What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?
SLEEP.
Maintaining a regular sleep routine and getting a full 8 hours of sleep every night has been the toughest for me. 😩 I’m not sure why, but when nighttime comes, I suddenly have this burst of energy, and the later it gets, my brain just keeps going. I become extra creative the later it gets. So many ideas flood my mind, inspired by anything that piques my interest. I might write a quote or a poem about something I’ve read, watched, or thought about. I could be post-processing photographs or creating digital art. I could be cooking or baking something because of a new recipe idea or something I saw on YouTube. Once, I even got caught learning a dance choreography in the wee hours because I couldn’t stop thinking about it and just had to do it. My husband woke up and found me dancing in the living room. 🤣 I’m quietly laughing as I type this. He was like, ‘Mama, what are you doing?’ with a concerned look on his face. 🤣 I didn’t mean to make him worry, and I’ve made sure not to repeat that late-night dance performance. I just do it quietly in the bedroom now using my Bluetooth. Those darn TikTok dance challenges! 🤣😂
So, that’s my most challenging personal goal. I used to have a solid routine where I was in bed and asleep before 10:30 pm on workdays and before midnight on weekends. I’m not sure what happened, but lately, I find myself going to bed early on some days and being a night owl on most days. I’m working on it because I know I can do it; I just need to make that commitment, similar to other things I do. 😊
