Twice a day...

Some "not so important things" have a significant impact on our lives. We have a hundred and one tasks to finish, before taking care of our health. Most young adults, in my opinion, take their health for granted. Okay, before Covid happened, I wasn't an exception either. On a positive note, it did show what is truly important. I had a lot of time to figure out my interests, bring back my hobbies and learn cooking a bit. Then I found out some unfilled gaps in my daily routine. In the hustle and bustle of life, I did miss "brushing my teeth twice a day". 

I could remember that I had a topic in my kindergarten or in my first grade about healthy habits, which includes brushing teeth twice a day. I know what is right, but I was pretty inconsistent. I am lucky enough, I never needed to visit a dentist for any complicated issue. Recently one of my friends had a complication, which made me realize the importance of oral health. I had an encounter with a couple of folks where the stench, particularly the breath odour, made me uncomfortable. I do not know if anyone else had such an experience with me. So I decided to wrap a grey thread around my laziness and swim in the bubbles of toothpaste twice a day. 

I am proud of myself that I have been consistent for the past 22 days despite any important work. Not that this was smooth, initially I struggled but somehow I need to write a blog, updating the changes I made in my life, so dang that worked! After being consistent for 15 days, I couldn't hold myself from not following the routine. 

I know that this is a small achievement, but I am confident that my future self will thank me for this. There are some more interesting things that I started this week...Woah! I am excited too. See you next time with some more Chota things.
