i exercised well. got 10k steps for 5 days in a week, which is a lot of achievement to my standard.

i realised and devised some sort of strategy to be able to get 10K. Wore my fitbit all the time. and every step counts. from morning when i need to do some mini chores before work. i stop scooting and chose to go to work to and from work. chose the stairs instead of the elevators. i make sure i moved around at work.

by the time i reach home, i need to cover maybe about 3-4k more steps. and i found a teambodyproject cardio videos and somehow, of all the exercise videos i have tried, i enjoyed their more. and i have been doing them for two weeks now.

so physically, i pretty much had it figured out. and i am really happy for me. the sweats give me satisfaction. haha. but the knee is still painful but i have to persevere.

i used to put a specific time for specific habit. but one year on in 2017, its a bit hard for me somehow. laziness sometimes take over. other things took my time away. i realised then that for me, i just need to lock that idea of doing a habit in my mind every day, and no matter when i do it, i know at the end of the day, i should have done it. it’s quite liberating actually, having it this way.
it’s quite easy then. every morning, woke up, have a quick reel of all the habits i need to do, stood up and then move on from there.

and now instead of having a long list of habits i need to tick every day. i grouped them into three or four items.

the cool plan – achieve 10K steps, do exercise or cardio now, limit sweet drinks
the faith plan – all my zikirs and do’as and Qur’an readings
the joy plan – reading, do journaling, blogging, netflix whatever is is to stay sane and destress
save – this one had to be a simple easy term – i just need to save = no shopping

and that’s it. does not look too much and heavy. Although i appreciated doing that long list in 2017, because now my brain knows what it means and requires to achieve the deeds above.

now i have to figure out the faith plan on how it all can make sense for me.

towards happiness.
