First day of fall. It’s hard to believe another season has passed.
As the morning temperatures continue to drop, it will become less pleasant to go outside in the mornings, and lately I’ve been thinking about the first few months of this project when I was bundling up every morning at the beginning of the year.
This time around, it will be a lot easier. I’m already used to getting up early, I have a solid morning routine established, and each morning I go outside the temperature changes gradually, so I will be eased into it.
In the early days, I needed a lot of encouragement and willpower to keep going, and I am so appreciative to those who have supported me. But now I feel as though I have crossed over to the other side–I have reached the point where willpower is no longer required. It all just happens automatically for me, and I even look forward to it each day.
It’s a great feeling to know that I have come this far and largely overcome some of my personal barriers. Surely this will be tested in the coming months, but it is a challenge for which I feel well-prepared.
