Day 135: Strangely Productive

I spent most of the day on school assignments, including making an introduction video for my internship class, which is not my favorite thing to do. There have been some classes where I did not even do the introduction video and just took a zero because I did not want to complete it. So, the fact that I recorded it, finished it, and sent it in felt good. I was proud of myself.

It is funny how something as small as recording myself can feel like such a hurdle, especially when I am used to recording myself in so many other ways. I make videos. I lip sync. I practice. I'm on camera all the time now, but school videos feel different. More structured. More exposed in a different way… and then, after all that resistance, it only took a few minutes. It was not even that bad. Now it is done, and I feel better because of it.

That really got me thinking about this discipline issue of mine. Getting things organized, following whatever schedule I come up with, and really disciplining myself regardless of how I feel is a very big deal to me right now. It is one of my biggest goals. Not just thinking about what needs to be done. Doing it. Not just waiting until motivation shows up. Moving anyway…

Quiet Part Day 135: Anything I truly put my mind to has a way of becoming mine. Even the losses have a strange way of handing me something I did not know I needed. Maybe that is why I keep trusting the madness. It keeps turning me into someone who can hold more.
