Do you want to learn something new?
Do you want to change parts of your life?
You have the potential, if you want to change anything in your life, like
Or anything in your life. If you do want this change then you have to look deep within yourself. You also have to work out why you want this change before you can change.
If your main goal is you want to wake up earlier, that may not seem like a big goal. But if you think deeply about not waking up early every day, what that means is you are waking up late every day. So then you have to think, why does waking up late impact my life so deeply?
For me, the feeling of waking up late every day gave me the feeling of being rushed before I even started my day.
Over the years I have listened to friend after friend, client after client tell me about how they want to wake up earlier, but they cannot.
This all comes down to making time to rest and not be left feeling overwhelmed. It is not just about waking early. It is breaking the cycle of feeling exhausted, The cycle that has affected you for far too long. Once you break this cycle your body realises that waking up early is good for your physical and mental health. Thus it makes you start to naturally wake up early.
When I was young
I felt forced to wake up early when I was young. I wanted to wake up early without feeling angry that I was awoken early. This was not good energy to be filled with for the day, as my anger would bounce off onto others.
I would also say “ I want to be a morning person.” But that had nothing to do with the time of day as all I was saying was –
I wanted to wake early but I went to bed too late. I wanted to feel energized, healthy and ready to start my day. But I could not because I had this problem or that problem. I was too young to have any major problems apart from where I was going that night.
As I got older
I wanted to have time for myself before starting my day. I wanted to have a routine that worked for me. I wanted to go to bed early and get up early but that required me to have a plan. I do not make plans, I live for the day.
Over the years I have realised that our intentions are hidden underneath our statements.
“I wish I was a morning person.” Which causes our beliefs and desires to be hidden with resentment.”
When we often talk badly about a person we are only projecting. We talk badly and hate the joy someone else is having because it is something we want.
If you find yourself doing this ask yourself –
- What is upsetting me?
- Why am I spending all this energy talking about this person’s actions?
- What do I need?
While recovering from abuse
Showing my potential
While recovering from my brain damage I started to see life differently. Because I had just taken myself off the tramadol that my ex-girlfriend had me dosed up on. So I could be aware of my surroundings and could focus on my life. I could see the potential of becoming what I wanted my life to be.
I knew waking up early would help me get out of the house and away from my abuser. I knew waking up early would give me the strength to deal with the reality of life.
I had 1 dog, 1 cat a few chickens and an abusive ex-partner. I worked two jobs because I had lots of money to pay back. I could not go to sleep early as I had too much on my mind. Especially if my ex had been more abusive that night.
So what was I going to do?
You may be reading this thinking but I do not need a wake-up early routine. But you do know there are parts of your life you are ignoring because you believe there is no fix. There is always the potential to fix anything. You can heal and change almost everything in life.
While you go through life’s beautiful journey please do not ignore going down these roads of hard work because you think there is no point. Do not let yourself believe
“ I will never solve this problem, so what’s the point of getting my hopes up.” Remember if you believe these thoughts you are putting it out to the universe and the universe will follow your thoughts.
I am not asking you to push yourself to go down that road. I am just hoping you will consider the possibility of finding that road one day. When you are ready.
Wake up early
I am using the wake-up early routine as an example. But what I want to ask yourself is
What do you want that you know will change your life for the better? But because of your beliefs or blocks, it feels impossible to achieve.
The many ups and downs we go through in life are only to try and achieve the best life possible. When we think our “ negative beliefs” matter more to us than releasing what is keeping us from getting there, we are stuck in a cycle of being stuck.
When we finally see that we can let go of what has got us caught in that trap. That’s called freedom.
Cambodia
When I first moved to Cambodia my neighbours would wake up at the same time every day, with no alarm. I would hear them gently sweeping outside or feeding the chickens. I always wondered how they could do this without an alarm clock.
It wasn’t until I started to allow the sun to greet me in the morning that I realised the beauty of the sky and our universe was waking my neighbours.
I soon realised that the light peeking in through the curtains was not an annoying inconvenience but a present, as I was now in the present.
Takeaway
If there is one thing I learned on my journey of life so far is that I have what it takes to create change.
Take a moment right now and remind yourself that YOU have what it takes too.
You may have quit a million times and not made it to where you want to be. Sometimes we quit because we are redirecting our energy and that is a good thing. Do not keep doing something that is not working.
You may call it quitting but it is not quitting it is starting over again with a new perspective.
