Waking up early liberates you from a huge amount of stress. Having an extra hour in the morning before your usual routine gives space for practical or relaxing activities that you wouldn't find the time to do otherwise. Many people use their morning routine to tackle a personal project; others focus on organising and preparing for the rest of the day and others just focus on exercising, meditating or doing other type of physical activity. Whatever you do in the morning is up to you but rule number 1 is being consistent . Personally, I like to wake up at the same time every day, even during weekends. If I am extra tired on a Saturday, I give myself the pleasure of one more hour in bed, which means getting up at 7 am, max. The good thing about consistency is that it slowly builds up the habit, making your body and mind less and less prone to create resistance to your alarm clock. , Your brain forms connections based on what you do repeatedly in your life. Repeated mental states, behaviours and responses become neural traits, which eventually decreases the resistance you feel from your body and your mind when you are trying to incorporate a new habit - this is called neuroplasticity. As you strengthen your newly found habit of waking up at the same time, the behaviour will require less effort and it will be easier to do it on a regular basis.
And speaking about alarm clocks, finding the perfect sound and distance from your bed is key to waking up energised every morning. I'm really not into classic alarm sounds and rather prefer soothing music that builds up as I ignore the alarm; I put my phone out of hands reach, on top of a dresser so I have to stand to turn it off. I'm no longer feeling like going back to bed by that time.
Waking up early becomes more manageable as you enjoy your morning routine. A well-balanced and relaxed morning routine will give you enough motivation to get up in the morning; a stressing and chaotic routine will create more resistance. Creating a morning routine that is both practical, efficient as well as relaxing can have a detrimental impact in your day. My rule of thumb is to spend half the time of my morning routine in practical morning tasks like having breakfast, showering or doing my hair, twenty five percent doing household chores like cleaning the dishes, watering the plants and making the bed; and the other twenty five perfect doing something entertaining, like reading or journaling. For me, in a two hour morning routine this would look like one hour dedicated to practical morning tasks, half an hour for cleaning and organising and a second half an hour of reading or watching Netflix. But I will tell you more about my morning routine in a video going up in a couple of weeks.
Another thing that will make waking up easier because it enhances your morning routine is preparing everything the night before. Picking an outfit, preparing the cutlery and containers to pack your lunch or setting the table for breakfast are all activities that create a solid transition between your night-time routine and your routine in the following morning. The more mechanical these activities and routines are, the better; a steady workflow of minor tasks can lead up to to less resistance from your brain and strengthens your habit of waking up early.
For a special boost of motivation, you can also challenge yourself to complete a project or a deadline during your morning routine. If you ever wanted to start a blog, create a journal, knit a scarf featuring your Hogwarts' house colors or just become a runner, you can use your morning time to do it in incremental bursts of productivity that you can spread out over a longer period of time. Instead of feeling like you're waking up to go to school or go to work, you change your mindset by stating and acting upon the idea that you're now waking up to take care of your special new hobby.
