I will not confirm, nor deny, whether I have been caught with a scowl on my face at 6:00am {insert “I’m working on it” emoji}, but come 6:15 I have some serious love for my day already. #thankgurrrd

A while ago I set myself a goal to become a morning person. Because who doesn’t want to become a morning person.

Not only is it the most peaceful and lovely time of day, but every fancy-pants-successful-Oprah-Branson-esk person wakes up before 5:00.

People always say the best way to reach your goal is to focus focus focus on that goal.

Big Mistake.

Well, for me it was.

By focusing on that goal, I overwhelmed myself with all the reminders and memories I had of “never being a morning” person.

Seriously. This girl loved herself an 11am breakfast.

The one thing that changed for me?

Letting go of the goal, and falling in love with the process.

Focusing on the present baby moments of the process, instead of thinking about the giant results that I wanted.

Results will come, if we make it through the journey.

But the only way we’ll make it through the journey is by having a damn good time journeying.

So I found a way to fall in love with all the things that had to do with becoming a morning person.

And boy did that include some failures and flops along the way.

So what effort have you made to fall in love with your journey?
