Dreemport Challenge|| One Step Towards Achieving My New Year's Goals and Resolutions
At the beginning of the year, I did what most people do; write down goals and resolutions hoping to at least achieve a bit of them but, it’s march and I haven’t even opened my journal where I wrote those things down.
Because of that, for a while, I have been feeling guilty if I’ll say so and I guess that is how most of us might be feeling right now; a bit underachieving and held back, or maybe that is just me.
I was trying to figure out ways to push myself to start achieving my goals but I have lacked drive and motivation which isn’t new to me so, I was pretty glad when I saw a tag from @samsmith1971 to @dreemsteem's post about the dreemport challenge titled “life is short, start fresh”.
The challenge centers around a bunch of tasks that we have to try to achieve from Monday to Friday and since we are being held accountable for it, it made things a lot better in my case.
At this point, I will be breaking down each task and my journey in this first week so without further ado, let’s get into it.
5 MINUTE MEDITATION/BREATHING/PRAYER
This was one part of my life that I have been trying to improve on because as a Christian, I have found myself not praying enough and being distracted by everything so being intentional this week about it brought bliss to my heart.
From Monday to Friday, I woke up at 6 am and the first I did was pray and read my Bible which was amazing to me, it genuinely helped my overall mood for the day and I loved it.
DRINK 32OZ OF WATER
I feel like this was the easiest part of the challenge because I am a water drinker and on an average day, I drink about 200cl of water which is about 67 oz so I aced this with flying colors.
20 MINUTES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
I have a love-hate relationship with exercise because after losing almost 20 kg, exercise started feeling like just a weight-loss tool for me.
My goal this year was to do exercises that I enjoyed and most didn’t cut it because I didn’t feel good after I did them, so for this week I chose to do an afrobeat dance workout because I love dancing.
I successfully accomplished this for four out of the five days and the reason I missed a day was because I had to travel to another town with my partner and I didn’t want to be dancing in front of him.
I am looking forward to doing better on this next week, fingers crossed.
15 MINUTES TOWARDS A PERSONAL GOAL
Well, I had two goals I wanted to achieve this week and In my opinion, I achieved both of them.
The first was not obsessing over the scale this week and I didn’t weigh myself all through this week which is a big milestone if you know me.
The second was not overthinking which is I always do and I feel like the major reason I have been overthinking these days is due to me wanting to get a laptop so I can start a tech course and since I haven’t gotten that, I find myself fidgeting because achieving this would help a majority of my goals this year.
I won’t lie and say I hit this head on but this challenge helped me actively fight those overthinking tendencies which is a win for me.
LASTLY,
I was able to submit a post every day except on Thursday to the dreemport website and I totally forgot on Thursday because I usually submit pretty late in the day and I was occupied with the PYPT amongst other things.
IN CONCLUSION
Life is about being intentional and I am so glad that I could do this because it isn’t only helping me achieve my goals but it is pushing me to be a better version of myself which is something that I have tried to do on my own for a long while.
I know that I might fail on some days but the best part about failing is getting back up which I plan to do every single day.

Hey sis, you did well this week and let's try again next week. Kudos to you and I believe your prayer activity should be active now.
Thank you so much, it truly is more active.
Well done sis.
The good things about failing is the fact that we gain experience and come back stronger.
Keep up the good work.
When one is intentional about what they do, they are always successful with it.
Exactly, being intentional is very important.

This is a good one from you. You aced it.
When I saw the water measurement given for the week, I knew it would be an easy tick for most people. It will be increased gradually for each new week. I hope you get to Ace it too.
Thank you so much.
The water part was just too easy 😆
The challenge is really helpful, making one to be more in control of his or her day.
I must say you did well this week champ.
Yes it is, thank you so much.
Wow, your goals seem simple but they are not. To see that you achieved them is splendid. Watching your weight and really seeing improvement in one week is amazing. Then no longer overthinking, even when you haven't got what caused your thinking is discipline. I pray you get the laptop soon and wish you the best in the tech training. You did well in the challenge for this week, let's hope for the best of next week
Thank you so much for your kind words, indeed this challenge did a lot of good for me.
Khaleesii always oppressing us with her beautiful relation with her partner.
You did A great job on this week's task, see you next week!

WAY TO GO DREEMER!!!
but - you don't like dancing in front of your partner?
hehehe i bet that your partner would enjoy it LOLOOLOL
I'm really happy that your prayer started your day off so well!!! that's just the way it is, isn't it??? we think that we don't have time to put it in, and then we do - but it makes the WHOLE day so much smoother and better!
Keep that up this week and let's see that task really become something permanent in our lives :)
(and as far as your water... hehehe i need to be better at drinking my water like you! LOLOL)
great job!!!!!!!!! keep your tasks on track for this week too! tomorrow is Wednesday - halfway through the week!!! let's do this!!! :)
Maybe you are me 😆 who knows.
Well, maybe I'll warm up to dancing in front of him someday but since its a new relationship it is still awkward 😆
Maybe you can spice up your water that would make it drinkable, then again, a hot climate might force you to, hehehe.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement.
