For the typical “night owl,” becoming an “early bird” is no easy matter. But that’s not to say it’s impossible. I know because I used to hate getting up in the mornings. Now, with enough rest, I can spring right out of bed feeling refreshed! With a little willpower, a whole lot of determination and these tips, you can, too.
1. Say “I’m a morning person.” Our thoughts are powerful and control our actions. Change your thoughts, and your actions will soon follow.
2. Let the sun wake you up. Your body’s internal clock is regulated by natural sunlight. So forget the window shades, and allow the morning sunshine to wake you out of your slumber.
3. Go to bed earlier, but take it a little at a time. At first, you’ll have a hard time falling asleep earlier than you’re used to, so don’t try making this leap all at once. Start by changing your bedtime by just 15 minutes. Once you’re used to that, add another 15, and then another 15, until you’re going to bed at your desired time.
Just remember: Whether you’re a morning or evening person isn’t so much a matter of genetics as it is a matter of your mindset and lifestyle.
Your coach,
Jorge Cruise
