Goal: Wake up at 6 AM every morning
Date: 1-22-2025
Goal Description and Resource: I want to wake up at 6 AM every seven days of the week. This means I need to start putting distractions to the side at night to get a good sleep. I will put my phone across the room at 9:30 with the alarm set for 6. This way when it goes off I will need to get up to turn it off. I will let my mom know about my goal, and she will remind me to put things away at that time. However, there are some exceptions to going to bed that early. On weekends I may stay up later with friends or family, but with that, I will still wake up at 6 AM to continue the cycle.

Update 1: It has been a week off striving towards my goal of waking up at 6 AM every morning. So far, there have been both positives and negatives within the journey. The positive is feeling more energized a prepared for the day because of having time to get ready in the mornings. I don't have to rush to get my things together before school. The negative is that I tend to sleep on some days depending on what is happening that morning. If I don't necessarily have to get up at 6 AM, then I end up pressing snooze or waiting longer to wake up. Another negative is my lack of putting technology away before bed. I want to work on the negatives to help improve my journey towards this goal.

Update 2: My goal went better the first week than the second. I think this is because I was determinded at first, but feel out of that commitment after a little bit. The thing I would like to change would be my resources, and possibly having my parents be more stern with me about waking up, and to possibly be more strict with putting my technology away earlier. However, I would love to continue working towards this goal, because it has shown positives in my everyday life for the past two weeks.
Goal: I aim to journal the positives of my day every night.

Update 1: To help me journal my positives every night, I will put a reminder on my bedside table. This way, I will always see the reminder, and remember to jot down my positives of the day. I will also be more creative with my positives by adding drawings or coloring to each one. I may find it more fun when I add creativity to the goal.
