Checking In 3

I’m struggling a little this week.

I’m not getting nearly as much done as I had hoped. My fitness stuff has fallen off, my writing has fallen off, my reading has fallen off. I haven’t been sticking to my sleep schedule. My procrastination has been really bad.

But…I try to remind myself of what I have accomplished. In the interest of moving toward a more intentional life, I have been decluttering. Getting rid of a lot of stuff that is just filling space in my apartment. Stuff I literally haven’t used in years and have no need for anymore. I didn’t have a ridiculous amount of stuff to begin with as I have done two massive declutters in the last couple of years, but I’m finally getting to the point where I’m curating what is in my space.

I try not to be too hard on myself. I try to remember to greet each new day without the burden of the ones prior. I try to remember why all this is important to me. I try to remind myself that every moment is a chance to change the narrative. Sometimes it works and I turn the day around and end it strongly. Sometimes it doesn’t and end it frustrated with myself.

But the most important thing for me to remember is that I keep plugging on. I keep having wins. I keep trying. And tomorrow is another day.
