It might be just me but sometimes, usually as I am going to bed, I make a decision that solves a problem of mine. An example would be all those late night blog posts about confronting people, but then I rarely actually follow through. What sounds good and proactive as I am going to sleep is just plain scary when I wake up the next morning. Often I think through tough situations and come to a conclusion that seems reasonable, something like "I will say this thing to this person because they hurt me and I need to stand up for myself" but the next morning my resolve is completely gone and I never say what I wanted to say. Maybe its all just a mental game.
Sometimes, I mentally thank various guys that have been in my life and are now gone.
Sometimes, I scream and yell at guys who confuse me.
And here's where the blog comes in- most of my blog rants fit in the category of guys, right? And often I say things that I cannot say in person, correct? See, its all my late night resolve.
Tonight's late night resolve is about my life in general and the changes that I want to make. See, since graduation and before I got the job I felt like I was in a holding pattern. Just being there day to day, and I dont want to do that anymore. I want to live, succeed, thrive.
I remember in high school, I would get up early- like 5:30- I left the house at 6:30- and I would just enjoy the quiet of the house. I would exercise or watch the news, and then I got to start my day. But no one else in the house was up. I loved that, and I think that it might make a comeback. See, 1 week from tomorrow I start my new job. I gotta be there at 8 which means leaving the house at 7:30, at least theoretically- gotta test the woes of traffic to be sure.
Back to the resolve. Its time to carve out moments for myself in my day- not days for myself. And I have decided that the morning is the perfect time to do it. If I wake up at 6:30 perhaps I can do a little work out, shower and be ready. I gotta be careful though, because my mom wakes up early too, and I dont want her in my business in the mornings.
I've also decided that the morning is the time to do some exercising. If I am going to make it a part of my day, better do it at the beginning of the day so that I can feel good for the whole day! Getting up early though, is going to mean an earlier bedtime.
And since I dont want to shock my body too much in one fell swoop, I am going to bed now! And waking up earlier! Going to wean myself off of my extra sleep. Get 8 hours and do it in a better schedule.
Goodnight friends!
