“One does not magically get one‘s act together- it is a matter of many individual choices. And make no mistake: while the individual action is small, its cumulative impact is not.”

What I do everyday shapes who I am,
not just in the moment,
but in the person I am becoming.
Guiding my days with confidence & love 💛

It‘s okay to fall into an unproductive flow sometimes, but our habits do shape us.
The cool thing is, we get to choose which habits we reinforce.

Daily Stoic meditation: the antidote to my reading slump.
so-soThe book was okay. If anything I found it inspirational and motivating. It describes great leaders and it is a good book to gain insight on how to become a good one. It pushes you and gives you some tips on how to become disciplined but it dragged in a many areas and there weren‘t explicit strategies.
pickNovember‘s pick was Discipline is Destiny. I wasn‘t sure about it at first, but ultimately a lot of what he wrote resonated with me, so much that as soon as I finished I re-listened to it. But, November was a good month—strong honorable mentions to Stay True by Hua Hsu and Reagan by Bob Spitz.
New Year, New Habits
This will be my new morning routine. The passage from the Daily Stoic for today, the page from the linked journal then a quick check of the family To Do list using the very funny and profane planner my friend gave me for Christmas.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Started listening to this and found myself sort of rolling my eyes and thinking, “okaaaaay, Cal Newport,” but as it went on I found a lot of the content actually did really land for me, to the point that once I finished, I immediately listened a second time. The premise is that, rather than self denial, self-discipline is actually the way to achieve contentment and satisfaction. When I let myself let that in I realized he has a point.
Hibernating this for a little bit, just because I need some lighter books this season.
