Made Some Big Changes Recently

[Vagabond 007]

These may not be big to you, but to me, they are.

I am a night owl. Have been for the past 17 years or so. I really enjoy being up late and HATE getting up early. However, I'm also a very curious person and was wondering what would happen IF I did get up early.

The past few months or so I kept reading/hearing about how a lot of successful people get up early. Since I hate getting up early and love my nights, I've never really cared to get up early.

But, curiosity has won out.

2 weeks ago I started setting my alarm earlier than usual (usually an hour or two earlier).

Last week Monday-Friday I was only able to get up early one time. This week I did it 4 times. AND, today I was up at 8 am.

Me.
Up at 8 am.
On a Saturday.
Hell has frozen over.

Did a few things and around 10 my gf got up and saw what I accomplished. She was shocked! She asked what has gotten into me.

I said it's simple. "I want a better life than the one I have now."


I also started taking protein shakes every day. I don't eat meat and I don't drink milk. So I never get a lot of protein. Tried shakes in the past and I HATED THEM!

I still don't enjoy them, but I've been consistent for the past 2 weeks taking them. I take them with milk, so I get the 6 grams of protein form that as well as the protein powder.

I was taking one a day about 2 weeks ago. And the past week or so I've been taking 2 a day.

Another change, I used to drink a half gallon of iced tea a day. About 4 weeks ago I switched to water. I still drink the tea, just not as often. Now I consume at least 100 ounces of water per day.

Also have something big happening this upcoming week that may lead to big changes.

It's amazing what a few changes DONE CONSISTENTLY can do for a person. I wouldn't say I enjoy getting up early. But, the feeling I get when I get things done and look at the clock and it's not even 10 am yet, that feeling is incredible! I did more today by 10 am than I did all last Sunday.

This post isn't too brag, it's just a little reminder that you can change your life whenever you want. And changes can happen really fast. All it takes is different actions than what you are doing now. And doing them everyday.

"Little hinges swing big doors."


TL;DR - I'm a night owl, I hate mornings. But I'm also a curious person. So I started trying to get up early to see what would happen. Struggled at first, now it's getting a little easier. Change happens when you do things differently. Change can happen quickly.
