Waking up STRONG in the morning
When you’re battling demons, it seems to be the true punishment comes at night and in the morning. The “down” time when you’d be filling yourself with sometime to account for the silence. For me, I go to bed just short of broken, usually too tired to wish or worry anymore. The mornings bring a distinct sort of weariness usually resulting from a lack of sleep and accumulated toll of stress and angst. The sound of the alarm clock is the tyranny of my job, my family and everyone else in my life who insists I get out of bed every day.
Today I got up without all of the aforementioned drama. I woke up feeling refreshed and not tired. I woke up because I had gone to bed knowing I did what I wanted to do that day.
I really needed this today.
That is the key, doing what you want to do and shedding some of that responsibility. When your mind is clear at night then you’ll have a calm sleep. That’s also why watching the news before bed is a terrible stresser.
