Reasons and Health Benefits for getting up early in the morning

So my next big challenge in life is to overcome my need to spend all day asleepand day dreaming, as much as i love a good snooze its almost a guilty pleasure that i love and hate at the same time, true its very comfortable laying arround for 2 or 3 hours snoozing and daydreaming, but at the same time i also miss out on those 2 or 3 hours a day activly working on my life. If i just had more time in the week then i would be able to do more with myself, the main part of my snooze thoughts is thinking and brainstorming ideas, but as im half asleep these strokes of insight and genius are soon forgotten, it would be better to just get up and write these ideas on some paper, and do a quick 20 minute’s of brainstorming and mind-mapping.

Ive got lots i want to do and im sleeping through my life, missing the point and the action by laying in the dreams and thoughts of my own mind.

Motivation to get up early, so I’ve made this list of reference of insights and ideas to get up early and some of the positive reasons and health benefits for getting out of bed and being awake in the morning.

Make it in to daily routine, at the start of learning the new routine of getting out of bed like anything this will seem like hard work, but usally after only a few weeks it becomes a talent that can be masterd, think of the edge you will have over most people if you can get up and start your day before, most people have even pressed the snooze button a few times. Being prepared for the day and having time to get ready for the days events. So life would be easier having already make your plans for what is about to happen over the next 12 hours. Making it a routine makes it harder to break , just as its a routine that is used to sleep in and the results that come from that routine are in place, so is getting up early a rotine and that also comes togther with its own set of outcomes.

Hitting the snooze button, i hate my alarm and i also hate the sound of the snooze, its an annoying ringing sound that makes me clench too the depths of my soul, the sound sickens me to the stomach, my mind hates this snooze button and yet i press it over and over. I hate the snooze and alarm. But i press it again and again, i would like to not use this alarm any more and just get up with out having to listen to this annoying beeping. By snoozing your training yourself to become sleepy fast, you wake up press the snooze fall asleep, wake up press snooze fall asleep , over and over, up down up down. When do you really wake up perhaps doing this is not healthy. There is no clear cut line between sleeping and being awake, no wonder i often feel like im walking around in a daydream state.

Pondering, this is the number 1 activity while i snooze and lay in bed , i ponder think plan self talk and daydream, often thinking in circles round and round, until i slip in to another snooze, its a very comforting mindframe, i kind of lull myself to sleep in this rhymical thinking, ponerding and thinking ahh snoozing , and then beep beep the alarm goes of again for the 4th time, then i repeat, should i get up , but ive so much to ponder, blah blah unitl beep beep that bloody snooze button again.  Should just get up pull out my to do list or open up my blog and write down some ideas instead. Get those thoughts out of my head, if there so useful then i should put them to work straight away.

Eat like a king, breakfast sleeping too much reduces the time in the morning before i have to leave the house, i get up and go and daily i miss out on some food or fruit in the morning, i start my day with no time to fuel up. By getting up early one of the activity’s in that new space of time will be eating some food.

When im snoozing i think there is no reason to get up, even when ive achieved all the goals i want , i could always pull out a to do list and fill it with another 50 things i want to do with my life. In this world there is always some thing to do, even if it just means walking to the local store and buying a paper, there is new news to read. Finding a book there is new ideas to consume, exersise there is a few extra reps that can be added. There is lots to do, there is never nothing to do, even if you dont need to work for another 3 hours then just spend some time, working anyways get it out the way, getting up early would give me enough time to watch a whole movie or listen to 2 hours of music.  Spend 2 hours painting or drawing or writing a book, 2 extra hours to walk around and jog and climb practice parkour.

Stretch and breath, and drink and eat , have a cold shower and put on your clothes. Don’t spend time sleeping and snoozing spend time getting fully energised and awake. Loosen up and grab hold of life before anyone else has a chance to. Get the bed made the night time clothing put away and get dressed and ready, iron the clothing . Do chores and washing, electricity is cheaper before 7am in the uk so do the laundry in this time. Get this skill down to an auto pilot response,

Exercise i think it would be awesome to hit the park at 6am or 7am , spend that hour climbing the frame and running and stretching, there would be no one around , i could even spend the hour kicking a  football or shooting baskets at the net, spend 45mins a morning training parkour/ free running. stretching and deep and powerful breathing.  my exercise routine is about functionality, i want to be able to run climb balance , have endurance and speed/power. At the moment after a days work i have no energy or motivation to work on this and my current job role is mainly sitting in an office, so then if i spend the morning doing a walk riding my bike or even powering through some parkour training at the park, then il be able to kick ass in my day time, and may even had a little energy left over at the end of the day.

People my freinds in china are only on the net during the periods when im usually asleep , if i just got up earlier it would give me more time to socialise on my global network, i could spend some time reading facebook or looking through youtube at some new people and ideas.

Just as i wrote that last sentence an prime example happened , its now 10.38 am ive been up since 7am my house-mate has just got up and is just waking up and making some breakfast. What an example ive already had almost 4 hours head-start on this guy. I must gain this skill to wake up earlier.

