Default Day 4 Update

First of all, thanks for the support everyone, who is reading this, and especially those, who gave feedback. It feels great to receive some encouragement.


Nap: 3:25-4pm

It was longer than a power nap, but it refreshed me quite a bit. In fact, I'm feeling almost completely my normal self right now, that it's 6pm.

Habits: Journal and meditation as usual. I did yoga for the first time in the morning since I started getting up early (which was roughly three weeks ago). I guess I felt good enough to do it! Incidentally, I'm doing 90 day yoga challenge, starting today. I won't be talking about it here though. I'm also starting to make daily entries in my food journal. I want to eat more healthy foods, and want to track what I'm eating out of habit first. So far I figured out that I'd like to eat more vegetables! (eating a bowl right now) Oh, and less sugar and refined flour. I think white flour is such a filler, and it's even better to eat whole grains, rather than any kind of flour, even wholegrain flour.

My intention for tomorrow is to get up at 5am!

Emotional effects: I noticed, that I didn't mention anything about this. Mostly, because I make updates in the afternoon, and I forget how crabby I get at night time ha ha Last night, I went to a nice discussion group on Abraham/Hicks work, and I still wasn't happy, oh the irony! I stayed interested the whole night, but then I left and was annoyed in my head at various people. I was thinking about how nobody wanted to watch my son, when I was at the meeting, and how selfish it was of them, and that they are not there for me. I guess I was feeling unsupported, which brings up an interesting question. Was it because my new sleeping schedule threw off my mood, or was it because it was actually emotions surfacing, that I have been ignoring before? I would say that those are surfacing for a reason, just like any other healing program. In fact, I would venture to say that's why people don't make it all the way through, a lot of times. They can't yet handle to deal with those surfacing emotions.

I hope everyone else is enjoying getting up early! Or late, whatever you like
