The Value of Organizing Tomorrow – Today

Are you seriously looking for some inspiration to help you rise earlier? There may be no confirmed health benefits associated with rising early, but this practice can benefit you in a lot of ways:

  1. Early rising lets you greet the day.
    Being able to say “good morning” to the morning can have a profoundly positive effect on your day. Say a morning prayer, be thankful for everything you have in your life, take a few deep breaths, and be ready for your day
  • Rising early gives you time to move at a slower pace and really appreciate your life, instead of getting up in a rush. When you are up early, you can do some light reading or do a blissful workout while the rest of the world is still sleeping. You can take the time to concentrate on yourself and your priorities.

2. Early rising gives you a jump-start.
Why roll out of bed, perpetually behind schedule, and then begin rushing to prepare yourself and your family for a long day ahead? By rising early, you can allow yourself a much nicer start to the day.

  • A renewing morning routine will give you more time to get things done before 9:00 am. By the time your coworkers come into the office, you have already started and will already have a feeling of accomplishment.

3. Early rising lets you experience the sunrise.
Waking up after sunrise daily means that you miss one of nature’s greatest feats. Imagine sipping tea in front of a big window or on your front porch, watching as the sky slowly brightens and the day comes to life. This alone may be more than enough reason to wake before sunrise every day.

  • If you need some motivation to rise up early, think of these: you may be so moved by the sounds of birds chirping, see the colors of the sky so blue, smell the sweet scent of cool air, and see the morning sunrise. Be sure to get up early to experience all these.

4. Early rising allows you to delight with a healthy breakfast.
Rising early means that you will actually have enough time to sit down and enjoy your breakfast. A healthy breakfast is an important part of hitting the ground running, as it gives you the needed energy to keep you going and keeps you fueled until lunchtime. It has also been proven that people who eat breakfast tend to be slimmer than those who don’t.

  • Visualize yourself having the time to slow down and enjoy breakfast while browsing through the newspaper, reading a book, watching the morning news, or drinking your morning coffee. These moments of relaxation may be good enough reason to get up earlier.

5. Early rising enables you to experience a more productive day.
As half the world is still sleeping, there’s plenty that you can achieve in your morning routine. Get a jump on your to-do list and benefit from the boosts in productivity that you can experience when you wake up earlier than usual.

  • You might even pencil in specific to-do list items for early mornings – small things that you can achieve more easily when nobody else is around, such as prepping lunches for your family or even catching up on bills.

These are only a few of the benefits that rising early can afford you. If you need more inspiration and motivation, try giving early rising a chance for a week or two and reflect on how you feel. Waking early in the morning isn’t for everyone.  However, it may be just what you need to be more effective in everything you do.
