hey life masters this is Stefan James
from project life mastery tool a cup
every morning at 5 a.m. even when you
don't feel like it because I think we
both know there's many times where you
want to wake up earlier you know the
benefits of doing so but you're not
doing it it's uncomfortable it's hard at
the beginning just like with any new
habit that you're implementing in your
life because that's what this is if
you're gonna wake up at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m.
or 4 a.m. that's a habit that anytime
you implement a new habit the beginning
is the most uncomfortable it's the
initial period for the first maybe week
2 weeks 3 weeks then it becomes
automatic then it becomes easy then it
becomes natural ok so you've got to
understand that process of implementing
a new habit now I think the first and
most important thing is getting to know
why you want to wake up earlier what's
your purpose for doing so you got to
know the benefits of waking up at 5 a.m.
and associate to those benefits because
your why is what's gonna discipline you
to actually go through that
uncomfortable period at the beginning to
really make it a must and to wake up at
5 a.m. even when you don't feel like it
even when it's uncomfortable even when
you would still want to sleep in okay
for me my why my purpose for doing it is
I know that by waking up at 5 a.m. I'm
building discipline of building
willpower in my life that's setting up
my day for success I know by waking up
at 5 a.m. I feel like I get such an
advantage over most other people you
know by 5 a.m. I can have a great
morning ritual I can go to the gym I can
plan out my day I can already get my
highest income activity done for the day
or the highest leverage thing in my
business that can really propel my life
more than everything else and so by the
time it's like 9:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m. I
already feel like I've got so much done
and that psychologically gives you such
a great advantage you know you feel like
you're getting ahead and then another
great benefit that I love of waking up
at 5 a.m. is that it forces you to go to
bed earlier and I've noticed that a lot
of the times in the evening time people
spend it at 9:00 p.m. 11 10 11 p.m.
midnight you know if you're up that up
at that hours most often people aren't
the most productive at those hours often
times is kind of edging out on the couch
or
and watching Netflix or TV or you know
watching YouTube videos or even eating
junk food in a lot of cases - because
your willpower is at the lowest point so
for me by forcing myself to go to bed
earlier I can spend more of those hours
in the morning and actually get more out
of the day right so I find I can just
get so much more done and be so much
more productive by waking up earlier but
you got to know what is your why why do
you want to wake up at 5:00 a.m. write
down what those reasons are cuz that
will motivate you to actually do this
okay if you believe it's important
enough you'll do it if you don't then
obviously you're not gonna do this now
when it comes to a few tips I want to
share with you I think half of the
battle half of the battle waking up at 5
a.m. is knowing what time you got to go
to sleep at ok because you're still
going to make sure you're getting a
sufficient enough amount of sleep I mean
if you go to you know bed at midnight
for example and then you got to wake up
at 5:00 and you're only getting 5 hours
of sleep and so of course it's gonna be
challenging to wake up at 5:00 a.m.
because you're gonna be tired you're
gonna your body is gonna be craving more
sleep and especially if you've been used
to sleeping 7 or 8 hours a day so if you
still want to get seven to eight hours a
day asleep every day which is what I
recommend that means that you have to
plan what time you're gonna go to bed at
so if you're waking up at 5:00 a.m.
let's say you're getting seven hours of
sleep that means you have to go to bed
by 10:00 p.m. okay or 9:00 p.m. if you
want to get it eight hours and so what I
recommend that you do is you've got a
really plan and schedule what time
you're gonna go to bed okay prepare for
that and I actually recommend setting an
alarm on your phone okay set an alarm on
your phone one hour before your
designated bedtime so if you're gonna go
to bed at ten pm set an hour on your
phone or like a reminder on your phone
at 9:00 p.m. that says you know you got
to start getting ready for bed you're
gonna start to settle down whatever it
is that you're doing maybe you could
have like an evening ritual to help
settle yourself down maybe just reading
a book maybe it's journaling maybe it's
meditation but things that kind of help
you switch gears to kind of preparing
for sleep okay I think that's really
important to make sure that you have
that you know for me a few things that
also help me too because if you're not
used to going in bed
as say like 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. or maybe
you're used to staying up until midnight
you'll have a hard time going to bed
initially ok at the beginning when
you're implementing this new habit it'll
be hard but your body will adapt your
natural body clock will change so a few
things that can help you with that when
one would be a supplement called
melatonin ok melatonin is what your body
naturally produces usually when it gets
darker out so that it prepares you to
sleep helps you be a little bit more
drowsy so melatonin is a supplement that
you can get you can bite it pretty much
any health food store any pharmacy
typically very inexpensive but you can
take a bit of melatonin and that what
kind of help you be a little bit more
drowsy and to sleep a lot easier
I also recommend using blue blocking
glasses they're basically glasses that
you can wear the help block out blue
light that also prevents your body from
releasing melatonin so a lot of people
in the evening time they can't sleep
because a lot of the times they're you
know watching things on their computer
on their TV on their phone they're on
devices that's preventing themselves
from releasing the melatonin so the blue
blocking glasses will help make sure
that your body is still releasing
melatonin and will help you sleep a lot
easier ok and like I said adding in some
sort of ritual at nighttime to help you
settle down maybe it's taking a bath
maybe it's going to the sauna maybe it's
doing yoga things like that to help your
body calm down to prepare itself for
sleep is very important the next thing
when it comes to waking up is obviously
you want to set an alarm clock alarm
clock for 5 a.m. but what I recommend
that you do is take your alarm clock
let's say it's your phone but put it on
the other side of the room or even
outside of your room where you can still
hear it that'll wake you up but it will
force you to actually get out of bed to
then go and turn off the alarm because
if you have your alarm right next to you
on your bed then you can easily hit the
snooze you can easily you know ignore it
and go back to sleep so by actually
forcing yourself to physically get up in
