This has taken me an age to write and I know I’m currently 3 months behind with my monthly posts! I’ll explain more of the reason for this when I eventually write my July post. Anyway, back to April (which does seem so long ago now!).
Following on from March and a bit of a health scare the previous few months, on the 2nd April I embarked on doing another 100-day challenge, I knew deep down that I needed to put my health and wellbeing at the forefront of everything I do. This was mainly around consistent habits, which I struggle with the most – consistency. When I was younger I was able to commit to something and I just stuck at it, however, over the past few years despite knowing that doing things consistently is a good thing I just am not able to stick to doing things daily, half of me is thinking I’m setting myself up for a fail and the other half of my brain is saying you’ve done it before so you can do it again.
The 5 things I was committing to doing daily were:
- Moving my body – having done something like this before, I nominated Tuesday as my rest day to avoid over-exercising!
- Eating healthy – compared to most my diet is pretty good but I had let a few things slip so this was a kick up the arse to get it back to being great
- Drinking more fluids – again I’m pretty good at this but again let it slip
- Posting on social media for my businesses
- Throw something out/recycle/donate
At the time, these were things I wanted to get on top of and create consistent habits and for the most part, I did really well with the first 3 things on the list, the social media posting dropped off pretty quickly (more about that in future posts) and the decluttering of the house was sporadic.
However, on the last point, I was just happy that I was making progress with decluttering my house and just one or two things moved from the house was a start.
Overall, April was a good month, work and the businesses ticked along nicely, I was feeling better by the day with moving my body, eating well and drinking more fluids, I was riding the waves so to speak and it felt fantastic…
Bring on May.
