We can’t change them overnight, but there are few things we can adapt to our daily life which we help us achieve our goal in the long run.

Sometimes we bluntly decide that getting up early in the morning is not a cup of our tea. Well, that is where we go wrong. Everything depends on our choice and if we choose to adopt a healthy lifestyle, then there has to be no looking back.

Here are few methods, tips or things to do to wake up that will surely help you to leave the bed early and soak in the first ray of Sun.

1. Don’t be harsh on yourself

This is not a question about your capability and willingness; it is about your body. And you should change your routine overnight. Because this will not allow your body to adjust with the sudden change. As a result, you might feel uncomfortable and sick. Make a schedule.

2. Fix your goal

You will obviously need some motivation. So stop looking for it everywhere and rather for something. This will make you responsible and help you realize that why utilizing your time in the correct manner will be fruitful later.

3. Sleep on time

You must prioritize your sleep along with waking up early. An adult requires 8-10 hours of sleep. And you must not try to wake up early in the morning when you sleep late at night. So the foremost thing is to sleep early without any disturbance. Turn off your mobile data, music system etcetera and go for a sound sleep.

4. Put aside the alarm clock

We all have a habit of setting a time on an alarm clock or our phone. But to be honest, it is a bad habit. Because that rather makes you lazier and gives you a chance to escape. Many people keep the alarm clock beside their bed and as soon as it rings, they stop it and go to sleep. This is of no use. Get out of your bedroom. Once you hear the clock ringing, don’t just stop it immediately. Rather, get out of your bed and bedroom too.

5. Set two alarms:

We all know one alarm is not enough for almost all the people to get up. We always make it snoozzzze… snooooze… and snooze. So here is the tip, set two alarms, one with the time you want to wake up and other 15 minutes earlier. The first alarm lets you know that you still have 15 more minutes to sleep, which makes you happy Yay..!! 😀

6. Keep the alarm away from your bed:

Make sure that your alarm is far away from your bed so that you have to get up to disable it. You have to walk so you chase it and shut it off! This is the hardest exercise in morning but really useful ;

7. Set energetic song as alarm tune:

Make your alarm tone a bit high and energetic so that you feel the vibes of positive energy within yourself. If you don’t want an alarm tune, you can also set up Radio or Music system as an alarm. Trust me, this will make your morning beautiful.

8. Utilize your time

Once you wake up early, you will get enough time for yourself. So make it a point to utilize that time judiciously. Read journals, complete your assignments, do exercise, etcetera. Do anything that will motivate you to never feel old of the habit.

9. Take a walk

Enjoy the tranquillity of nature and fill yourself with refreshing aura. Watching sunrise is indeed a reward. So why not turn it into a routine?

How Does Worshiping Time Mean Being Healthy?

Our health is our most prized possession. It is the most precious gift given by God. And it is our responsibility to nourish and nurture it. But unfortunately, we neglect the importance of both time and our health. And the result is nerve-wracking.

According to numerous researchers and surveys, it can be clearly stated that people who once oversee a symptom later run out of money treating the disease. With our hectic schedule as an excuse, we tend to procrastinate the routine check-ups, consulting the physician, doing exercise, eating healthy and even getting enough sleep. We often plan to spend our weekends celebrating and getting a break. There are parties and night outs and quite naturally we hate Monday morning blues, but what we don’t notice is the mechanism of our body.

The systems in our body need rest to heal and prepare for yet another day. It is also seen that heart-attacks mainly take place during the early morning, especially when our body has sleep loss. Not getting enough amount of sleep makes one person lethargic, weak and sometimes depressed too. So, the major concern here is how to manage our time and have an ideal life.

It won’t be wrong if I say that we have all grown up hearing these words quoted by Benjamin Franklin. And by now we have all realized how true this is. While we need a peaceful sleep, there is a certain time for it. Irregular sleeping routine can even cause more damage as the body is not acquainted with such changes.

According to the sleep chart released by National Sleep Foundation (a non-profit organization of US that helps the public to understand sleep), the ideal sleep duration varies for different age groups. For infants, it is 12-15 hours, while for teenagers, it is 8-10 hours, and for adults; it is 7-9 hours.

Definitely, our body needs a suitable amount of sleep and also naps but that does not mean anywhere that this can be anywhere in the day. Waking up early in the morning is the best practice. And to wake up early, one must start sleeping early. But waking up either not an easy task for everyone or people don’t understand the health benefits of waking up early in the morning.

Here are few of the benefits that are related to this good habit. These may help you in solving your problem of how to get up early:

• For all those people who believe in spirituality, will understand the benefits of having a peaceful surrounding. And early mornings are most ideal for meditation and chanting the sacred hymns.
