This past semester I failed to uphold one of my New Years' resolutions which was to be in bed every night before 1 am. I wanted to get in a healthier schedule for my body and my success in school. I did well in the beginning of the semester going to bed relatively early every night. Then, it began to get progressively worse especially with the onset of the quarantine. What I learned is I have the potential to accomplish this in the right setting and not being able to do it this whole semester just gives me more fuel to do it next semester.
I think of failure as a very valuable learning tool as it may be hard or embarrassing, but it teaches us what not to do. Failure is a key component of success which I think this class has done a good job of explaining. I handle failure with a positive attitude because as long as you're still breathing and can pursue your goals, you're already winning. Learning how to move on from failures and take away the necessary information is a crucial concept for an entrepreneur so they can move on and not make that same mistake again. I feel like I am more likely to take a risk now than I was a few months ago.
Hey Andrew,
ReplyDeleteNice job with this post. I have also faced a similar issue of going to bed at a reasonable hour and have also made it a goal to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. I did somewhat well in the beginning of college but as time went on, I got progressively worse. With quarantine, I have never been so bad; waking up at 12pm and going to bed at 3am. Definitely something I need to work on as well! I liked what you said about failure and definitely agree you must handle it with a positive attitude.
Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be so hard on yourself! Staying inside for a month on end with no where to go will definitely mess up someones sleep schedule. I have a feeling everyone is experiencing it, I am too. Ultimately you are right, the important thing you learned from that experience is you are completely capable of adjusting your sleep schedule to a proper one. Now that you know that, the anxiety and stress will be gone and you'll be able to complete this goal much more easily. Great post!
Hey Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI know it may be a bit difficult to get some sleep, especially with the global pandemic. Honestly as long as you're able to sleep your eight hours, I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. You and probably thousands of others are going through exactly what you're going through. If you actively and consciously think to yourself of the goals that you want to achieve, they'll be in sight. Great Post.
Andrew
ReplyDeleteGreat post, like you I have also had a lot of trouble going to bed early and waking up early. This problem has progressed for years. Sometimes My body goes to sleep early and sometimes it stays up until four in the morning. I like how you talked about learning to adjust your sleep schedule as well. Great post, can't wait to read more.
