Perhaps it's just my age, but every day it's all I look for in my life. What can I improve? How can I change my situation? Is there a way I can go see the world today? You may think I'm shitting you, but I shit not these thoughts run through my head every time I find myself sitting down doing nothing of interest. That's why I end up starting random projects, and leaving them unfinished so much in my life. And it's also how I can simply identify most my problems in life come from a lack of motivation.
But recently my mind has cleared up a bit, mostly due to taking up my passion of writing once more, and high hopes of achieving many physical goals I've had for a long time. I had a very long time of no motivation, specifically right before and during my first year of military enlistment due to relationship problems and my own typical teenage angst bitching about life mood at that time. But recently, I've had a great boost of self motivation, which is exactly what I needed. Most of it comes from my two major goals right now which I just mentioned.
The book writing is going smoother than my last attempt to rewrite it. Which is my first boost, which lead me to making a blog for my book and myself to work on my writing skills. As for this weeks progress on the story, I will say I have only got about a quarter of the first chapter completed because my focus was on getting a certain blog set up, and because I was a lazy ass.
And for my physical goals, I have started running 5 days a week. I intend on getting my mile and a half run at least back around 9 minutes where I had it not too long ago. For this I made a great sacrifice (for me personally, most people wouldn't consider it so great). I'm pushing to cut out all unnecessary produced sugars from my diet. All snacks, candies, sports drinks, sodas, ect. I will allow them on social occasions, but in my free time I will not allow myself to grab these things any longer. Starting today. Mostly due to me eating a bag of candy corn (660 grams of sugar) and almost dieing on my last physical training session from said sugar. The cramps were horrible, and occurred after only half a mile of running. And persisting for the next mile and a half of the run until I quit with only a 2 mile run instead of my goal of 5 miles. Luckily I at least managed to run those 2 miles in 11 minutes 35 seconds. Which translates to about a 850 Mile and a half (with cramps).
Well that's all for now, thanks for reading =)
