Learning Challenge: Happiness, Try the Happiness Jar (Second Week)
I chose to do a happiness challenge for my H.E.A.R.T challenge last week. To accomplish the challenge, I laid out a detailed plan and tried to follow the rules I had set a week ago.
Nevertheless, this challenge, unfortunately, has been a very difficult challenge for me. I have failed to follow the rules I've set pretty miserably and only stick to the rules I set for a couple of days after last Sunday.
These are the steps that I had laid out last Sunday.
1. I will work and study only until 9:15 PM.
2. From 9:15 PM to 9:30 PM, I will take a shower to get ready for sound sleep
3. At 9:30 PM, I will be lying on my bed.
4. Until 10:00 PM, I will try some sleep-inducing tips such as reading novels and listening classical music.
5. From 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, I will be asleep.
On Monday and Tuesday, October 29th and October 30th, I did stick to the step 1 through 5. Nevertheless, starting on Wednesday, October 31st, which was the Halloween Day, I lost the track of my sleep. My friends invited me to their massive party, and I failed to go to bed at night on that day. I went straight into classes the next morning. After I was released from the classes, I went straight back to sleep. I got up at 1 am and I couldn't sleep.
So since Wednesday, I've been having the bad pattern of irregular, nocturnal sleep pattern again. I was tired all day during classes and often would doze off.
However, I haven't given up on this great challenge, and I am going to try again starting today. Although I'm very tired during the day, I'll try my best to stay awake until 10 pm and go to bed on time.
