Bruce Bear's Journal, 09 Jan 23

I'm going to try to move my wake up alarm to 8am and get my exercise done before 9am. I'm going to start this tomorrow because I can't seem to fix my sleep and I feel like I'm slowly moving towards my old sleep patterns when I was less healthier. I'm going to change my big breakfast to lunch and have a smaller breakfast after my exercise. ideally I want to have a 10pm to 7am sleep schedule, I simply hate missing most of the morning because I'm not waking up in time to enjoy it. I woke at my usual 9am by my alarm today but immediately fell asleep again to wake up at 10:45am. Which in turn made me have breakfast at noon and I've been watching Netflix most of the day. Things have to change I've got to change if I'm going to keep my mind right. I feel somewhat petty/stupid also because this is my current problem when I know people have bigger problems in the world.

You can get there Bruce. Small steps. I have started setting my alarm 30 minutes earlier so that I walk for half an hour before getting ready for work. Then before tea I will do the same walk around the park. It’s getting easier every time, and although sometimes I drag myself out of bed, I love the cool of the early mornings.

Don't feel stupid. Looking after yourself needs to be your priority. When you are happy and more energetic you are more able to help others and make a difference ☺️

No stupid here! Our struggles are *our* struggles, no comparing with others. I too find it reeeeeaaaaallllly hard to wake up. Like, I set 6 alarms, at 5 min intervals, with 2 mins snooze each, and it *still* takes me *over an hour* to wake up. Maybe try 5-15 mins earlier than what you're used to, and slowly build from there? Exercising earlier in the day can help with sleep, but also do what works for you. As long as you're not doing intense exercise in the 3 hours prior to bedtime, it won't dramatically effect sleep. Keep trying new things, you'll find those that work for you 💚

I was in the same mood yesterday. By 3PM, all I'd managed to do was eat, do one load of laundry and watch Netflix. Then I kicked myself in the butt, took myself to the gym, hopped on the elliptical machine, and continued watching Netflix while getting some exercise! Win! if you can get to a gym or get an exercise bike or something at home, you can binge-watch Netflix and exercise all day if you want.!😁💪
