Reset Challenge: Habits

       Welcome to the first edition of my Reset Challenge. This week I was trying to update and challenge myself to Fix my habits.

          Now I will say that I could've planned the timing better but I thought just start now. I am currently re-doing my room (wet paint on the walls now). So I've had to sleep on the couch for 4ish nights now. So Hopefully I will get to sleep in my bedroom soon. But It didn't keep me from stopping my habit change goal.

For my habits, I am going with

Reading 10 pages per day
Morning pages every day
Practicing guitar every day
Making the bed
Exercising 6 days

For reading every day I completely and utterly failed. I must've read 3 pages the entire week out of the book but I did listen to about 15 minutes of an Audiobook.

For morning pages I also didn't do that great I wrote Four pages out of Seven. Then again not the worst I could've done

I did great with practicing every day. I played the guitar for 342 minutes this week. I use Yousician to practice and It tracks the time perfectly.

For making the bed every day I did okay. It was more of making the couch instead but when I had my bed I did well. Not perfect but I could have improved. So that's 6 out of 7 days.

Exercising wasn't great. I started so strong but I just didn't finish it that way. I worked out 5 days but It wasn't as good the last day because I just finished half of the ab routine.

I also made it a goal to spend less un-required time for technology. I have to use it for educational and work purposes and I wanted to include the time I spent on tech So that people could see my main flaw in time management. I spent a total of 13 hours on my tech. Now I would like to tell in detail a little more about what I was doing. Not all of it was entertainment (though most are). I spent Seven and a half hours on Netflix, 2 hours on safari, 3 and 1/2 hours on Yousician and 15 minutes on Amazon music and the other time was spent in settings, clock, and the app store.

Now I want to focus on less Netflix time because, to be honest, I tend to just sit around and watch too much of it. The scariest part of this I am about to reveal that I spent 43% less time on tech than last week. I am honestly ashamed about it and that's why I am urging for change.

Though most of my habits were failures I really tried to fix them a bit and they weren't complete failures considering I am 1 step higher into changing then I was before.

My Self-care Rountine

   Hello and welcome to this post, I have been really excited to write this post and share my self-care routine. So here is my average to-do list and a few opinions of sort.    I always have my self-care days on Sundays and usually every week but sometimes I need a little extra so I take Saturday as a self-care day too. But Almost every time it's just Sunday.      So The first thing I do is delay my wake-up time from Saturday evening to Sunday morning by 1 hour. So instead of waking up at 5 I will wake up at 6-6:30.         As soon as I wake-up I rip the sheets off my bed and move on to the laundry room where I put my sheets and clothes from the week in. It takes an 1 and 1/2 for washing so I use this time to start the cleaning process. I Go up and wash my face, brush my hair and teeth and put on a face mask if I have one.         Now it's for the tidying portion of the day. I go to my room sort out everything a...

Mental Minimalism and My Buying Method

          Welcome back to another post on minimalism!               Sometimes when people think about minimalism they don't realize the mental feeling and actions we take that pair. I may not know exactly what everyone does to get there mind cleared and feeling fresh but I can tell you what I do.             Usually when it comes to minimalism People and me started to declutter and the physical world usually comes first when it comes to it. So if you haven't then I would. The physical world is hard to not focus on at times. Focusing, in general, can even be difficult but being present at the moment can help things and relieve the pressure you may be experiencing.            When I first decluttered things felt amazing. The room felt more open and my mind was so much more clear. But the first time didn't stop the feeling. I put everything out of the ro...

What Video Games can teach you about living a Meaningful Life

             Most often minimalists will talk about removing things that make you unhappy. But sometimes they say that they don't have time to do the things that they love like playing video games.                    So what's the real reason for me using video games as an objective thing to teach a lesson. Well, great question but it's more about me wanting to say I had an awesome childhood and family where we would gather together in the living room and all go through 3 or 4 dungeons on World of Warcraft or Guild of wars 2 or whatever game we were playing together at the time. Well, I do wish we still did this I know the benefits of control and discipline (as well as how awesome my parents are).               When you love video games there is a difference between loving and choosing. You want to play them every hour of the day and that's what childhoo...
