Thread: day/night=life/death

Does anyone ever feel this similarity? In the morning I am more energetic, don't give a damn about anything, no matter how much work there is to be done I just screw around, have fun, I feel that everything will somehow turn out just fine. And in the evening I start to wisen up, so I start making promises for tomorrow. I say tomorrow I'll eat more healthy, I'll meditate properly, do my homework, blah blah. But in the next morning I'm back to my laid-back self.

It's exactly the same with life and death. Guys in their forties, sometimes even their thirties start getting wise and get wiser with every year. They start telling young people how they regret their mistakes and how different they would have done it, but that it's all too late. I seriously doubt they would. They are just like me in the evening, talking nonsense. But if they could somehow go back to their youth they would make the mistakes all over again. Because in the morning or youth, when life is full of possibilties your mindset is simply way different than when you're near the end.

Well, I am like you on the whole "making plans in bed" part - usually I can't fall asleep because I'm thinking like "I'll start exercising tomorrow!" or "I will do blablabla" etc, and I feel so motivated. But then in the morning I forget all about those plans or just don't want to do them. However I definitely don't feel energetic in the morning, I feel like dying lol. In the evening I'm much more "alive", although that might simply be because I'm not sleepy.

When you wake up in the morning you should imitate Natsu and yell "IM ALL FIRED UP NOW!!!"

Anyone who spends all their time talking about how they would of changed stuff when they were younger, are not really wise. How can you tell? Because a wise person would realize that they are still alive and can do that stuff now.

What you should do is use your evening motivation to do something right away, that evening. If you can't get off your butt to do something at your peak motivation, you are obviously not going to do it tomorrow in the morning. Of course it is possible you might do something and then come tomorrow morning you given up on it, but at least you got that one evening of progress and that is something.

I do. Most of my progress on the violin is in the evening, I almost never meditate in the morning, I work out mostly in the evening
