If you could improve only 1% each day, where will you be in 100 days?

There are countless skills I aspire to master and new things I long to learn! Is it ambition, drive, or perhaps plain stubbornness? 😉 Maybe it’s motivation, too?

When I began regularly jumping rope in July, every new skill I acquired felt like an enormous wave of excitement. As a beginner, progress seems to come more swiftly (or at least it feels that way) because each day of practice surpasses the one before. Progress is more palpable when starting from ground zero. For me, each small achievement fueled a desire to learn another trick. Mastering a new skill feels incredible! However, as proficiency grows, the learning curve shifts. New moves tend to be more challenging, requiring more time to learn. This can make small improvements less noticeable. Often, we feel stuck and perceive no progress. I certainly experience that feeling often! When this occurs, I have a tendency to train more vigorously, expecting to see results. I believe this might be why I recently sustained an injury.

Ultimately, if you put in the effort, progress will come. Results will manifest over time. Trust yourself and relish the journey. Don’t let frustration deter you from pursuing your dreams!

Since I’m unable to engage in vigorous jumping and lifting, I’ve been exploring creative workouts. Hence, the idea of 100 days of small increments. Each day contributes a tiny 1% improvement in whatever task or skill I choose to focus on. Whether it’s mastering a new skill or simply doing old-fashioned push-ups, I won’t seek immediate results every day. Instead, I’ll reserve judgment until June 2024.

See you then! 😘
