Mystery Gift Box #033 | Personal Accountability Leads to Self-Respect and Self-Love
The best hidden gems I've found; interesting ideas and concepts, thought-provoking questions, mind-blowing books/podcasts, cool animes/films, and other mysteries ❤️
Hey friends,
It’s 11:20pm on a Sunday.
I just came home from an incredible day of happiness and love 🥰 Yet, I still have two “non-negotiables” to complete for the day; cold plunge and writing and publishing this newsletter. It’s sooooo hard for me to skip a day yet with this little time left of the day, I wonder what I can do to complete these two non-negotiables on time…
The art of just showing up.
For cold plunge, I did 5 minutes @ 15 degrees instead of my usual 7 - 10 minutes @ 9 - 10 degrees. And FYI, cold plunge @ 15 degrees felt so easy which it’s fucking awesome because my first cold plunge was at 15 degrees and I was only able to last 2 minutes…
For this newsletter, I am writing a short one to highlight one of my core principles…
Personal accountability.
No one would know if I miss a day of cold plunge or any of the habits that I have… literally no one… the only person that would know is myself. And that’s important because keeping myself accountable to the promises and commitments is the key to self-respect and self-love. I know I can trust myself when it comes to getting shit done and protecting myself.
It’s how I develop strong faith in myself.
P.S. Look, I could go down the compassionate route too and finding the balance between the two principles is something I am still working on and interested to learn more about… but hey it’s 11:56pm and I only have 4 minutes left to finish and publish this newsletter so I will save the topic for another day ❤️
