Got to train that upper body
Do you save your game?
Playing video games, most of us that were born in the past millenium knew how important you had to save your game. There were no autosave and even less cloud technology. The only cloud we had was the one in the shape of a heart or a random animal.
Same goes as journaling. I was asking myself this simple question after only one week… Why do I keep a daily entry blog? What’s the point? Nobody wants to see what I ate, my amount of reps or even If I sleep well.
But here’s the thing. I’m doing doing it for you. I appreciate a 100% your support. However, this journal is for me. To be a reminder of what I did for my future self.
In my Codex, the journal is a tool of wisdom. Growth is valuable in itself. But it’s even better when you can see the path.
“Before autosave, we learned to protect our progress. Journaling is the same — a way to store who I was today, so tomorrow I can see how far I’ve traveled.”
Right now I feel…
It’s rare for me to feel proud of myself, but tonight I do. I started something that makes me feel alive again, and that’s a big deal. It’s not toxic positivy, it’s calculated growth.
I used to be so negative about myself like: I can’t do 1 push up, I’m fat, I’m weak. All truths to be honest. But word sticks. And if you’re a little into personality tests and zodiac (just for fun). I’m a ISTP-Pisces. Think of it as this:
Someone who solves things by doing and feels things very deeply, and they grow best when they can explore the world freely and learn at their own pace.
I internalize everything. I repeat scenarios in my head. And somehow they become reality. Negative self talk is destructive in my case.
What Did I learned today?
Octopuses have three hearts, and when they swim, one of their hearts stops beating — which is why they prefer to crawl instead of swim. I knew the multiple hearts, but I didn’t knew one stopped in movement.
Quite impressive.
What Challenge did I face?
Work. Work is pretty challenging right now as our team as been reduced by 90% since we had a merge. So I have pretty high expectations from management, without the resources or the time to do them all.
What do you do in that situation? Panic? Sometimes, but remember this: “Focus on what you can control, and let go of what you can’t.”
I can’t control what the board of directors wants, but I can show how unrealistic it is in a nice presentation. I can’t control how mad the managers are when we don’t reach our target. But I can well show the dashboard that says I did my job.
Always think of what you can control in your environment, document and move on.
