Jorunal O Ram

In an attempt to self check and evaluate on how I am able to manage my life and myself, I have tracked some activities which I felt need attention. So, I tracked my activities for in the month of July. And it is not a surprise that the results are pathetic. If you see the score sheet, out of 31 times, I could perform task 1 is only 10 times whatever be the conditions, time lines etc. In an idealistic scenario I should have done Task 1 for 31 times in July while I did it only 10 times in a realistic scenario. So is the case with counts of other activities. The statistics below.

TASK JULY (31)
Task 1 10
Task 2 5
Task 3 13
Task 4 6
Task 5 6
Task 6 15
Task 7 5
Task 8 4
Task 9 1
Task 10 NA

Now, this has become an awakening statistics. So, that I keep my activities, tasks or objectives realistic, practical and achievable. Hence, I move forward with my tracking for August. I am waiting for the scores at the end of August.

The lessons from July, I think are:
Balance is the key
Realistic goals
More commitment and dedication towards the goals
Do not make false assumptions
Do not restrict the mind for innumerable possibilities

Most importantly, if you one needs to make a choice between a) to go for it or b) not to go for it, choose to "Go for it!". For instance, one of these days, I wanted to go to the gym. Time was already 9pm on a weekday. So, I was really thinking if I should go for it or not go for it. I looked out of the window and it was dark and I did not see anyone around. I thought it was too late. Then, I anyway had to go out to drop the trash. So, I eventually chose to go to the gym while I dump the trash. And when I was at the gym, I was astonished at the number people that are working out at that hour in the gym. It was maybe a little less than the peak hour. And there is a 60 years old lady who has her skin and muscles sagged due to old age. And she is working out
on the biceps machine with a 10lbs weight. I admired her commitment to health and felt greatly motivated. At the same time, I felt ashamed for thinking of not going to the gym. Anyone, who is lazy, please go to the gym and see with your own eyes how people are working towards a healthy life. You will be inspired to keep yourself healthy. Good Luck!


Key words:
