I wrote three models today on the same subject; my alarm clock:)
The first two are UM and I think the third is a bridge thought in a model.

UM
C-alarm to wake up in the morning
T-I need to be ahead
F-anxiety
A-wake up repeatedly during night, jump at the slightest sound, check clock repeatedly/resist checking clock repeatedly
R- My worry about ‘ahead’ puts me behind

This model reveals a repeated pattern of scarcity thinking, failing, and thinking somewhere else would be better than here.

UM
C-alarm to wake up in the morning
T-I don’t have to listen to you
F-resistance
A-stay in bed longer, justify, argue with myself, criticize myself for arguing…
R-I don’t honor myself by listening to my plan

This model reveals that I let my primitive brain take over, conveniently ‘forgetting’ that I had my best interest in mind when I created my schedule.

In the past I have used will power and other methods to overcome this ‘successfully’…but in reality, I have bounced back and forth between these two models for years. My best ‘success’ has been rewarding my anxiety…which isn’t a pleasant feeling to live in (even though the result is that I am out of bed early!)
So I created this model:

Bridge model?

C-alarm to wake up in the morning
T-I want to learn about this
F-curious
A-be kind, exam, look without judgment, sometimes get up early and identify what I’m feeling in my body and where it is coming from (thought), sometimes stay in bed longer and identify what I’m feeling in my body and where it is coming from (thought)
R-I learn more about why this is happening

I am labeling this a bridge model because of the bridge thought in it. In the past I have put where I want to be…but it lead to jumping ahead before understanding what was going on (pushing down the beach ball, trying to hold it down with an intentional thought)

I would love some feedback on this. Every month has been my favorite work…and then the next month comes and it gets even better!
