Small, Positive Changes

Published on by ClaudiaLeave a comment

Since June 12th, when Lilly moved into my heart and home, my schedule changed slightly. Instead of crawling out of bed around 8:15 AM, the day gets going a bit early at the moment. Due to the toasty summer temperatures currently, I get up around 6:15 AM so we can enjoy our morning walk before it gets too warm for her paws (on the pavement ) and her overall comfort.
Instead of being parked in front of the TV a good part of the evening, we have our late night walkies around 9:30 PM. When we return, I may end up checking out if there’s anything of interest on TV. Most often I doze off anyway. Around 11 PM Lilly wants to turn in for the night and I follow her lead. If I’m not quite tired enough, I read a few pages to help me get sleepy.
These small changes truly have a positive effect. Since beginning the day with fresh air and movement, I feel better and more productive. Also my sleep has improved. All thanks to a little cutie, who won’t accept any excuse to skip one of our excursions ❤🐾

When do you feel most productive?

I can best concentrate and am most productive early in the morning. As the day progresses, it takes increasingly more conscious effort to motivate myself and remain focused on the tasks at hand.
