I've been waking up before 7 AM for the last couple of weeks (working on getting up earlier, but I go to bed too late.)

I feel good. I'm more energetic, even though I work like a madman at the gym and I wake up early(ish.)  It's easier to read my Bible (after working out, I'm a bit of a zombie before working out, I'm hoping that'll change as well.)  

Lots of small life-changes going on, it's really exciting. I don't know if it's coming from the consistent waking up earlier, or the consistent Bible reading, but I feel that God is waking me up from this stupor that I've been living in.

Here are the main things that have changed, maybe one will help you.

1. Consistent Bible reading. I'm reading one Psalm, one Proverb, one chapter of Acts, one chapter of the leadership-ish books of the Bible (1/2 Timothy, Titus) and one chapter of the book that I'm teaching from (Ruth.)  I've gone through Ruth 9 times already, I'm well into my second reading of Acts and Proverbs, and I'm on Proverbs 36.  Consistent Bible reading = da bomb.

2. Consistently waking up earlier, and going to the gym. Those 40-60 mins in the gym give me an incredible energy throughout the day. Combine that with my Bible reading, and by the time I step out the door, I'm ready to face the world!

3. I just started this yesterday, so I can't talk about it with a ton of experience, but better money handling. I am writing down every single thing I spend money on, and I definitely noticed yesterday that I didn't buy some junk that I wanted to, because I knew I was going to write it down.

That actually brings me to my last thought. Sometimes breaking one bad habit by itself (let's say junk-food eating in my case,) is actually EASIER while creating a good habit that has something to do with your bad habit (I want to control my money and stop buying junk food. It's easier to break the bad habit when the good habit is helping me along.)

My website not be working tomorrow, I know you'll miss me. I'll just talk more on Facebook :)
