47. Shifting Your Perspective

Earlier this past week my partner Deryk and I talked about changing bedtimes for our children. The girls have been getting up far too early and since most nights I don't get to bed until 11pm that means I'm not getting the sleep I need. And I hate to admit when I'm tired, I like to only give energy and gratitude for sleep and being well rested even when it's not true. Right. The law of attraction...and we have to be careful how much energy we give to the things we actually don't want in our lives.

So this past week our youngest went to bed 30 minutes later, our new bedtime plan and the following morning she woke up at 4:30am, fifteen minutes earlier that she had been. Like wide awake.

And so that morning and the early mornings that have followed make us feel like the effort we're putting in, isn't producing positive results. And that can get frustrating. This has even started to affect my relationship with Deryk. We're both exhausted and fighting each other on who deserves to sleep in more.

So here's how I look at this and I hope maybe if you're in a place of overwhelm or exhaustion you can benefit from this as well.
