Why this exists.

Harish | 40 | A runner. A soon-to-be father. Still figuring life out.

My story isn't one of extraordinary achievements, remarkable transformations or having all the answers. It's mostly about starting things, making mistakes, losing my way occasionally, finding the courage to begin again, and trying to make some sense of this thing called life.

I'm Harish. Forty years old. A husband, a runner, and soon to be a father. Someone who has known grief, experienced joy, struggled with his health, worried about things that probably didn't deserve so much attention, and discovered that growing older doesn't necessarily mean figuring things out.

In April 2014, I lost my father. The following month, I started running with just 250 steps. I had never run beyond 100 metres and knew absolutely nothing about running. By August, I had completed my first half marathon.

Those 250 steps taught me something I still believe: you don't need to know how far you can go to take the first step.

Over the years, I've gained weight, lost routines, struggled with anxiety and health concerns, and sometimes lost the confidence I once had. I've also laughed, loved, learned, helped people, hurt a few unintentionally, and made my share of questionable decisions.

Life has humbled me. These days, I'm trying to unlearn quite a few things while learning a few others.

Why I created the 3-6-9-0 Method

I've spent years making plans to improve my life, only to discover that changing everything at once rarely works.

I wanted something simpler. Something that helps me work on different aspects of my life through small, manageable actions, without expecting perfection every day.

A way to track effort, recognise small wins, and make starting again feel normal rather than like a failure.

That's how the 3-6-9-0 Method — 100 Days of Small Wins came about.

It isn't therapy, a cure for anxiety, or a promise to transform anyone's life. It's a personal experiment in building better habits, finding balance and becoming a little more intentional about how we live.

What I hope to achieve

I want to be healthier, physically and mentally. I want to worry less, enjoy life more, be a better husband and father, become more patient, and help people wherever I can.

And if something I've created helps even one other person make a small positive change, that would mean something.

I have my tiny corner in this vast world. I'm still making mistakes, still learning, still testing my limits and still looking for some happiness, peace and purpose.

I haven't figured life out. I'm simply trying to live it a little better, one day at a time.
