September update

    

🌟 September 2025 – Monthly Goal Review

Taking the thrown lemons and turning them in pickles

🎯 Personal Goals

  • Don’t die or have near-death experiences
    ✅ I managed to keep myself safe with insane travel, so i consider this done.

  • Enjoy one solo dinner per month
    ❌ I missed this one in September

  • Meditate 10 min on 15 days/month
    ❌ This is still pending

  • Avoid writing to acquaintances <6 months; write 2 letters to self
    first part is done, the next part is where i need to work on

  • Take at least 5 photos/week
    I took a few pictures, but i have also observed that i almost don't like taking pictures, if i try to do it making myself push for it, I miss out on the joy of moment. In a choice between being in moment and recording present for when it becomes my past, i would choose the former anyday.

  • Limit cheat meals (samosa, biryani, gol gappas) to 1×/week
    I don't even recall what all i ate, it has definetly been haywire. I want to improve a lot on, i have started taking on vitamin d supplements, maybe being at home this month helps. i am counting on it.

🏋️‍♂️ Logging Goals

🏋️‍♂️ Gym 4×/week

2 gym days, I have been irregular as well as my health needed some help. I think the rest was needed but, i also think i had been indesciplined, partly both. I would like to be regular again, as that helps me be confident, and feel good. I would restart again, the doctor also asked me to compulsorily include it everyday as well.

💪 Pushups/Situps/Planks (Weekly target: 100 pushups, 100 situps, 15 min planks)

No push ups, and no planks. I am guility as pleaded😓😓


📱 Screen Time – Goal: Max 2.5 hrs/day

 An average of 4 hours and 42 minutes

However this is the data of only 8 days, i will fix this one
