Trying to start waking up at 6 AM again to get more done, hasn't really been working out lately. Therefore, I have been sleeping really late and missing jiu jitsu.
The year started off great and continued strong with the storage cleaning event. This week I started having problems sleeping for the first time that I can remember. I just took a 25 mg diphenhydramine, a melatonin supplement and a sleepy time peach tea. I already feel drowsy.
I have a tournament next weekend, but I have always had trouble being motivated to fight tournaments. There is good competition somewhere... but I can't bring myself to fight hard when there is nothing to gain by winning.
My number one focus right now is getting my sleeping back under control. I also need to prepare my Bamboo Massage presentation for Friday morning. I want to start learning better Chinese and Japanese using Italki and Skype. I would love to find the secret to putting more effort into the things I do. I have been been staying on a healthy diet and completed the daunting task of cleaning the trash out of my dad's storage unit (with help). The year is going to be more focused on school and less on jiu jitsu and weightlifting then I would like, but it is very important how much I can stay focused and juggle volunteering because it is the last year before medical school.
Today I was late waking up, but I managed to catch up on what I needed to do at night. Tomorrow I want to wake up at 6 AM.
I feel optimistic today.
