Breathe, Live & Smile

I don’t want to sound cliche and yell, ‘We did it!’ 

But we did. 

Today is a day I have been looking forward to for the past 99 days and a part of me still can’t process that we made it. 

I never thought I would be able to keep 100 days of consistently positing each day at a specific time frame. 

In the beginning, there were days I did forget and ended up posting later than the time frame I set for myself but I kept going and going until it became ingrained in my mind that I needed to post at a specific time slot. 

I knew I could just schedule the posts to publish at a certain time but for me, the accomplishment was building the habit of doing it as opposed to doing it. 

I would set alarms or avoid falling asleep when it was close to the timeframe when I needed to post so I could be awake to do the whole process myself. That was the drive for me, pulling myself from whatever I was doing at the moment and handling this one task. 

It didn’t matter if I was in the middle of a class or an interview or even scrolling through a video on the internet, I would halt whatever task I was doing and open up the jetpack app to post. 

Along the way, it became so much more than just posting but also about improving my craft and writing daily which was something I didn’t see possible with my busy class schedule. 

But it occurred to me that I just needed to be deliberate with my actions and I would be able to get it done. 

I wish I could tag all the blog posts that I’ve read that kept me going but there are just so many of them, either way, you may not know it but I want to say thank you. You’re part of the reasons I achieved this. 

Even now a part of me still questions if I can keep it up, I know I can because all I have to do is handle each day as they come. 

And in the event, I miss a day, that’s no issue I will just start over again because it’s not just the streak that matters, the habit does too.
