I forgot to login but I swear I did not forget about my echochallenges. On Oct. 7th, I started off with easier tasks with the harder ones in conclusions. First things first, I had a stack of racial injustice movies to watch. The one I decided to watch for my one time action, was a movie called, "Just Mercy." About an African American Lawyer help an innocent African American get out of jail who was falsely accused. I highly recommend watching it; it's worth it. 
Next up, I was working on my happiness. Even with the tough times going on, I took a moment and told myself at least three things I was grateful for. I was grateful to be alive at this moment, I was grateful to have a job to help me pay for my needs and sometimes thing that I want. And of them all, I'm grateful for the friends and family in my life. 
As for exercising daily, I was dying to get back to this. I needed and wanted to get back in shape for SO many reasons. Mainly, to look good and feel good. I didn't get a chance to get to the gym. So I did home workouts instead, unfortunately. As soon as I hit the weights, it's game over. 
And last but not least, healthy sleeping. Sounds pretty simple but believe it or not, I was struggling with this one. I've been having a hard time sleeping and ended being on my phone long nights. Well I decided to go bed a little earlier than before, put my phone away, and that was pretty much it. I've been improving on my sleep schedule, but still got some ways to go. 
If I had one word of advice on these actions, don't be saying it's impossible when you know the task can be done. There will be some challenges without a doubt. But they can always improve you as a better person and prepare you for more obstacles coming your way.  

Ever since the pandemic started and classes were switched to online, I've had trouble sleeping and getting less than 6 hours of sleep. Sleep is extremely important and it's for sure something I have to work on

Once again, ever since pandemic/covid came in, I've been struggling to stay in shape. And I wasn't very motivated to do at home workouts. Going to the gym, lifting weights, and shooting some hoops is my type of workout. The goal is to get back to that. 

Motivating myself and feeling good about myself is definitely something I need to work on. 

It's been a very long time since I've watched a documentary about racial inequality; helpful to regain some knowledge from the past. Honestly, it should be more than a one time action. Maybe two-three times a week.
