my own little May challenge✨
There are a bunch of healthy habits that I want to form, and the main issue I have is CONSISTENCY! (Procrastination is pretty bad too, lol. But this might also help with that).
For the 31 days of May, I am doing these three things: journaling, working out, and posting to TikTok.
📝 I have been consistent with journaling in the past, but this year I have gotten away from it. Journaling helps me so much. I’ll have to do a separate post on it. But it helps me just get my thoughts out, which is so important.
💪🏻 I have big fitness and weight loss goals and have been slacking big time. I am 43 and feeling sluggish and I don’t want to get worse. So many reasons why exercise is important. I am committing to a minimum of 30 minutes of intentional movement.. it can be walking, lifting, dancing, putting on a YouTube workout video, anything.
📱 As for posting to TikTok- i decided to start over there since hardly anyone I know in real life follows me there. 😅 it’s just easier without the lurkers, lol. And that app seems to be the easiest place to grow for others. I’m posting a minimum of once daily, but sometimes 2 or 3 times.
These are all helping me learn consistency. Of course I want to see results from this challenge. But if all I get is better consistency and discipline, then it will be a good challenge.
I’m on day 13 and feeling pretty good! 😊
anyone else on a similar journey? follow along and let me know and we can help cheer each other on!💕

Starting a month-long challenge to build consistency can genuinely transform your daily life. I've realized that the key to lasting change isn't about perfection but showing up day after day, even on low-energy days. For me, journaling has been a powerful tool to clear my mind and manage stress. I make it a point to jot down at least one thing I'm grateful for, which helps shift my mindset positively. In terms of fitness, committing to just 30 minutes of intentional movement—whether it's walking in the park, dancing in my living room, or following a quick YouTube workout—makes exercise feel accessible rather than daunting. This approach helps combat procrastination and keeps motivation from fading. As for posting on TikTok, rebuilding my presence there without the pressure of people I know locally has made content creation feel more fun and authentic. Posting daily, sometimes multiple times, encourages me to be more creative and engage with a supportive community. If you’re tackling consistency struggles like me, try breaking your goals into small, doable steps and celebrate every win, no matter how small. Tracking progress daily, even just mentally, fosters gradual improvement. It’s not about immediate results but developing discipline and habits that stick. Having others to cheer you on or share their progress can make the challenge more enjoyable and motivating. Let’s keep supporting each other on this journey to better habits and well-being!
Consistency is so key!!!
