So I posted here about my intention to create a new habit of waking early and taking some me time, mostly focused on my spiritual and physical wellbeing. I'm doing pretty well on the waking up early part. I've been waking usually at 6:00, but on reflection I'm going to try and move it back to 5:45. I haven't yet made it to the exercise part, it is so lovely to have that quiet, restful time to myself! I'm planning to start something tomorrow morning in this regard. I'm thinking it maybe a yoga video at 7:00 with J and L.
I'm also finding it very easy to fill this early morning hour with "work" - prepping the school day when I'm behind, writing blog posts, catching up on forum duties. All things I mostly enjoy but it isn't my intention to use this morning time on obligations. So, I need to be disciplined with not letting those types of things creep in. The going to bed at a reasonable time part has been a real challenge for me. Reasonable for me is 10:00, but it usually is 11:00 or 11:30 by the time my head hits the pillow. The school days after a 10:00 bedtime are usually much more enjoyable for everyone.
