There’s nothing quite like waking up before sunrise. I used to despise waking up early. The more sleep the better. But after about 3 weeks of waking up at 5:30a everyday I’m not only getting the hang of it…I look forward to it. 

It takes about 3 weeks to create a new habit and break an old one. So if you want to make something a part of your life, like exercise or eating healthy, etc, give it time. Give it 3 weeks…let it become a habit…and enjoy!

Here are some great tips for waking up early!

• Get excited. The night before, think of one thing you’d like to do in the morning that excites you.
• Put your alarm across the room. If it’s right next to you, you’ll hit the snooze button. 
• Drink a glass of water. You’re dehydrated from not drinking any water all night. Drink a full glass of water if you can. It’ll make you feel more awake.
• Enjoy a cup of coffee (duh!)

Do you wake up early? Why or why not?
