Today is the 3-month anniversary of the Los Angeles coronavirus shutdown and I
realized that I had accomplished many goals and improved my life in many ways during this time.
- Improved My Health - dropped 4 pounds during the coronavirus by walking daily as well as using the free Nike Training Club app and Barry's Instagram lessons. Still haven't lost the inches though.
- Reconnected with Wife - as she said to a coworker, our daily walks and talks are like we are dating again. Prior to the quarantine, we rarely saw each other due to work, church, and school commitments.
- Painted Bathroom - something I had wanted to do for years. Who knew it would take me 5 days, but I did it!
- Improved Cooking - I have always loved to cook, but rarely had time due to work and always being on the go in my personal life. Most amazing dessert I made - strawberry pie. Most interesting learning experience deconstructing a turkey and turning it into 3 different recipes.
- Grew a Coronavirus Beard - I had never grown my beard out for 6 weeks. It came in full and my wife and mother lamented when I shaved it off. I needed to as I was booked for an acting job and I was beardless in my headshot photo.
- Decluttered My Bedroom - things were stacked in corners and on dressers. It is now a room of peace and tranquility (except for the barking dog next door) where I meditate three times a week.
- Explored Neighborhood - The walks with my wife for the last 3 months have allowed us to explore ours and surrounding neighborhoods finding amazing stores, restaurants, gardens, homes, and even a hidden staircase.
- Completed Level 4 of the Presentation Mastery Pathway for Toastmasters. Toastmasters is a group dedicated to public speaking and I am now one level away from completing the pathway.
- Created Porch Garden - the couple of plants on the porch became a garden with aloe vera, scallions, bell peppers, sage and host of other plants.
- A Talent Manager reached out to me to see if we would be a good fit for each other. It wasn't, but I felt that having someone express an interest in representing me based upon my look and my work was a big accomplishment.
What is on your list?
