- Haven't been playing SC2 for the longest time, let alone Diablo 3...
- Haven't been to Bootcamp in TWO months...
- Haven't been blogging, although I have THREE half-written drafts...
- Haven't been running (at least 10km!) within the past two months...
- My fitness is BLERGH...
- My SC2 level is BLERGH...
- Not to mention, feeling FAT and LETHARGIC almost everyday!
So, what exactly have I been doing the past couple of months? Working, sleeping, eating.
So what's the problem? The problem is, I AM NOT HAPPY!!!!
So, what can I do? Time to hit that "Refresh" button. Wait, what?!
Yes, you heard me right! I'm going to hit the "Refresh" button on my own life, and it all starts TODAY!
Spent about 4 hours plus watching MLG last night (Leenock was declared the Champion :) Mr Chubby Cheeks ♥
Hence, yesterday at SammoBammo's place, I collected back ALL my gaming gear (mouse, keyboard and headphones) and decided that I would spend AT LEAST an hour a night training. Watching MLG made me realize, while I dream to be like them someday, it will never happen unless I do it myself! :)
Having being a fan of StarCraft 2 for quite some time now, it's been taking me a very long time to get to where I am... While I understand the game relatively well, my mechanics are REALLY BAD! Why? All because I never really bothered to put in the effort. Well, no more. From now on, every night, at least 2 games I will play! All in the name of self-development of eSports!
Then there's my fitness level.
It's been two whole months of Bootcamp that I have missed. Went back today. Felt like CRAP! Threw up in the middle of a circuit. But here's the thing. After throwing up (ok, maybe I should stop saying that so that you don't feel nauseous!), I felt like this wasn't me. I don't want to be like this. I want the Sheryl/DancerGal who could pull off an entire session and even go out for a movie after. I want the Sheryl who watched what she ate, so that she didn't feel lethargic/fatigued after the session! I WANT THE OLD ME BACK!!!
There is only ONE way to doing that, which is actually GOING BACK and doing all that!
Then, there's my barely updated blog.
As most of you may know, I am a regular contributor on the motivationMY blog. Guess when my last post was? Pathetic.
So with that, while it may be a very tiring move, a very bold move, it's time to hit the refresh button on my life! How?
1. Starcraft 2
Make the effort to play more, train harder, and just simply not make excuses. Watch more streams (where possible) and watch more tournaments (speaking of which, I am downloading the GomTV app for Mac so that I can watch GSL! BOOYAH! :P )
2. Bootcamp/Fitness
Train harder, watch what I eat, and (DO MY BEST!) not to miss any sessions, participate in more runs, and make a conscious effort to train my runs with SammoBammo. Push myself in OBC sessions and make sure that I don't go easy on myself!
3. Regular updates and contributions
Consciously make the effort to contribute to AT LEAST one post a week! Writer's block is a LAME excuse and should not be used in Sheryl's vocabulary!!!
4. Miscellaneous
Try your best to not screw everything else in the process!
Sounds impossible? No, it's not, and it won't be! Wanna know why? Three simple words: FOCUS, DETERMINATION, and PASSION! I love and enjoy all of the above! I want to be better not for anyone, but for myself!
There is no room for "second best" or "complacency" in my life. Either you work your ass for it, or you get stuck living a mediocre life. Your choice.
