Noteworthy

I think today is the 5th day that I have run through my routine and the third day I have done it in the morning.  It was easier today.  I didn't want to get out of bed, but it was easier to do so than to not.  I think the steps have already sunk into my subconscious.  Once I'm out of bed, I'm on autopilot.

I am relearning a lesson I learned at the beginning of this year that decisions are like dominoes.  Healthy decisions lead to more healthy decisions just like poor decisions lead to more of the same, even in small things. My dominoes are falling in a healthy direction, and I like the feel of it.  Getting up earlier leaves me time to make my lunch which is healthier and more costly.  It also makes me more tired by the time evening rolls around, which means I am getting more sleep and it is easier to fall asleep.  I feel like I am getting better sleep, too.  And exercising my will with this discipline helps me to make better decisions in other areas.  I am not spending as much money.  I am saying no to more things that aren't beneficial.  I like that life is built in a way that turns small choices into lifestyle changes.
