I can’t do it. Maybe it’s the time of year with it being winter so coughs and colds being common and also dark in the mornings but I cannot get up any earlier than I would usually get up. Every single night one of my three children disturbs my sleep or my youngest wakes at the time my alarm is due so no time for my SAVERS anyway. If I do I get woken by my 5.30am alarm after a sleepless night I literally switch it off and think ‘no way’ and just go back to sleep. Nothing can persuade me to get out of bed that early. I’m still up every day by 6.30am I am an early riser but usually my toddler would be up at that time and the whole miracle is in the quiet time before the day begins.
I have even become quite angry with the book and can’t bring myself to read it now. I find myself feeling abit cross with Hal Elrod for being a man. lol. I assume when he gets up at silly o’ clock every morning his wife has been the one who deals with the kids in the night and then probably wakes up when they do to deal with them again all while he is meditating and reading. Sorry serious negative vibes going on here.
I guess the answer is that they communicate with each other and have decided for him to provide for the family his job is getting up early and working towards their future. Unfortunately in my house it’s my partner who goes to work, he should be the one doing the miracle morning! I am learning that in this period of my life the Miracle Morning is not for me. When little dude is older and likes sleeping in a bit longer then maybe I can come back to The Miracle Morning idea.
I am using some of the ideas in the book so it hasn’t been a complete waste of time. For example I scribble in my Gratitude journal every morning, and sometimes use the time before the big boys wake to write these fascinating insights into my brain. So alongside the feelings of failing at productive morning time I do have some sense of achievement as well.
I love a self help book and I have mentioned before my dislike for not finishing a book but this one is going to have to be shelved. Anyone have any recommendations of self help books that encourage you to get little sleep and lie in late? I might be able to get on board with those miracles…!!
Thanks for reading
