Aki Project Day 5: 50 Days Remaining. Making it a 50 Days Without Regrets.
# Aki Project Day 5
## 50 days remaining. Making it a 50 days without regrets.
Hello, this is Aki.
Aki Project Day 5.
There are 50 days left until my 60th birthday.
We have finally passed the halfway mark.
"There are still 50 days left."
One could think of it that way.
But I am thinking,
**"There are only 50 days left."**
That is how I see it.
Life is a accumulation of each day.
Therefore, I believe that how I spend these 50 days will change the person I am when I turn 60.
Today, I would like to write down that determination.
First, here is today's record.
・Weight: 69.0kg (no change)
・Blood glucose level within target range: 92%
Studies went well today too.
・English
・Korean
・Chinese
・Portuguese
I am also continuing my training.
・Stretching
・Squats
・Ab roller
My weight did not change.
In the past, I might have felt discouraged, thinking,
"It didn't change..."
But now it is different.
There is no point in judging based on a single day.
If I have moved forward even a little from yesterday, that is enough.
I have learned something since I developed diabetes.
Health is not something you achieve in a single day.
Daily meals.
Daily exercise.
Daily sleep.
Daily accumulation.
It is something that changes little by little as a result of that.
That is why I value the fact that I kept going today more than today's numbers.
And today, I have made a new decision.
**Read one book every day.**
Books are filled with lives I have not experienced.
Successful people.
People who failed.
What they learned over decades is summarized in one book.
There is no reason not to read.
One book a day.
It is not easy.
But if I continue for 50 days, that is 50 books.
If I read 50 books, I should have a different way of thinking than I do now.
One more thing.
**Create a video every day.**
We are in the age of AI.
The ability to write is important.
But I believe the ability to communicate through video is just as important.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't go well at first.
One video.
Then another.
I believe that by accumulating them every day, I will definitely grow.
And what I am incorporating into this project is,
**Monk Mode.**
Monk Mode is a time to focus only on what is necessary for me.
Mindlessly looking at my smartphone.
Browsing social media without a purpose.
Watching videos aimlessly.
I will reduce that time as much as possible.
I will use that time for:
Studying.
Reading.
Creating videos.
Gathering information.
Preparing for a low-carb restaurant.
Using time only for things that lead to the future.
That is this Monk Mode.
Of course, I won't be keeping myself on edge all the time.
I will rest when I need to.
But I want to avoid having a day just end aimlessly.
There are only 50 days.
Each and every day is very precious.
I will write down again what I will continue every day for this Aki Project.
・Blood glucose management
・Stretching
・Squats
・Ab roller
・English
・Korean
・Chinese
・Portuguese
・Read one book every day
・Create a video every day
・Monk Mode
・Gathering information
・Preparing for a low-carb restaurant
・Cleaning the room
None of these are special.
But I believe that each one of these will build my future self.
August 28th.
My 60th birthday.
On that day,
"I'm glad I took on that challenge seriously for those 50 days."
I want to be someone who can say that with pride.
I don't know what the results will be.
But I don't want to have any regrets about not trying.
You only live once.
That is why I will run these 50 days with all my might.
Making it a 50 days without regrets.
With that determination, I will continue to build up tomorrow as well.
