an autobiography of an owl enjoying night
Answers
As a night owl, my creative juices usually start flowing when most people are already in bed. I’ve been able to get myself to bed at a normal time most nights – but every now and then (ahem, like last night) I get hit with an idea that keeps me up – very late. And then I’m all sluggish the next day. Not fun.
Despite what others may think, I’m quite content being a night owl – and see no reason to “fix” myself. Some days I’m tired (coffee anyone?) and I need to make some modifications to my schedule – but for the most part I’m ok with it. Just because I avoid early morning meetings and generally prefer to sleep in later than most (especially on weekends), it does NOT mean I’m lazy or unproductive. I just work with my own rhythm so that can unleash my fabulous self :)
Here’s the thing – we need to accept who we are and how we’re created – strengths, weakness and all. It does not mean we cannot work to change a few things about ourselves – but always start with self-love and acceptance. Sometimes, not fitting in with the norm is what makes us special and draws others to us.
