#75softchallenge

Change is scary, but staying in the same place is much more terrifying.

Today is the seventh day of doing the 75 soft challenge so here’s a wrap of my week. 

So far so good, I’ve been more active at home than before ever since I stopped going to the gym. I strive to finish any 45 minute workout daily regardless of my hectic schedule. Sometimes I only do my hot girl walk whenever I don’t feel like using weights during my workouts, ride a bike within our subdivision, or would play volleyball with my brother. 

Other than that, I have managed to eat a balanced meal without thinking about the calories of those food I consume. I no longer worry about gaining weight from the foods I eat, therefore I can finally enjoy eating. Also, I started reading books again, I am currently reading “101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think” by Brianna Wiest. I would highly recommend that you should read this book if you love listening to the perspective of other people <3

POV: You're a Mirrorball

Today's the 2nd week of the "75 soft challenge"; honestly, this is a tough week, given that it is my exam week. I've felt pressured and overwhelmed to stick through my routine, but I have still managed to accomplish the rules in this challenge. Discipline is the key :)

Maybe you're wondering about the title of this blog so, here's a context. My bestie and I are having a conversation about Taylor Swift's folklore album and she made me realize that I am not a "this is me trying" kind of girl but rather a "mirrorball".

"I've never been a natural, all I do is try try try"

As someone who grows up as a people pleaser, this song holds a special place in my heart. This song is for the girls who show up with different personalities when facing different people. Who have tried to change everything about themselves to fit in, yet have never been satisfied. Someone who is unsure of their true personality or who they are as a person. The one who is continuously worried about disappointing the people who have high expectations of her.

Sometimes we are in a situation where we aren't pushed to reach our full potential. We tend to be our own worst rivals. Recognizing our hidden qualities and untapped potential through self-development will enable us to reach our full potential. Let's go through some ways I'm currently doing which might help in unleashing your potential as well!

Your only competition is yourself.

Last year, I frequently look through social media to see what other people are doing. I almost lost sight of what I genuinely wanted to do because I kept comparing and comparing to the point where I became overly invested in other people's life because I feel like I wasn't doing enough for myself.

A lot of us are focused on the wrong thing, we keep on worrying about what other people are doing. What you see when you look in the mirror is who you need to be concerned about, yourself. That is your only competition.

Who we are and who we become is influenced by the interactions and relationships we have with others. Being around the greatest people who encourage us to improve and challenge us to grow is not simply a saying; it's an inspirational mantra for success and personal growth. Not only is creating a positive circle of influence important for personal development, but it is also essential for happiness and contentment.

Hi everyone! Over the next 75 days, I will attempt to change my life.

Past few months has been a challenge for me. I've been stuck in a slump for a month now.  I eventually came to my senses and made the decision that I didn't want to live a life in which I simply woke up and be stuck on my phone for the entire day.

I wanna make a change, and the only thing that can make it happen is myself :) So, I decided to start a challenge called "75 soft challenge" inspired by Stephen Gallagher which I saw on tiktok. I've wanted to do it for a very long time, so now seemed like the perfect time!

It is what it is and life goes on.

Hello! today's the 3rd week of doing the 75 soft challenge. Finally, exam week is over and I have more time to do the things I want.

Throughout this week I only did quick workouts, specifically pilates since it helps me feel relaxed. This week challenged me mentally given the pressure of the exams and other personal things happening in my life.

We often have trouble with the need to control everything around us throughout the chaotic events of everyday life. We desire to build our reality in order to satisfy what we want with the hope that it would bring us happiness. But lately, I've come to the realization that caring less can actually bring peace, and I couldn't help but share it with all of you.
