28 days ... and I am finding that the counting of days is becoming less important to me. I think this is probably a good thing as I want to stay focused first and foremost on defining my success as breathing in and internalizing my new lifestyle every day (day after consecutive day) vs. simply achieving a number of days.
That said, I like the idea of keeping the daily count going - at least until I hit my "Base Camp #2" of 40 days (climbing analogy) just so I can show myself I can do something I have never been able to do in these past 35 years or so. After I hit 40 days, I'll likely have a small celebration, reflect on my 40 day "great escape" journey and see where I go from there.
So far, this week has been quite good - stable, positive frame of mind, and with very few distractions (none that made me "linger" for more than a second or two before I was able to let go and reground myself).
I am also starting to find that my on-and-off "brain fog" seems to be starting to lift. I'm not sure if this is truly related to my reboot, but I have found it difficult at times during the past 28 days to feel super motivated / proactive at work. I haven't let this concern or worry me too much - as I had gotten the heads up that this might be part of the reboot transition - and so just went with the flow. Happily, I am now starting to see glimpses of super positive focus and energy at work (confidence ?) that is really encouraging. Hopefully more to report on that front over the coming weeks.
Stay strong.
