It’s cathartic, cleansing my mind.
I did not post anything yesterday, but I found out something invaluable.
It’s not writing on the blog that makes a difference, but writing in general.
I had a few articles I needed to write for a freelance client of mine, that had nothing to do with me, or my life. But just writing them gave me a sense of calm and achievement. I am thinking of changing my goal from writing on this blog each day, to writing in general every day.
Posting on the blog is supplementary. I am not sure when I’ll go public with this blog and show on my socials, because until then I’m not sure if this counts anything more than just writing a journal entry.
I have been going to the gym first thing in the morning since two days (counting today), and it’s getting so enjoyable. Especially the cycling to and back. The calming morning breeze hitting my face as I pedal on. The lack of traffic in the early hours of the day, and the golden hour’s sunlight striking my body.
There’s something so therapeutic about having an early start to the day, getting morning sunlight, and just getting your body moving. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to mirror the same routine when I move back to Karachi.
The gym closest to my house opens around 7AM, and that’s too late to get a proper workout in and get to my university in time. Maybe I could at least go for a run in the park right after Fajr. I really look forward to doing it, but let’s see where life takes us.
A few days left in vacations, but I’m so glad to be back in the groove since a couple of days. Let’s see if it’s sustainable.
