I would like to explain a bit about the Morale value at the end of each daily post, it’s a numbering system that I came up with to rate my motivation and mental focus towards achieving my goal, it also indicate how happy am I with the achievements I am getting and results I am seeing. It is on a scale of 10, 10 being the highest and 0 being the rock bottom, in addition certain boosts or events come up every while and then will be represented by its own block, such events may lower or increase morale depending on their type.

Basic Morale Levels:

Highest Morale

“I feel great and nothing in this whole world can stop me! Achieving my goals is finally within a hand reach! ”

High Morale

“This is Perfect! I am doing wonderful and every workout really pays off!”

High Morale

“I feel absolutely great!I feel very motivated and I love the progress I am making!”

Moderate Morale

“Doing good! Progress is good and I am moving steadily towards my goal”

Moderate Morale

“I’m alright! I feel that I am doing the right thing.. good things will come…”

Moderate Morale

“I feel OK..I will continue my effort as the alternative is far much worse”

Low Morale

“Ah well…I had a bad day but tomorrow have to be better.. it  has to be!”

“Sheesh…I could not have made it through this day if it wasn’t for sheer willpower”

Very Low Morale

“Man… Now is it really worth it..? I try and I try and nothing is working! out as I intend”
