Early to Rise Challenge…Building Habits
I know it takes time to change. To make a new habit takes time and consistency. When I started this challenge I really wasn’t sure I was going to like getting up earlier than I already did. I already had a habit, a plan for each morning. Why change it?
But from that first morning when I realized the peace I can start my day with, I was hooked. While I am building this habit, I don’t have to think about 10 or 20 days from now. The only time that matters is the present day. Will I meet the challenge and get up and put my feet to the floor today? Or will I snuggle back into bed, is the only decision I need to make.
I think that is where I have gone wrong with building other habits. I just start to think and worry about too many things off in the future instead of concentrating on the here and now. Today I made the decision to get up with the alarm.
The time I stumbled out of bed was,
What habit you are working on developing in your life? If you are working on getting up earlier what time did you get up today?

I skipped early and enjoyed the moment… David’s Nana (the cat) wanted cuddles!
It’s so hard to give up snuggling with a pet isn’t. I am glad you took the time to enjoy cuddling with the cat.
Good for you, Shelly! I got out of bed around 7:04 am today. 🙂
