Today is one of those days when it's not a weekend but my productivity is worse than it on weekends. Had a massive headache in the morning so got very little work done. Dreading to write this, and if the writing group and the accountability didn't exist then I am sure I would have given up and 100% not have written a word today. (I did not work out today because I wasn't being held accountable, fitness group anyone?)

Such days make me realise so much of life is just showing up day in and day out. Matters very less on the level of performance. Sometimes showing up daily is all it takes.

More I think of this more it feels, my headache got better during the day than it was in the morning but my mind and body had decided in the morning itself that "Oh no, got a headache. looks like no work will be accomplished today" So even though later the headache was gone, I was still in the same state of thinking my day as over.

Writing this essay reminds me that the first step is the toughest. The toughest part was opening up notion and creating a new page. Once I started writing, thoughts started flowing and well look it's almost over. I think this can be said about most things too. If I would have reached the gym, I am sure I would have worked out for the full hour. If I would have opened the book, I am sure I wouldn't have stopped for 30 minutes easily.

Showing up daily > Performing at peak?
