[Story] Discipline is consistency

I began 2025 relaxed and chilled out but in the middle of the year something happened that crashed my entire system.

Result? I had to start everything from scratch !

From years, I had been unsatisfied with the way I was living. My health, not bad but not great either My finances, doing just fine. My life in general was okay okay.

I knew if anything goes wrong ever, I might crash badly but nothing bad had happened for so long so I was kind of relaxed but then the unfortunate thing happened and my only source of income started to dwindle.

To keep it from falling apart completely, I started working overtime but with my not so great habits, that became a disaster and I FAILED.

I picked myself up. FIRST THING I DID WAS TO ACCEPT MY MISTAKES AND ALSO CELEBRATE MY WINS!

Second, I started rethinking my entire routine. I Started to note down my entire day (journalling) to see what exactly was I doing.

Turns out, one simple step of finishing what I started, being consistent no matter what could solve half my problems or atleast the intensity of problems.

Third, implementation! Me being me, I knew I won't make it untill I make it practically doable for me, so I not only made a practical daily routine but also added a few breathers !

INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING A SET ROUTINE DAILY, I ADDED CHEAT DAYS ! I could slip back to the old me on these days. Surprisingly, I never slipped back to old me even on cheat days but the very thought that I HAVE A BREATHER didn't make following a routine so tough!

Now as we are closing 2025, I am in a better place at all fronts. I haven't "fixed" myself completely but I am doing better !

So yeah! Discipline is consistency. Consistency comes from simplicity.
