I've started my gratitude Journaling and along with it I also write 3 good things about myself or things I've managed to improve. I feel we lose track of how we've come a long way and how we are worthy too and this helps me remember.
I’m going to copy your thoughts on working out… started lifting weights at 48 and now at 58 I’m not only stronger, healthier but more disciplined in most aspects of my life. And no matter my mood… sad happy angry .. a good work out neutralizes it… it’s my therapy!
The habit of Journalling has impacted my life the most. I have been able to feel better in difficult times and it has been kinda therapeutic to me. When I feel the need to check if I'm on track, I just pen it down. It is a great way of self-reflection. I have learned to be appreciative of my own journey and it's pace too. It has helped me see myself evolve and grow. No matter how absurd some things written in the past feel, I acknowledge that it was a phase and I wrote what I felt. Most importantly, it has added to my self-esteem, as I started making decisions and learning through experiments. It taught me to be the judge of ownself rather than always looking for some mentor's opinion on every little thing. This journal is a place which taught me to love myself, to be kind to myself in a world where being a busy bandwagon and perfection is given so much importance.
I'm not much of a habits man, to be honest! My days are as varied as the stars in the sky. The thing that has made my life most interesting, however, is curiousity.
