6. GIVE YOURSELF AN IRRESISTIBLE REASON TO WAKE UP EARLY
What’s your vision for your extra time when you master the habit of waking up earlier? Have you considered the impact of that vision on whether you follow through? If your morning vision is to run when you wake up, but you don’t like running, you associate early rising with something unpleasant.
Change sticks when it’s associated with something pleasant. Plan to do something you love during your early mornings. When your early-morning plan includes something you’re excited about, that snooze button stops seeing so much action. Think about it: if your goal doesn’t sound exciting, you’ll always see waking up early as a punishment, which won’t motivate you to jump out of bed when your alarm goes off.
