So now it begins for real. The countdown until I’m finally off to Mexico. Everything that needs to be taken care of will be taken care of this week. I have no extra training to do ahead for I have finished all of it already. All that remains are normal days for me. Well I do have 9 pages on the typewriter that I need to get ahead of but that can be done in moderation. Over time I just need to do an extra page a day for the next 9 days. That shouldn’t be too hard. Especially if starting tomorrow I get myself back in to the gym before work like I was doing. Circumstances made it so that wasn’t possible for me the last week or so but I have nothing impeding me from returning to it this week. Nothing but my own mind. That I know I have control over. If I say I’ll do it then I’ll do it. So I’ll say it now, I will do it.
The week ahead feels manageable now. Every piece falling into place, all the work that needed doing has been done. What lies ahead is simply keeping pace with the plan. It’s funny how much easier things seem when you’re not under pressure. There’s a calmness in knowing that you’ve already handled the toughest parts. All that’s left now is showing up and executing. Each day is an opportunity to lock in those habits and prove to yourself once again that when you set your mind to something, it gets done. There’s no rush, no panic, just steady progress.
Tomorrow is the start of getting back into rhythm, back into the gym before the day even begins. It’s strange how the hardest part is just starting again, getting the wheels turning. But I’ve been here before, and I’ve beaten this before. The moment you get back in, the rest follows. It’s just the first push that requires effort, and once the momentum starts, the rest feels natural. And with the typewriter, just one page at a time—easy enough to manage over the next nine days. The key is to keep it simple and consistent.
I can already see myself easing into this new rhythm. Mexico is around the corner, and with each day, it feels more real. It’s not just about getting the work done but also preparing mentally for the break. This week isn’t about burning out; it’s about maintaining balance. It’s about showing that I can control my pace, push when necessary, and ease off when it’s time. The countdown is on, and with each step, I’m proving to myself that I’m ready for whatever comes next. The mind is strong, and as long as I stay focused, nothing can get in my way.
