waking up early is the sh*t

you know you can change so much in just a few months pretty much all my life I've never been somebody who wakes up early and now I went off alone on a big step in my journey on my path which was to move out of home I moved to a big city and now I'm pretty much independent right I still have to get in an apartment though but and the thing is I have become somebody who likes to wake up early yesterday I started work at 10:00 in the morning so you would think okay you're

going to you know take your time I mean this is what I would have done it would have I would have like back back to who I've always been I would have gone back and like stayed up till I don't know God knows when probably watch a movie or something maybe even play some video games I don't know play some Counter Strike and just take my time with it cuz I like the night I like staying up late because everybody's asleep already and it's peaceful and I get it and even if I wouldn't have stayed

up that late I would have at least slept till 8 or 9 and not even that long ago this is like a month ago I would wake up 30 minutes before work so I just had to get ready and then I would go straight into my shift and then you know I'd be done with it yet now I'm waking up and I it sounds so petty or so Fimo no it doesn't matter I'm waking up at 5:30 in the morning now pretty much every day at least I'm trying to and even today I mean I

was out uh I was out today like last night you know there was this party from work and stuff and I was out and about you know I had a few drinks which is great I believe everything in moderation is cool uh I even though I mean I wrote down today maybe I might quit alcohol for good but who knows I'll see that still and you know I've been up since 5 520 is yesterday I did that even though I had work and I did not want to go to work like at all do know

and I didn't want to wake up at all and I didn't I hadn't been sleeping very well like I didn't sleep I had nightmares and stuff so my unfortunately my my sleep was like bad and I still went to the gym still did my laundry and all that stuff I just I don't know it feels like it does give you more time you know because sure I mean I can wake up late and go to sleep late but like the rest of the world like we do have like the rest of the world does have

a schedule and your inner clock does it anyways like we humans if we were just outside right cuz we are I mean we are one with nature it's nothing we can't there's nothing that can divide you from nature right you are you're a [ __ ] you're an animal we're an animal we're mammals right anyhow in nature you would wake up around the same time 5:30 or at least when the Sun would rise as well as go to sleep when the sun would go down there was this quote that I read it was about drinking

the water that the deer drinks going to sleep with the with the birds and waking up with the I think it was a different animal I think it was the other way around wake up with the birds or something because the early I mean we've always heard this the early bird gets the prey or something thing right so I don't know it sounds very cliche perhaps yet I do find that waking up early it has given me some sort of power some sort of control where I feel like okay look at me I'm actually doing

this I feel very accomplished because I I and I feel more more than anything the the biggest reason I do it is because I am so peaceful because I have time I've got time for myself I don't need to rush okay I need to work at 10:00 in the morning I just woke up at 5:30 I got time even if I don't get anything done which I do even if I don't get anything done I get to relax because you know I saw this thing the other day I don't really know where it was but

I saw this and I was like man yeah it was about what are blessings or the greatest blessings in life and one of them are was one of them was a slow morning and that was just so profound to me a slow morning just taking your time not having to rush and feeling already stressed out even though you just woken up I also went outside that day and medit actually so yesterday this is what I did I went to the gym I did my laundry I meditated I prayed that was all in the morning and

it was just peaceful it was great yeah obviously I had breakfast and all that yeah you know I think I might take a nap today because you know my sleep schedule I don't want to I I do have to get some a little bit to sleep but you know there are three main things in life that are really bad for you so you need to be careful with them first one is alcohol alcohol we all know it's [ __ ] terrible for you smoking I don't really think I need to get into why alcohol I

don't remember why I just there's a lot of people out there Rich rle um Rich Ro Andrew huberman I mean those are at least two influences from that I really you know they know their [ __ ] at least Andrew huberman most of all when it comes to like the signs aspect and Rich R is so someone who's sober as well as actually the Mark Mark Manson the author of of the subtle art of not giving a [ __ ] he also quit alcohol so you know I'm thinking like oh at least if you don't

