A Hundred Days Of This - Day 42

First day of 2026 and for the first time I walked down my street while it was snowing. It was freezing cold but boy, was it amazing! Hopefully I get to build a snowman soon. 

For this year, I decided to take it one day at a time and let go of all the things that mess with my mental peace. Yeah, like that is definitely going to happen. Still worth giving it a shot, right?

One thing that I am going to do for sure is dividing both my tasks and feelings into the smallest chunks possible and try to sit down with uncomfortableness. Does not sound fancy, I know. Well, if not now then when? 

Even when I was walking through the slush on the pavement post dinner I kept repeating under my breath - "one step after another" That is all it takes to get to my home that is uphill or even I little hike that my husband is planning to take me along with him. One tiny step after another, one small task after another, one sentence after another, one paragraph after another and page after another. That is all it takes.

It is also important to take a break if you are out of breath. And there is no point in sprinting at a marathon only to give up in the last mile because you are burnt out. So, here is what I am going to ask myself in 2026 - what is the smallest thing that I can do now, or in under 2 minutes that can help me get closer to my goals? That is all it takes.

Remember, do not panic. Because the answer is 42.

And that's Day 42 for you!
