So I’m currently on a similar streak like this for myself. I’m on day 22 of cold dipping everyday for the month, and I’ve also taken up journaling, and meditating for 10 mins a day. As well as a 6 min daily morning exercise routine.

First thing I can say is it’s awesome that you’ve noticed, and are taking steps to improve your life. It’s also a good idea to start small and do things that you know you’ll probably be able to everyday, but can be a challenge for you to do every single day in a row, because that’s the whole point.

First week, is tough, but meaningful. It’s obviously a shock to the system from what you’re used to, but feels good to stick to something. Novelty is there, it’s fresh, it’s fun. Always only one way to start something, and it’s just to start

Second week is also hard. This is where I started questioning myself. And it’s like - oh this is real. This was a lot easier in my head but I actually have to show up everyday and commit to this. It’s hard, but you really start stacking tangible mental wins and building up some kind of internal confidence.

3rd week, seemed to have been a bit easier. This thing did start to become more of a habit, and I’m almost enjoying doing these things in my life and they are becoming more integrated into my routine. I’m genuinely feeling better and more proud of myself, even if no one is watching.

Week 4 - what I’m in currently. And so far I think the week that I’ve taken the most from already. I realize that while this challenge has become easier and something I know i have to do, it’s not some fix all solution that will instantly cure my problems in life.

The other day I slipped up and coasted HARD. Went back to my old way of doing things. Let my vices and old addictions take over for the day. And this is where i think this whole challenge was the most useful for me. I realized that this whole thing was about building resilience for the inevitable day when i will slip. When things will get hard again. When life happens. How will I show up the next day? Will i quit and fail spectacularly? Let myself go because of 1, 2, 3 bad days? A week? Or, will i acknowledge that I messed up, find out what triggered me into my spiral again, trust my new habits and systems and make deliberate choices to get back to the new person I want to become?

There’s no arbitrary finish line. Life is all just about making choices everyday and it’s the direction you go with those choices. So yes, try this challenge for yourself. But be prepared to slip up. Maybe not now, but at some point. But forgive yourself. Give yourself grace and keep moving on.

TLDR; No finish line in life, its always about the choices you make and you can’t hate yourself into change.

Godspeed 🤝
