Day 26 — and today I realized something simple but powerful: the magic of checking something off a list.
I was so behind on my 75 Hard tasks that I decided to stop overthinking and just do something. I took my progress picture midday, opened my Habit app, and checked that box — and wow, that tiny moment of progress actually gave me the motivation I needed to keep going. Sometimes you just need one small win to shift your mindset.
Overall, it was a pretty average day. I decided to fast for most of it to kind of reset, and when I finally ate dinner, it was super basic but so good. I think all the clean eating and lack of processed junk is totally resetting my taste buds — I’m appreciating real food again, and it’s wild.
Workout-wise, I kept it simple: an outdoor walk and a strength-training yoga combo. I swear, yoga just hits different. It helps me reset mentally, physically, emotionally — all of it.
Oh, and the best part? I finished my first book! Now I’m diving into The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, and I’m so ready to see what lessons I can apply to this challenge and my life overall.
Key Lesson of the Day: When motivation feels impossible, do one small thing you can cross off the list — it might be exactly what gets you moving again.
