I see so much negativity about 2020 but I'm really excited about it. This is an unprecedented opportunity. In your whole life, when have you had so much time available to improve your life? For people working from home, think of all the time you are getting back on your commute. For people bemoaning the fact they can't go out, think how much time you have to do pushups, or learn a language, or finally figure out how to moonwalk, or finally understand what your teenage daughter is talking about, or lose that weight or do some yoga and see if it helps with that weird thing you have been feeling that you don't talk about.
This is the thread to discuss the things we are doing and to commit to some goals together.
In the otis fad diet thread, a bunch of us have committed to things like tracking calories, doing 30 hours of exercise in 30 days of November, doing 30 days of Yoga with Adriene (free YouTube yoga practices that are highly recommended) and more.
Right now my goals are to help my autistic son be able to fully participate in class with his typically developing peers, improve my marriage, get my house ready to sell, do 100 consecutive pushups in one set, do my first pull up since I was a kid, do 60 minutes of activity every day in November, run a 26 minute 5k, improve my career, draw better and finally start writing. And flossing. Please don't tell my dentist but I still suck at flossing.
I didn't have all of these goals in 2018. I was bored, unhappy and unmotivated. I started with one goal, losing my gut, and then slowly added things to the list. I was never the guy you would follow to an exercise program. But I'm finally taking things seriously and this pandemic has put me in the position to make lemons into lemonade. It's probably doing the same for you.
Let's work together in this thread to make our lives better. Commit to something and be accountable to each other. Listen to what I'm doing and others are doing and follow along. Try a 30 day challenge that matches your goals. Do something outside your comfort zone.
Let's make the rest of 2020 and 2021 the best we can under the circumstances so we can be proud of the version of us that emerges when things finally maybe hopefully go back to normal.
