On November 10th I wrote this post about how my sleep hygiene was horrible. 

Over the years I had developed some really bad habits, and the worst one was being dependent on watching the television or iPad in order to fall asleep.

I could not fall asleep without that distraction to calm my brain down or distract me from racing thoughts.

I’ve been doing A LOT of work on myself in the last few years, but that one habit was one that no matter how hard I tried, I could not break.

I couldn’t even fathom it, really.

Last month I finally got to the point where I was ready to change that.

I quit cold turkey on November 10th.

I was going to see how many days in a row I could go.

I made myself a 100 day habit tracker.

(You can get it by clicking here).

I made it through the first seven days without a hitch.

And now, 23 days later, I’M STILL GOING STRONG.

Twenty-three days in a row of no iPad in bed.

Fuck you, iPad!!!

This weekend, with a full three weeks under my belt, I stepped things up a notch.

You know I’m going through a divorce and right now the kids’ dad and I are still living in the same house.

He has his parenting nights and I have mine.

On the nights I’m not with the kids I’ve been staying at my parents’ house.

This past weekend I was at their house.

And you know what I did?

I LEFT THE FUCKING IPAD THERE.

ON PURPOSE.

At least for the month of December, it’s staying with my parents.

They don’t have an iPad or an iPhone, so now they can Facetime the kids and the kids can Facetime them any time they want. So it was a win-win. 

My kids, my parents, and I all benefitted from that decision.

Twenty-four days ago I couldn’t imagine going to sleep without my iPad blankie.

And now?

Now I don’t really even think about it.

I did have a moment of weakness around day fourteen, but fortunately my mom busted me attempting to bring it upstairs, the Mom Guilt won, and the iPad-less chain remained unbroken.

I am really proud of myself.

And you know what?

Again I showed myself that nothing is impossible and that everything is a matter of mindset.

You can do anything you set your mind to. 

You just gotta learn how to do it.

Is there something you think you could never do?

Is there something you’ve tried repeatedly to start (or stop) without success?

I CAN RELATE!
