Definition: balls are goals that I defined, and am practicing as part of my life.

Here is an update:

So I’m dropping balls and trying to practice consistency. But now I realize that I deserve more than just basics. It’s ok for me to excel. For the longest time I was in survival mode that “elevating my goals”, “defining and actively pursuing my true happiness” were beyond me.

So now, I’m obviously not germinating anymore. I’m growing and thriving, and that’s what been doing the past 70+ days. My practice (even if it isn’t perfect) is getting a little stagnant. Routine can be helpful but it can also suck. Maybe that’s a sign that I’ve made space for more.

So now, for the next 75 days I’m elevating my current goals.

0. Happy: this is a true elevated goal because it’s something that I wasn’t even focusing on at all, during my first 70 days. I want to define happiness (micro, macro) and live my life doing exactly that! It involves pleasure, contentment, community, joy, laughter, smiles. I’m going to name something and do it.

1. Beauty: self love. When I love myself, it’s easier to maintain my outward self care and my inner glow.

2. Wealth: learn to damage control (such as returning things, or putting in JIT when possible, or picking up your ball and re-budgeting)

3. Health: staying true to my sleep rule. In health this is the foundation upon which all my goals rely on. So I have to spend some time reflecting on how to curb my appetite to mindlessly stay up. It’s a Vice.

4. Thriving: the fact that I’m elevating my goals means I’m thriving!

Hobi.

Throughout all of these is self love. Namjoon says he doesn’t know how to love himself until now. I’m still learning too. I’m learning that I eventually need to weave in self love to all my goals. Even if it’s so hard to do, because right now I’m in the stage of “practicing change”.

That’s a truly elevated goal. It’s momentous. But I’ll get there through baby steps.

Hobi and all!
