You Have A Sleep Pattern?

It's day 156 of documenting 2025.

Intro. Intro. Intro.

There, it's done.

Let's move on to the good part.

There's no chat with AI, because I decided to go to bed early last night.

By early, I mean before 10pm.

That's my early....but if I lived alone, it would be by 9pm.

Lately, lately, 

I've been thinking 🤔

About my sleep pattern and how it's affecting some areas of my life.

My current sleep pattern isn't serving me well....I'm going to change it.

Being a night owl is kinda effective when I don't have somewhere to get to in the morning.

As it is now, I have work to wake up and prepare for.

So, I have to sleep early.

I realized that the hard way after waking up late yesterday morning.

The entire morning routine was scrambled for me, my younger brother and my sister because I slipped back into bed after turning off the morning alarm.

Good thing the school where I teach is close to my house.

I just had to plead with my dad to finish cooking breakfast for me.

And I dashed off.

Well, I'm awake today, typing by 3am in the morning.

And I don't feel as tired.

This 'experiment' has confirmed it.

It's time to make a switch.

I'm smiling now, because I know someone who would always emphasize on proper sleep.

"You need sleep, as a growing young woman", he said once.

I hear you, PK 😏

Anyhoo...

I will adjust and implement a new sleep pattern from now on.

And I've done it before...so I can do it again.

Let's see how it goes.

Time for Highlights!

Oh, and by the way, I still don't know what you think about this blog.

📌 On Wanting What We Already Have

"One wonderful way to tame our tendency to always want more is to persuade ourselves to want the things we already have."

Quote by William B. Irvine

Hmm...

This carries a lot of meaning.

Who doesn't want more?

But my thought is, there are some times when we have to convince ourselves that what we have is already enough.

I'm living in those times, my friend.

"You can persuade yourself to want the things you have by abstaining from them for a period of time or imagining they’re no longer available for you.  It doesn’t apply just to food. 

Things can disappear in a blink of an eye — including your house, car, clothes, family members, spouse, a comfortable bed, a warm shower, or your health."

"When you feel the threat of losing something you hold dearly, you’ll start wanting it with more intensity than ever before. 

As a result, you’ll work harder to keep it in your life and stop craving other things."

"In many aspects, your life is already incredible. 

You just need to remind yourself that you can lose it, so that you can relearn its value for you."

Hear that? 👂

Your life is already incredible.

No matter where you're reading this from, you're already living a life that someone out there is praying for.

Believe it.

You can strive to achieve more, but don't forget to appreciate what you already have.

That's all for Highlights...but no!

I'm not done.

I also read a section of the very last chapter of The Ultimate Focus Strategy.

(I'm almost done with it! 🥲)

If you don't know, the book is written by Martin Meadows, who's also the author of 365 Days With Self-discipline.

So, a particular section stood out to me and I just had to share it.

It felt like it was meant for me and I hope it feels that way for you too.

Here it goes:

Always Think Bigger

The moment you rest on your laurels is the moment the clock starts ticking to reverse your growth. 

Don’t mistake it with not being happy with what you already have and become one of those people who, no matter what they get, are always unhappy because they want more. 

Appreciation is one thing, and the

quest for growth is another. By always thinking bigger, you’ll cultivate habits that will help you stay successful and attract even more of the good things in your life.

I admit it 😐

I rest on my laurels sometimes.

That's why this stood out to me.

I'm on that quest for growth and this time, I will stay successful.

I hope it's the same way for you too.

Happy Thursday.

Thanks for reading, my friend 🎀
