become a morning person.

My job is more than willing to help. I have to go into work early on Monday. There is an event, so they want me in at 8:30am. I don’t usually come in until 9:30 and I am almost NEVER out of bed before 8:45am. But I have faith! And a wonderful fiancee who will kick my arse out of bed! =)

i keep sleeping through my cell alarm. i guess i’ll just have to invest in a very abnoxious alarm clock! can’t wait.

6/19/09!!
-for the next 7 days my goal is to wake up anytime before or @ 8 in the morning.

6/21 bought an alarm clock today. lol

- Try to wake up at the same time every day
- Ditto for falling asleep
- Drink caffeinated tea with breakfast!
- Drink decaf tea before bed.
- Try to get a bit of physical activity in during the day.

I woke up at 5:30 on Monday. It was dreary and rainy out, I loved it! I returned some movies, went to the gym, took a shower, and read at a coffee shop before I headed off to work. Was awesome! My day was so much longer. I don’t think I could do that everyday tho. Maybe I’ll start with once a week, maybe every Monday or Friday.

when I feel depression hit, it seems I can’t really sleep as much as I used to. This is a good thing. I just need to get to sleep earlier , although I’ve always been a night owl too.
I don’t know when I used to sleep come to think of it..4 kids, big house, minimum of 2 dogs, my parrot…wow no wonder I’m so tired :->

My daily Routine is hampered by not only the absolute need to sleep proper long hours and get my full quota, but my lack of Morning Habit.
My Mum the very epitomy of Self Preservation (She took job she hated worked guts off to end up with her own house,car provisioning,Pension, when others made Single Parents did not achieve it against the odds)is a stubborn Morning person.It means she gets the best hours of the day, gets her afternoon rest (important!)has more time to do things, has the sun blazing into her living room (room 2 overlooking the Garden) and she gets done, the heroic jobs she needs to do.
Working Lives are normal. I find this incredibly scary and offputting, yet Mornings are patently normal.
If I could nail this habit it would help my ambitions, like maybe go to university and aim for PhD and fulfill other dreams, tasks etc.

haha i woke up @ 6 two mornings in a row and i also accomplished alottt when i did where i didnt even know what to do with the rest of my day. i also was very tired but eventually i’ll get used to it!

so here’s to watching the birds and squinting at the morning light.

I have to leave this here for a bit…just in case I fall.

It’s 12:50 AM and I’m up as usual. Also, I find that my brain is too tired to write an entry. I’m fully aware that my best time for writing is around 3:00 PM. Maybe it starts earlier and goes until mid afternoon, but I’m not up and available for creativity to know.

So, here goes. Lets see if I can do this. Part of me doesn’t even want to because I’ve always been a night owl. But it’s robbing me of an active life, and I’ve grown sick of that.

I want to do this because I always get up really late, makes me feel like I miss a lot of every day. Which I do ofcourse. It’s just nice to be up early and enjoy watch the sun come up. :)
