You must think I said it backwards? That's not true.
Getting up early is not to use the brain to guide behavior, but to control the brain directly with action.
From the lazy state of sleeping or staying in bed to the action state of getting up, it is a transformation from relaxation to tension, which is essentially anti-human.
Then why can't you use your brain to guide your actions?
I have also practiced other methods of answering the Lord's recommendation-repeating all kinds of dream chicken soup in my mind when I get up, hoping to help us get up early with the power of chicken blood. As the saying goes, "It's not the alarm clock that wakes you up, but the dream."
The first two days were ok, but when I got to the back, it was obvious that the slogan ideal that worked for me a few days ago was not exciting enough today. The most unreliable thing is not that the ideal must be innovative or not exciting enough, but the worst thing is that in order to get up, I often need to stimulate it repeatedly with chicken soup and chicken blood, and choosing to stay in bed only needs one sentence: "Forget it, sleep for another 5 minutes, just 5 minutes ..."
This is really unfair.
In the face of human nature, temptation always seems to have the opportunity to enlarge countless times.
So I began to think, is there any other way?
Then I suddenly remembered a documentary about Hengshui, where children get up at 5 o'clock all year round, even in winter. The reporter asked one of the children, "doesn't it hurt to get up so cold and early?" The child's answer is very interesting: "first of all, the school rules must be like this, and I can't help it, but actually getting up early just sounds painful." When it really gets up, it's just like that, nothing special ... "
"It sounds very painful, and that's it when it really gets up."
It sounds strange, but there is a reliable logic behind it:
Man is a species with strong adaptability and self-explanation ability.
You must have had such an experience. You set yourself a goal of running five kilometers a day, but every time you go running, your heart is always contradictory. I feel that five kilometers is a long and painful process, but once you start running, the sense of conflict will soon disappear, and you will not feel so painful in the process, but will become more and more focused. Even after running five kilometers, you are still considering whether to run another kilometer …
That's it. It is often difficult at first, but once we start to do something, we can always adapt to our present situation quickly, naturally devote ourselves to the current thing, and keep working hard in the process until the so-called goal is achieved.
Understand this truth, then do what you should do. You have to believe that no matter how difficult it is before you start and how painful the process is, once you really start, that's all.
So I simply gave up paralyzing myself with all kinds of chicken soup and chicken blood when I should get up.
Don't think so much!
Who loves to think? I don't want to anyway!
Don't think so complicated! !
Who can think so complicated early in the morning?
Not at all! ! !
Just think of one thing: "I want to get up now!" " "
It's that simple, and then what? Stand up.
When I say get up, I don't mean get out of bed and then sit in bed and go into a trance, because you are at risk of being knocked down by "sleeping for another five minutes" at any time. I mean get out of bed completely, stand on the floor and get dressed. If you can walk a few more steps, take a few deep breaths.
Is it painful? Pain, but only 1 second pain.
Just like running, our brains always have the ability to explain and rationalize our present situation. When you are in bed, your brain will feel that it is not bad to stay in bed all the time, and it will feel too painful to get up. If you have got up and stood up, your brain will immediately think that getting up early is the right thing to do. Now that you're up, it's right for awesome people to wash their hands and start working.
Therefore, for such anti-human things as getting up early, don't think about using your brain to guide your actions, and don't use those complicated things to brainwash you every day. The easiest way is to guide your brain with actions.
The easiest way is to get up and just think "I just want to get up", and then get up without any psychological preparation or hesitation. As for the work of adapting to the state after getting up, you can rest assured that you can give it to your brain. He is best at rationalization.
If you still find it difficult to do it, it is also good to take an examination of the goddess of high cold and say in your heart:
"3, 2, 1, Lao Tzu is going to change!"
Then move quickly and pose handsomely. Take advantage of the countdown and jump up at the moment of counting to 1. You are the most beautiful boy in the world!

Here are two methods that I have personally tested that can significantly alleviate the pain of getting up early, namely, the 3-minute alarm clock method and the 25-minute coffee method.
3 minutes alarm clock method
The specific operation is to set a wake-up alarm clock with lower volume and softer ringtone 3 minutes before your planned wake-up time. When this alarm clock rings, you won't be awakened violently, but gradually wake up from your sleep ... huh? Well, the alarm clock went off ... Well, I'm going to get up soon. ...
This kind of reminder three minutes in advance will make your body anticipate and adjust the behavior that may happen after three minutes, so that the behavior of getting up when the real alarm clock rings is not so painful.
The three-minute alarm clock method or the double alarm clock method has two reminders:
1) The 3-minute alarm clock should be placed near the head to prevent the bell from being too soft to wake up.
2) Don't alarm the alarm clock too hard in advance. Awakening gradually is the best way. The choice of ringtone and the appropriate volume can be determined by experiments.
