The first 2 minutes of something new is often uncomfortable, perhaps scary! Waking up earlier than normal = uncomfortable. But it’s just those first 2 minutes you gotta get through!
LESSONS:
Comfort is the enemy
The discomfort goes away after only a few minutes
Remind yourself that you CAN build momentum that works in your favor.
Make an internal deal with yourself to just do 1 thing moving forward.
Remember, doing 1 thing is 100% more than zero!
