A week ago, I wrote an article called Creating a Morning Routine. I have created a routine for myself in the past period. In this article, I will talk about my thoughts and feelings. During this trial period, I will make new revisions and adapt it to my life. Because I don't want to feel like I have to do this. Now let's talk about some numbers. Actually, there is no need to talk about it. Let's try to understand with visuals.
The time spent asleep - you could say 30 minutes. It wasn't measuring it completely accurately.
In fact, even in this state, it is ~3 times higher than the data from 7 days ago. So it was a nice change. It is enjoyable to examine the health application at the end of the day.
I woke up early in the morning
I woke up at 7 on weekdays and 8:30 on weekends. I woke up at 6 on the first day, but the sun wasn't even up yet, so I slept for another hour and started waking up at 7. In fact, I was able to spend time doing sports and doing my own work this way. I didn't lose my focus easily when I woke up in the morning. The problem here was; I was going to bed very late at night. So I couldn't come to my senses even though I took a nap during the day. I was getting an average of 6 hours of sleep at night. So I'm not happy with this. At the end of the article, I will talk about the general revisions I will make.
20 minutes of exercise, 40 minutes of walking
I spent an average of 1 hour a day on sports. During this period, I did both mobility and strength exercises and walking. I can say that the only thing I got benefit from here was walking. I was not enjoying the exercise and to be honest, I was doing it with difficulty. I want to adapt the mobility part to my life but I can say that I am having a hard time with it. I also looked at training programs for this but I don't think I came across a good program. I will continue my research and push myself a little more until I find a good plan. It was fun when I went to the gym before but now I don't like it when I work out with body weight at home. That's why I want to buy a dumbbell set in the coming days and continue.
I reduced sugar and increased the number of meals to 3
Since I eat a lot of dinner, I thought that if I increased the number of meals, I would reduce my hunger a little in the evening, but it didn't work :) That's why I didn't get any benefit from this. But I am gradually reducing sugar.
A few meals after the morning walk. (I don't know why the photo angles are so bad :) )
As a result, it was very enjoyable to do these things, whether it was waking up early in the morning or walking. I never walked the same roads every morning when I went for a walk. I went on unfamiliar roads as much as possible, observed the surroundings and took a few photos. I saw people sleepy on their way to work, the old man who got on his bike to buy fresh bread in the morning, the shopkeeper who opened his shop, the student waiting at the bus stop... As someone who works from home, I realized that I hadn't witnessed these moments for a long time. So it felt like a remedy.
Revisions
I will start making the time I will allocate for myself in the morning at night. I will wake up at around 9 am and go for a walk. I will not take more than 30 minutes of morning walk.
I will walk instead of driving to short distances. I will make walking a habit. If I do not have time to walk during the day, I will take evening walks.
I will do strength exercises one day at a time. I will spread the mobility exercises throughout the day and return to my current work after each area. I will focus on other areas during my next break. I will ensure continuity in this way.
I will continue to reduce sugar.
I will try to increase my content production a little more and be more active.
