The bump in the road knocked me on my butt for a bit

I hit my bump yesterday, the day before the Tools  lesson on it. How ironic. But today's lesson helped me put yesterday in perspective.

I was tired because even tho I'm faithfully implementing my sleep rituals, I still am waking up 3-4 times during the night.

I did use the breathing technique + the "relax" mantra one night to help me fall right back to sleep instead of letting my racing thoughts keep me awake - and it worked really well!

But it didn't work on Sunday night, no matter how hard I tried and so I was very ill-rested when Monday morning came about.

I was grumpy all day, I wasn't particularily nice when talking to Mom, I ate candy for the first time in a while, and I stayed up late and read in bed, totally blowing off my nighttime ritual.

I was mad at myself for fluffing it, but today I resolved to forget about it and dive right back in full-force. So it was funny and wonderful to see that today's topic was about the bump. Glad I survived and didn't self-destruct.

I survived and kept going because positive life change is too important to me to let a little something like the lazy, negative side of my self get in the way!