When i do wake up and get sorted earlier i seem to have more productivity as well, ive found the days when i start early i usally get a blog done or a video on my youtube channel , or even drop a few messages on facebook, my house also gets cleaned quicker and my  day seems more prepared and organised. Ive had some time to warm up my voice for my job on the phone as a consultant., and prepare my mind for some of the questions i am going to face from my customers. I have already gone through 20 – 30 calls in my mind of some of the situations that i will be faced with and the responses im going to be giving to these people, just like a sales man should understand the questions and rejections they are likely to face. Ive had time to prepare and then when these people come up with there questions ive already been awake 4 hours and im more than ready to advise them.

Just want to do more with my time, getting up will give me that time. The extra hours i could do so much more with than pondering, ive spent allot of time working on my internal relm while snoozing its time that i developed more my waking life. Perhaps i would need to do less snoozing if i had less to ponder, and the only way to do that is to work more on the things i do when im awake.

This is not the first time ive come to challenge my morning routine,  but like an old annoying habbit it is one thing that i want to destroy. Being harsh and getting up is going to give me another skill that i have at my disposal if i can stay awake and work on my life for many additional hours year, then all the goals and things i want im giving them more time and chance of being realised.

If your an early riser let me know in the comments below!

How am i going to get up earlier each day, learn to get up at 6am or earlier

Latest goal to work on is how to get up early, there will be plenty of time too sleep when im dead. The goal getting up early and sleeping less , too much time. Just like the cold showers, they will probly feel bad for the first few weeks but then once i get them in to the system , it will start to feel bad by not getting up early. The cold showers hurt at first , but now it seems that as im on a role it would be a shame to quit now.

Getting up early, how early should i get up? . The reason i stay asleep for so long is due to day dreaming, i almost find it hard to face life when im half asleep. By getting up and out , then i hope this will improve my focus. Of all the hours ive spent daydreaming and thinking in my daze, i honestly dont remeber what ive been thinking about or if that this has even been of benifit to myself.

Its going to be a struggle to get up early, perhaps just go straight for 5am so i can train my body clock to get up early if i wake naturaly around the 5am mark or even 6am this would still give me a great advantage.

Getting up earlier would give me more time to prepare myself for the days challenges, at the moment i role out of sleep get up get washed dressed and get in the car to go to work.  If i got up that hour or two earlier, i would have time to work on this site. Maybe an hour of reading an inspirational or instructional  book. Or just an hour walking through the park, which would blow the cobwebs out of my system and get some good air in to myself.

Im up now and it seems like ive got the whole day ahead, this moment in time 9am i would be rolling around sleeping and buried deep in my pillow.

Tomorrow morning im aiming for 6am, for the next 3 weeks 6am, this is going to be the learning and trail phase after that i should be on a roll like the cold showers and that would be the new easy route to take, it would be harder to stay in bed and daydream.

Although it does not worry me, its a debt that i have hanging over my head, that i wish i was clear of. University was great, i enjoyed the experience of the whole thing every year i was there i was also creating more debt.
Ive been working on trying to pay some of it back, i want to cleat this debt.
Still i am on an income that does not allow me to clear this loan, i could pay some of it off but then im also not going to be able to save for the future. So im in a situation where, this is a goal i am trying to think creatively about. The easiest way to clear this is to just get a higher paying job. Although i am happy in my current role, so i will keep working at clearing this debt.

I read that luck is improved by following this principal

Labor

Under

Correct

Knowledge

= LUCK

This means that in order to improve luck you need to increase the percentage and probability so that there is a greater chance of becoming lucky.

What is luck , think i would define luck of serendipitous events leading to an outcome that you would require.

So the labor part, doing actions that increase the chance of having the lucky outcome. If you are trying to meet a new person , you improve your luck of finding that person if you leave the house.

If you are trying to loose weight you will have more luck and chance of sucsess if you follow a healthy lifestyle.

If you want more money or a new job and career you improve your luck by study , and work and looking for the jobs and applying.

Luck is nothing more than a chance or unexpected, twist of fate that takes life in the direction of your dreams and wishes. To improve luck learn what situations you need to place your self in that will make you be that lucky winner.

When going out, do you need to drink the alcohole to be luckier, or do you need to spend lots of money, or does just simply being in the club or at the event bring you the outcome.

Without spending all the money and recovery time on alcohole and drugs, you can work towards sucsess all day and night and never need to recover. Of course sleep is needed.

Become lucky with your friends and family by always being available, and throwing out ideas and situations out there see if you get any nibbles or bites. Be suggestive, suggest courses or action and ideas that would lead to the outcome. Suggest possible actions that may manifest in to your luck improving.

Labor under correct knowlege, know who you need to see or where you need to be to get your lucky outcome, people will say wow he’s really lucky with people or so many good things just seem to happen with this person, but really you will know that this is just chance and a result of hard work and determination, on your part. Some times you just need to suggest something and other people will go to work automatically with out realizing to bring this situation to light.

