Last few days, my project tasks have become a chore, it feels like my passion has finally run out.
I would like to pause this, rejuvenate my drive/passion and restart again. But that’s where the fact that I have committed to 50 days plays in so well.
I have agreed to doing something, made a promise to myself. Now, how it feels doesn’t really matter. Fulfilling a promise made to myself, holding my word is paramount.
Working on my willpower and commitment muscle has been really fascinating. Where not that long ago, not having my daily purchased sweets would have felt impossible, today it’s a norm, a reality. I am simply the kind of person who doesn’t buy sweets. A person, who doesn’t smoke. Doesn’t drink alcohol.
I no longer exercise the willpower muscle, this is just how it is now.
Previously, if temptation arose, I would falter and give in. Now it’s irrelevant.
I am committed. I am set on my goals. Nothing will ruin this.
Update: This was the last day of project 50. Something did in fact ruin this. Me. No matter how committed I felt while writing this post originally, I have failed the very next day. It was a minor dietary slip-up. A co-worker was having a birthday party and I (unintentionally and completely absent-mindedly) had a slice of pizza with everyone. Challenge failed right there. But that’s ok, there will be more challenges 😉
