My favourite physical activities are swimming and walking my dog. I used to think I was cheating my dog when I missed her walks, but I have now realized that I wasn’t only cheating her — I was also cheating myself. Those morning walks with my dog help me get some steps in, which is really important for someone who sits while working or works from home. Now when I see my little dog’s face saying, “Let’s go already,” I also think to myself: yes, let’s go — We both deserve to go outside and get some fresh air.
Swimming is amazing because I love the water, but I always have to schedule it around my wash day. As a Black woman, it’s hard to go swimming every day because black hair is dry. Well, at least mine is. so swimming daily would probably damage my hair. I’ve figured out a routine that works: if I go swimming on Saturday night, I put in some leave-in conditioner and then I don’t wash my hair until Sunday afternoon. this allows me to go swimming twice a week and after my second swim I can just wash my hair and reset for the next week.
My biggest challenge is consistency in blogging and podcasting. I have been a lot better at releasing the podcast but I am still not where I should be with preparation of the material I discuss.
When I’m reading I’m always looking for content that may be interesting but it takes the fun out of reading because it feels like everything thing is work.
With blogging I have many ideas but the time to put them down, edit and finalize just always seems to evade me.
With video content I have soo much content recorded, which I will periodically watch but I never do anything with it. I don’t know if it’s that I need better tools or maybe in this new year I need to actively set aside time for blogging, video creation and podcast ideation sessions.
I think another challenge is constantly being told or wondering am I creating good content or would my time be better spent binge watching something that someone else created.
