the miracle morning thirty-day challenge

(english version is available below)

последние несколько лет меня интересуют темы самопознания и саморазвития. в результате, все это время я нахожусь в состоянии постоянного изучения того, кем я есть сейчас, кем я хочу стать в будущем и как я могу это сделать. а еще, всех тех подходов, которые могут мне в этом помочь. в январе я прочла книгу хэла элрода "магия утра", а потом начала описанную в ней программу. я решила, что буду следовать ей на протяжении тридцати дни, а потом определю, хочу ли я продолжать. сегодня я хочу поделиться с тобой своим опытом и своими впечатлениями.

i have been extremely interested in self-exploration and personal development for the past few years. it has been a very exciting learning process of who i am now, who i want to be in the future and how i can do it, as well as the techniques that could help me. in january, i read "the miracle morning" by hal elrod and then started following the program described in it. i decided that i would follow it for thirty days and then figure out, whether i want to continue. today, i would like to share my experience and impressions with you.

do and don`t

a couple of days ago i was contacted by valya, a founder of milestone, a blog about productivity. she asked me to share my life dos and don`ts, and naturally i agreed. i must say that it was much easier to come up with dos than with don`ts, which is why there are seven of the former and just three of the latter. after writing the list, i realized that i was satisfied with the result, so i translated it in order to share it here with you. the initial publication is available here.

on waking up even earlier

(текст на русском - ниже)

hello! maybe you know, maybe you don`t, but last year i wrote a couple of posts dedicated to mornings. one was about my morning routine and another one was about waking up early. there were a few months in between them, and now six months later i feel like it is perfectly fine to touch upon this subject again. why? well, because i have recently decided to wake up even earlier. i must admit, that doing so gives me an opportunity to do what i enjoy the most, therefore i have extreme motivation, but sometimes it is hard anyway.

on waking up early

(текст на русском - ниже)

as a child i could not understand why my mother kept on waking up early even on weekends. yes, i knew she had a busy schedule and a lot of home routine to cope with, but i also thought that if she could not get rest on the weekend, when would she? for me weekends meant an opportunity to go to bed late and then sleep for as long as possible. it seemed like it made a lot of sense until i realized that it did not at all, but it took me a while. it was a breakthrough when i understood - if you wake up at the same time every day, it is never stressful for your body and your mind; it is much easier and more enjoyable. even though i have already written a post about my morning routine, i would like to tell you about my early mornings and their importance.
