Over the past 11 days, I’ve been working on staying active and honestly, I’m pretty proud of how it’s been going. At first, I thought it would be hard to stick to doing physical activity five times a week, but starting with just three days helped a lot. I’ve been switching it up between walking in the park near my house and doing strength training workouts from YouTube. I’m using an app on my phone to track the workouts, and it’s been cool to see how consistent I’ve been. There were definitely days when I didn’t feel like moving at all, especially after long days or when I was just tired, but once I started, I always felt better afterward. The weekly progress photos were kind of weird at first, but they’ve been motivating because I can actually see small changes happening. My energy is better too, which I didn’t expect this soon.

This part has been more of a challenge, but it’s also been one of the most rewarding. Before this plan, I wasn’t paying much attention to what I ate. I’d just eat whatever was quick and easy, and I wasn’t drinking much water at all. For the past 11 days, I’ve been using a food diary app to log my meals. It’s made me realize how much processed food I used to eat without even thinking. Now, I’m prepping meals on Sundays with stuff like chicken, rice, vegetables, and some healthier snacks. I’ve also made it a goal to drink at least two liters of water a day. I missed logging my meals a couple of times when I was out with friends or forgot, but overall I’m eating way better than I was before. I actually feel more focused during the day too, which is something I didn’t expect just from changing my food.

This pillar has been surprisingly helpful. I always thought stuff like meditation or journaling was kind of boring, but I gave it a real chance, and it’s made a big difference. I started with just five minutes a day of either breathing exercises or writing in a journal, and now I’m up to around fifteen minutes. Some days I use an app like Headspace, but other times I just sit quietly and breathe or write about how I’m feeling. It’s helped me stay more calm, especially when things feel stressful. There was one day last week where I had a bunch of stuff going on, and instead of freaking out like I usually would, I just paused, did a breathing exercise, and got through it. That felt like a win. I still have days where I don’t feel like doing it, but I’m always glad when I do.

Sleep is something I didn’t think I needed to fix, but after tracking it for a few days, I realized my sleep habits were kind of all over the place. I used to stay up super late on my phone and then drag myself out of bed in the morning. Since starting this plan, I’ve been going to bed around the same time every night, drinking tea before bed instead of scrolling through TikTok, and using a sleep tracker app to monitor how well I’m actually sleeping. It’s weird, but even just avoiding my phone for half an hour before bed made a big difference. I still had a couple of nights where I slipped up and stayed up too late watching videos, but those nights reminded me why I started this in the first place. Overall, I feel more rested in the morning and less cranky during the day.

This pillar was more about being responsible and getting stuff done. I went through my vaccine records and noticed I was due for a flu shot and a COVID booster. During the first few days of the plan, I scheduled both appointments and marked them on my calendar. I also set reminders for future boosters so I don’t forget. It doesn’t take daily effort like the other goals, but it feels good to know I’m caught up. I’ve always known vaccines were important, but this made me feel more in control of my health in a way I hadn’t thought about before.

I’ve been paying more attention to my choices when it comes to alcohol and safety. I don’t smoke, so that wasn’t a problem, but I’ve been making an effort to limit alcohol to just one drink when I’m out with friends. So far, I’ve stuck to it. I’ve also been really consistent about wearing my seatbelt and helmet, even for short rides or trips when I used to skip it. Every night, I check in with myself and write in a small journal about whether I followed the plan and how I felt. I also started replacing boredom or stress cravings with tea or short walks, and that’s helped more than I expected. It feels like I’m building good habits slowly and not just avoiding bad ones.

This pillar surprised me the most. I didn’t think my environment had that big of an impact on how I felt, but cleaning up my space for just ten minutes a day made a huge difference. I decluttered my desk, cleaned out my closet, and even added a couple of plants to my room. It feels more peaceful now, like a space I actually want to spend time in. I’ve been sorting recycling every Sunday and trying to use less plastic when I can. I took some before and after photos and when I look at them, it’s wild how different everything feels now. A clean room helps me stay focused, and I’ve been more productive and in a better mood overall.
