I can't sleep because...

Colleagues,

MVP: If you don’t know the problem, you can’t identify the solution.
 
One obvious challenge to a morning routine is getting up early enough to not be in a hurry. Getting up late is a symptom, not the cause. The question then is…
 
Why is it hard to get up early?
 
Because we stay up late watching television.
 
Why do we stay up late watching television? 
 
To shut our brains down. 
 
Why do we need to do that? 
 
Because we will wake up in the middle of the night.
 
Why will we wake up in the middle of the night?
 
Because we are worried about work.
 
So, if we learn to stop worrying about work, we can go to bed earlier and sleep through the night, which should allow us to get up in time to care for ourselves?
 
Yes.
 
So, the problem is not being able to stop worrying about work. Once we understand that, we can focus our efforts in that direction.
 
Today’s intention: Think about the traditional ways people try and get themselves to be better at their routines. Is learning to not worry about work something that routinely pops up?

Cheers!
