It's Time For A Change

I've written 246 of these.

For the first year plus, I'd write them and move on. Only recently have I started going back and reading what I've written in the past. I'm reading them in order, one each night, and I'm only just coming to the end of January so this is a relatively new habit.

It's fascinating to see how much I've changed over the past year. But also, some of the things that haven't changed.

Pattern Recognition

I was just reading through a previous article titled Airplane Logic. It's one of the principles I live by - you've got to take care of yourself first if you want to be capable of taking care of anything else in your life.

In the article, I mentioned how I was staying up too late and not getting enough sleep. Unfortunately, this is one of those things that hasn't changed. I'm literally in that very same situation as we speak : /

I'm very focused on my mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. However, I often take sleep for granted. It's definitely my Achilles heel.

I've written about this several times along this journey. I'll give myself credit becasue I have been doing pretty good lately but last night I was up a bit later and this morning was an earlier start.

It's hard because I push myself very hard. Between being a business owner and a father, I am always on, non-stop. Rest and relaxation are important to help me unwind so I try to make the most of it when I can, but apparantly I lean more towards the relaxation and neglect the rest.

It's Time For A Change

I have to accept that I'm at a point in my life where I have young kids and there's a level of uncertainty and unpredictability in my life. I need to be more strict about my bedtime (specifically on weekends). Once my kids are older I can go back to staying up late and sleeping in again. But for now, I can't afford to run myself ragged.

I've got to take care of myself if I want to achieve my goals.

The only thing I need to be careful about here is that I don't swing the pendulum back too hard. I can spend more time sleeping, but if that means taking away from the activities that help me unwind, that can hurt me in a different way and lead to burnout or a lack of creativity.

We all get the same 24 hours in a day. I have to rebalance all of the buckets in my life, not just these one or two. Otherwise, I'll start a chain reaction of fixing one problem only to create another.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sleep is too important for me to neglect. I'm undoing so much of the hard work and effort I put into being the best version of myself I can be. It's been too long and it's time for a change!

This journal is a nightly look into my experience of manifesting a million dollars - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will continue writing three nights a week until I have achieved my goal.
