I would say today was a very productive day. I’m struggling with implementing my new habits, but I failed successfully today—if that makes sense?
My goals for the day were:
- To complete all my available work hours
- Work on my side gigs to make extra money
- Apply for new income-generating jobs
✅ I completed all my financial goals for the day!
Diet:
On the other hand, my diet was tragic. My calorie goal is 2,000 calories per day of healthy, quality foods—because those foods significantly reduce my pain. Instead, I ended up eating 3,000+ calories of absolute trash food… blah.
Reflection:
My greatest struggle is using food to cope with emotional ups and downs. Today was a very emotionally low day due to family issues—something I’ll get into later (just not at 4 a.m.).
New Tool:
I downloaded an app called Insight Timer. It’s a motivation app I plan to start using daily to help keep my mind focused, on task, and moving forward. I also believe that maintaining this journal and clearly stating my goals for the next day will help.
Thought of the Day:
Have any of you read Atomic Habits? Great book. I plan to reread it, but for now, the concept of habit stacking is stuck in my head. I need to implement it so I can be more productive at the start of my day.
Looking Ahead:
Regardless, today was a good day overall.
Tomorrow, I will:
- Meditate before I do anything else
- Count my calories
- Complete all available hours of work
- Work my side gigs
- Begin a new side gig
- Finish a job application
Reminder to Self:
Progress, not perfection. I will fix what I can.
