I have been liberated, from two months of living under fear, worry and despair. And I feel alive. I can finally carry on with my life and work towards all the goals that I hold in 2017 and beyond. There are basically three main aspects with which I seek to make improvements in, they being physical, mental and spiritual.
Physically, I hope to hit these records within 2017. 2.5x bodyweight deadlift, 0.5x weighted pullups, 0.7x weighted dips, achieve a handstand as well as being able to do my first handstand push-up. These are all very lofty goals, no doubt. But I think with a methodical and systematic approach, these goals are actually realistic. I will definitely come back at the end of 2017 we will come back to review how many of these we have achieved.
On the mental front, I would like to get more well read. I came across this list which I think is very much in line with the direction I would like my life to head in. I'm hoping to be 50% done with this list by the end of 2017. Even before this list, I have already been making an effort to introduce more books and reading to my life from about a year ago. Some genres of books that I'm preferential towards have been in the fields of psychology, economics, neuroscience for the layperson, biographies of people I admire as well as politics and philosophy.
Spiritually, I'd like to make strides in distilling my life's philosophy and that means making progress with asking the right questions that drives behavior to improve my life, as well as to be more in touch with my inner self. I see myself doing this by practicing more mindfulness and meditation, as well as reading more philosophical works which ties in with the reading aspect as mentioned above.
It's going to be a busy year indeed, I've got my work cut out for me. And that is exactly how I like it, getting better everyday and doing the things necessary to realize the best version of myself. With that, peace out and have a good day everyone.
