Sleeping Sin

Disaster!!!  For the first time since May 3rd, I missed my 4 a.m. wake-up.
 
But this is actually good news!!

Why?

Because I felt really bad about it. It made me mad. The reason I overslept is because I had a good time on Sunday and wound up staying up a bit later than I should have. So, I paid the price...  It's infuriating to be put off my game like this!

Sometimes our emotions send us messages we don't really "get." For example. when we're mad we just feel... mad. In this case, my anger is a positive sign that I'm committed to my regiment, that it's not just a pose or a momentary flight of fancy.

So what do I do about botching my Monday wake-up?

I carry on as usual, try to make up for the lost hours by working even harder today and get up at 4 a.m. tomorrow!
