Day 183: Gratitude 23

Gratitude of the Day: Good Sleep

The past few days, I’ve had amazing sleep. I’ve gone to bed at a reasonable time and then wake up when the sun comes up before my alarm. I’ve feel immensely well rested and ready for the day. It really does change your whole perspective about life and about the day. I feel so much better when I sleep well (as I’m sure we all do!) and I’m really thankful for these past few days where my sleep has been top notch. Not sure if I’m doing anything differently than usual, but hopefully I can figure out a way to replicate it easily across the days so I can continue getting good rest. Good sleep equals a happier, healthier me.

Until tomorrow.

Day 117: Hi again!

It’s me! I’ve been MIA for many, many days. I got my promotion at work and then radio silence basically. A few team members were sick or traveling for work and then we had a major event coming up and so I really only had time for one thing. My life the past few weeks has just been work, eat, sleep, repeat. I’ve never clocked over forty-five hours previously, but now I’m getting close to sixty. It really is exhausting.  I don’t know how people do this for years.

I really haven’t had time to do anything else in my life these past few weeks. I wrote for ten minutes today before I had to rest and take a nap. I skipped ballet and I’ve cancelled on so many dates in the past couple weeks, I think of myself as a flake now. It’s no good. (I am making way more money than I thought though…)

I didn’t think it was going to be like this. And maybe it’ll get better in the future. It really has to. Maybe it’ll be better once I know what I’m doing and can just do it at the drop of a hat without doubting myself…but if it doesn’t then I don’t think I can do this in the long term. We’ll see. I need to go take my second nap of the day now.

Until tomorrow.

248 days to go.
