There is something that I have known about myself for years and years but have in the past year been ignoring unfortunately. I am an early riser. I like waking up before the sun and I enjoy getting stuff done when most others are still snuggled in bed. I don’t know why but it has always been this way. Even as a youngster, I would wake up bright and early…. often to the annoyance of my friends who would often spend the night. No matter how late I stay up, I will be up earlier than later. I feel more energetic from 5am to about 11am and then again in the evening from about 7pm to 11pm. When I worked at home as a freelance designer, I would often work those hours and take a big nap in the middle of the day. It was great.

This past year I have been ignoring my own bodies rhythms and have not been as productive nor very good to myself. I have been staying up late and trying to catch up by sleeping later and then I woke up still tired and completely out of sorts. I have found myself to be cranky and annoyed more easily than usual and really that isn’t me at all.

So this week I have been getting up at 5 every morning and, as expected, I am getting so much done and I have more energy than I have in a while. I even made it to the gym last night! It is good to be getting back on my game. I was starting to feel like a lump and that is no good.
