Getting Out of Bed

Getting Out of Bed

Hello!

If you’ve been tracking my blog posts, you may be aware that Sundays are about stating accomplishments or rites of passage…

So?

I want to share a huge accomplishment that makes all things possible:

Getting out of bed.

Even right after my psychotic break in 2006, I refused to stay in bed. Yes. I had one day when I allowed myself to go BACK to bed after I got up

BUT BUT BUT

I immediately got out to walk several miles. Yup. I was super freaked out.

And nope!!

I don’t stay in bed no matter how tempting it can be. Dudes!! I gotta get shit down that’s not gonna do itself.

Another layer was added when I stayed in that South Central Los Angeles transitional housing:

MAKING MY BED

See… They talked about if you make your bed? You start your day with an accomplishment under your belt. Awesome to begin your morning with a winning tack record. Totally sets up the rest of the day for success.

Since that idea was explained to me? I haven’t missed a day of making my bed except on laundry days. Why yes… It’s unsettling to see my bed be a big mess.

EXCEPT

It’s good to realize how something so small can have such a big impact just like how getting out of bed allows me to make progress on everything happening in life.

Very cool!!

As always: Have a glamorous day for fun!!
