Now to you maybe waking up at 4:30 am on Saturday morning is a nightmare, but to me it is heaven. It’s something I have been trying to do for over a year now, and finally today I did it.
Namely, I have been trying to wake up and get out of bed at 4:00 am daily for a year now and no matter what I have done, even with going to bed really early, I could not do it.
Why would I want to get up at 4 am? Everyone is still asleep and I can get some work done before the day officially starts, which means I have to do less work and can do more mom and housewife stuff when the world is awake, without feeling like I have to choose between being a business woman and a mom.
I think getting up at 4 am will allow me to play with my kid more without feeling guilty and maybe bake him a batch of cookies or two and be relaxed about it. So long as I don’t fall asleep on him or on the stove. Just kidding. I got 7 hours of sleep last night, so it’s not like I am sleep deprived. It’s all good.
So how did I get up at 4:30 am on Saturday morning, when I have been trying to do this for a year now and have failed? What made me finally succeed today? I read this article and practiced, according to the instructions given, getting up when the alarm goes off just two times last night. Then I went to bed. When the alarm rang this morning, I was able to get up, get out of bed and execute exactly what I practiced last night. Who new it would be so easy!!!!
Here is to many more early mornings!
Update: apparently Steve Pavlina is right in that the key to waking up early is getting into the habit of it. A few times I let the alarm ring, turned it off and went back to sleep and now I am back to waking up later than I want, darn it.
