Night Owl to Early bird – 3 tips to make this lifestyle shift easier!
Do it in increments or do what I do:
Change your alarm 15 minutes early each morning until you reach your goal but remember to also go to bed early so your body can gradually shift to this new routine. But if you are like me, an all-or-nothing kind of person, I would suggest just setting the alarm for your goal time starting on day 1. Wake up regardless of whether you slept enough or not. For a few days, it felt like being jet-lagged from a long trip to the other side of the globe. But eventually, it got better; I slept earlier, rested well, and started waking up fresh in the morning.
“When I’m in writing mode for a novel, I get up at four a.m. and work for five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for ten kilometers or swim for fifteen hundred meters (or do both), then I read a bit and listen to some music. I go to bed at nine p.m. I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
Waking up early has changed my life. Waking up early for a few days I realized that if I can do something so hard what else am I putting off thinking it is impossible? I have made many changes in other areas of my life and business since adopting this new habit. So I hope the same happens to you and you can make good use of this early morning productive time.
