How to Become an Early Riser and Energetic Person
What do the most successful people have in common? They all
get up very early and make the most of the morning. Say why:
Getting up early before the start of a busy day gives you
plenty of time to think. Simply put, the morning time belongs to you. Before
others take up your time and attention, prioritize and make progress on what
you need to do that day. This will give you unprecedented control over every
day.
Of course, it's extremely difficult to get up early, which is
exactly why early birds have a competitive advantage over others. When people
push the snooze button, they're ready for a new day.
People who wake up early
Just a few examples of super successful early risers.
Virgin's founder, Richard Branson, woke up at 5:45 a.m., even
on his own private island. Before starting the day's work, he made full use of
his morning time to exercise and eat breakfast.
Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States, gets up
at 4:30 a.m. every day to start exercising, while her children are still
sleeping.
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, gets up at 3:45 a.m. every day,
processes emails go to the gym and trot to Starbucks before going to the
office.
Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, gets up at 4:30 to
exercise, usually riding with his wife. Of course, in order to face the new
day, coffee is indispensable.
Bob Igor, Disney's CEO, got up at 4:30 a.m. to read
newspapers, do sports, listen to music, reply to emails, and even watch TV.
Anna Wintour, Vogue's editor-in-chief, will get up at 5:45
a.m. to play tennis for an hour and start the day.
Jeff Immelt, CEO of Gee, gets up at 5:30 and reads newspapers
while doing heart exercises.
Can you find commonalities in these super-successful people?
Everyone's morning exercise contains a very important element.
In addition to helping overall health and shaping, studies
have shown that 20 minutes of moderate exercise can produce psychological and
emotional positive factors, and can last for 12 hours!
This means that these business leaders will be more
clear-minded and efficient, and these are the direct benefits of morning
exercise. Exercise time also allows them to focus on thinking about problems
and thinking about solutions without being disturbed.
So, as soon as they enter the office, they can enter the
state quickly. Morning exercise is conducive to the efficient use of time.
How to be an early riser?
Getting up early is not a burden, but a bonus of life. Is it
difficult to be an early riser? Not difficult. And it's not easy.
Why should I wake up early?
It's because I began to realize that the best time to learn
is ten years ago and today. Seeing that many people in the world who have
everything we seem to envy are still working hard, I would ask myself,
"Why don't you work hard, but you want everything?"
I was surprised that the original rich in this world can get
up so early! The gap is not just the ticket! So getting up early is not a
burden, but a bonus of life.
Before reading the text, let me have a look at how people
usually, make decisions?
As can be seen from the above figure, there are many factors
that affect our decision-making. According to the theme of this article, let me
talk about how I made my early decision!
Before college, my pressure to get up early came from my
parents and school, so when I went to college, I really wanted to sleep in the
morning without classes! Yes, I turn "think" into reality. Sometimes
I just get up at 11 or 12 o'clock;
The first "early rise decision":
Their early rise attracted me as a lazy person. I wanted to
wake up early with them "on impulse". But soon, the decision failed
because of "escape psychology". Every time when the alarm rang, I
thought of sleeping for "five minutes", the result was countless five
minutes passed;
The second "early rising decision":
Getting up at five o'clock to run with our roommates, we ran
for about a month; so I think this habit should be "catering to
roommates" (catering here is commendable), but certainly not the
"self-cultivation" habit;
The third "early decision" is a habit of "self-cultivation"!
Moreover, it was formed in the process of exploration and
analysis. Subjectively, I no longer tangled with the decision of "should I
get up early", but I firmly determined the decision of getting up early
from my heart. Objectively, I made a clear plan of getting up early, so this
habit was formed in this process.
That's how my early decision came
And what about you?
Are you ready for the decision to get up early?
Let's see how I became an early riser!
The figure below is a summary of "early rising
experience" through my early raising this year and a half.
Next,
I will share these 9 steps to how to become an early riser.
1. Step-by-step rhythm
According to my usual early rising experience, early rising
must be a "process type progress". Everything is regular. It's the
same with early rising. You can't set the time of early rising very early at
the beginning, but you need to slowly move the time forward (even ten minutes
in advance every day). When you feel the happiness brought by early rising,
Congratulations, early rising has been successful Half!
2. Training your own biological clock
First of all, we must do self-awareness, find our own
biological clock, then establish our own ideal early rising time, and then
slowly train to the ideal biological clock. Don't be greedy at the beginning.
Set the early rising time to be very early. It is possible that you usually get
up at seven or eight o'clock, but now you suddenly set the early rising time to
five o'clock. Such a sudden change may make you’re biological clock destroyed, even if you get up early at five, you will feel very tired! This is
the desired speed that is not reached, so, must first find out your own biological
clock, and then on this basis for training!
3. Find the right partner
A good start needs company (thanks to my roommate here)
I believe that most people will feel that they have just
"got out of the sea of bitterness" when they are in their freshmen
year. How can we do it first! Yes, I am the one who has this idea, but soon I
find that I have no goal in life. Every day, except for normal classes,
meetings, and duty, I have almost no time of my own. I am very busy and
confused, and I have no idea what I am doing! Even breakfast in the morning is
on the way…..
