don't want to write, or finish my course early, or even go for a short run. It's that I just want a small respite where I don't do anything at all. I feel that. I like to think I feel it just as much as the next person. But I've worked on making myself do stuff even when I don't feel like doing anything at all. Sometimes it's exhausting, but for the most part, I'm glad I've done it.
So, if there's ever anything you want to do and you feel like you don't have the energy, then make the energy. Convince yourself to get up. Push yourself. If it's something you truly want to do, then you have to stop standing in your own way. Figure out how you can manage yourself, and keep moving forward.
I am behind you, always. Let's keep pursuing our dreams my Rising Stars!
