As posted earlier, our challenge for this month is:

“First we make our habits, then our habits make us.” - Charles C. Noble

I acknowledge that I have been close to being obsessed with my 21-day challenge to adhere to a good sleep routine. It’s been challenging and very eventful, and I’d like to share with you some of the experiences I’ve had when going through the challenge.

If you haven’t yet, you will need to first read the Logical Goal associated with this challenge in order to appreciate the foundation behind what is reflected upon in this article.

The Will for the Way

Going to bed early and waking up early has been one of my most difficult challenges, and I was determined to make big changes this time!

I would have never imagined that…
