1 person thinks this is worth it.
(What is RSS?)In an effort to actually get things done, I am streamlining my list. I am not giving up on this, I am simply moving it into my daily 5 of 15 goal. If I mark it off 28 consecutive times I will consider this done.
I’ve not done well with the request AT ALL! In fact I have been off for the past two days and have happily stayed in bed while hubby got up yo start his day. I did this with a smile and only to spite him since he is the one that usually stays those extra 5 minutes.
I don’t want to call defeat on this just yet though. I am telling myself that the reason I have been so non-committal(lazy)about this is that I am enjoying my time, getting back into the swings of a normal person schedule. So now that the summer is coming to an end, I have to start getting things together. No more loafing around- esp in the AM.
I did pretty well on this last week. I had am goals to accomplish and those pushed me out of bed when I would have otherwise lingered. (Especially that dark and dreary Wednesday morning when the rain drops against the air conditioner where so hypnotic.)
I am going to follow the 28 day rule for this as well before I mark it off, but I think my main motivation for this is AM yoga.
Powerful stuff and great way to start the day.
I did horribly this week- I didn’t get out of the bed without negotiating that extra time even once.
I did get up this morning for yoga/pilates. My body was in dire need of some stretching so I feel really good. My tea is simmering, the house is quiet and even though it is gloomy out I am off to a great start.
This has only become a problem after getting married. I have always been an early bird. I don’t remember the last time I owned an alarm clock and pre-marriage I would rise before 6, get my yoga on, having some tea and listen to music before showering and preparing for my day. Nowadays- if I am not up and in the study catching up on schoolwork, I lay in bed next to hubby, wide awake but too lazy to move.
I am sure that this has something to do with the fact that since our time together is so limited I want to cherish every morning cuddle I can get. But the truth of the matter is I end up getting annoyed with myself because what happens is I use those extra minutes to think about all of the things I could be doing. I get cranky when I have to rush or wait an extra 10 minutes for him to get ready so that we can leave together and this is not the way that I want to start my days.
I have a feeling that if I revert back to my old ways hubby will join me (as he has a bad case of me-too-itis). With graduation right around the corner, it is the perfect time to reclaim my mornings, reinstate my routine so that I can start my days off on the right foot.
