So, something happens when I sleep. I go to bed with great intentions. I know my plan of action. I write it down, or go through it in my head. I tell myself, “I will get up with my alarm.” Then I finally fall asleep. Morning comes and the intentions fall apart. I reset my alarm for every 10 minutes until I absolutely HAVE to get up. I jokingly blame how comfortable my bed is. But it is more than that. I really just can’t motivate.
Try, try again. Or rather, do. “Try not. Do, or do not, there is no try.” According to Yoda. I need to heed this advice. Yet, it is a balancing act of not being too hard on myself. On recognizing the progress I have made. I am making it to work. Everyday I am scheduled. And the pros of that far out weigh the cons.
I continue on and do better the next time. Allow my body and mind the rest it thinks it needs. I am doing better about falling asleep. It doesn’t take me three hours to do so. Now it is more like an hourish. Progress is being made. Focus on the building blocks to get me where I want to be. Continue to self talk about the positive, that I CAN get up, I CAN build a morning routine. Maybe I need one of those run away alarm clocks.
