Beginning a Morning Routine
Star this Commitment
Week 9 of 9
EmiDee commits to:
Wake up every morning before or at 9:30 am, regardless of what time I go to bed the night before, or how tired I am in the morning. I also commit to doing a full yoga session each and every morning, no matter where I am or what I need to do, I will leave myself enough time to complete this.

| Day 8: Well I didn't wake up on time today, but I did still do my yoga when I did finally wake up. It's not perfection, but it's definitely progress. | |

Day 5: Well today was a bit of a disaster. I was out drinking and partying last night, and had Amanda crash on my couch so I guess I subconsciously wrote off my commitment. I shut off my alarm, woke up at 1 pm and did no yoga of any kind... ugh. It worries me because one of my biggest willpower breakers is my touch of perfectionism... you know, if I muck things up even slightly, I give up on the whole endeavor. Last night while I was reading my book, though, I read a very interesting passage on Benjamin Franklin's system for cultivating virtue. He would cultivate only one virtue for a week, and anytime he failed to live up to his standard of that, he would put a big black dot on the day... he then cycled through all the virtues and commended himself on his overall progress, rather than reprimanding himself for his vice. While I've always logically known that progress is a journey and not a destination, I guess seeing that kind of finally drove it home. Just because today gets my 'big black dot' does not mean that I cannot successfully continue with things. I am allowed to make mistakes on this routine building journey, and I'm okay with that. Tomorrow is another day! |
