I had breakfast with my colleague *** this morning. I was already very energetic, but she was still bleary-eyed and had no appetite. It felt like there was a jet lag between us.

She woke up and muttered angrily that she never got enough sleep. She asked me what time I usually get up, and I answered, 05:00am.

Looking at her big mouth, I knew she was Completely awake.

My habit of getting up early has alarmed many attentive readers. Some people even left a message on my Weibo. Are you not sleepy after getting up so early? What time do you go to bed at night? How do you insist on getting up early?

I, a mysterious Scorpio, have decided not to talk mysteriously about how to develop my morning personality.

When I was in middle school, my habit of getting up early was forced into rehearsal.

If I made a mistake in writing the essay grid or made corrections in the exercise book, I would tear it up and rewrite it. The pursuit of perfection was my inner script. As a result, when I couldn’t complete my homework, I could only set the alarm clock for the next day and get up early to rush. At that time, in order to avoid the pain of getting up early, I vowed to give up my obsessive-compulsive disorder at work.

After I entered college, my habit of getting up early officially ended.

Firstly, it gets early in the east, so I am sensitive to light and wake up early automatically; secondly, there is a top student in the same dormitory who wakes up very early. After signing up for intermediate interpretation, she gets up early every day to read English aloud.

I followed her to bed early and got up early, shouting "Old top student, take me here". At that time, we washed up quietly early in the morning, found a corner of the campus with beautiful scenery and started studying.

After I tasted the benefits of great progress and good condition, getting up early has solidified into my living habit. Later, when I got a job and got married, I still woke up naturally around 5 a.m. every morning.

What wakes me up is not the alarm clock, but the wonderful life experience

When I wake up, I don’t stay in bed thinking or tossing and turning. Instead, I do two planks and get up quickly, because There are several concubines waiting for me to turn over: reading, writing, exercising or making breakfast.

I like to read between 5 and 7 o'clock. The phone is mute and my spouse is still sleeping. There is no disturbance. It is quiet and warm. This is my private date time with the author.

The author shares his experience or expresses his opinion in the book, and I respond to the author with encouragement or different opinions. I take notes while reading the book, thinking through my mind and being efficient. And focus.

When inspiration strikes, I write articles. During this period, my thoughts are most easily clarified and my mood is most settled. I often hit the keyboard to create a sense of rhythm, and I’m still not finished writing until it’s time to go out to work.

When I neglect to take care of my body, I feel guilty and do not hesitate to use my early morning time to make up for it.

When I feel that I am lacking exercise, I will spread out the yoga mat, play soothing music quietly, and let myself breathe in and out, and strengthen myself through stretching;

If you feel you are lacking nutrition, you can cook multi-grain porridge, squeeze soy milk, or make scented tea, and take dietary supplements to strengthen your body.

The two hours every morning allow me to stay away from all information entropy, and I can do what I like calmly, calmly and methodically. This experience is really wonderful.

If you insist on getting up early for a long time, you will live an upgraded version of yourself

You must have heard Kobe Bryant’s famous saying, “Do you know what it’s like at four o’clock in the morning in Los Angeles? ”

He said,

Every day at four o’clock in the morning in Los Angeles it is still dark, so I get up and walk on the dark streets of Los Angeles. One day has passed, and the darkness of Los Angeles has not changed at all; two days have passed, and the darkness has still not changed at all;

More than ten years have passed, and the darkness of the streets of Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning has still not changed, but I have He has become an athlete with strong muscles, physical fitness, strength, and a high shooting percentage.

My roommate, who is a top student in college, insisted on getting up early to study for four years in college, and passed both intermediate and advanced interpretation. Later, she went to the prestigious school of her dreams to study for graduate school.

I used to have a friend who was in foreign trade and was responsible for the South American market. She told me that she got up at 4:30 to send emails. This was the time when she communicated with foreign customers at the same time, and her performance was also the best. level.

Many prolific writers get up at four or five in the morning to write. Haruki Murakami gets up around four in the morning to write novels, and Li Xiaoyi, who has a fragrant soul, also gets up after four in the morning to write articles.

Every persistence is accompanied by pain and gain. The time you get up early is recharged into the 10,000-hour rule that changes your life, and finally turns into stronger muscles, better results, and better results. With outstanding performance and more prolific results, they have become upgraded versions of themselves.

The formula for morning people to get up early is revealed. How to get up early without pain and stay efficient?

1. Get up early and force yourself to develop a good habit of going to bed early

People who can’t fall asleep by checking their mobile phones at night can’t wake up with the alarm clock in the morning, but many people who get up early can go to bed early. , this is the conservation law of sleep.

There is a title called "Staying up late, I want to stay with myself for a while". I wish I could get up early, and it is healthier from a scientific point of view. How can the physical fitness of night owls be better? Morning person?

My roommate who is a top student goes to bed at ten o'clock in the evening, gets up at five o'clock in the morning, and runs at night almost every day. I am so envious of her good condition, from her skin to her complexion, from her figure to her grades.

I’m up at 11 o’clock now, and I feel like there’s glue on my eyelids. The quality of my sleep is so good that I can fall unconscious as soon as I touch the pillow. I don't even know when there is a thunderstorm at night, and I have to squint every now and then on my way to and from work.

2. Find a way to get into the state quickly after waking up early

When "Da Fang" magazine interviewed Haruki Murakami, the village treasure said, "When writing novels, it is basically four o'clock in the morning. Get up right away, never use an alarm clock, make coffee, eat snacks, and start working immediately. The key is to get into work immediately and not procrastinate. "

My experience is that I still toss and turn in bed when I wake up. , I tend to feel dizzy all day long; when I wake up early and delay doing anything else, I feel deeply frustrated because I am wasting my precious time.

And if I do two or three tablets after waking up, rub my face for half a minute after leaving the bedroom, and then immediately dive into reading, writing, exercising or making breakfast after my mind is clear, then that’s it! A good day brings good luck.

3. Thinking matters gt; operational matters gt; unimportant matters

In the morning, you are energetic and in good condition, suitable for studying and thinking. For example, it can be used for in-depth reading, practicing foreign languages, listening to open classes, building a knowledge system, etc. For example, if you are usually pushed around, you can calm down and think about the priorities of life.

If operational matters are not urgent, there is no need to use this time to do them.

Replying to emails will make people feel that the work is too long, and using it to do housework and chores will waste the morning. Overkill.

There are also some less important things, such as going to business school in WeChat Moments and reading popular gossip on Weibo. If these trivial matters are put into the day's plan, it will really be a waste of money in the morning.

4. You might as well try it from getting up half an hour early

A few days ago, Xiao Yi in the editorial group asked me that she was busy working on business, writing articles, and improving herself, and she felt strongly that Time is tight, and she also likes to get up early, but after trying to get up early, she loses energy.

People who do not have the habit of getting up early suddenly get up an hour or two early, and most of them will make the whole day very confusing, and they will shout "getting up early and ruining the day". The wrong method will waste their thoughts. The heart of self-breakthrough.

I suggest you try starting from getting up half an hour earlier, or even a quarter of an hour, gradually, and go to bed early, slowly adjust your biological clock, do what you are most interested in after getting up, and then find out what suits you best. Early morning plan.

Trust me, getting up early can be addictive.

Waking up early is like the summer solstice to me, because that day the sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer, the day is the longest and the night is the shortest. It lengthens my days and makes me feel more alive and bright.

I think of Xiong Peiyun’s poem, “You are your drop in the ocean, you are one of your thousands of possibilities.” If you get up earlier and do what you like, the possibility of becoming a better you will also increase. It will be bigger.