Like a ripple effect, the desire that you put out in to the world will some how find its way back to you!

Learn to play the game and like in the art of war if you control the battle field and know the enemy and thy self then you will know what outcomes may happen and know what is the solution to this that will turn the situation in your favor.

By working to improve good luck , you also work to improve bad luck at the same time, so this is a situation you must also bear in mind. By attempting to increase your chance of sucsess , it means there is also more chance of failure.

You can try to become lucky with a job by searching and studying and attending interviews , which improves your chance of getting a job, but at the same time you are creating a situation which has 2 sides. So although you may improve your chance and luck by from 10% to 30% there is still the 70% chance of failure.

Luck is still the probability that some thing will happen in favor.

On the other hand look at it from an Unlucky persons point of view, this is the way you reduce bad luck, if you fail 100% of the time and always belive that you are just an unlucky person then , working on ways to reduce bad luck , you may still fail over and over but as there is a slim chance of sucsess, then its worth the endevor.

Often only a single win can be life changing, while loss after loss is nothing more than an annoyance.

If all you have is a 1% chance then is it worth failing 99 times out of 100 to get that success. Once you have had that lucky break then you may never need to try again.

Watching the monkeys are funny and show no fear in the wild, this video shows the monkey style vs. the tiger. Although the tiger is more fast and deadly on the ground the monkey has the intelligence and fluidity to be able to use his surroundings to outsmart the tiger and swing up in to the trees. The tiger is confused and doesn’t know what to do. With the flexibility and humor the monkey can even taunt the tiger and play with it. This video is really funny , tiger is trying to eat the monkey or get a bite and the monkey is having allot of fun.

As i watched YouTube today i saw a very positive video, it was a raw food video. With matt monark and steve pavlina , you can watch below its a 2 partner. But what i found today is that in order to be a success you need to surround yourself with the people that will help you be a success, get on their energy wave length. Just as my housemates don’t go out so much i have found that i don’t go out as much as i used too. Same as the people who i have in my life seem to be problematic with relationships, i have pulled people in to my life who are having problems with there relationships and i have been in sync with them myself , how can i have a positive understanding of relationships when all i keep seeing is problems and talks of negativity.  

I need to start being around the people who are going to bring me up and take me forward instead of staying in the same level of people that are just causing me to have all these difficulties.

As he said allot of the time people fail because they have the best intentions but they associate and think with people who may be negative. Being around negative people, or being around people who don’t have control , or being around people that don’t have many working relationships.  Hanging around liars and cheats and backstabbers. Why would someone feel any better being in a pack of thieves. Or poor communicators. Binge drinkers and social outcasts. Just being branded under the same banner.

There is people who think £1000000 is nothing there are people i who just waste everything they have got.

Plan of action start to work insync with people who have attributes that I would like myself. People who have made it and who are doing good. Value an opinion of someone. See what happens. Start to work with people who are seen as normal and have there own property and who are doing well and are in a stable and happy life.

Leap of Faith in to the Unkown Web

Changing Servers and domains changes everything. This leap of faith applies to the change of BeWiseMonkey.Com changing its server on the web, the site was getting good quality hits everyday , up to 1000 hits a day and has all the promise of growing to be a nice popular site, for all those people who like watching funny monkeys, checking some nice girl pictures and reading some random articles. Unfortunatly the site was on WordPress.com which has a very little tolerance for advertising.

Affiliate links and adverts are not allowed on WordPress and so i was risking the site by having it on there. Not that i could have just taken ads off the site, but i want to be able to advertise on my site and i dont want all my articles to be deleted. So the choice was to take a leap of faith and move away from WordPress.com and hoste privatly but still using WordPress.org to manage site contents. Having used the wordpress content and system i am happy with it and it provides me with the tools which suit my level of Webmaster intelligence.

Google and other services dont know the site has moved my page rankings on googles searchs still come up the same but the BeWiseMonkey.Com they link too is differnet to the current location the site is in. So back to square one, i dont know how the traffic will grow now i have no associations with the wordpress.com tagging lists as i used to get good traffic from them and im not sure if customers search terms will take a while to hit in to my site again.

Leaving WordPress.com and now out in the big open internet, maybe this happend to soon. I could have removed advertising from my blog and carried on and tryed to build the site visits to 10-20k per day then left anouncements advising people to keep the webname on favorites list and that it will be offline for a few days while it gets rebuilt on the new server. Another thing is the site has had to undergo new design modifications as the old theme didnt transfer over.

Being with WordPress you are not allowed to modify htlm code either so your pages and posts are pretty much fixed with in what the simple scripts will allow, now the site is able to have flash and other forms of Htlm i think it will be a steep learning curve and also a little bit of fun to see what else can be included to the visit. I am a complete coding beginer so its slow steps but overall time will tell whether the leap of faith was worth it.
