New Year's Resolution

weekly update #25 (73 | 176)

What else. what else. What else... what else. What else. What else? What else...

#1 more regular Al-Quran reciting

Man... man, man... man, man, man... Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. O. K. Not okay. Nope. Nooo... No. Uh'uh. Hm.

#2 weekly adequate exercises

That might just be an excuse to rest for awhile... and that's what I did for the rest of last week. I actually got to play a couple of rounds of basketball with the others when they felt safer to go out. I miss it! I really miss this! Oh... truth be told, we never know whether it is permitted under this lockdown in the first place so when that one cop car just cruised in front of the court, we all froze... and my heart dropped. It was fine, though. Now I had to just jog moving forward... I'm getting into the groove a little but it could be taxing on my body... I want to alternate between jogging and just walking fro now on. It would take longer but I can use the time to write up the long postponed wrestling reviews! There's so much in the back-catalog that I want to do points-based only from now on...

#3 more regularized Funko POP designs

Another one less, at least. The streak is back! Only one less... good enough! Starting another streak! Add two to that into ten! A streak going! Finally! And another! And another one! We just keep on going! And going! And still! Yes, still! But this isn't ideal at all... I need to come clean!

#4 pray full for the whole year

Get a good streak going. And going... and going... and going... actually nope! I stumbled a couple of days unfortunately. Not perfect but getting better... Finally a good week under the belt. I'd been successfully waking up at dawn, but at the edge of it. Right at seven... that's too close for comfort! I actually felt guilty enough not to go to sleep right away when I didn't have my Isyak prayer yet that evening! I didn't just flop down on my bed but actually pushed through and prayed despite the sleepiness... I'm actually improving!

#5 giving back to the community

...

#6 going out of my comfort zone

Another two! That's a streak in and of itself! Uhh, just two less... Another two less! Hey, it's a streak all right! From four to ten! Trying to have a better streak! Nope! Going three less but good enough! From seven (eight?) to four... And actual plus! Only one but an addition nonetheless!

I hope with my attempt to keep myself accountable, this would motivate you to do same!
