We don’t negotiate with terrorists

We are our own biggest critics and worst enemies. If we’d get out of our heads and just go for it there’s no limit to what we could do. Don’t negotiate with yourself, set a rule and follow it, even if it’s small and seems silly. My fiancée gets up every morning at 4 to do whatever the hell it is he does that early, but I follow and I get up at 5, every morning like clockwork even if I don’t want to. I’m 8 months pregnant with a 10 month old daughter and no matter how exhausted I am I or how I feel I get my happy ass up and do my morning routine which consists of: 1. I do a 10 minute ridiculous looking intense workout 2. Follow up the work out with 10 minutes of yoga 3. I brush my teeth 4. I go get my coffee and make the baby a bottle 5. I read my daily meditation and self help book 6. If they haven’t woken up on their own yet I go wake up my son for school and get him ready and wake up his sister for her breakfast 7. I do the dishes and eat a bowl of Cheerios. I do this same routine every morning and I feel great, some mornings I try to make excuses as to why I should sleep in or skip a step but doing so leaves me feeling exhausted and unaccomplished. Now if my big ass can get up every morning and do the same routine you can set some rules for yourself. I promise it will help. Keeping your word to yourself is just as important as keeping your word in any other relationship.
