i'm doing this challenge to primarily change my lifestyle and become the best version of myself in a sustainable manner. for that, I decided to combine the two challenges and even add a few new goals.
the 75 soft challenge is not too challenging for me, but the 75 hard one might be a little bit too challenging for me right now to do consistently. also, I wanted to add a few other rules to integrate the challenge more into becoming the best version of myself.
🌷 rules: you can read the original rules here
🌷 my rules:
♡ eat well & no drinking alcohol.
eating a balanced diet, with no restrictions or limits because
i struggled with eds in the past and i dont want to slip back
that.
♡ drink 3,5 liters per day.
the majority will be water, i'll be also consuming teas for
their health benefits.
♡ two 45 minutes workouts per day, one must be outside.
but i can take a rest day on the heaviest day of my period.
♡ 10 pages of nonfiction reading per day.
since the start of 2024 i've been reading daily:
- 365 days with self-discipline by martin meadows
- the daily stoic by ryan holiday
in addition to that, the following books are on my tbr:
- the power of now by eckhart tolle
- mindset: the new psychology of success by carol s. dweck
(276 pages)
- breaking the habit of being yourself by dr. joe dispenza
(329 pages)
- why has nobody told me this before? by julie smith
(368 pages)
- burnout: the secret to unlocking the stress cycle
by emily nagosaki (227 pages)
- atomic habits by james clear (319 pages)
♡ take a progress picture everyday.
- which i won't be posting online!
♡ spend atleast 30 mins per day on a hobby.
- i want to restart studying korean and start learning
how to code.
♡ no procrastination.
- that is probably my biggest flaw. i procrastinate way to much
and even put myself in awful situations that could have been
easily avoided.
♡ if i fail one habit, i have to restart the challenge!
thinking of doing the 75 soft/hard challenge starting july 1st.
anyone interested in joining for some accountability?

yayy. this is my actual first post. i'm actually kind of excited for that. but i'm also very nervous. in all my years on the internet, i was never someone who posted stuff online. but i want to challenge myself to get outside of my comfort zone.
this coincidentally that fits right into my plans to glow up. for a while now, i feel kind of stuck and unhappy with my life. and i want to change that by having a glow up. i don't really have a concrete plan right now, but i will post one soon.
🌷 what i accomplished
♡ completed all my habits
♡ washed and dried two loads of laundry
♡ posted a few organisational posts on here
♡ studied for my upcoming exams
♡ meal prepped for the weekend
♡ had a nice call with a friend
🌷 improvements i could have made
♡ i did a lot of stuff today, but maybe i did too much.
🌷habits
i updated my habits ✓
notes: yes, i know i have a lot of habits i'm working on. please keep in mind that i do most of them for a while, but haven't been consistent thats why i am still tracking them.

dear diary,
today i went the last time for this semester to my classes because exams are soon, therefore my friends and i spontaneously planned to drive to the beach (~5h away) just for the weekend. soo, i can't promise that my updates are published daily, but i'll try my best.
🌷 what i accomplished
♡ day 5/75 completed

♡ non fictional book: the power of now by eckhart tolle (~90%) ♡ favorite song of the day: hot mess by aespa
dear diary,
i still haven't really figured out what i want to write in these diary entries. should i summarize my day? should i write down my feelings? does it really matter? i dont know, but i kind of want it to be consistent? that might be one of my quirks? i need stuff to be structured and consistent or else i feel kind of overwhelmed.
anyways, today wasn't as chaotic as yesterday, which is a win. however today also wasn't really memorable. (besides starting playing palia. i'm going to be obsessed with it. new completed_to_do_list_reward-unlocked 😂)
🌷 what i accomplished
♡ day 4/75 completed
♡ studied a lot
♡ went to my classes
♡ played with a friend palia
🌷 improvements i could have made
♡ i shouldn't have started playing palia. i'm gonna be obsessed with it!
