And I just need to choose to do it!
How many times have we said these words? “I know what I need to do.” Diabetes educators hear them often. Unless they are brand new at diabetes, people often don’t need explanations about checking blood glucose levels, exercising, or eating vegetables. They just need to make the choice. I’m certainly no different.
Last week I was thinking about how the school year has started and almost every morning I’ve been dragging; getting a slow start. It occurred to me (not for the first time) that it’s my choice to go to bed on time, get up on time, and get started on time. And last night I made that choice, and so far I’m on a better track this morning.
This doesn’t mean that I’ll keep it up forever. And the nice thing is that I can “start over” as many times as necessary – for the rest of my life. But it’s also nice to know that I’m in charge of making things work smoothly, and that I can do it.
Here’s to a productive day, and to Ben Franklin, who was really onto something with that whole “early to bed, early to rise” idea.
