And so ends the last day!
Okay, time for some evaluation. When I look back at the days, I’ve not been so strict at the first goal, to get up at 7 am, or getting up between 7-9 on weekends. But I’ve learned a great deal about my sleep! I’ve discovered that I can get over the initial period of adjustment, which can lead to me sleeping very few hours for a couple of days, and I also get very cranky those days. As long as I know it, I can do something about it! So, even though I’ve not met this goal, I still feel it’s been very valuable to me! Now I get up at around 8 every weekday morning, and feel good about it! I know that I can push it to 6-7 if I really need to. Will have to try someday to see how it makes me feel after 30 days
The second goal has had the biggest impact om my wellbeing. Eating at regular hours 5 days a week has done wonders for me. One of the advantages is that I’m not so addicted to sugar anymore, and I also feel healthier and have a different energy level than before! So this is a clear success!
The last goal is the one that hasn’t given me so much, even thought it’s the single goal that I actually met most of the days. I think I will try a new spin on this later, with actually setting a minimum time I wish to spend reading emails every day, those days I have access to my computer, to get my inbox empty more often.
So, all in all I’m very happy I began with this experiment! I’ve learned some great things about myself! Especially in the sleeping and food departments. I will continue to get up at 8 on weekdays, and eating at regular hours.
Now it’s soon time to start with another 30-day trial!