believe me or you know the common sense these people that's their job you know um I don't know why I'm pointing towards them because you know I don't think I need to explain why alcohol is bad it's just terrible for you then number two which is probably the biggest and easiest to [ __ ] up it's sleep so I've been starting to take my sleep very [ __ ] seriously and honestly I in my tracker which I will show you here we go so if you go this is my tracker right so in here I

rank down so this is a template that I got from a YouTube video I'll link it down below that you can you can copy that it's just you know you just got to use the tools you you can find anything you know just make it work for you and you can find any tools online nowadays there is no excuse seriously and I mean I I always hear that I'm just like [ __ ] you man like stop being so annoying but like yeah I don't know it's true here you go so this is my trucker

and here you got one column that's sleep right and so I was all these these are all nights that I slept 8 hours and honestly I was like [ __ ] like I was feeling amazing and then the days that I didn't sleep which are few now uh dude I was [ __ ] like that was just like I was [Music] [ __ ] dead [ __ ] I feel [ __ ] like I feel completely shitty there's there's like so many part there's this you need to go and watch this Ted Talk that is

about sleep you will never think of sleep the same ever again so we have alcohol we've got sleep and then there was the third one which was I'm thinking about pornography but that's not you know it's not the one that I mentioned today sugar I'm struggling so hard these days with not eating sugar or at least keeping my hands off of sweet pastry and things like that it's it's terrible it's [ __ ] it's so annoying because we have I work you know I'm a I'm a head Barista and we have pastries of course and

you know you kind of get hungry when you're standing eight hours a day you know and I [ __ ] you not for the past like what a week I think maybe not a week but I've pretty much been just every single day eating something sweet like aat Pat I don't know how to pronounce it very I'm still working on it a chocolate croissant so to speak a [ __ ] Berliner you know these bellina These are uh like donuts filled with Jam or [ __ ] cookie or or a muffin or like anything a

brownie you know it's just like [ __ ] dude I always think to myself man I shouldn't be doing this and I [ __ ] do it and just like [ __ ] you know [ __ ] I had a friend say like yeah okay I would always choose fruit over sweets but if you if you put me like a jar of fruits in the [ __ ] sweet there like it's a hard decision and yeah and I think um we need to I want to I think life is really about you know finding that

sweet spot of like okay I always go for the fruit bowl you know I always eat the fruit I never go for the sweet right and look at me eating a salad right now you know I would never eat salads like months ago like never it's crazy how much progress I've made just for myself anyhow dude I've really put my head down I mean I really am in that where I'm putting my head down and just working because I'm not posting a lot of [ __ ] about this the only thing I'm posting about is

like my journaling and my playing that's [ __ ] nuts oh my god well [ __ ] me so what was I saying again yeah I think in life we need to especially nowadays because we have so many options right we should try to H choose the right thing for you right but obviously if the right thing for you is the cupcake then you're not looking for the right thing what I mean by like what's the right thing for you it's like okay and what's your sport right or what's your exercise type you it doesn't

have to be the gym it can be something else I mean I would obviously always recommend you you lift some weights right but it doesn't have to be or at least the sport we should all play a sport maybe football or uh you can do some tennis or table tennis those are actually really [ __ ] good for you because it activates a certain part in your brain the eye the ey hands coordination what the [ __ ] is it called the coordination at least it activates you know a it has the most amount of

neurons in the brain part in the back underneath anyhow you get to choose which sport you want to do right so anyhow going back in life we need to choose what is the right thing for you what's the right thing and then every now and then when you feel like you deserve to go for the muffin that you feel like okay I am in control here I'm going to go for the muffin because you know sometimes you actually have to fight for yourself I've come to the point where I need to fight myself to go

out and to fight myself to have a muffin to be spontaneous because I can go too far I can try to become too rigid because I'm just I'm scared I'm scared of the I'm scared of what could be and I'm not present I'm not saying I'm not trusting I'm scared of the future I hang around too much in the past so to End Circle here for this video I would say watch for those three things you know and your your acable step after watching this video to me would be go and have a walk go

outside and just have a walk and don't don't make it this thing of like oh I'm going to get amazing results out of this is don't be conscious about how am I feeling how am I feeling just go have a walk you'll thank me later you'll thank yourself later actually so yeah have a good one
