Why Failing 75 Soft the First Time Benefitted Me

Now before my whole page becomes 75 Soft material, I want to say I will be incorporating everything else as well.

I failed 75 Soft the first time, which was supposed to be easier than 75 Hard, but here's why none of them are "easier" and why I think failing the first made this time so much better.

When I sought out to start 75 Soft last month I wanted to do it to get healthier and whatever, this round I obviously still want to be healthier, but I also want to be more disciplined, excited about life, motivated, and overall change my life to fit what I want to live and see myself as. If you had asked me the last time I attempted to do this, what my biggest motivator was I would have said something like "get more in shape" or "wanting to feel healthy". Now, I just want to create habits that allow me the freedom to feel healthier or the discipline to go to the gym to get in shape. I'm not relying on this "challenge" to do it for me, I'm relying on myself to use the tools I learn from it to rely on myself. And I think that's not only a huge mindset change, but will overall aid me in finishing not only the 75 Soft Challenge, but my 100 Days of Change.

It's taken me many hours and books to understand that I'm growing and changing mentally more than I have and possibly ever will. I want to embrace that and bring other people along with me, not as passengers in my car, but as drivers driving together in our own cars. I think there's some invigorating about finding a deeper and new version of yourself that you get to nurture and change on your own. Like yes we have every piece that we can change about ourselves, but it's like this piece is front and center and now I have to design it and ready it for the world to see now.

I have benefited from failing in a way I would have been so mad at myself 4 weeks ago, but now I'm so thankful that this has happened, and I'm so excited to see what's to come. I also learned last time that while doing it alone is possible, doing it with other people is what will really aid and hold me accountable to making this thing happen, so I've brought along some friends, who I'm sure will be featured and talking about in future blogs.

Overall, I'm excited and happy, and school starts on Monday (8.29.22) so we'll see how all of this fits into my already pretty insane schedule. I'll see y'all later!

Love,

Tori
