Need To Wake Up Early?

Have you recently missed a flight? got to work late? missed a meeting? And all that because you were asleep and could not wake up... Well I have and that is why I give you the four scientifically proven steps, according to Askmen, in order to wake up early and never miss an important date, deadline, or meeting ever!

Step #1: Go to Bed Early!
---> getting six to eight hours of solid sleep is very important! you might put this off thinking that no matter what you will still be tired but if you get enough amount, a six to eight hours is enough and its proven, then you will be able to function effectively and efficiently throughout the day without feeling tired.

Step #2: Drink Water
---> drinking water is very important for your health. I do not mean drinking it right before you go to bed but throughout the day!It is very important to be and stay hydrated because dehydration will make you feel tired and not wanting to do anything. So drink up.

Step #3: Get Up & Stay Up
---> whatever you need to do to get out of bed DO IT! set the alarm clock across the room if you need to. When you wake up don't lie down in bed and say to yourself "Ok maybe just ten more minutes" because you know that "ten minutes" will turn out to be two hours! so as soon as you wake up get up and get out!

Step #4: Establish A Routine
---> Establishing a routine is very important. Once your body get use to getting up early then it will be automatic. The first several days might be the worst day but once you get through them and establish that routine that you are looking for then you are set for life...well maybe not for life but until you mess it up again.

Try it and let me know if it works! I will be following those pointers from today!

Good Luck

3 WAYS TO BEAT YOUR BAD HABITS

I, myself, have so much bad habits that I would kill to get rid off. I will definitely NOT disclose them because I am ashamed of them :) but I came across an article that helps tackle/sets you in the right path to get rid of those bad habits. Its known that you need to be very strong and have will power, which I lack, to get rid of bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and addictions in general. Well, those are really bad habits but bad habits could be other habits that you see bad in your own eyes like cravings, chewing gum, nail biting..etc. Anyways, those three steps would set you in the right direction to overcoming those habits.

#1) WEAR A RUBBERBAND


when you feel a craving coming on, snap your wrist three times quickly. Scientists and torturers call this negative reinforcement: Craving equals pain. It's akin to smacking yourself on the nose with a newspaper.

#2) POUR YOURSELF A GLASS OF CURE

When it comes to nervous habits, water is your secret weapon. When you feel a craving coming on, chug at least 10 ounces. It's amazing how well this works.

#3) SWITCH SIDES OF THE BED

If you're a consistent habit former, you should overhaul your routines- what time you wake up, what you eat for breakfast, what route you take to work, and so on- every 3 months.
