OWN THE MORNING
I just started the Daily Habits Course from Ryan Holiday at the dailystoic.com
The first lesson: Own the morning
There is some research that suggests waking up early leads to:
- Lower Risk of Depression
- Greater Positivity and Proactivity
- Healthier Eating habits and Increased Health
As Marcus Aurelius stated
"We human beings are all employed in the same profession: living. And we can’t have any level of success or happiness from under the covers. We have to own the morning. Otherwise, we might as well bury ourselves alive."
So what does owning the morning mean?
Waking up early, but not just for the sake of waking up early, but taking advantage of that time to:
- Read a book
- Journal
- Meditate
- Workout
- Work on personal projects
- Have more quality time with family
This also starts the night before by having a good sleep routine and getting to bed at a reasonable time.
Setting consistent sleep and wake times is a great way to build these habits
The more structure we can build into our lives the easier it will be to build and stick to habits of consistent exercise, healthy eating, mental health practices etc.
I believe we are all athletes and that we should train like athletes to some degree regardless of our goals.
