Trust me, it's worth it
“It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.” – Aristotle
For those of you that know me, you are probably laughing at the subject line. I AM NOT an early morning person, but I want to be. I have been consistently setting the alarm for 5:00 am for a few months now – maybe 6:00 on the weekends, but still early. I am not saying I don’t hit the snooze a couple of mornings a week, but at least the intent is there and I am showing signs of progress.
Why am I doing this? It’s simple – my day seems to go better when I get up early. There is something about being up before most folks and getting my day started on the right foot. Speaking of feet, going for a run is what I typically like to start the day with. It’s been tough during this bitterly cold and rainy winter, but with some warmer weather approaching, I am really looking forward to catching a few sunrises while pounding the pavement.
Think I am crazy? Google it. There are a ton of articles that discuss the benefits of getting your butt out of bed rising early, as well as a few websites that are dedicated to the topic. I found these 10 Benefits of Rising Early on Zen Habits and couldn’t agree more with this list:
