Day 36

Today I woke up a bit early. I wanted to be up at 6am but overslept by an hour 😅. Still early though, so no guilt. I started the morning with some React concepts I need for the new website I’m planning. After I was done, I took breakfast and headed straight into my solo session.

Today’s session was more instinctual than structured. I didn’t follow my usual system. I just flowed. Five minutes on L-drags, two minutes on V-drags, random turns and shifts — pure chaos 😂. But the funny thing is, I finished tired and happy. The sun wore me out ☀️, but the improvement I felt made it worth it.

Still, I know one thing: progress only matters if I can translate it to the pitch. All of this is only to shine in those 90 minutes. That’s the difference that matters.

After the session, I decided to plan my month. It’s already a new month and I hadn’t written my goals yet. Didn’t take long though — my goals are very specific these days 🎯. Then, like clockwork, I doomscrolled for a while 😭. Luckily, the power outage saved me. I stretched for a bit and then worked out.

Let me be honest — I was so demotivated today. I didn’t feel like training at all. It’s true what they say: your mind is the biggest obstacle. I still forced a 10-minute workout because momentum doesn’t build itself. Even a small effort matters.

Around 3pm, we started preparing a traditional meal. We had to use firewood because those legumes take forever 😂🔥. At around 5:30, I went to play street football with my friends. Couldn’t go to team training since I still don’t have boots — remember, I sold them a few days ago.

But today… I played well.
Nutmegged my boy Stanley — clean.
I think my prime is quietly returning 😌✨

However, I injured my big toe again 🙄. Why is it always the part that’s not yet healed that gets hit? Anyway, after that, I came home, showered, and now I’m here writing this.

That’s it for today guys.
Have a good one.
