Personal Growth: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” - Rummi

Hello everyone,

Phew! It's been a week with mixed emotions. I can't say it was a bad week nor can I praise the week. If you follow me, you would know I cherish my mental health and I hate being sad or worried. While it's true that these things can't be controlled, I try to put myself in situations where I can remain positive and stay happy. In my 22 years of existence, I've learned to stop worrying over what I can't control.

I've been a buzzy bee on the chain for three straight weeks making at least one post every day and for a while now I've been writing my progress on self-development as a post. These write-ups help me to express my feelings, get opinions and most importantly stay disciplined.

It might see me give away alot of informations
about my life, But I'm totally okay with that as i feel this things sre important to my growth.

Personal Growth: Taking it One Step at a Time

In today's post, I want to share some updates on my growth process and express how I feel about certain things.

Hive

I've said so many times that Hive is one of the key parts of my life. Flashback to months ago when I thought I lost it all, It was here I got the most support financially and mentally. I have successfully built relationships I probably would never get in physical meetings. With that being said, Hive is a key factor in my growth process so I've tried to improve here. I know stake-wise, I haven't been doing as I planned due to many things on my table, however, hopefully in 3-4 weeks' time everything would be sorted and I can build again. It sucks, trust me, to have gone from over a 1000HP down to less than 500HP. I'm sure It would get better from here. I'm hopeful.

Another thing that I'm sure my followers have noticed has been my active onboarding. Honestly, I've tried to ignore that part for so long but right now I've taken the bull by the horn. So far, it's been difficult. I never knew teaching how Hive works to other people can be so complicated. Thankfully I've got support to help this newbie thus making my work easier.

I look forward to seeing new users grow and develop here. It makes me happy when I check their activities and notice how active they are already. The support also has been massive. I
hope no one compares Hive to Steem anymore :)

Eating/ Sleeping Habits

I've made a post separately for these two but yet I still have poor eating habits and very terrible sleeping habits.

I stay alone and I've been finding it difficult to get food. I think bad sleeping habits play a role because I usually sleep very late, wake up and start to write. I don't eat till I'm done and most time it's already midday!

For example, if I'm writing this post at 2 am, I'd not sleep till dawn, and when I do, I would start my day very late.

you might ask, Why don't I sleep early?

The answer is "I don't know" - I think it's just part of me, It's BAD, it's UGLY... The only solution I have right now is to get a job, something that would compel me to sleep early.

Just like I explained in my first post, I look forward to resuming chess coaching sessions. I could start with online sessions for now and later start offline. I have a company I work with and @iammanythings1 would be ready to place me with available students when I'm ready.

Either way, I hope to start sleeping early, Forcefully or not.

My Eating habits are a result of starting the day late however, that isn't the only reason. I find it difficult and expensive to cook a proper meal all the time. So every day, I end up buying cheap meals.

Not only do I eat late, but sometimes I don't eat healthy meals. Everyone I tell this advises me to have a partner that can be on the watch. In fact, That's the most common advice I've gotten throughout the year. It is understandable because I relied heavily on my Mom, so now that she's gone, it's only logical that a female figure in my life might help fix some things.

Well, I look forward to opinions from anyone who reads past these words. How do I curb my bad eating and sleeping habits?

In Conclusion...

Last time, I talked about trying to keep up with writing daily which I've been doing well. I also talked about the Hive-Naija engagement and how much I want it to grow. I'm so happy that alot of Nigerians feel free chatting with each other every week. Over 600+ comments make me happy and fulfilled as that was the goal when the initiative started over 35 weeks ago.

Today, I narrowed my development to Hive and my concerned habits. The GOOD has been Hive and how much I've been able to grow in 1 year. The BAD & THE UGLY has been my terrible habits.
