My Radical Redirection To Change My Life in the Next 6 Months
<p>I’ve been at war with life for some time.</p>
<p>The morning routine (the one I’ve been perfecting for 6 days straight) gets its first outing and disaster strikes: I sleep in. I’m mortified. The feeling bleeds into the day.</p>
<p>Another example of me failing at this life thing. First, it was the running habit that lasted 4 days, then it was the morning routine that never took off, and then it was the business that never worked.</p>
<p>All signs were leading to one obvious fact: I was a failure.</p>
<h1>Fighting life</h1>
<p>For most of my life, I’ve been at war with life.</p>
<p>When things don’t work out, I throw my hands up, my cortisol levels go through the roof, and I’m kicking and screaming like a toddler.</p>
<p>I’d feel low, get the flu, feel exhausted and it was a cocktail for self-deprecation.</p>
<p><em>What is wrong with me?</em></p>
<p><em>Why does this happen to me?</em></p>
<p><em>How come I can’t be the person I want to be?</em></p>
<p>Those were the conversations I had in my head for the longest time. Over and over. Of course, I’d never reach an answer. In many ways, they weren’t questions, they were statements.</p>
<p>The statements of my life.</p>
<h1>Discipline, perfectionism and a dose of reality</h1>
<p>I’ve probably told you this but I tried to wake up at 5 am for a while.</p>
<p>It was in aspirations to be the best version of me, write 16 times more than I was at the time and become a New York Times Bestseller. Funny, none of those things happened. <em>Must have been because I never stuck to that morning routine.</em></p>
