I have felt tired and lethargic during the last month and forgot to take action to improve the balance in my life. However I believe my relationships and close family score have increased because I have started making more dates to meet up with friends and family, in fact we had friends round for dinner on Saturday night and took the opportunity to use as much of our wedding china as possible, producing a 4 course dinner. I have decreased the level for money because I have not done any of my usual routine during the last month, such as checking statements. 

What I am most disappointed with is that I have not worked on identifying my goals, let alone taking action to achieve them. In fact, I have been lying to myself that I am working on them when actually I’ve just been faffing and stalling.To make up for this I am going to sit down with some paper this evening and make some good progress at the start of the next 30 days.

I’ve chosen to consider how sleep affects my happiness first because I think it has the most obvious effect. You know when you’re tired everything will be just that little bit harder, things will irritate a little bit more and its more difficult to remain calm, positive and, well, happy.

I’ve never been a good sleeper. In fact, my mother tells me I only slept for 3 hours a day as a baby. Wouldn’t it be great if that was the case now, all that extra time to get things done.

However my problem, now, is not being able to get to sleep; I don’t understand people like the husband who can fall asleep in the middle of a sentence or if he sits still for too long. So it frequently takes me an hour or two to get to sleep and I will then sleep until the alarm goes off when I wake up tired. What I would like, is to fall asleep quicker so I got more sleep and would then hopefully feel less tired, happier and may wake up earlier and have more time in the day.
