2nd February, 2022

Hello everyone, good and generous people of read community. I welcome you all to the second month of the year 2022. It a dream come true. Past January was a bae and with all hope, we are expecting the lovely best this new month; February. may love lead this month in all our endeavors I pray.

Today in my article, as I was thinking of what to write, I found out that the more I lay on my bed, the more I kept thinking of what to write without coming to a point. My spirit was willing to put something down but my body was weak to the necessary actions. This can be funny but at a time, it wasn't funny. If I had continued, who knows I would keep thinking about what to write the entire day and come up with nothing.

Oh my goodness! I whispered, checked the time and it already an hour plus since I woke up. Though I awoke late because of reading my books at night but I had it in mind always to have something to put on read. Something meaningful though. The time was speeding and I have some other things to catch up when suddenly, I came back to myself and left that comfort zone (my bed) to a chair. Initially, I didn't seat down, I have to stand up till I come up with something before getting my ass down on the bed. Not again on the bed! until I came up with something to write about today and will definitely be my second post for the day.

After composing the post, I remembered how it was a thug of war for me getting up from my bed and doing the needful. At that point, I began to remember other days that has been so. Sometimes or let me say most times when I go to bed early and wake up so early for classes or other functions, I stay back on the bed for thirty minutes to one hour before getting up. This is gradually forming a tradition to me and I have to fight it. But do I blame myself? yes.... the other day was the cool and cold weather I blamed because in my place now, we are having harmattan season and it always cool and cold in The morning. So everyone love the morning sleep especially Rita my friend. She can sleep for Africa! I never seen a lady like her when it comes t sleeping in the morning this harmattan season.

The other way round, I relate to myself on other things I do entirely, my lifestyle and endeavors especially when I make plans for something and I end up not following my plans as I initially planned them. Could this be another form.of procrastination? I thought in my mind. Well, who knows;

This has affected not just only me but my friends. For instance those days at secondary school.. before the term kicks off, we are already hungry for classes and get ready to be in school. We use to tell ourselves that we have to start reading up all the recommended texts and get ready for exams and forthcoming tests.. this is always easily said then done. Sometimes, I start with myself to read these books but at a time, I don't know what happens next. I look to find out that it has been days I opened my books last. Body is weak and my spirit is willing.

I am happy to say that, this weird attitude doesn't really take a whole of me. It happens for a while and stops immediately I go after what I want to do. Could this be common? yes.

One afternoon I called my friend Rita for the only class we have for the day, we are to go so early because there are number of students that will be sitting for the lectures. we had earlier agreed to wake up early and get there before everyone. When I called, she picked the call and after talking, she went back to sleep. Her eyes were heavy with sleep when I got to her and I had to leave her for the classes. Lucky for her, I reserved a seat for her after she can late.When I asked her her reasons, she said she woke up early but was watching the time. She said to herself that in the next couple of minutes, she will get up and this continued till she came late to class. I didn't blame her but told her to be more real to her self.

This literally happens to everyone in one way or the other and one thing about this so common is that it always about time. We have to fight this out and keep away from it. I don't want it to happen to me or my friends anymore, I wanna set my time table and follow it up accordingly.

Having bunches of ideas and resolutions to do isn't the big thing, it about starting the execution. When we are high in spirits, we can have unimaginable thoughts going through our mind but when it is time to make things happen, the body sometimes becomes weak...I pray this stops happening to Gianna-B and friends.
