Morning person challenge - week 1!

Hi all! So here we are one whole week of March has passed already! I feel like it's going so quickly! Which is great for getting to Easter and such but not great for the looming exams and dissertation I have to hand in!

This past week doing the 30 day morning person challenge has, well it's been a bit of a challenge! Surprisingly! I'm going to be perfectly honest right now and say for this week I have failed a bit. I ended up getting up at 8am most days (due to not sleeping very well). I think knowing I have an alarm set for 7am in the morning was as silly as it sounds hindering my going to sleep. I just kept focusing on getting up again... What I'll do with my time in the morning etc. I did eventually get back into the habit of sleeping nearly straight away at the end of the week, using some techniques to help bring on the land of nod! Basically I just counted back from 100 and It worked perfectly, I always think I'm going to reach 0 in my head but never do! 

So there we are, I some what failed this week, however I'm not going to let this set me back, I shall carry on for the whole month as planned, hopefully seeing positive changes as I progress. I did wake up at 7am this morning, however I did stay in bed until 8am! But I don't think that's too bad going! I'm going to also try and not only internalise my motivation (personal gains etc) but also externalise it too this week by trying to imagine how horrible it would be if by next Monday I'm reporting in the next weekly post that I've failed once again! My motivations have once again been boosted and I shall let you know what happens next Monday! 

Anyone else struggling or has struggled with a 30 day challenge? Comment below!
