How to be a Great Parent
Wish I could say it was for something fabulous, but it wasn’t. For the past 7 days, my sleep has been all over the place. I’m up when everyone else in NYC is asleep and asleep when everyone is up. It was ok over the weekend but during the work week, it is creating some interesting caffeine habits.
Thankfully, I know why this is happening. I spent two weeks on the other side of the earth and my body is taking its time to adjust to Eastern Standard Time.
One of the things that is keeping me going is my routine. I have a strong morning routine and evening routine when I am home. Getting back into those habits, along with some self-discipline is a life saver.
What does that actually mean?
It means that while I woke up at 3:30 in the morning, I did not let myself get out of bed until 6:30am. When I did get out of bed, I did my morning routine (shower, get dressed, meditate, breakfast…). Acting as if it was a normal day and not like I had already been up for 3 hours. Knowing what normal means is super helpful.
What is your normal? What are the habits that you can go back to when things feel wacky?
