It's The Big 300!

It's day 300 of documenting 2025.
65 days to 2026!

Wow....I did it!
300 days!
As much as it hasn't been easy for the past few days, I was able to pull through.
I can only thank God 🤗

If you notice, I didn't use the usual countdown poster, because today is a milestone day.
Man! I deserve some cake!
If you want to get me one, make it chocolate 😋

You know, on a normal day....I would be posting this milestone and letting everyone know about it.
This time around, maybe an X tweet would do. Or probably on my WhatsApp status.

Let me do a little reflection here...
A lot has really happened in the last 50 days since my last milestone.
There wasn't any much events...just that a lot has changed since then.

For one, I'm no longer in Lagos.
I also have more than 100 followers on X....and I'm less active on Instagram and Whatsapp.
If only I wasn't so lazy to edit the videos for Instagram, I would probably be consistent in posting.

As for WhatsApp, it's mostly low-key business.
I don't want to attract much attention, especially from people who just want to pry into my affairs.
Those set of people, will ask questions irrelevant to what I post.
I just answer out of courtesy.

This blog has taught me a lot about consistency.
From the initial excitement, to the point where I almost quit....and now, we're 300 days in.
65 days left...and I'll be boasting of the achievement of writing for a whole year.

It's just documenting, but it's still writing.
One important factor that kept me writing is the fact that I wrote about something relatable.
I don't have to to any research, just reflect on experiences and events and write them down.

The main objective here is sticking to something for a very long time....and 365 days is a very long time, if you ask me.

Alright, let's see the highlights for today....and then my take and a few more thoughts.

365 Days With Self-discipline
📌 On Walking

"All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking."
Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Walking is not only a fantastic exercise that almost everybody can perform, but also a powerful way to awaken your creativity and boost your problem-solving skills.

I strongly suggest adding the habit of walking regularly — even if it’s just 15 minutes — to your weekly schedule.

For even better results, pick a route
leading you through natural surroundings or at least away from the hustle and bustle of city living.

I like to take walks with a specific intention in my mind.
For example, I think of a problem I’ve been struggling with recently and dedicate my entire walk to brainstorming potential solutions.

I sometimes listen to important
podcasts when walking because I know that if it weren’t for the walk, I wouldn’t listen to them with as much focus as they deserve.

Don’t underestimate the power of this simple exercise to change your life.

Walking gives you an opportunity to move your body, recharge, reflect, and potentially resolve difficult problems that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to handle in your distracting, day-to-day life.

Just perfect....today's note is about walking.
I enjoy walking.
For me, the best time to take a walk is when the stars are out at night.
Then, I would just say what I want to say to God. He listens everytime.

I like to walk after any meal....I have the idea that it helps with digestion.
Also, I walk when I'm on my phone...working on something or just typing.
It's kinda like a habit now.
There's no disadvantage of ever moving these two feet.
That's what I'll say on this topic.

More thoughts? Let's see 🤔
It's nighttime now....and today consisted of work, rest and God's Word. I didn't go out.
But tomorrow I will...and I hope it goes well.

A friend actually called last night, and pointed out the fact even though I don't check up on them, they would check up on me. How nice! 🙂
It's not that I don't want to call or text to check up...
It's just that I'm going through a transition and I just want to tune into myself.

It's not being selfish, because we all have to be alone sometimes.
Shutting out the world can be helpful in stages like this.
Not just ghosting everyone....just coming out when necessary and going back in.
Like a snail from it's shell 🐌

Activities will start very soon....and I can be as active as I have to be.
That's just how it is for now...

Oh yeah....I haven't mentioned.
My aunt has a baby.
It's a little girl....and I've been helping out with carrying her so my aunt can do other things.
It's actually nice to hold a little human in one's arms....and I can't help but think that I was once like that.
The fragility of early life 🥲

Well, I guess that would be all for today's post.
This ain't the normal blog post, cos I'm just documenting.
Think of it like my own space on the internet, where I can reflect and just....be me. Like my online diary.

Thanks for reading 🎀

I don't hold back on the quirkiness and emotions, I assure you.
