Stickied good luck.
Language, chess, still working on State and Revolution. Ran a 10k this weekend and last. 2 weeks to the trail 1/2 so I need to get in a 15+ mile run in the next week.
You’ve got this, comrades!
i crashed and burned hard and had a whole Mental Health™ month, drank a bunch, now i’m sober again and will crawl my way back to sobriety now that i have actual meds
My week wasn’t great in terms of mood but I managed to make some progress. I went running on 3 days in a row. Practiced meditation on 5 days in a row. Did some reading on a few days.
These three habits are now my pillars and it is something that I strive for every week. I invite everybody to take The Moonlake Challenge - every day from Monday to Friday:
- Run for 10 minutes
- Meditate for 10 minutes
- Read for 10 minutes (before sleep)
It’s only 30 minutes total per day so it’s something that I can sustain long-term. After many years of self-improvement, I think these habits are the best bang for your buck. Maximum results for minimum effort.
I frame it as a challenge since it’s more fun that way but it’s just something to strive towards, it’s not reasonable to expect the 15/15 score every week. Let me know if anybody attempts it
