6am: moving along the shades of dawn
I finally made it!
Clocking into bed at 10pm last night, after some reading (it’s required discipline, tough move when the TV is right in front of you), I woke up this morning at 5:45am to make ready for the gym. I was probably this close to ‘hecking it again’. This time, I got up and I did it.
I’m exercising 6am in the morning, I found it rather crazy till I found other similar shadows starting the day, and gently we all smile at one another as if to reassure one another, that you’re not alone or perhaps, well, let’s see if we’ll see you tomorrow. hehe.
Nonetheless, it was an entirely great process – absolutely no traffic, ample parking, the gym was not stuffy and filled with sweat at all, my mind was clear and not exhausted from the day. It was very uplifting for me. I made a clear reason to go in for a workout and sped off after, showering at home and making breakfast. I would be able to save time that way then to lug my work clothes and toiletries. So in this proportion, things are working out quite swiftly. Clocking into to work just before 8:30 is about the same time I would normally like to get into work.
So this looks promising, obviously the promise to deliver must come from me. Popularly, in most working culture, there’s the overpromise-underdeliver phenomena :0 But it really feels good at this moment, to get one of the big things out of the way and I am well energized from the workout, blood is pumping, well fed with a good bowl of cereal.
Shared the moment with my neighbouring colleague yesterday about my plan, and suggested that would never happen and if it does, wouldn’t that be extremely boring to be sleeping at 10. Perhaps so, but personally, if I need to get things going for myself, I really need to strive for such discipline.
So, this is day 1. I don’t know how long this will go for, am hoping it become a part of life and good cycle. As I look at my schedule for the months ahead, with rehearsals, classes and respective workload – I really need to use my time wisely. Also, I’m praying that God will protect my time and that I may use it effectively and not forgetting my personal time with him.
Since moving out, and living alone; I always say this, when people ask me, “Don’t you feel alone or lonely?” I simply replied, “well, you’re never really alone, there’s always God or the devil, it’s a choice”
And to many choices that we make, I’m glad I started today with the right one
