I did it, I'm officially a morning person!steemCreated with Sketch.

Today marks my 3rd week "anniversary" of waking up early. That means if it takes 21 days to develop a habit, then mine has already developed.flat,550x550,075,f.u2.jpg

Anyway, whether or not that's true (it probably isn't), I'm glad to be waking up early now and plan on maintaining that habit forever. If you'd like to read the "story" of what motivated me to change my sleep schedule, click right here.

Now I don't know what my next goal will be, but I'll have one in due time.

However, I'm the type of person who won't be motivated to change unless I "experience" something convincing me to do so. For example, even though I knew the benefits of waking up in the morning, I couldn't visualize the difference it would make. I was also comfortable staying up all night; what I didn't like were the consequences. And that's the thing:

We like our bad habits, we just don't like their consequences.


People like junk food, but they don't like being obese. People like smoking a lot, but they don't like the c-word (not that one; the 6-lettered c-word). Observing the struggles of others with the same bad habits, or finding yourself in a situation that really makes you understand how self-destructive your habits are, can be a huge motivation slap while you still have the time to change.

Alright, that's it for now. That was my update. I won't be posting much in the days to come; just roaming around the site, commenting, replying and upvoting.
