For some of us, waking up early means falling out of bed, wandering around like a zombie until that third cup of coffee, and then taking a mid-morning nap just to feel semi-okay. Not anymore! To effectively wake up early, you’ll have to reset your sleep schedule, develop effective waking-up-early habits, and become more of a morning person than you currently are.
Remember the buzz word is “Get Up And Work”. You won’t get things done or achieve anything if you are feeling exhausted and not motivated. Now I have a few things to help you get started and boost your mornings.
Here are some things you need to keep in mind to be motivated to get, get going and work:
Pick your goal wake-up time. If you’d like to get good at being ready and raring to go by 6 AM, great! There’s your goal. This will be the goal you’re working toward every day of the week. You’re going to do it gradually, though, as to avoid shocking your system. That’s right, every day of the week, including weekends. Until you’re completely reprogrammed, there won’t be any sleeping in whatsoever. But once you get it down, you won’t need to!
Set your alarm clock 30 minutes earlier than normal. If you’re normally sleeping till 7am, try aiming for 6:30am instead.
Give yourself enough time for a good night’s rest. Sleep for 8 hours, to get enough rest.
Get excited about life when you wake up in the mornings. In order to hop out of bed in the morning, you may need something to hop out of bed for (your goals/dreams). So find something to get excited about! If nothing comes to mind, use this experiment as something to do full-force. After all, the path to new, more productive habits is certainly something to be proud of. What do you have going on in the next day that you can’t wait to get up for? Its size does not indicate its efficiency — small things work just as well.
I’m sure this will help you get going and be excited about life in general. Be excited about your dreams, goals and look forward to something new.
The Bible has a great deal to say about laziness. Proverbs is especially filled with wisdom concerning laziness and warnings to the lazy person. Proverbs also tells us the end in store for the lazy: A lazy person becomes a servant (or debtor): “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labour” (12:24); his future is bleak: “A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing” (20:4); he may come to poverty: “The soul of the lazy man desires and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich” (13:4 KJV).
There is no room for laziness in the life of a Christian. A new believer is truthfully taught that “…it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast”.
