Writing Daily for July

An experiment

This is a new one for me. I’m right in the thick of another challenge to myself that involves walking 15,000 steps each day for 30 days.

As I begin this challenge of writing daily I still have about a week left of my walking. Not that I think my steps will get in the way of these words, but that I’m shocked that I’ve decided on take on something else like this while not finished the first challenge.

Maybe it’s that I’ve shown myself that I can through keeping up with my step goal?

Or maybe it’s my current routine that has space for morning and evening writing if I see fit. I sleep enough. I move my body. I don’t do much else? Ha

I’ve seen people write about much they write for Medium. I’ve wondered what it was really like to do it. But I couldn’t figure out how I could also do it.

A shift in thought

I really believe this whole endeavour comes from a massive shift in thought that I’ve come to. That I am so much more capable when I truly prioritize the most important things to me.

Like sleep. Oh my goodness sleep.

I have this strange reality that even if I sleep the same amount of hours in total… if I happen to begin those sleeping hours say at 10pm instead of 8pm I am exponentially more tired the later my sleep starts.

Is that weird?

Probably

But here we are anyways. My reality. If I want to get the things done that I really hold dear and that can allow me to better my future I also lose other things like a fun night out or a tv show I may have wanted to watch in bed.

This isn’t for the faint of heart

This is not easy. This prospect of writing, at least not for me.

I worry about what I will have to say. Do I really have anything to write about?

I supposed over this coming month I will find out, and you will too if you happen to read along.
