How to wake up at 5am, for the next 30 days. Day 1
How to wake up at 5am, for the next 30 days.
So after yesterdays wake up time of the unusual early time of 7am and reading and writing about getting up early benefits over the course of that day it manifested in to the goal of waking up at 5am for the next 30 days. I've been struggling to get up early for many years always thinking of ways of doing it, so instead of trying to get up an extra 20 mins early or 30 mins , lets just completely burry this old habit buy getting up at 5am , this is two and a half hours early for me. Like the cold showers im sure this is going to feel harsh for the first few weeks, but then once ive got over the initial shock they will become a new experience and insight for my character.
I nearly slipped up on the first day, I jumped out of bed at 5am, then stood and thought il just lay down for 30mins and decide what im going to do with this time. I also thought i better set my alarm for 30mins as well, mmmm sounds like someone is trying to get back to bed. So i decided to do the same thinking on the pages of this blog instead.
Waking up at 5am isn’t a new thing for me, i used to work shifts and used to get up at 4.45am , by 5am i was out of the house and on my way to work. Getting up at 4.45am and leaving at 5am perhaps i should have got up 2 and a half hours earlier in those days as well because i was always rushing during that morning routine.
What to do , now that im up. I guess i better get on with some jobs. I’m hoping that i will soon start to do an exercise routine, and also get some pictures on here and video of some 5am experiences.
How did I wake up at 5am today, well I was pretty motivated to do this as i gave it allot of thought yesterday so when the alarm went off I got up. Now the hard part is doing this again and again for another 30 days, I wonder if this will be something that I will keep doing after it's over.
Update 5.10pm. Ive been up over 12 hours now and ive just completed a full days work , i advised 58 customers today, it felt relaxed and easy almost too tired to want to cause and disputes. even angry customers i eased over with my relaxed calmness. The one person on my team who is already an early riser i spoke to today to ask some advise, they had been up since 4.45am and has spent the morning painting and gardening before work. I enjoyed the fact that ive been up all this time, it even sounded weird when people told me they got up at 7am usually this would have been earlier than me but i was thinking , wow you got up late!. So now its the afternoon do i take a nap or stay awake or fall asleep for many hours , i can't quite figure out what my body is saying to me. I feel tired but i haven't eaten yet, and i dont feel sleepy tired just a dull warmth in my body. I have had a good day so far and have had some great calls with some positive feedback, communicating almost in a detached state.
More days to follow , this may just be my own hype real test will be in several weeks time.
