More to the Story Podcast with Janna Maron What if you’re right on time?
For months now, maybe even a year or more, I have been wanting to spend 10 minutes, first thing in the morning, drinking my coffee outside.
I set up the perfect spot to sit, with chairs facing east toward the rising sun, moved the gas fire pit over to the chairs. But for some reason I couldn’t get myself to take my coffee outside in the mornings.
Actually I know exactly the reasons:
1. It’s been winter time, and cold, and less sunny, and not the ideal weather for wanting to be outside.
2. Because of the time I get up in the mornings, I would wake up, look at the clock and automatically think, “I’m behind.”
In this episode:
- more about why I sleep so much, which precipitated the “I’m behind” narrative
- a conversation with a friend who was telling herself the same thing, about a completely different situation
- how we both got ourselves out of the “I’m behind” cycle and laughed at ourselves
- how you can get out of that cycle too
