New habit starting TONIGHT
I'm committing (gulp) to a new habit starting tonight, since my morning "routine" is 22 days strong.. At 10:00 pm (or before), I will turn my phone OFF for the night and put it in the upstairs bathroom. Am I on my phone THAT much?? No...but the fact is, I keep falling asleep with earbuds in😅😅..which means I am passing out at some point without realizing it.. So this is the next step in the evolution of my year of FOUNDATION and EXPERIMENTATION. I'm using the atomic habits framework to create it. I'm also scaffolding myself as I transition. I'm letting myself watch a show downstairs at night. And when I go upstairs, I can have my lamp on and read, etc. Just not use the phone. I'm going to think of it as putting my phone to bed. 🤣 I'm making it much less necessary to have to use willpower. If it is down the hall and OFF, it is much more inconvenient to use than to NOT use. Also, since I do tappings etc as part of my morning routine, having my phone waiting for me in bathroom will give me even more oomph to get up in the morning. This honestly wouldn't even be hard for me if I had a partner.. because I would WANT to spend the quality time with the partner. That's just how I am. But I realized I need to do it anyway. For me. To give myself a CHANCE at real restorative rest. Love you guys! I hope this encourages someone to start a self-loving habit as well! We are in this together 😊
