There have been many times were days have turned into weeks, and weeks have turned into months that have just slipped by, as I was just going through the motions.
I don’t get those days back now and I learned time slips away without us realizing it.
I can feel the time running out as my kids grow older and I haven’t been able to do things with them I have always wanted to… I know pretty soon they aren’t going to want to, or have time to do them with me.
Isn’t it crazy how something doesn’t feel like a precious commodity until we feel like we are running out of it?
So I’m working to make sure there is no more wasted time. Days I sleep through by lack of focus or resistance to life will not turn into weeks or months anymore. I don’t have enough to spare.
I know if I’m diligent with my morning, the rest of the day falls into place. So I wake up early in order to have the time to get myself on track.
If you start your day on the wrong track it takes way too long to turn it back around. But if you get it right first thing, it makes life so much easier to handle.
Eckhart Tolle says, “once you get your inside right, the outside will fall into place.”
My first priority has become setting my brain and my mood right, as they affect every single decision through the day. I can’t be in any kind of negative state, that needs to be cleared first.
My next priority is to write. This way before anything else happens in my day, I have got my insides right and accomplished something towards a personal goal that means something to me.
Tony Robbins says to have a cold shower to wake up your system as part of a morning routine. I don’t see that one in my near future, I think living in Canada automatically makes me cold enough.
