Today started off with one of my worst habits.....killing the alarm and jumping right back into bed. I honestly have no idea what the rationale for this is and have a dozen or so absences from my 7:30 MWF class to prove it is counterproductive. Is this relative? Extra sleep = more productivity?
At this point, I do not believe my investment in more sleep has provided me with fuel or an advantage to be more productive or successful. However....
Not all can be fixed at once. I have recognized this counterproductive habit and put value into the afflictive emotion and anxiety it creates in my life. I will remind myself before bed with a note card reminding me of the bad habit I wish to avoid when I wake in the morning.
In addition, I did manage to vary a bad habit/resist its temptation today. In social settings, I have a certain "topic" which people expect me to always contribute to. However, today, I did not take the initiative and put in my 2 cents on the topic. I merely sat back and enjoyed the discussion by listening. Unfortunately, someone noticed I was not commenting and made it a point to bring me to the point of discussion. I cracked......but it was not the same habit. It was a success. The new issue that has arisen dependently from this experience....peer pressure? One more for the notecards!!
