Going To Bed Early And Waking Up Early

     This is the biggest part to improving yourself. Let’s be honest past 10 o’clock you’re not really doing anything that is going to improve your life. The morning is the most productive time of the day. Most people spend their mornings sleeping after pressing their snooze button. The real truth that pressing the snooze button gets your more sleep and therefore you will be better rested than if you would’ve just woken up is completely false. It is a fact that you will be more tired when you wake after you snooze your alarm than before. By completing your tasks in the morning, it will give you more flexibility to do things you want to do after you complete your tasks. This could be hanging out with friends, reading a book, or joining a club or group. This is one of the hardest pieces to implement in order to improve your life.

     To start waking up earlier, set your alarm anywhere from 30 mins- an hour earlier than you usually do to wake up. Try this for 30 days and you will be able to see the benefits of waking up early in the morning.

     The second piece to waking up early is going to bed earlier. I used to enjoy playing video games and watching TV before I went to bed. I had always been told that if you read a book before going to bed you will not only fall asleep faster but you will get an overall better sleep. I never used to enjoy reading but I really wanted to fall asleep faster and sleep better so I decided to give it a try. I don’t want to go into too much detail about reading because I cover it in another blog post. After you check out the reading blog post, check out the morning and night routine blog posts.

     This is probably one of the hardest things you will have to do because it requires the biggest change. Not only do you have to start going to bed earlier, but you also have to wake up earlier. This may require the biggest change, but with that big change comes the big improvement. I have noticed this change within myself and it makes me think that I have become a completely different person. I just made two simple changes to my life that ended up improving my life and opening up a door to a new more productive life. The first couple days are always the hardest, but if you can fight the urge and form these two habits you will be so thankful you did.

Morning Routine

A morning routine is the best way to start your day. A morning routine can consists of anything that you want. For example my morning routine consists of drinking a full glass of water, getting a shower, brushing my teeth, look at my task list, and eat breakfast. I start out my day with drinking a full glass of water because after not drinking any water for 8 hours makes a person dehydrated and when you are dehydrated it can feel like you are really tired. This part is the most important for me because after I drink some water I feel less tired and I am ready to get on with my day. The next thing that I do is get a shower. By taking a shower right away I just wake myself up a little more! I also feel a lot better when I am all clean. The next thing that I do is brush my floss and brush my teeth. I like to get rid of the morning breath next because I also feel better when my mouth is clean too. The next thing that I do is look at my task list. I like to have an idea of what I need to ta

Exercise

Exercise has been a big part of my life. I played soccer throughout my life and I still do in college so, I have needed to keep in great shape. There are many different ways that you can exercise. You can lift weights, run, swim, jump rope, do yoga, etc. Other outlets like watching T.V or playing a game just make me sluggish, not want to go back to doing my work, and they also make me really tired and sluggish. I don’t want to get into too much detail about the negative outlets because I have a whole blog post dedicated to that called, “Avoiding Distractions.” I usually just use weight lifting, running, adn swimming but you can use any sort of exercise you want. After I exercise I feel really good about myself and confident and this thought process helps me to keep my day productive. I have always used exercise as an outlet from class work because it gives me an energy boost after I am done. The energy boost comes from the increased blood flow which allows more blood and oxygen to get

Cutting Out The Distractions

A distraction is anything that prevents someone from giving their full attention to someone else. There are so many different distractions from watching T.V to playing video games. I have personally struggled with distractions on and off. My freshman year of college I struggled a lot with distractions because I would always watch Netflix or play video games. I would get assigned a big project to do and I would panic and not know where to start and then I would think I have so much time to get this done I will just finish it later. I would then start to watch Netflix or play video games because it was more fun than working on my project. I had more fun watching Netflix which only made my distractions worse. I would also watch Netflix before I went to bed which would keep me up at night and have me wake up at late and waste so much time. I was stuck in a vicious cycle and I kept going like this for days in a row. I finally got sick of wasting so much time and being distracted that I deci
