      No thanks, I already know how to get up early every day, set your alarm clock every night, when the alarm clock goes off in the morning put two feet out of bed on the floor and stand, that should do it.

    Here is how I started waking up early everyday:
    1. Removed my phone from my bedroom: I found my phone distracting before going to bed and after I woke up. I would spend 45 minutes needlessly scrolling.
    2. Placed an alarm outside my bedroom: This forces me to physically get up to go turn it off. By the time I do that I'm already awake and it's hard to go back to sleep.
    3. Immediately Start Purposeful Work: Within 30 minutes of getting up I start working on a purposeful project. I enjoy the work I do so it makes it super easy to get started.

      I have been waking up at 5 since the start of the year and what helped me was alarmy(you can set challenges in it), I wake up -> it asks me to type 2 sentences and I gain some consciousness and then it asks me to do 10 squats and after doing them I have the energy to go to the bathroom, wash my face and go on with my day. Best for someone like me who used to struggle with waking up early.

      @fliegendetomate4368 3 місяці тому +1

      I think what you could do what really helps me getting up is instantly going to the bathroom letting the shower get cold and taking a cold shower. But for building willpower its very important to instantly go into the cold water and not waiting in front of the shower and preparing yourself mentally. Also other benefits are that you will feel way happier in the morning after the shower because cold exposure especially in water (ice baths are better than cold showers) lets the dopamine rise up by 2.5 or 250% (that's as high as you can get with cocaine) and it drops down to normal very slow

    I developed a method for getting up early and its served me very well. I started by setting myself a soft goal, like just get up before 7:30am. I did this and then when I did was I recorded this time in a file on my phone, then the next day I set a goal that was just to beat this time, it could be even 7:29am. When I did that I kept going until I got to 5:30am. I rarely want to be up before 5:30 so I'll get up between 5:30am and 6:30am. I started this over a year ago and by now its ingrained in me. What kept me going at the start was that I made a game out of it, i was always trying to beat my previous time and when its like this it becomes fun.

      That's great I just don't find it necessary. If someone gets up at 05:30am, 07:00am, 08:00am, or even 09:00am that's up to their individual biology. Every person is different. Some people are better at getting up at 4:00am and others it wrecks them. There is no One Size Fits All standard on physical and mental health. Someone else's challenge might be to sleep an hour later than the normal time they get up, for example, and they feel better when finally accomplishing that. What drives me nuts about these motivational vids on UA-cam is they keep pushing for a singular answer. There is no singular answer. Each person and their circumstance may be different.

But if you are not genetically built for that 4 hours can hurt you. Has nothing to do with willpower it's all about understanding your individual biology and accommodating to it. Same goes with diet.

    im with him , i live alone so theres nobody around to motivate me or keep me in check . after a while you realize it really is all on you to better yourself and there is no shortcut to greatness of any kind , but you can achieve it no matter who you are or what your situation , just get after it , do what you can , and then do more , strangely enough things will begin to fall into place and the more they do the easier it will get for you to achieve more if you continue to improve yourself because you will be getting stronger and smarter which leads to more progress . its a viscious cycle . im up to 5 miles a day now plus other exercises aside from my daily tasks , job , school etc. and its all leading to more because im able to handle more . im not special by any means i just made a decision one day to start and not stop . if your reading this you can achieve greatness , just go for it and dont let anybody stop you or tell you you cant , especially yourself . excuses are easy , life is hard , so stay hard 💪

I use food because I’m struggling with my goals but now I’m facing it. I write everyday, I gym everyday , I’m literally being the person I want to be even though it’s hard and I don’t want to and I want to sleep and eat mostly.
    We have to choose our hard. Do I want to be lazy and not level up and be ‘comfortable’ or do I want to maintain my beautiful body eat well write as it’s my passion….
