Early to rise - Day 3 - Rough start

Hmmm...it's day 3, Wednesday, and honestly I am struggling a bit.  Not so sure it is because it's early but more because I woke with a sore throat.  Kind of feels like someone choked me in my sleep...but not going to dive into that here.  That will be for a totally different blog. LOL

So, this morning in my first hour slot I changed it up.  Didn't get the glass of water as I was supposed to...went straight to coffee after letting the dogs out.  I also didn't follow my own instructions and jumped right into work.  Just a little, starting an online party for one of my hosts as I kind of forgot to do a few things yesterday.  Oh well.  now I can focus on my morning even though it got off to a rocky start.  

Positive thinking is the way to go.  Well, today I am positive that I hate alarm clocks.  My mind woke me a lot too early this morning as I rolled over to see 2:22 AM on the clock.  I growled and rolled back over and went back to sleep only to have my weird dream rudely interrupted by the noise at 5:25 AM.  UGH, I really hate alarm clocks.  Must make a mental note to change that ringer to something more pleasant.  I thought Morning Glory would be ok, the gentle chiming of bells in a rhythmic fashion but as I found when it started this morning, I wanted to throw my phone across the room.  Yes, I really do hate alarm clocks!!! 

I am only 3 days into this Miracle Morning routine I am trying to build but as mentioned above, only took 3 days to fail at it.  Not that I am giving up, just realizing that my mind and body are going to fight me a bit on this.  I am still doing my journaling (this blog), and I will do my exercises (later when I'm awake) and I will meditate when I am a little more awake too (probably my hypnosis which sounds kind of good right now because I am pretty sure I kind of sleep thru it...ha).  Promise myself I will try better tomorrow.  After all, it does take about 30 days to make a habit and 30 days to break one too, so I will do this.  Just having to break habits I have been forming now for 49 years and recreate the wheel in my mind.  That in itself sounds exhausting.  Can that be my exercise for the day?  Probably not, that's probably cheating.  Oh well, off to get another cup-o-joe.  Will be here, hopefully earlier tomorrow.
