I didn't start out so well. I had every intention of an early rise and a walk.
Instead, I snoozed the alarm set for 7 and awoke at 7:45 and though I did get SRF exercises in, I veered off course after that. Twitter/Facebook are far too easy to fall into.
It's a case in part of procrastination and honestly not yet having a firm routine in place that's important enough to stick with. Aware that I routinely avoid personal tasks that need to be accomplished; it’s a form of self sabotage - one with deep roots.
Was it because I spent my teenage years literally stoned from the time I opened my eyes til I shut them at night? Was it years of working clubs and restaurants with a fluid schedule and a healthy addiction to superficial pleasures or a learned habit to blow off anything in my life outside of work? Is it a result of never having children and doing what one didn’t want to do or being forced to adapt to a schedule?
Whatever it is, I suck at it.
I’m a great worker; I can slide into my desk chair at 7am and remain planted until 7pm. Easily and somewhat happily.
But when it comes to housekeeping and tending to things I need to let alone structuring my day to include things I enjoy - I’m frankly lost. Part of what I hope this time will illuminate and teach.
I did manage to do Yoga and I did start this here but quickly seeing this could become another distraction if not put into a some kind of order - I could fall into this all day. So note to self to consider a time/s and a limit to them.
While feeling like it was wasteful to stay inside…I did. Many tasks completed..
