Swami Vivekananda once said, rise, awake, and stop not until the goal is reached. That line has stayed with me through this first week.
Looking back at these seven days, health reports, listing my habits, dropping coffee for chia and halim seeds, sitting with my fear, picking up a daily reading habit, and finally asking myself why I hadn't changed sooner, I can see how much ground has actually been covered.
But I'm not stopping at reflection. Starting today, I'm making one more promise to myself: exercise and yoga.
I don't know yet how consistent I'll be with it. But rising and continuing, even imperfectly, is the whole point.
