Waking Up

I wake-up each day at 3 am. Sometimes I am greeted by the morning train, the sounds of my stirring neighbor or to a yawning puppy. Even the dog knows when we wake up in this family. We wake up at 3 am to fit in all that we would like to do. A few days in the mornings we go to the gym. Mostly we play games and simply hang out drinking lots of water. Yet this habit took months to take as before we were used to rushing around 5 am to get everything done. In the beginning it was a chore but developed into a lifestyle we enjoy.

Therefore, so is the same with this journey of my new paradigm shift. I wake-up still at 3 am but journal for a bit. I am able to empty my mind onto the page and possibly work through a couple of annoyances at the same time. Today I had to remind myself of why this paradigm shift will take so long and will be so difficult to accomplish. The road even to here has been a delight. My attitude at work is so much better, I can truly focus and I have all but stopped complaining. Now I just need the energy to get up and move. I know the only way to get there is through yoga. I stare at the gym membership and I stare at my computer where I know I can find my mantras and my routines. This feeling of being comfortable with this so uncomfortable life is hard to remove.

All I have is today and what I choose to do with my time. The time I use today will set me up for success in the future. I must decide and move towards something.
