How to Wake Up Early and Consistently

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. ~Monica Baldwin

If only had this conviction at 5:00 a.m. every morning, right?

Luckily, you can and waking up every morning doesn't have to be totally dreary.

There are definite steps that you can take to get you up and out of bed.

I won't lie that say that it's easy.

But with the right reasons, some conviction, and some good self pep talks, it's possible to get on a waking up early schedule.

Here are just some reasons to wake up early:

1) You get a couple more hours in your day. More time = less stress.

2) The time is yours since hardly anyone else is awake. That means that you can finally get some time to do that thing you've always wanted but never had the time (see reason 1!)

3) A feeling of productiveness early in the day can put a positive spin on the rest of it. That positive attitude will get you over the unexpected bumps in the road.

4) Getting up early has helped me fall asleep easier since I stay up with no naps during the day and work hard. Going to sleep then is just a matter of laying down!

You'll discover more reasons in the lens.

You'll also discover more reasons for yourself once you start getting into a habit of waking up early and consistently.

Keep at it and good luck!

How to Wake Up Early and Consistently: The Basics

1) Tell yourself that you're going to get up. Be firm and don't make excuses.

2) Turn on the lights, get some music going, throw off that comforter.

3) Have a schedule when you wake up. It doesn't matter if it's showering, making coffee, or taking your dogs for a walk. Find something you like and stick with it.

4) Have a plan for what you're going to tackle that morning. If you know exactly what you're plan of action is, you'll be less likely to waste time.

"Lose an hour in the morning, and you will be all day hunting for it. ~Richard Whately"
