I believe that everyone wanna be successful as Jack Ma, Bil Gates, Warren Buffet , wanna use all the potential we have to be a better person. But except the busy of working life, we may have to social interact with our colleague and clients in dinner and even have to take care of our family. In our life, there are always some obstacles that could resist us to change ourselves and you even can't spare out some time for learning and exercising. If you also think that you don't have any time for learning and exercising, why not you try to wake up 1-2 hours earlier than before? If you try to wake up 1-2 hours earlier everyday then you will realize that you will have extra time. Don't underestimate extra time of 1 hours because you will have extra 7 hours weekly, 28 hours monthly and even extra 365 hours yearly. Today I wanna share a book with you guys that is (The Miracle Morning). The author of this book is Hal Elrod. In this book, he use himself as a example to promote the habit of waking up early and combine his SAVERS plan to help others to adopt the habit of waking up early and this habit enable others to earn more money, get fitter, gain better networking and so on. By the way, SAVERS plan means Silence, Affirmation, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading and Scribing.
I believe that most of us will think wake up early is not that easy especially for those who sleep at 11-12 o'clock. They will think like they can't perform well in their job due to the lack of sleep. Exactly, you are not alone because not everyone can wake up early as others. Before I read this book, I am also a person who tend to sleep until 11-12pm. After that, I feel like this is a waste of time and time is really precious. Once you waste it, you can't get it back. So, here are the 5 steps that can help you to adopt the habit of waking up early. The first step is give a hint to yourself before you sleep. If I ask you usually how many hours should a person sleep? Undoubtedly, you guys will says 7-8 hours right? But the scientist state that how many hours should a person sleep is depend on themselves, it could be 5 hours, it could be 6 hours. For example the difference of gender, age and health condition will prompt the difference of time needed. Generally speaking, there is no a standard way to determine how many hours should a person sleep. This is the reason why others can perform well in their job just by sleeping 5 hours whereas others need to sleep 8 hours. The author said that the effect of the sleep to our body is depend on we believe how many hours should we sleep. In other word, if you think that a person should sleep as least 8 hours in order to have enough stamina but you only have left 6 hours to sleep. For sure you will think that you will feel very tired when you wake up at tomorrow morning. At this moment, you have already made a hint to yourself and until tomorrow morning when the alarm ring, you will realize that you feel tired and wanna to sleep again, don't want to wake up. Consequently, you will make a conclusion that is I feel tired really because the lack of sleep. So, the author advise us to make a hint to ourselves said that even we only have 6 hours to sleep but I believe this 6 hours is enough. The second step is put the alarm far from your bed. If we put alarm beside our bed then we can switch it off easily and continue to sleep. This is the reason why author advise us to put the alarm far from our bed because this will compel us to leave the bed and once you move your body, you will become more awake. The third step is brush you teeth and wash your face. Even we have waked up from our bed but we may feel tired as well. So the third step is to help removing the feeling of tired. Fourth step is drink a cup of water to refresh our mind. After several hours of sleeping, our body will in the state of dehydration so after we brushed our teeth and washed our face we are encourage to drink a cup of water to start our engine inside our body. The last step is morning exercise. Morning exercise can maximize our spirit and stamina to energize our body. After morning exercise, we can have a bath. For sure, your brain will have already prepared to start working.
Okay, this are the five step that can help you adopt the habit of wake up early. So after wake up in the morning, what can we do? And I think this is really depend on yourself but the author advise that the first thing we can do is meditation. After finish shower, we can choose a silent place to meditate. For example you can choose to meditate in study room. Daily 10 minutes of meditation will give us lot of positive change. Furthermore, you can choose to eat breakfast. Compare to before you have to finish your breakfast quickly then go to work but now you don't have to rush and just relax. Apart form that, there are many things you can do just depend on yourself. Lastly, I wanna remind you that the five steps that could help you adopt the habit of waking up early. First step is give yourself a hint before you sleep, second is put alarm far from your bed, third is brush your teeth and wash your face, fourth is drink a cup of water and last is morning exercise.
