Are you a morning person?

Morning people tend to be “get up and go” types who feel proactive in the morning, wide awake at an early hour, and prefer to be productive before lunchtime. If this doesn't describe you, but you have the desire to wake up earlier, I want you to know that I admire your commitment to personal growth.

If you want to start waking up at 5am, you need to know the benefits of doing so and associate something positive to those benefits. Secondly, you need to know why you want to wake up at 5am. Your “why” is what is going to discipline you to get through the uncomfortable period of developing this new habit. Write down what those reasons are. They will motivate you to follow through.

I know that by waking up at 5am, I am building discipline, willpower, and setting up my day for success. Psychologically, this gives me a huge advantage.  Don't get me wrong… waking up early didn't always come naturally for me. I had to work at it. However, because I made it a core part of my morning ritual, over time it became easier. Today, I look forward to starting my day at 5am.

Half of the battle of waking up at 5am is knowing what time you have to fall asleep.

If you want to have a productive day, you must be getting a sufficient amount of sleep, at least 7 hours worth. I like to plan and schedule my bedtime. I do this by setting an alarm on my phone one hour before I intend to fall asleep.

If you tend to be a nighthawk, I recommend taking Melatonin which is a natural supplement that helps make you drowsy. Similarly, if you are someone who tends to use your computer or phone before bed, I encourage you to invest in blue-blocking glasses. They will help make sure that your body continues to release melatonin. 

To ensure that you wake up at 5am, put your alarm clock on the other side of the room, so that you are forced to get out of bed to turn off the alarm. Also, try changing your alarm clock sound to a song that gets you pumped up and excited to start the day. When I hear my alarm go off, I smile. In doing so, I condition my mind to feel good about waking up early.

If you want to take it a step further, find an early-riser friend and make a deal that you will call them at 5:10am. This is a great way to hold yourself accountable for waking up early. On that call, tell him or her 1-3 things that you will commit to accomplishing that day.

This is how to wake up at 5am. 

Anyone can become a morning person. It starts with creating an empowering morning ritual and committing to sticking with it. I promise that once you become accustomed to waking up at 5am every day, your life will change for the better.

Are you ready for the challenge? You can do it! I believe in you.
