Why Create For 30 Days Straight
A deeper look into why the heck I am still doing this right now
When you forget why you commit to something, come back to your why.
I’m 25 days deep into a 30-day writing journey, and I remind myself why every day.
In this last week, I face the ultimate test. Can I do it? Will I do it?
To the first question, yes. To the second question, I need to dive deeper.
I need to break down my why; what I told myself on Day 1.
#1 — To show myself it can be done, not just by anyone, but by me
By Day 25, I know I can do it. That doesn’t mean I need or want to. It’s ego-driven at this point. I’m still showing up so my ego can rest knowing I committed till the end.
At this stage in the game, I don’t believe anyone should do anything every day for 30 days other than the basics of existing like shower, eat, and sleep.
Specifically, I’d opt out of an activity as emotionally and intellectually demanding as creativity. Creating something from scratch, from 0 to 1, exposing your soul for all to witness as you go.
