I am not a morning person, but I am up early every morning. So, I like to get up get a cup of coffee and wake up before my son. Everyone I know thinks this is crazy and sometimes I think it is too, but I want to be in a good mood in the mornings and this is the only way I know to do it.
In order to get everything done and have the time to wake up - I find myself rushing around - half awake, in order to relax and have some me time. Does this make sense? So, do I get up earlier?
NO! This morning I decided to just SLOW DOWN. This is not as easy as it sounds for me. I asked myself - does the me time make me in a good mood or does just being awake make me in a better mood... I slowed down and enjoyed just being awake. I concentrated on just being in the moment...I took my time making the coffee, turning off the alarm etc and I am in a pretty good mood!
So, now I am wondering how much other stuff I do in a day, in order to get ready to relax or have fun or be happy...today I am going to try to slow down all day and see what happens. I'll let ya know how it goes...

Did it work? Whenever I try to slow down, the babies have other plans :)
It worked ok...for a bit. However, by about noon - I felt like I was in total chaos!!! So, I can only slow down so much - I HAVE to get some stuff done or my day is a MESS!!! :(
I've tried slowing down too. Like you, things started off ok but as the day passed, I started panicking and rushing around.
Guess the opportunity to slow down will come much later when baby is a lot older!
