Election? What election?

Maybe it’s leftover PTSD from 2016, but I’m surprisingly reluctant to look at any news until tomorrow morning.

It gives me extra motivation to get to bed early — with my book — making it the perfect night for this meme.

Early to rise

It was a long day and a full night, and I’ve got an early morning ahead of me.

And because I’ve been gradually re-establishing some very desirable morning routines I’m quite motivated not to oversleep.

So, good night!

Gathering photos

A good thing about my Swamiji stories project is that it will motivate me to find, organize, and scan the photos that go with the stories.

Stated another way, I’ll have to gather the photos that go with my stories of Swamiji!

Oh HECK yeah!

Today I experienced the most enjoyable doctor’s appointment ever.

What made it such a wonderful experience? The fact that I have been doing things right (for once)!

In other words:
👉 My weight is down.
👉 My blood pressure readings are down.
👉 And my blood sugar levels are so far down that I get to discontinue one of my medications!

So, am I motivated to keep doing what I’ve been doing? You’d better believe it! 😊

Both reward AND motivation

I think this incredibly beautiful sunrise was Divine Mother giving me a combination of reward and motivation as month #2 of early morning wake-ups gets fully underway!

She certainly got my attention with this one!
