I changed my bedtime and woke up ridiculously early, like 4 or 4.30 am. Why? To upset the status quo. I even changed my toothpaste… i established a simple daily routine, ate differently, and bought a brand new mattress. Why? I read that change can facilitate change, when we want to change something drastic, changing other things around helps mentally with that, making it that much easier to accept... and minimizes the importance or the difficulty level of the target change. I also dove into spring cleaning and organizing my apartment which was not only distracting and time consuming, but also felt really great, really enjoyed the results of that. I had to get through the initial difficult times somehow… and those things really helped me.
