Trading Negative Hours For Positive Time

I used to stay up late drinking, watching TV and playing video games. I developed severe insomnia for a long time and felt like I was stuck in a slow downward spiral. I was living in the negative hours past most people's bedtimes, and the cost was my physical and mental health.

Then my father passed away, and I decided I didn't want my family sitting around my death bed watching life slip away from me due to all of the bad decisions that I made.

So I flipped my days.

I started by waking up at 4:30 AM every morning. This caused my insomnia to vanish within a week. Then, I began cooking healthy breakfasts for myself which became part of my new ritual. After breakfast, I go to the gym until it's time for me to go to work. I flipped my days on their heads so that my time spent not working and not spending time with my family worked for my benefit and not against it. I'm stronger, leaner, and my mental clarity is through the roof.

I feel alive again.
