Late – this morning has me sitting around later than usual.
Because of it, I have to work until 7 PM tonight – and the rest of my day tends to spiral out of control.
My tardiness is a problem, and i would love to get to the bottom of it. There are excuses of course – I was out late last night with friends, but it was something I didn’t need to go to.
How did this end up this way? I made it happen with me not taking this stuff seriously. Its a habit I built up through years of just not creating boundaries. To lack control seems to lead to a lack of sanity. To be wild is not to be free, it is to be chained by your own emotions.
I have been reading a lot of stoicism lately. The theme that pops up throughout the reading is that control is the way to freedom.
Control and habit seem to be the way I will get the rest of my life done right.
It isn’t all bad though. For the last week I have held fast to several habits. One being the write three things I am thankful for and another being writing in this blog every day and showering as soon as I wake up.
I am thankful for that, and hopefully I can start to add some more routine to the evening and morning. Then I can always be sure that something gets done and there is movement.
