"Im having a great day! but im still pissed!"

Alright, so yesterday i started tools to life and i committed to finishing all 90 days of the program and following all the exercises and checklists as much as i can.

So last night i set my alarm at 1130am, i usually sleep at 4 or 5am. for those who are wondering, thats really how my day goes.

Anyway, i slept at 5am after wathching serveral back episodes of Project Runway Season 1 (im trying to get inspiration for a photo project) and woke up at 9am instead of 1130.

What made me wake up? Well my dad woke me up and asked me to do a quick house chore and was i pissed off.. you know how it is when you lack sleep and people suddenly wake you up, and you realize it doesnt have to be you? (he could have just asked anyone in the house, why me?!) ... but i told myself quickly that im committed to the program and still did what i was on the checklist.. turn off the alarm, clap, then i said "im having a great day".. went down to the bathroom (trying to look confident and not pissed), wash my face, brush my teeth, looked in the mirror and said "the day is mine!". Well i did it...

.. but there was something wrong.. i still didnt feel good about anything and I was still pissed off because of what happened.

So what did i do?

I couldnt take the emotion away in that instant. So i had a brilliant idea. Im telling you this is brilliant. There was a solution, yes :)

So i finished the chore. It took me 10 minutes to do it. I still felt bad. not because i was doing the chore, but because i woke up pissed off. After that, i set my alarm clock to 1130 and went back to sleep :) Usualy id just stay awake when im already awake but i did go back to sleep.

I woke up at 1130, only a second after the alarm went off,  sprung to my feet, turned off the alarm, claped my hands, excitedly said "IM having a great day", ran to the bathroom. washed my face smiling, brushed my teeth,faced the mirror, and told myself in the mirror 3 times, "The day is mine"

And it was amazing, like i forgot what i was feeling the first time i woke up today..

and my Yahoo Messenger blurb now says

" If you find yourself waking up on the wrong side of the bed, go back to sleep and remember to wake up on the other side this time"

and you know what.. I am having a great day.
