What Do You Want to Commit to Today?

I'm still contemplating on how to better title this post.
Of course it could be something catchier.
But then I looked at my to do list today, and it seemed a good idea to take my inspiration from there.

A glimpse of my daily to do list.
Yes, really, as of Oct 10 at 9:51am.
Hey man, gotta be excited about something!


Have you noticed that, when it come to pursuing some life-altering goal (being an entrepreneur, pursuing grad school, losing weight/staying healthy & fit, paying off debt, advancing your career, etc), it's essentially the same mindset?

It's about constantly asking yourself the following:
How badly do you want this?
What is your 'why'?
'Do you want to make things happen, or watch things happen?'

So essentially, it's trying to identify what you want to commit to.
Or one a micro level, trying to figure out what you want to commit to today.

Top 3 goals on my mind?
Pay off debt, lose weight/get healthy & fit, and (attempt to!) advance my career.
All three are equally important to me (or so I think), but lately I feel like I've only been able to dedicate time and energy toward one of the three.
Why is it easy to get down on yourself and stray from consistency toward your goal?

Part one is to be conscious about it, and part two is probably to start acting on it.
Let's see how that goes once I'm finished typing this post.




Oh, dammit. And now I'm finished.

The Light Bulb is On: What I Want for 28

It's past 3 in the morning, on August 2nd. I'm pretty much 28. There's something about being awake & coherent this late at night that feels... Very sobering. One good friend loves to ask "what are the highs and the lows?" when embarking upon another year of life. A "high" of mine was moving to Oregon for a great work opportunity. This time last year, I was craving newness and a new adventure. With a little bit of work, luck, and help from the universe, it somehow all came true. Another "high" was realizing how important family and friends are to me. Consequently, this also was a "low" of mine. I feel like it's been a little difficult building a support system in a new city that vaguely even resembles what I have back home. So as I blow out the candles on da cake, what do I want for myself? I want to be a goal setter. Another good friend of mine made a post on her social media, saying it's good to set personal and professio...

2 Weeks In.

For the past two weeks, I have tried to eat as clean as possible (borderline Whole30 diet). While I am proud of myself, a few days of cheat meals have prompted me to start over this month long challenge. Even if it was a few cheat meals here and there, my body definitely is feeling it. It always amazes and frustrates me how gaining weight and accumulating debt have the same base behaviors. Onto a clean Spring.

Countdown to 2017

Image
I think it's pretty safe to say that the world is looking forward to 2016 being over. Aside from political affiliation, there are many other current events that have left people devoid of hope (as of late, Carrie Fisher has passed away. RIP you badass, you). So as I have a few days until 2017, I'm trying to reflect on what my goals were, what I actually did, and what I strive for in the future One, it's always good to track things so you have something to look back on. Two, when looking back at accomplishments for the year, I feel it's always a mix of things I actually did/things I never touched on. Or maybe that is me, as I can't commit and follow through on some things by myself. Things I actually did: Starting to save money! Moving was a good step Bought stock (thank you, job) Actually took some time off for my own staycation to explore my new hood Went somewhere international! You bet I consider a work layover in Japan as accomplishing t...
