Once you understand that, you can eradicate it from your life. The snooze button is a healthy sleep routine’s biggest enemies. It’s like saying, “I hate getting up in the morning so I do it over and over and over again.” Hitting the snooze button in the morning doesn’t even make sense. I believe that I create my experience of reality, and I choose to create waking up tomorrow feeling energized and excited to take on my day, and I’m grateful for that. My body is capable of miraculous things, the least of which is generating an abundance of energy from five restful hours of sleep. Thank you for giving me these five hours of sleep tonight.įive hours is exactly what I need to feel rested and energized in the morning. You can “trick” your mind into thinking you will have enough sleep simply by saying something like this: In his book The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod talks about the importance of affirmations before going to sleep at night. 12:14am I can’t believe I’m still not asleep! What the hell is wrong with me! Shut off brain.I’m only going to get 6 hours of sleep because I need to be up early to prepare for my meeting. 11:43pm I really need to fall asleep right now.11:11pm Ugh, I need to wake up early tomorrow.If you tell yourself that you are going to get enough sleep regardless of what time you are going to bed and truly believe that, you will help to program your subconscious mind to believe that.īefore we go to sleep at night, our minds can get into these vicious loops. I bet this kid has no problems waking up… Do one thing that you enjoy and that is going to start your day in the right way (stretch, read part of a good book, walk your dog, listen to music, sit in silence for a few minutes).ĭon’t overwhelm yourself. And then to have this routine become a habit that is burned into your subconscious so that it’s not a struggle.Īt the beginning, keep it simple. The goal is to get a healthy routine that puts your mind in optimal shape for the rest of the day. When I go to sleep at night, I know exactly what I am going to be doing for the first hour of every morning ( meditation, morning pages, affirmations and a gratitude list). Something that is going to make you want to get out of bed. You want to have something to look forward to in the morning. Simple things that can make a big difference. Put your alarm clock/phone across the room so you have to get out of bed to turn it off.You’re going to want to minimize this as much as possible.īy preparing the night before for the coming morning, you can dramatically increase your chances of success. Waking up early is uncomfortable at first and your mind is going to look for any excuses to make it more uncomfortable. Week 4: Wake up each morning at 5:00am (GOAL!)ĭoing it this way is manageable and you’re not dramatically altering your schedule and your building on small wins each week.So if you normally wake up each day at 7am but your goal is to start waking up at 5am each morning, then you work up to that target time with a schedule like this: The idea here is to make waking up early a part of your day that you don’t absolutely hate and that will be sustainable. But with people that I work with, I have seen a better rate of success when they have eased into it. This ultimately wound up working but it also caused me to be a zombie for a couple of weeks. I decided to jump right into the deep-end and begin waking up at 5am.

You should really be worried about that thing…īy waking up early, intentionally and immediately taking action - I was able to quiet and eventually defeat these morning demons.You are never going to get everything done that you need to.You have a big meeting today - start stressing about that!.You have so much to do today, you’re never going to get it all done.I could be on vacation and my mind would tell me I was late. But that’s how my mind wants me to think. It wouldn’t matter if I was actually late or not. The first thought that came to my mind was always “You’re late!” I used to wake up and lie in bed thinking about the day to come ahead.
