Health: Routine

Part of this intention is going to really clash with my life style. I am a very spontaneous person. I stay up very late and have lots of trouble waking up in the morning. Sometimes during the day i’ll have boosts of energy and other times I feel completely drained. I am committing to be in bed by 10:45pm every night and hopefully asleep by 11pm. I will be putting my iPhone away around 10pm and avoiding screens to allow my brain to start shutting down. Another practice I picked up in China because most Chinese do this is showering at night. I always used to just shower in the morning before I went off to work but doing this at night feels so good. Crawling into bed nice and clean helps me fall asleep.


Waking up at 6am and heading straight to the gym every morning is tough but doing it with Blake makes it a lot easier. It makes me more motivated. Its easier to cancel plans with myself, but I am more likely to keep plans if they are with someone else. Workouts are more fun with a partner too. Especially with someone as competitive as he is.

So between showering before bed, a set sleep schedule, putting down the phone, and hitting the gym before the sun comes up every day (besides Sundays) I will maintain a healthy routine.
