Get Up, Get Dressed, Get Started

If you want to have a spec­tac­u­lar day, start the momen­tum off right and get off to a fast start!  Wake up early, dress in such a way that makes you feel good.  Take a glance in the mir­ror and tell your­self how good you look as you smile.

You be the con­troller of your emo­tion for the day, don’t let any­body else set it for you.  The first 30 min­utes of your morn­ing will set the tone for the rest of your day.  Fill the first 30 min­utes with emo­tion, pas­sion and expec­ta­tion of how your day will be.  Decide at that very moment exactly how your day is going to unfold.  Don’t leave it up to chance or any­body else to decide for you.

The morn­ing is actu­ally a lit­tle late to decide how your day will be.  You should already have your entire day planned, the night before you go to sleep.  When the first sign of day appears in your mind, you should know what your first task is with­out hav­ing to check your agenda.

The clear vision of your day is what pro­vides your inter­nal clock the power to get wake up and get out of bed.  With­out know­ing exactly what you plan to do the night before, you run a high risk of your inco­her­ent mind mak­ing an irra­tional deci­sion at the first sign of wake.

Our bod­ies find it easy to pro­cras­ti­nate in the face of com­fort.  The soft pil­low, warm blan­ket shield­ing you from the frigid morn­ing air, and the warm body of your spouse all make get­ting out of bed far from easy.

The best thing you can do is imme­di­ately sit up in your bed and place your feet in the floor when it’s time to awake.  Train your­self to phys­i­cally get out of the bed and walk to the bath­room imme­di­ately.

The habit of hit­ting the snooze but­ton can some­times go on for hours, and you’re train­ing your­self to be lazy.  Your sub­con­sciously con­di­tion­ing your mind to think that when it hears the sound of an alarm, the cor­rect response is to go back to sleep.

What kind of sense does that make?  Lose the snooze, remain in deep sleep for that extra 15 min­utes and get out of bed imme­di­ately.  15 min­utes of deep sleep is actu­ally bet­ter than 45 – 60 min­utes of in and out sleep, like what you get while play­ing with snooze.

Deep sleep is the name of the game.  If you can learn how to achieve deep sleep for most of the time you are in your bed, your sleep hours will be more effi­cient and you won’t need to spend as much time in the bed.  Check out his awe­some pro­gram will helps you gain a sense of relax­ation and inner peace.