So I want to adjust myself to the goal of "getting up
early". At that time, we also had morning exercises. We usually get up at
about 6:30. So it was not difficult for my roommate and me to get up at 5:00
after training. Especially, we can "sit" in the canteen to have
breakfast after each run. It's really a blessing! Running early and late for
about a month, the most obvious change is that the whole person's condition and
skin are getting better.
This morning running with my roommate is part of the preparation
for me to get up early alone! Because in the early days, if I don't have such a
partner to accompany you to feel the pleasure of getting up early, I don't
think I have the courage to get up alone.
One has to learn to grow!
In fact, everything needs "practice to produce real
knowledge". The "real knowledge" here may be the process of
finding the best state for me. For someone who can't persist in doing something
at the beginning, it's probably best to find a "partner" to experience,
and it's also the best to find a friend who is in the same school but has
different dormitories;
Why not continue with your roommate? It's necessary to
explain the real situation of "two people with weak willpower" in
running
For example, when the great-aunt comes, she will stop for a
few days. (In fact, they find a good reason for each other to "be
lazy". If you can't run, you can get up in the morning and take a walk.
It's very easy to be lazy for a while, but it's not easy for you to form a
habit.)
In fact, both of us are helpless. When we get up at five
o'clock at the same time, we will quarrel with the roommates who sleep
shallowly in the dormitory. In fact, not only do we make the roommates unhappy,
but we are not in such a good mood to run (of course, we have to blame
ourselves for the fact that we just started running in the morning. So we are
groping about the movement of running in the morning Progress (thanks to the
running combination of the two people, we can do our best not to disturb the roommate's
"foreshadowing" when I wake up in the morning). Ha-ha-ha….
Let me draw a conclusion from this experience:
It's better not to find a roommate as a partner (unless you
have a strong determination to get up early) because a roommate is the closest
person you are to at school. In the same dormitory, sometimes one of you
doesn't want to get up early, and the other will be greatly affected! But if
you are not a roommate, you will think that if you don't get up early, it's not
good to pigeon others, so your probability of getting up at this time is
relatively large! (My roommate don’t hit me when he sees this.)
4. Internal motivation
Now I want to be able to get up early without my roommate.
It's probably related to the books I read during that time! Although I have
read many books about getting up early, the content of the book that really
urges me to get up early has nothing to do with getting up early. The point is
that a person can overcome loneliness. Because I study in other provinces, I
can say that there are no relatives in this place except those who come to
school, so I want to be with others every time I do something, and I am afraid
to be with others. This unfamiliar place of life is "one person".
So I think reading has brought me a lot of influence. I want
to challenge my "inner loneliness". I want to turn this loneliness
into a kind of power. After all, a person's growth needs to be faced by him. So
at that time, I filled my daily life with plans. This kind of life with a sense
of planning helped me get rid of the inner anxiety that I had in my freshman year
and didn't know what to do. The result is that I have a super happy day, and I
feel very full!
Remember! We must cultivate our own reading habits. With the
increase in reading, many lazy ideas will be changed. Internal motivation
is formed slowly many times.
5. External pressure
The reason why many people can't get up early is that they
don't have external pressure to urge themselves. Indeed, many people who go to
university don't say pressure; even the feeling of tension may not have been experienced for a long time! Let's share a way that I have personally
experienced to bring pressure from the outside world: join the relevant punch
community! (The number of people is better controlled within 10)
I have organized and participated in other organizations
before! My feeling is "it's a happy thing to punch in with a group of
positive partners every day. When you don't think of it in the morning, you
will think of 10 people in the group. If you don't punch in, it will be
obvious!"! Then the pressure to get up early comes!
Tips to share with you as a group:
Many people have joined various punch groups now. If you
can't find a partner to get up early to punch, you can build a small punch
group by calling on other people who want to get up early or exercise in the
punching group. Don't be afraid to punch strangers. You may also have the
chance to know many positive energy people. It's also a good channel to expand
the social scope Way!
6. Self-suggestion
I wrote a microblog before, saying that I can wake up at
about five every morning without an alarm clock! This is the role of "self-suggestion" at that time! Ha-ha…..
You must think it sounds very suspenseful, but of course,
there is a premise. The premise is that I've been up early for a while. Is that
training my own "biological clock"? (People who are inconvenient to
use their cell phone alarm in the dormitory can consider buying a millet
bracelet, which will vibrate on its own and won't disturb the roommate at all.)
Before going to bed and in the morning when you wake up to
self-suggestion! But some people may wonder: don't you wake up in the morning,
and do you want to hint yourself? It's because people are always inert and
awake, but their brain is not fully awake. The power of the subconscious is
greater than that of the conscious. When the alarm clock rings, the
subconscious always turns off the alarm clock and continues to sleep, so the
strength of "self-suggestion" is reflected here. For example, I will
say to myself: if I don't get up today, I will be single for one year/ If I
can't get up today, I'll give 100 to someone! Anyway, it's to make "self-suggestion" work! Anyway, you get up early; these words are useless to
you! It's OK to take a poison oath. Ha-ha-ha-ha.
