Why all of these efforts?
I've done a lot of efforts lately. I've achieve a lot to go in the direction I wanted to go then. I wanted to be happier and to have a less stressful life.
- I stopped using social media
- I stopped relying as much on recommendation algorithm such as YouTube
- I ditched my smartphone for a service phone
- I started a meditation habit
- I made my diet healthier
- I keep a diary for more than 3 years now
- I took care of my sleeping health
I've done a lot of efforts, and I am truly grateful for all the help I got in order to get there. It's thanks to those who helped me in the darkest moment and who encouraged me when I needed a push that I was able to achieve all of that.
This little list may don't look like a lot to you, but it truly made my life a healthier and a happier one.
I now try to keep adding things to this list by trying to build a consistent blogging habit and a sport routine. And I am trying my best everyday to make those habits stick.
But sometimes, when I am alone and a bit lost, I start to wonder why I am doing all of this? It's not easy everyday and when I am tired I truly prefer to binge YouTube or to eat a big bag of potato chips. It can happen that I am not in the mood for all of this and that I truly start to think about this question.
And then I remember.
I remember the ones that helped me. I remember my loved ones. I remember the dark moments I escaped thanks to them. I remember that I want to be able to help those people.
I once read that people had much more influence on us than we think. They can heavily change our comportment and how we view the world.
I want to become one who make them think that the world is beautiful. I want them to think that they can be happy. I want to be one who make them feel better, ever so slightly.
That's why I am doing all these efforts.
