You’re probably wondering why the title of this blog post is misspelled.  Actually, it’s not.  It’s an acronym for Bored, Lonely, Anxious, Hungry, Stressed, and Tired.  Why’s this important?  If you feel anyone of those six things, then you’re more likely to be ornery, unmotivated, unproductive, and lapse into your “comfort” mode routines.  I first learned about this in November and it made a lot of sense at the time.  However, as I’ve started to look more closely at myself, I realize even more now how true BLAHST is.

I slept really well on Sunday night.  I wasn’t restless during the night and it felt like I got plenty of sleep.  I also ate breakfast Monday morning.  As a result, on Monday, I was extremely productive at work, I was in a good mood all day, I enjoyed life, etc.  Whereas, last night, I didn’t sleep well at all. I didn’t go to bed early and I had to get up earlier than usual this morning.  I was restless all night and didn’t sleep well.  I also didn’t eat breakfast this morning.  I feel drained, on edge, very unproductive, and unmotivated today.

I guess the lesson I need to learn in all of this is I need to go to bed early so I can get at least eight hours of sleep each night.  And, I need to eat breakfast every morning.  If I do these things, I think I’ll be more apt to exercise, eat healthy, do my work, hang out with friends, clean, and all those other necessary/fun things life throws my way.
