Let me brag a bit.
Last year, I was someone who couldn't get up in the morning, stayed up all night on my phone, had a messy room, and only beat myself up.
This year, I changed things one by one.
I started with my wake-up time, then walking, then cleaning my room.
I failed dozens of times trying to do everything at once, so this time I only did one thing per month.
A year has passed now, and even though it's not perfect, last year's me wouldn't recognize me.
Compared to others, I still have a long way to go, but compared to who I was in the past, it's huge progress, so I'm giving myself a round of applause.
