No use just writing about changes I want, I need to execute this stuff as well otherwise I’m just a loser hahaha.
The change I want to implement into my life : joining The 5AM Club!
So far I have;
1. read a bit about it. So that I have some informative support from those with far more experience than myself.

2. Downloaded an app called “Loop Habit Tracker” to my phone. For motivation.

3. Harassed my family, Ambrose and friends to join me on this. This is typical Nicci behavior! I have always preached about stuff that I found and excite me to those closest around me. Now that I am far far away from everyone I know, Ambrose is away most of the day for work and I have absolutely no friends I am doing my preaching here hahahha beeeyyoonnd sad, but it is as it is now as my dear friend and role model Eckhart Tolle tells us. 😉

4. I wrote down a few but important points about firstly, what I want to get out from this and secondly, what I will do during this additional time I will gain from getting up earlier. Well, I do this to have at least one hour 100% dedicated just to Myself & my Goal. AND I do this to overcome my procrastination.

5. I’m not going to lie. This gave me some anxiety, I thought to myself well, what the fuck are you going to do EVERY morning at 5am for 66 days that will drive you closer to your goal?!?! But just as quickly I decided to NOT make life so difficult. I am going to get the fuck up, accept that I am tired and unmotivated and I am going to do just one – small or big thing. Meditate, a Tabata workout, do a couple of sun salutation sequences, skipping ropes at the terrace while I watch the sun go up, listen to a podcast, write in my journal (this is my journal). Simple as that.

6. Take advice from those with experience. Here is what Ive learned from others;

– Go to bed early, around 10 -11 PM. Which is fine by me, me and Ambrose go to bed around 9PM the latest.

– Track my Habit. Done and Done! My app is installed on my phone and ready to go.

– Avoiding TV, laptop and phone 20 minutes before bedtime. This used to be so easy back in Europe but here Ambros’s family are watching the news every day, something I haven’t done for years! Its really hard to avoid listening to the TV when its on and they are talking about all the crazy stuff going on in the world. And Ambrose himself is one of those people who LOVES learning new things all the time, always reading. I actually call him my personal Google, whenever I want to know something I´ll ask him. Cant be bothered with Google:ing like normal people anymore haha. And if he don’t know something, 9 times out of 10 he goes silent and you know he is reading about it. He is the most curious person Ive ever met. He is Curious Bob for sure! ❤

– Keep my alarm far away from my bed. This way it harder to find excuses to snooze and continue sleeping.

Yeay I am really motivated! Now to when to actually start my 66 days? Just remembered that we hired a house in Newcastle for this weekend for a big party Ambrose friends are having. I want to start this but how hard is it going to be do get up at 5AM after a party with crazy Australians? Or maybe this is the best challenge ever? hmmmm

Has anyone read “ The Monk who sold his Ferrari ” by Robin Sharma? If not, I highly recommend this book. Ive read it twice while living in Barcelona and this book opened my eyes and was kind of assisting me during some pretty challenging time in my life. The reason why I mention this book at all is because that I after seeing the whole US election circus last night felt a bit as ” this is kind of overwhelming, disturbing and chaotic. I feel powerless and tired of the world but what can I do”. And I know alot of people have the same thoughts and feelings when shocking events in the world directly or indirectly hit us. The feeling of “well, what can I do about it ?” surely goes true most of peoples heads in times like this. And true, most of us cannot change much on a bigger scale, but if it is true as all the greats say, that we are all connected, that each one of us are part of the whole energy that makes up the totality of our Universe and its outcomes. Then maybe it is also true that  each one of us are a bit responsible for all the shit that is occurring. Over and over again. Maybe if each one of us started making even the slightest changes with our self to be greater, then perhaps we together could assist the world to be a bit greater as a whole.

Ive posted a link to a short video by Robin Sharma where he explains our Habits, and how we can in 66 days ( this is scientifically proven) change our habits, or more correctly, add habits that we want to see in our self. Who knows, one small habit change such as becoming and spreading more kindness and positivity around might do some good for our planet. Now imagine a couple of million of us doing this….

So Donald Trump is the president now, well that’s interesting…..