the morning now you're up right now
you've got some momentum you know it's a
lot harder than to go back to bed
and half of it's just you know getting
out of bed in the morning so setting the
alarm putting it further away is great I
also recommend if you can
change the alarm clock so it's something
that gets you fired up something excited
in the morning I love really
inspirational music or pump up music
maybe you have a favorite song that you
listen to try to set that as your alarm
and on on phones today there's lots of
apps that can they can allow you to do
that you can find them on the App
Store's
even on your computer as well so if you
have your computer there are software's
and apps that you can get for it that
will allow you to play any song that you
have on your phone or any song that you
might have on your playlist you know you
can actually play that as your alarm
clock and that's just gonna be a much
more empowering way to start the day
we're gonna feel a lot more excited if
you want to take it a step further
because I struggle with this for a long
time and what I did is I realized I
needed to have a purpose for waking up
at 5:00 a.m. and so what I actually did
was I actually had a friend that also
wanted to wake up earlier or it could be
a friend that already wakes up at 5:00
a.m. where you reach out to that person
you make a deal with them and you say
hey listen I'm trying to wake up at 5:00
a.m. every day I need your help so
here's what I'll commit to doing how
about we do this at 5:00
10:00 a.m. okay 5:10 a.m. what we got to
do is hop on a call I've got to call you
at 5:00 10:00 in the morning or you call
me kind of like a wake-up call I guess
but that way I'm forced to have a
conversation with someone and the call
is just gonna be very simple we're just
gonna share what we're committed to
doing for that day what's one or two or
three things we're gonna commit to
accomplishing that day so now you have a
reason to wake up because you know if
you don't have a reason to wake up at
5:00 a.m. you won't you'll sleep in if
you know if you're given that
opportunity but if you had like your job
that you got to wake up at 5:00 a.m.
because you got to be at work at 5:30
you're more likely to because there's a
consequence for not doing it so at least
being accountable to someone else will
force you to wake up at 5:00 a.m. and
then you know having to get on a call
and then I even take it a step further
where I say to my friend listen if I
don't call you at 5:10 okay if I don't
call you 5:10 even if I'm at one minute
late then I'll give you $10 okay I'll
give you 20 bucks or often donate this
to a charity but that forces me to have
a consequence for missing it so now I'm
forced to actually make sure that I do
wake up at 5:00
and I honor my commitment and I have
integrity with that okay so that's a
little technique if you still struggle
with it is have that that reason one
time I remember one point I did a deal
with my friend where I had to be at the
gym I think about like 5:30 in the
morning and so every morning and I'd
have to send him a text message like a
selfie of me outside the gym proving
that I was at the gym that day and if I
missed it by sending it an hour late or
whatever it is I'd have to give them $10
so you know you don't want to obviously
give your friend that money so it's
gonna motivate you to make sure that you
do it so that's another little tip that
can help you but I think another thing
is that when the alarm clock goes off
you got to make sure you discipline
yourself to right away jump out of bed
for me I'm a big fan of morning rituals
I force myself whenever I hear my alarm
- smile - smile because a lot of people
want to hear the alarm they kind of
dread it you know they feel pain and
that's such a horrible way to start off
the day isn't it
what if instead you force yourself to
have a big smile on her face now at the
beginning it's not gonna feel
comfortable but after a while you get
used to it and you automatically feel
good when you smile you have a sense of
gratitude and appreciation for the day
and that's setting up the day in a much
more positive way than just kind of you
know dreading the process for waking up
in the morning also having an empowering
morning ritual I believe that how you
start the day is how you end the day so
for me I've got mapped out a ritual that
I'd go throughout any morning you know
maybe for example for you it's waking up
in the morning it's going to the
bathroom brushing your teeth maybe from
there it's drinking a great glass of
water hydrating your body making sure
you're giving it the energy that it
needs
maybe it's doing 5 minutes of stretches
maybe it's going to the gym you know or
going for a walk outside or going for a
run
maybe it's you know having some healthy
juices
maybe it's reading a book an empowering
book maybe it's prayer maybe it's
meditation right by having a ritual like
that it's gonna help you get momentum
for the day and sometimes it's great
just to read or meditate things that
don't require a lot of energy but will
kind of slowly warm yourself up and then
eventually you know going to the gym or
things that require a little bit more
energy for you to do it another thing
too is that at the beginning you might
be a bit more
tired than you normally would be because
you might not sleep as well you might
have a hard time the first hour two of
the night if you go into bed earlier of
you know falling asleep so you might
kind of you know be a little bit
Restless at nighttime a bit and so if
you absolutely need to use caffeine that
can be a great kind of crutch for you I
don't like to be dependent on caffeine
but I'll just gonna use it once in a
while whether it's coffee or like green
tea to give myself that you know use a
stimulant to give myself that energy so
that I can just kind of get used to it
at first and then you know once I'm
gonna have it of waking up at 5:00 a.m.
getting more than enough sleep then I
can you know remove the caffeine from my
life and I don't really need that as
much for energy because my body is now
adapted to it so that's just another
technique that can help you a bit with
this but as you can see you know just by
having a few of these little techniques
you know you can really accomplish this
and at the beginning it is a little bit
harder right like just like I said it
might be you might be a little bit more
tired you're not gonna get as much sleep
but you know I remember this great quote
from Arnold Schwarzenegger that says
what separates an amateur from a
champion is their willingness to go
through the pain period right if you're
willing to go through that pain period
the discomfort of establishing a new
habit that's what separates an amateur
from a champion so understand it will be
a little bit uncomfortable it might be
painful you might not get that great
sleep at first but now you're gonna have
a new habit in your life that is really
gonna serve you and empower you and help
you live your life on your terms and get
more done and really live the life that
you want to live so hopefully this has
