#90. Day 10 of Waking Up at 5AM: Great Mornings Start the Night Before

Day 10 of testing if waking up at 5AM will change my life. We're officially in double digits, babies. Ten days into my 5AM challenge, I'm learning something surprising: waking up early isn't actually the hardest part. Going to bed on time so I don't dread it is.In this Day 10 check-in, I'm sharing the reality behind building new habits, especially with ADHD. The excitement of starting something new is beginning to wear off, the novelty is slightly fading, and I'm entering the phase where consistency matters more than motivation.I talk about:• The struggle of creating healthy nighttime habits when the kids are at their dad's (where my single moms at?)• How doom scrolling, late-night TV, and "just one more thing" can sabotage even the best morning routine• The evening routine I'm experimenting with to support better sleep and more consistent mornings• Why habit building often requires replacing old behaviors, not just eliminating them• The role community and accountability play in personal growth and self-improvementIf you're trying to wake up earlier, build better habits, improve your productivity, or simply become more consistent with the promises you make to yourself, this episode is a reminder that progress isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, even when the excitement fades.And to everyone who's been sending me 5AM texts, DMs, and messages - you might be the reason this challenge is still going strong 💕Because becoming the person you want to be doesn't happen overnight - but it might happen one small habit at a time... and we're about to find out. Support the show💸 Want to support the pod?
