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 5 AM Morning Rountine

Welcome back or welcome! When I started my Reset my Life challenge I went to tackle habits one of them being sleep. I wanted to make sure that I was fully productive and waking up and getting to it always set me upright. I feel that it is important to be productive especially when first waking to starting your morning right. So I First start out by waking up and making my bed getting straight away. I then go to the kitchen and make my green tea. I set out everything the night before. I head to my room and well drinking my green tea I do my morning pages and look at my schedule and goals for the day. Once I am done with that part of my morning I put on my workout clothes and head to the gym. If you want to know my fitness routine Check here. After the gym, I come home to shower and get dressed for the day. Then I start to do my day's work of studying and writing. I know that this post is short but I like to keep things simple. Easy. Yet Productive. I love that in this v...

5 New Habits To Pick up this year

 With the new year rolling around so quickly people all around the world dream of the actions they will take in the coming year. But with expectations and no determination many will fail. Stay strong with determination and intention you can do anything. so here's my top 5 habits to pick up this year that will change your life and a couple tips to stick to them. 1.Morning pages Morning pages is a continuous flow of conscious writing. I started doing morning pages about 1 year ago. In my year of doing morning pages I've felt alot more clear minded. all you have to is get a journal and a pen or you could even go digital. I like writing it out on paper because there is no backspace button but it's really up to you. 2.Drinking more water I know this one is kinda of obvious but it's something I struggle to do even now. It's not that I hate drinking it, in fact I love it. but I just don't think of it. A few things that I do to remember is to place sticky notes ...

Why Minimalism is Important to me

         So I myself have talked a little bit about my journey into minimalism at the point. Which if I looked into my life now would be crazy. My closet had exploded with art supplies and I was tired of it so I decided to change. Soon after I got rid of most of it and decided to just dedicate a small space for my craft supplies. I don't use most of it still as much as I would like but it 100% has a purpose. (why I've kept it and tutorial - coming soon).                  Since it was the new year I wanted to get back into my minimalistic ways I decided to get rid of stuff and get things back in order. I separated things the Marie Kondo way and I love it. Now that the Marie Kondo show has come out de-cluttering her way has become almost "trendy". Which I kinda hate in some ways to be honest. I mean 100% I love others de-cluttering and if this does it for you great but I really wish more people had dedicated to before ...
