The Modern Day Caveman

They say “the first step is the hardest,” but honestly, if that’s the case, the next 364 days should be a breeze.

Day 1 was a clear, positive step in the right direction. While it was a standard working Wednesday by any measure, it was productive. Work was efficient, I posted a few things I sold on eBay, ate fairly healthy and I maintained a positive attitude throughout the day.

Crucially, I completed my 7km walk to The Mountain Ahead, officially marking the first instalment of my new daily routine.

The air was crisp, the route familiar, but this time it felt different, like I was finally moving toward something instead of away from it. Mentally, I felt strong and steady

I turned up, got the job done, and put down one solid page in the novel.
