Take care of what is important for you before the chaos of the day wins
Have been writing "be more active" in your NY resolutions for the last 3 years, but never got to it? Want to start your own project, but life always gets in a way?
Morning is perfect for working on what's important, ‘cause:
It is much more consistent
Your willpower is stronger than before or after
The body gets a natural energy spike
Thus, mornings are an ideal time to add a life-changing habit!
The mood matters nothing! Just train your brain to be always excited for work
Sometimes we feel like working. Sometimes we don't. But we can train our brain to anticipate work easier after a morning routine. Just like Pavlov trained his dogs to anticipate food whenever they heard a bell!
People with morning routines say that even if they wake up on the wrong side of the bed, they feel much more energetic and less miserable by the time they finish their rituals.
Repeating the same good things every morning calms your brain, frees resources and let you make better decisions during the day.
Wait, but can't I just use a “21-day rule” to get my habit?
Studies have shown that there is no magic number of days for habits to form. It fully depends on a person and a habit. Some of your habits may take just 10 days, others need long months. But if you use habit science, you have better chances for it to happen rather sooner than later.
