Good afternoon everyone,
Happy Labor Day to those in America, even though labor day is no excuse to rest. I still did my daily run and workout today, it felt great despite the heat and humidity. I finished and I felt amazing, like I had done something today, conquered myself just a little more. Anyway, let me get back on track here. It is extremely important to maintain your personal belongings and make sure that they are in good condition. Not just because they will last longer that way, and you will get more out of them.
Yesterday, I washed my car for the first time since I bought it, inside and out. I felt great, felt accomplished, felt... happy. All I did was take a hour to clean my car, take care of something that is mine. Make sure it is in good condition. Afterwards I took it for a drive, you could have told me that it had 0 miles on it and no one every owned it, I would have believed you. Long story short, something that I thought would seem like an insignificant task turned out to make me feel great, motivated to do more.
Challenge: Find some time to clean, take care of and maintain something that is personal to you. That may be your car, your room, your phone, your laptop... whatever. Just spend some time to really condition it and try to restore it to as close to new as you can. Think about what you are doing and feeling as you go on and try to harness that feeling for later when you have to do it again.
