Cherish the 0 to 0.1.

Today is the second day of my expedition, and it is already time to head home. I decided to write this blog post during this time.
I believe that making use of time in this way—doing what you can when you can—is actually not an easy thing to do. Even I am only able to write this blog because it has become a habit; otherwise, it would be more common to spend this time playing games or watching videos.
Although it may seem contradictory to start a story like this, when you receive guidance or advice during an expedition like this, it is not easy to actually put those actions into practice if they are things you do not normally do. Even if you consider something to be a matter of course, if you are not doing it as a matter of course, then that 'obvious' thing is not actually obvious to you. That is why it is difficult to do.
To someone who does it naturally, it is normal, so they would think it is only natural to be able to do it. However, for someone who cannot, it is often quite difficult. For example, someone who can play tennis naturally will not get muscle pain the next day, but for someone who has never done it, they will tense up their whole body, be out of breath in minutes, sweat profusely, and be incredibly sore the next day. If you told them to do that every day, they could not. To someone for whom it is natural, they can do it every day without getting muscle pain; they might even feel uncomfortable if they cannot do it because of rain or something. That is how big the gap is between those for whom it is natural and those for whom it is not.
That is why it is necessary to make it a habit, but I think it is important to first praise yourself for the day you actually did it. It is almost impossible for someone who cannot do something to go from 0 to 10. If you can do 1, or even just 0.1, you should praise yourself. It is the same as a baby learning to stand, and then repeating that process. That is how it continues and eventually becomes a matter of course.
Because time moves so dizzyingly fast for us, we tend to demand results because we are busy. However, contrary to our environment, human ability does not improve that quickly. That is precisely why I believe we must cherish that first step.
