Waking in the night and other habits

On Facebook today I got a newsfeed that a friend had become a fan of “Waking in the night and then realising that you still have hours left to sleep” I smiled when I read this remembering how, once upon a time I really was a fan of exactly that!

There was a time when I drove my poor husband to distraction by waking up between 3.10am and 3.25am every night. I would wake up, I would sit up, I would peer at the clock before lying back down and happily going back to sleep. Worse than that though, I was very short sighted and couldnt see the clock easily but would not settle until I knew the time, so after a while my husband started to wake up to tell me the time, settling me more quickly and disturbing him less. And then one grumpy, tired morning he exploded! This really was happening every night and he had had enough! He wanted to know  why I did it. I explained that I liked to know what time it was because I liked to know I still had plenty of time left to sleep. An answer which he did not appreciate. Because I loved my husband and could see that this waking in the night really had become a bad habit I decided to stop doing it.

Throughout our lives we pick up habits, some good, some bad, many of which we are totally unaware of.  When coaching at Infin8life an integral part of the coaching process involves helping clients  identify those habits which hinder them and using NLP and coaching, replace them with habits that benefit them and help them move forwards in their lives.

If you have a habit that you don’t want anymore consider talking to a Life Coach or NLP practitioner because they know how to help.
