Get out of bed. That's the hardest thing I've had to do the past couple weeks. Just get up. Some days it takes all the strength I've managed to gain from a not-so-restful night, to sit up, push off the blankets I've burrowed into, plant my feet on the carpet, and stand up without hitting my head on the light fixture.
I haven't slept well in years, but I've grown used to that. What I'm not willing to get used to is being lazy. This would probably be a good time to tell you what my definition of lazy is. If I go an entire day without reading, I'm being lazy. If I go an entire day without listening to good music, I've been lazy. If I go an entire day without talking to and spending time with my family, I've been lazy. If I don't dance from one room to the next, at least once, I am being lazy. If I don't check at least one thing off my daily checklist, I've been lazy. If I don't even bother to MAKE a daily checklist, I am beyond lazy. I have to do SOMETHING. Something that teaches me, or enlightens me, or makes me better. I refuse to live a life without growth.
That's why I'm taking my New Year resolutions (which I normally don't even make) very seriously this year. I've chosen to take control of my own health. I've chosen to work harder in school. I've chosen to increase my spirituality. In other words, I've chosen to not let myself be lazy.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
