My watch says 5:05 in the morning. My body says: hui, my head: what the fuck, so early in the desk ... but I've got all day. But my heart, my heart knows it's damn early and it's damn good to be the best time to write.

In recent months, I always woke up without an alarm clock 5:30 to 7:00 and have always particularly enjoyed the first hours of the day and spent productively. Therefore, I give myself together and the day a little more - and with an alarm clock - a kiss.

It's 5:07 in the morning and there is only the silence and me and the keyboard and the screen, the lights and absorbs my words. Today, there are words about the early morning and about what he gives to those who are already awake.

1 clarity

You not wast of thousand small and large requirements from a thousand directions back and forth pushing until you feel dizzy.

No annoying, neither mail nor phone calls, still life come out in the way. Your children are still asleep, your partner also, your colleagues and your competitors fortiori. Television has nothing to offer but "The most beautiful rail routes in Germany".

Benjamin Franklin is every morning got up at 5am to undisturbed citizen militias are planning to draft the Constitution of the United States in the head and invent the lightning rod. The philosopher Immanuel Kant stood up at this time to smoke a pipe, to meditate and his epistemology or phrases such as "Who makes himself a worm, should not complain when it is kicked" devise.

At 5 am're just you there, with your clear thoughts, your goals, your plans and time for you.

2 Self-discipline - in the early morning or never

Why do we create it after working so rare to do sports, or to take care of our blog or to give finally our family the attention it deserves? Why most diets are thrown overboard in the evening?

Studies have shown: Self-discipline is a muscle that relaxes throughout the day. Every little decision you meet (even in yellow on the light?), Every tiny task that you do not do out of pure pleasure or habit (even fast iron the shirt before it goes to the office. Lieber only eat the apple when the family pack chocolate bars.), claims the muscle of self discipline. At end of which there is nothing left. All 'Your projects take to make exercise, meditate regularly, to start a business, to read more books or learning to play guitar, stand in the evening unarmed against an army of old, bad habits, from easy distractions and fatigue.

At 5 am You are like never self-disciplined on this day. Why this energy is not in you and invest your dreams, instead they give away on the day of your job and the things that others have planned for you (Duuu, you can not even briefly ...)?

3 enthusiasm

Between 6 am and 9 am, people tweet with the highest percentage of words like "fantastic!", "Super", "pride" and "shit, that's cool!", So the results of a large sample. There are people who have done great in all outer peace with joy, as the sun rose.

At 5 am You do not have a lot of time to do things that feel awesome, bring you forward and be proud. While your fellow man still wallowing in bed.

4 Creativity

Ernest Hemingway stood up with the dawn to write about old men and seas, the war and The Snows of Kilimanjaro and thus securing a Nobel Prize for Literature and millions of readers.

At 5 am You can put yourself hanging on the teat of creativity and drinking with big sips from it. Sounds disgusting, but is so.

5 The early morning attracts success

James Citrin, CEO of a global recruitment and even an early riser by conviction, has 20 managers of international companies surveyed when they arise and how they spend the morning hours. None of them started the day at 6 PM. The survey was conducted among others Steve Reinemund, former head of PepsiCo. Reinemund stands at 5 am, go four miles walk (outside or or the treadmill), then takes a shower, meditating, reading a book or the newspaper and then spend without hassle breakfast time with his children before he leaves the office and working starts. He knows what it is most important, must be done first. For daytime is urgent things crowd in the foreground, so long do not have to be important.

At 5 am the successful take the reins of their lives into their own hands.

How to become an early riser

Reads everything good and beautiful, like you think, but is your fatigue you prohibit, to start the day so early, so you make will it Classify No, it is not - if you approach sex properly.

Blogger Steve Pavlina recommends after countless self-test, get up every morning zurselben time, seven days a week. He always gets up at 5am. The trick is therefore not likely to go to bed, but always only when you are tired. The body learns within a few days that it has again the next morning at 5 am out of bed. Allen sleep he needs, he directed then from afterwards. However, coffee consumption complicates this regulation: the black gold brings the organism, his hormones and rhythms mixed up more than one woman in bikini a pimply teen.

If you lie in bed, so Pavlina, and not the Slumberland within five minutes walk into, it is still too early to sleep. Reading a good book until it zuleiert you eyes, in this case is of course better than you to make splash from television and his horror of blood in his eyes.

So you fall asleep and perhaps better than in years (to go to bed early is one of the most common causes of sleep problems) ... and then it's 5 o'clock and the alarm clock rattles while your mind still wanders between worlds and enveloped in gray mist is. In this state, there is a tendency to respond automatically. Normally this means that alarm clock on snooze or alarm completely, turn, further kip. What can be done to put the already? A new automatism. To do this we need to condition us, so an event - the alarm clock ringing - associate with an action, getting up. Leg 'you to eventually go to bed, if you have time, alternate your alarm clock so that it will ring in five minutes, close your eyes, just imagine, it is early in the morning. And when the alarm goes off, hau drauf, stretch yourself and arise immediately afterwards on. Repeat the whole thing a few times and rehearse again the next day. So your brain the clanging alarm associated with it, just to get up quickly, instead of turning around now and go back to sleep.

The conditioning is one thing, but to getting up early is habit, you need more to really get up when the alarm rings: a real reason to get up.