7. Make an early-rise plan
Be sure to have a clear plan for getting up early, such as
examinations, reading, and English... Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense for
you to get up early if you don't have anything to do in the morning! Therefore,
we must make a plan for the next day in advance, with which we can get up
early;
Tell me what I did at the beginning! I ran to the bathroom in
our bedroom to watch YouTube. Why did I run to the bathroom? It's because I
might watch sleeping in bed, but when I turn on the light in my bedroom, I'm
afraid that the light will affect my roommate. Why watch YouTube? It's because
many people in it are just gods! Just watching their videos makes me feel
yearning! Worship, so it's really helpful to find my favorite spot to get up
early. And I go to the gym regularly now, so I don't run in the morning. After
all, it's hard to take a bath in the dormitory, so the gym is more convenient.
Now I've basically made sure of my plan of getting up early
in the morning. I still watch YouTube in the morning, but I don't need to go to
the toilet to watch it. I can't fall asleep in bed, listening to the
radio, writing, and so on. Ha-ha-ha! But my roommate probably thought I didn't
get up early! But when it's getting early, I'll get up and make my own plan!
8. Get up early and go to bed early
Before writing this article, I knew that "staying up
late hurts the body", but only stay in my mind! When I did some work, I
found that the effect of staying up late is no regret medicine, so I dare not
stay up late!
The influence of staying up late for a while
Black eye ring:
It is due to staying up late, big mood fluctuation, eye
fatigue, and aging, which leads to slow blood flow of eye skin and blood
vessels, forming stagnant flow; insufficient tissue oxygen supply, and excessive
accumulation of metabolic waste in blood vessels, resulting in eye
pigmentation.
My black eye circled just because I stayed up all night, and
now there are some small fine lines, terrible!! No amount of expensive skincare products can be saved.
Easy myopia:
Because staying up late at night is often a dark area around
you. Only the light of the mobile phone screen is facing your eyes. In the long
run, your eyesight is easy to decline. Although I am not myopic, this area
should be paid attention to!
Headache:
After staying up late, because of lack of sleep, brain cells cannot
get enough rest; it may lead to dizziness and even the risk of cancer! And
it's not just cancer.
Causes of sub-health symptoms:
Insomnia, irritability, forgetfulness, anxiety, immunity
decline, cold, and other sub-health symptoms may appear after staying up late
for a long time
Poor skin condition:
When it comes to beauty sleep, from 11:00 to 3:00 in the
morning is the best time for beauty sleep, as well as the time for the liver and the gall to fully rest. Often staying up late, the skin may become rough, prone to
acne, long spots, oil, and a series of skin problems.
Can't get up in the morning:
Staying up late is the most important reason I think I can't
get up in the morning. Even if you barely get up, the whole state is not
conducive to you doing other things!
The above list of the effects of staying up late is not
complete in fact. I asked myself, what did you do? I can't say, and getting up
early shouldn't deprive you of sleep time, so you have to go to bed early!
So how do go to bed early in the bedroom I think it is also a lot of people's problem, I found a way to share it with you!
First: put your mobile phone on the desk and turn off the
Internet, because if you open the Internet, you may hear the messenger or microblog messages and you will be able to help yourself to read them. Believe me;
the person who is looking for you in an emergency will know how to contact you
by phone;
Second: after the problem of the mobile phone is solved, it is
the light or sound in the dormitory. You can buy earplugs and earmuffs!
What if you still say that you are used to going to bed late
and suddenly you can't go to bed early? Before going to bed, soak your feet and
sit up to make your whole body tired. You can fall asleep soon! (Disable phone)
9. Make a punch record
Getting up early is not a habit that can be formed in two days
a day, so you should give yourself some rewards or punishments at the right
time. It's better to punch in and record every day.
Simple and clear:
You don't need to spend a lot of time on the clock in the record.
If you like to make a hand account, you can add the time when you get up early
every day. If you like to use your mobile phone to record, you can also use the
memo to record the time when you get up early. Such a record can't even take a
minute, isn't it simple enough?
Intuitive and clear:
When you look back, there are words to depend on. You will
really find that "I can also get up early, which is not difficult or
simple." the record itself is to let you see your achievements
intuitively;
Conclusion on how to become an early riser & bonus mechanism
Make a wish list of what you want to do and what you want to
do in the near future when you punch in the card, clearly stipulate what reward
you will give you as long as you get up early, and look at your wish list every time you want to be lazy, which will give you more motivation;
It seems to be the same thing to insist on getting up early
and form the habit of getting up early, but in essence, there are still big
differences. Because persistence itself is often accompanied by pain. If you
like to do something, you will certainly do it. You rarely hear that it is necessary
to "persist" in doing something you like. It is very unlikely that
something you feel in pain will continue to do it. Only when you regard getting
up early as a habit can you enjoy yourself!
These suggestions and success stories help
motivate me to get up early, especially when I want to "sleep a little
longer"; I hope they can also inspire you to make an efficient morning a
mysterious weapon of my own!
