I did workout every day and read 10 pages of nonfiction every morning for the 75 Hard Challenge. The other tasks, like eating healthy and drinking lots of water, are just like what sleep does to me; I need them, so it doesn’t take any effort to keep the challenge. 

Reading Less Hours, But Keep The Consistency 

Reading 2 hours a day can be a bit too challenging since I want to get more things done in one day, so from this week on I’ll change my plan for the “Books” pillar of my New Year Resolution into 1 hour, plus 10 pages of non-fiction reading as the learning part.

Ran With Pain, But Survived

I managed to get some running done, though my waist still hurt from time to time during the run, and I got 9 min/km for the pace; that was the slowest I’ve ever gotten since I started running. But all was good; I can’t feel the pain any more. I hope I will become stronger to ever let the pain come back again.

The weather was not good most of the time for the past week. And I got my period hit, but everything turned out to be just way better than I assumed. I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep the challenge if it rained too much, but when it rained, let’s go dancing in the rain! Don’t ever assume yourself less or weaker than you already are. I want to do more running from this week on and maybe more swimming.

As Long As There Is Music, I Will Be Fine

My “Matters of Heart” pillar went great; I did some instruments practicing almost every day, and I liked it when I was playing drums or ukulele. Music is the best of the best for life. Due to some stupid VPN issues, I can’t use most of the audio for my posts, which was not a good experience.

I have been listening to Shawn Mendes all the time for the past couple of weeks ever since I saw his video playing and singing in the woods, which looks like the exact match of [Freedom]. And he is half naked, lol. You see, there are men in the real world who love, who live, who exist. 

Yeah, still I was looking forward to meeting someone, but I don’t try to meet. I let it be. There are guys around, but I feel nowadays people are just too difficult to get really attached. I still didn’t go see that movie, but I’m not in the rush or anything. I like the current statue of my life. Not wanting someone or something in particular, just trying to live each day with something I enjoy doing and go to sleep at peace. Not talking to someone in depth. Not social; be with my books, music, and daily routines to pass each day.

I think I will be just okay if, in the end, I can’t meet that one who loves me fearlessly. In particular, I think it’s understandable; guys want to hit up with different girls. I guess I just want to be so different that not anyone can catch up with. Enjoy the statue of being alone, enjoying the moments of being different from the world. There are so many good girls out there, but none is as soulful as me. We should all hold the belief that whoever loves us should see the difference in us as we see it ourselves. If you don’t see your value yet, no rush; look back into yourself; look deep inside your heart; you’ll finally see it. You’re preciousness; if nobody else sees it, you should always see it in you. 

I like the challenge so far, and I guess all the challenges are to ourselves; by keeping doing things consistent, we work together with ourselves in a better way. We see our value in each and every aspect, and then we won’t let anything or anyone less be in your life. That’s thriving!
