I have been lecturing myself in my journal for weeks, maybe even months.
I must……
I need….
I will….
Finally yesterday I stopped lecturing myself and did something about it.
I have always been an early riser. It’s probably in part having my grandparents live with us as we grew up and hearing my Grandad stand outside with the first cigarette of the day taking in the dawn. Old farmer’s habits are hard to break.
But my 5.30 am risings the past few months have not had the same feel. I wasn’t greeting the dawn or the day.
The default has been to go to my desk with the first cup of coffee, open the computer and get lost in non-urgent stuff.
An hour later I still have not read, journaled or meditated. All of which I know makes a difference for me.
After doing some rearranging physically and mentally yesterday evening, this morning was different.
Small changes can make a bigger difference than you think. It’s sometimes as simple as to stop lecturing yourself and lead by behaviour.
