Energised

I honestly do not even know where to start with this one.


Energised?


Energy.


Motivation.


Moving.


Inspiration.


I feel like there is so much more to energised then I could even imagine to cover but here I am trying to bring just a little of my own insight into this.


I think the best place for me to start is with a further introduction of myself.


I am literally know as the goblin amongst my friends, I like to stay in my room and be alone and watch netflix. On my days off I don't like to move from my bed at all besides to get food and I sure as hell don't like to do anything remotely close to exercise.


Now as you know from my other blogs I am about to hit you with my fav excuse:


I am too tired.

As a gemini and being a social butterfly this really draws at my heartstrings. I don't like to be like this and I sure as hell don't want to be like this. So how do I stop?


Entering into 2019 I have decided to become more self aware and this started with looking at my number one excuse I am always too tired and it didn't take a rocket science to draw a short line to the why my next favourite excuse:


I have to work.

I find that these two go hand in hand and really compliment each other. So it was here that is started and tried to really make a decent effort into eliminating the two.


I work in an environment that is physical, it is hands on, it is demanding and it involves a lot of communication, so it really was no surprise when thinking about it that there is a reason i was always tired.


However this was all eliminated when I came across my new best friend.


As a religious 'sleeperiner' it almost blasphemy to go against myself and say this but speaking from experience I can without a doubt say that this has helped me and made me not only a more energised person but an overall better person to spend time with, to work with and also selfishly a better person when it comes to setting and achieving goals.


WAKE UP EARLY

I know, I know, I know. You have probably heard this a million times and if you are trolling through this types of blogs I am sure that it is written twice the amount of times that you have ever heard it.


But I swear by it.


On Jan 1st 2019 I decided that from now everyday no matter what I was doing, I was waking up at 6am and I was not going back to sleep. It is now the 29th of Jan as I write this blog, probably even later by the time I post it and I have woken up every day at 6am. This may seem like a reasonable time to some and it may seem like a sleep in to other, but for me it was an hour before I had to start getting ready on my work days and it was a nice two hours that I got to spend feeling in my own time on my days off.


I even took it as far as waking up at 5am on work days so that I was able to go out for a long walk before my day started and still be back home in time to spend that nice little hour all to myself and my thoughts.


So far I have spent my hours doing all sorts of things that really vary:


  • Sometimes I wake up and make myself a nice little breakfast and sit in silence, just thinking.

  • Sometimes I get up and do all my washing, I have plenty of time to do 2 loads before my day can start and then I don't have to worry about it when I get home.

  • Sometimes I journal, I wake up inspired and ready to go so I jot it all down so I don't lose it.

  • Anddddddd, sometimes I just remain in bed scrolling Instagram or looking at Pinterest, getting ideas and really just chilling before my day starts

Honestly I can not go back, I really can not. I crave my hour alone to my thoughts before my day starts that I started to wake up early to fit exercise in and still be home in plenty of time to have one solid hour to myself.


I will be real with you though, the first week was hard it was really hard to keep it going then came the second week which was so much easier and now being just over 3 weeks into it there are mornings when that alarm sounds like the devil screaming in my ear but you just have to do it. That's what I keep telling myself and it gets done and every morning I thank myself that I did agree to it and I committed.
