[Morning Activity Note] Stacking 1% Again Today

Good morning, everyone in the morning activity community.
"Action" x "Consistency" x "Enjoyment"person, Gussan here.

We have reached Wednesday morning.
We are already halfway through the week.

There are some sunny spells this morning,
but the forecast calls for rain through the weekend.
And, the forecast is for clear skies from the start of next week.

Is the rainy season finally ending?

Even the sunny spells I see now
have a touch of summer to them.

Surely, the rainy season will end by next week.

I hope that my gloomy feelings
will clear up
as the end of the rainy season approaches.

Alright! To have a fulfilling day today,
let's decide what needs to be done and finish it steadily.

With that said, today's post is titled "Stacking 1% Again Today".

Recently, my motivation, which had dropped significantly, has been recovering little by little.

The reason I was able to turn my declining motivation upward
is because I changed my mindset to "let's stack 1% at a time."I have to do this.

I have to do that.
Driven by these feelings, eventually I started thinking,

I haven't done this.

I haven't done that.
It became a vicious cycle of losing motivation.

The thought that I have to do something! just made my feelings spin in circles.
These thoughts raced through my head, and I had zero mental breathing room.
Even though I usually emphasize that mental and temporal breathing room are important, I was panicking because I couldn't recover well.

Simply put, live today to the fullest.

When I was feeling anxious, I was thinking too much about the near future, and my head was about to explode.
So, I decided to focus simply on what I need to do today.
Here are four things I was particularly conscious of while doing that.

①If you can complete 2-3 priority tasks, that's a gold star.

Decide on two or three things to do in a day and make sure to complete them.
By clarifying what needs to be done, my focus stopped being scattered.

②Let's do 5 minutes of helping others.

When you don't have breathing room, you lose your smile and the capacity to look at those around you.
So,I spent my time with the mindset of "let's try to do something helpful for someone for just 5 minutes."If someone is in trouble and it looks like I can solve it within 5 minutes, I'll try.

By living with that awareness, mental breathing room naturally emerges.
③

Forgive and accept your weak self.

By accepting your weak parts and your flawed partsas part of yourself, your feelings will gradually become more positive.
④

Let's move our bodies even a little from the morning.Partly because it's a season with a lot of rain,

not being able to go for morning walks or runs was also a cause of my poor condition.
On rainy mornings, I switch to stretching or home workouts,

and by making time to move my body even a little, I feel refreshed and can start the day well.


Simple is best.If you think too much about the past or the future, your head will explode.

When your head explodes, the time you spend with your thoughts stopped increases.
The longer your thoughts are stopped,

the more you are struck by the feeling that what you have built up is crumbling.


Just 1% is enough.It's fine if you can stack just 1% more than yesterday.

Having this mindset makes things much easier.
In a long life, even if there are twists and turns, as long as you don't lose sight of your goal

and can stack 1%, you can continue to grow.
Toward the ideal image you want to be,
let's stack just 1% again today.That's all for today.

Thank you for always reading.

Lastly, as an introduction, I have turned the spin-off series of the morning activity note into a magazine. There are currently 9 articles, but it is planned to reach 12 in the end.

And, season 2 will start next month.

The spin-off magazine also has insights and lessons scattered throughout the free sections,
so please take a look at least at the free sections.
Also, if you are going to purchase 4 or more individually, the magazine is a better deal.
