Soooo I took a big step today. I made the committment to start waking up early! I joined the Maximize Your Mornings challenge over at Inspire to Action.
As I've mentioned many times before, I am NOT a morning person. I hate waking up early, and absolutely love hitting the snooze button "just one more time"...
But it' just not working for me. I always oversleep and end up rushing to get ready for work. Then I have no time for devotions or breakfast and suffer for it all day. Plus I'm pretty sure that last 15 minutes hurt more than it help, because I end up feeling groggy and unfocused all day.
Under this challenge, we'll be waking up earlier a little bit at a time, until it becomes a habit. The goal is to evenutally have enough time in the morning to have quiet time, exercise and plan your day, in addition to the normal getting ready for work stuff. So it should go hand in hand with my new running plan!
The plan has an ebook with advice and a strategy for making waking up early a life long habit. And everyone will be connected by their forum and twitter (which I do not have). They're just starting with week 1.

This week's goal is to GET OUT OF BED! When the alarm goes off, I have to just roll out of bed and resist the urge to go back to sleep. I can do that right?
Anyone want to join me?
I want to join! What do I do?
ReplyDeletehahaha sounds good. i think this'll help a lot more than trying to do it all on your own :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it with me Lo! Check out the site in the link above, and I'll send you the book. Then each week we'll try to implement one of the steps. It's not just about waking up early, but about cultivating a good devotional and exercise life before you start the rest of your day.
ReplyDeleteSounds great to me. We can talk about it on Wednesday when we have our date :]
