DAY 100, 10/8/2023, Sunday

I always wanted to have enough passive income, than what? I would have more time to travel and do the things I want, but this does not mean that I want a not-displined life. What is the minimum amount of discipline/work I'll do everyday for the rest of my life? I will def still go to the gym, work for a set amount of time like one or two hours.

Anyways, reflecting on this journaling experience. Day 100 is actually kinda crazy. Say if I can live 70 more years, that is only 250 more 100 days. Now that's crazy.

From now on, I will continue to journal, but I won't post everyday. A lotta time I just don't have these epiphany moments and really don't have much to write about beside simply recording what I do in the day, but I want to post actual meaningful contents that reflect my current state of mind. So I’ll keep posting just not everyday.

And this account will probably just be my self improvement account and I will start posting videos of me practicing public speaking(like I said two days ago) and every now and then I’ll also post actual self improvement contents like the one I posted on TikTok.

Overall I am super grateful for this experience. I learnt a lot about how to improve myself, and gained a more comprehensive understanding of who I am. I experienced a grinding stage, a slacking off stage, an enjoying life stage, etc.. My favorite thing from this journaling experience is that it helped me understand that there is a balance to everything and the key is to find the balance. I also loved how I feel like now I am more capable to live in the moment. Ugh there’s a lot of things I liked from the journal, I won’t go through them one by one, but anyways overall I improved a lot, and there’s still a long way to go! by @alexjournaling

> Learn to detach from my past identity

I am afraid of commitment.

I sometimes am afraid to be transparent because I don't want to admit the things that I did to certain people and/or am afraid to make the commitment to detach and change from my previous identity. I am afraid that if I criticize what I did before and do the same thing again, I will feel super guilty. Usually, I feel protective of what I did before and would try to justify my actions, yet sometimes what I did really isn't the best thing to do and I should learn to detach and by doing so become a better version of myself.

It sounds so bad - I did not do anything particularly bad lol, this is just a general statement.

Also I feel like, as I wrote several weeks ago I want to "enjoy life", now sometimes I just use it as an excuse to not do stuff, and I need to change that. I do have to enjoy life and not care too much about the restrictions I set for myself, but at the same time, I still have to put in consistent work to achieve results which is also what I want.

So I guess instead of to enjoy life, a better phrase would be to enjoy the journey.

I am grateful for realizing that exercising helps me fall asleep. I am grateful for all the good music. I am grateful to friends who I can share my inspiration with. Today's SAT is interesting because there are no historical passages in it. by @alexjournaling

DAY 98, 10/6/2023, Friday
mistakes
> Be patient with myself

I realized a lot of times I cringe myself while looking at recordings of past speeches. I am still kinda nervous while delivering public speeches, especially when there's a large number of audiences.

I realized when I'm nervous I lose the pace, and just try to speed through the speech. I would also focus on the words I say instead of the message I try to deliver.

It's like a positive feedback loop where when I'm more nervous the more mistakes I make, hence I panic even more. One thing that would help is practicing "public speaking" as much as possible - and since SAT is gonna be over after tmr, and this the last few days of the 100 days journaling, I am gonna start doing things that I wanted to do but always used SAT or other work as an excuse to not to do.

- Instead of journaling, I will film myself talking about my day and stuff consistently
- I am going to focus on one business model and put in consistent work

Going back to how I cringe myself while looking at past speeches - I don't think it's mainly because I feel like I wasn't good enough. It's rather that I would think about how others would judge me based on that and I didn't like that feeling - and that's kind of ironic since it means that I don't want people to perceive me as who I am but rather someone I'm not.

I realized that I should be more patient with myself. Everything is going to be okay and I should slowly improve. I realized I should stop comparing myself to people that I look up to and focus on small improvements.

I am grateful for all the communities people identify with. I am grateful for the mainstream music. I am grateful to people who focus on people, not things. Tmr SAT... Praying fr. by @alexjournaling

DAY 97, 10/5/2023, Wednesday

I want to remind myself of the importance of action. Any idea without action/execution is nothing.

The lesson I learned today would be I need to frame sentences better - and this is kinda the thing that I could only learn from experience. A lot of times a similar message could be phrased so differently that the other person would feel the complete opposite depending on how I phrased it.

Sleeping early today, hoping to form a good habit.

I am grateful for all the video editing software and tutorials. I am grateful for all the opportunities I have. I am grateful for all the rejection I have experienced. I am grateful to my friends. by @alexjournaling

DAY 96, 10/4/2023, Wednesday

Sometimes I use things like I can't get a ride etc. for an excuse for being lazy. I gotta change that.

Also clubs are fun - today I came across a video saying that when you take a picture of your friend randomly when you're not doing anything special, it is these pictures that when you look back on hit the most, and I think that's facts. I am grateful for my current state in life, and I am also excited about whatever is coming up.

I am grateful for my blanket. I am grateful to people who don’t judge. I am grateful for airdrop. by @alexjournaling

DAY 95, 10/3/2023, Tuesday

> Reflect on the day

I realized the reason why I don’t feel like I have much to write about about recently is that I am trying to reflect on the things I’ve learned/realized in the past weeks or even months, which makes it very hard to consistently write everyday. I change, but I don’t necessarily learn an important lesson nor have an epiphany everyday. I realized it’s called a diary bc it should be a daily log, so I should right about my day.

Something that kind of stuck with me today is 1. ChatGPT, which really helped me revise my college essays and it’s super helpful to just throw information at it and it will just turn it into a whole essay.

Number 2. is that I feel like in China I am always like the kid who’s trying to be inclusive. By that I mean even tho I’m friends with everybody I always take care of the person who is like new and not popular and make friends of them, because Yeah, I guess I was much more pure and kind back then and now I kind of a lotta times get held back by myself to start a convo or just have the mindset of wanting to make connections rather than helping others and being myself. Also now I realized sometimes I’m “afraid” to get other people mad so I don’t do the things I want to do for example being inclusive to everybody. I realized that I should be honest, establish a self identity as someone who’s always inclusive and just be myself.

I am grateful for ChatGPT. I am grateful for all kinds of clubs in school. I am grateful to people who never runs out things to talk about. by @alexjournaling

> I want to enjoy life

I realize how sometimes I think of the idea that we should have fun as an excuse to not work. When I came across the idea of how I shouldn’t take away the fun by restricting myself too much and always being so serious, I just kind of decided to have fun or mix the fun with the work. That is completely cool but sometimes I also need to focus better because sometimes when I work while I have fun, I literally don’t accomplish much. A lot of times I feel like I did i lot while I actually didn’t. I need to improve on my efficiency and find a work life balance ig. As a said before I kinda hated this term bc I always thought if I love working sm i don’t need that, but now I realized 1. Some work would be boring but necessary 2. if I always work work work it would be seen as boring and I would have no stories to tell and I’m not rlly enjoying life in a way which isn’t something I hope to do all my life

I am grateful for all the silly games people play. I am grateful for artist like Van Gogh. I am grateful for friendships that lasted long. by @alexjournaling
