      Caring is not the same as worrying. Do you know why you worry? It is because you're either lacking confidence or you're loitering around to waste your free time. Make some goals, be sure about your schedule, and you'll forget you have ADHD. Oh it's real, I have it, but the kids that complain that will power isn't enough to overcome it clearly hasn't done 1000 pushups in a row. Some of the mundane things that are apparently too hard in this spoiled life will seem to lose significance afterwards.

    Seals.They’re like gasoline to each other.. the voices get deeper, they get more definitive about things; I love to see a friendship deeper than brotherhood carry into mutual success and contribution to the world. These guys are legends. And they’re making people more capable and resilient through their work

    • @SarcyseTiranin
      @SarcyseTiranin 8 років тому +27

      Because there's not many things worse than PT at 0500, anything after that is going to feel easy in comparison.

    I was not a SEAL, but I am retired from the Navy. I've been getting up at 4:30 since I started delivering newspapers at age 12. I learned at a young age that staying late at work is mostly for show. If you want to accomplish more, go to work early.
    I wake up at 4:30 and walk 3 miles with a backpack to my gym, workout from 5:30 to 6:30 then walk back every day except Sunday. I'll be 60 in a few months.

    This is 100% true. Back in high school I already worked out after school but when a friend wanted to join me we started doing it in the mornings. Which meant getting up at 5 at least to get to school on time. The difference was great, so much more energy through out the day and it's nice to look at all the tired people coming in when you're wide awake and feeling good.

      At 20:30 You would have to be (sleeping) to get 8 hours of sleep if you want to wake up at 4:30. So when u get from work or school at 17:00/18:00 Then yould have only 2,5 hours to make dinner,dishes,eat,homework and srcatch ur balls. This doesnt seem very productive for me. U wouldt have time to meet friends and hang out with them. In the morning its very good to workout cause of the testosterone levels are highest, you can also do other hobbyies but if you got no friends that wake up at that time of the day you will only have time for social live in the weekends. And it also matter if you are living in a city where all friends live in different far places near the city or in a small town where you can easely meet your friends fast because they live close to you. And even depends on where you live, i live in the netherlands and in winter its dark at 18:00 already but i also lived in spain where it started getting dark at 20:00 so.... Feel free to reply ^^

      Also the discipline part. Every time you start with something it will be hard at first to fully comit to it and have the discipline to stick to it. Thats what consumes will power, if u go trough that and dont quit at a certain point, it will become a habit and then it wont be as difficult anny more to keep doing what you want or have to do because it has become a habit/or automatism. You dont have to fight against annymore, your body and mind have adapted to it and are used to it.

    What about sleep? You need 8 hours of sleep to be healthy. Especially if you have mental health issues. Getting up at 4:30, assuming it takes you 30 minutes to go to sleep, means you need to go to sleep at 8 PM every night. Hardly what I would call enough time to do or relax much in the evening.

    Motivation to do anything is always multi-faceted and with things that are hard, it's always interesting how many of those motivations are subjective, capture your imagination in some way. It's pretty cool to get up to work out super early when you know (practically) no one else is!

  • @tacowilco7515
    @tacowilco7515 8 років тому +115

    I used to wake up 5:30 in the morning and do work out. Honestly it is not as simple as these guys state here.
    To do that you need to get proper nutrition/vitamins and of course go to bed before 10pm. If you don't have proper nutrition or go to bed late, after a while you will start catching cold more often and feel exhausted.
    For me it didn't always work very well. Sometimes I had to work late or overnight. Sometimes I didn't manage to eat right. But I still woke up at 5:30 and worked out. I had cold sores one after another. As well I could not focus at work and overall felt like crap. I was fine only after I decided to take a break.
    So my advice to regular folks. Be reasonable. If you feel like you don't manage this right, just don't do it. It is going to be harmfull. Unless you're navy seal/robocop/terminator/or another internet hero.

    • @raptornomad1221

      Well said. Moderation and personal tailored regimen are keys to having a great day infused with working out. I allocate 1 hour of shower and work out time in a day, and I still get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. That means, however, I need to be on point on all my other obligations if I want to have a little of me time. It gets worse when you have a high workload job, and it really takes a person's entire self discipline to keep at it.

    It's easy to get up early. The key is to have a cold glass and ice water to drink when you get up. Have something to eat like a granola bar and then cook or go eat breakfast.

      same dude. If I even get 6 hours, I feel weak. 5 hours, and I get a lingering headache the rest of the day. 4 hours and my heart burns the whole day

    I imagine if anyone spent the time and energy (and had it spent on them) to become an elite special forces operator, that person would have a very hard time "retiring" from said obsessive pursuit; especially within themselves.

    I watched this video or a video like this around 3-4ish years back when I started highschool
    Sure despite putting it into practice, I did dip in my motivation over highschool but I ultimately pushed myself harder every passing day be it working out harder, waking up earlier or studying more intently and despite my setbacks I don't regret doing it and getting inspired by that video
