50 DAY CHALLENGE: ACHIEVED!

Who am I before the 50 DAY CHALLENGE?

Craziness is my forte and I realized that I became a monster out of craziness. Distress ate my positive view in life. And I was not aware that I am not myself anymore. I am surrounded by toxic energies and toxic relationships. And soon enough, I became the poison itself. I even lost a love one because I can't handle my own stress and shit. Day after day, everything is a struggle. Work is full of distractions, stress is my best friend, and sleep is just a break.

So last September 14, I pledged to listen to TED talks once a day for 50 consecutive days. I opt for the 21 days only since it's the suggested number of days to create a new habit/routine but I felt that it was too short to change the mindset of a person.
