i am a believer in this. I am very spiritual and this is how i choose to start my day. I love having some time just to fus in the morning.

Working on it. Now that we are out for the summer we tend to be over sleeping.

I’m a big slug. Can’t seem to get with it.

I am going to try this because my mornings are always so rushed. I am hoping to have time to do a yoga routine in the AM. Good way to start the day.

I did it!! I woke up 30 minutes earlier than normal. I got ready with no stress, no yelling and got to work with everything including my coffee. I’ve been at work for 4 hours and I am in an excellent mood. I’m going to make a habit out of getting up early from now on because it works!

I am just as guilty as everyone else. I wait until the last possible minute to get up and it’s getting later and later. I forget things at hoe all the time and I’m very aggrevated every morning. I’m also more tired when I sleep later because I use all my energy in that time I’m getting ready. If I just woke up a half hour earlier, I wouldn’t feel rushed and maybe I’d get to work with my coffee instead of leaving it on the counter. I will start this tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be a good day.

I have just finished driving the first leg of the DOC tour and I am resting in my hotel. I am hoping to complete as many challenges as possible while traveling on the road and this one seems like a good one to start with. Tomorrow, I will wake up early enough to go swimming in the pool before I head out on the road again. A few laps should get my ready for the day, right?

I too also have a bad habit of lying in bed until the last minute and end up hurring the whole morning. Stating tomorrow I will start the 30 minues early rise and see what happens.

Help! I am a 1st grade teacher with 2 kids of my own. My husband works really late most nights and doesn’t get home until the kids are in bed. I am trying very hard to make lifestyle changes to boost my energy levels to make it through the day. I gave up caffeine and soda. I have drastically limited sugar intake, increased water and fiber in my diet and began an exercise routine. I still am completely zapped of energy. I already get up at 5:15 to get all 3 of us out the door by 6:30. If I go to bed any earlier, I will never see my husband!

every since I had kids I have been doing this. I was able to go to work when I wanted to because my job was very flexible, now I don’t work away from home very often. I NEVER use an alarm anymore and I feel so much less stressed. My body knows when it is ready to get up!!

After beggin my 5 year old to go to bed, it’s another challenge to get him out of it. I always wait til the last minute to get up myself, whioch makes it a long and difficult task to get him up and conscious by the time i’m ready to throw him in the car, turn back around to get his lunch i forgot, bring him to school, and race to work. I actually started getting up early this morning and I got everything together before waking him up. I got him to school in time for breakfast and got to work before the doctors.

ummm I don’t think I want to wake up 30 min earlier, I already wake up at 4:45 and have to rush rush rush

I have a bad habit of getting out of the bed at the very last possible time to make it to work on time. Which of course means I am can end of late because of any little thing that comes up, and often end up starting my day rushing around. I am going to try and do a 30 minute walk, which will be nice not only for but for my dog. (Now he gets very short morning walks made up for with longs ones at night)

I’m a person who is late to everything! Maybe waking up 30 mins early will actually help me be on time for more things!

I always wake up early, usually 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours earlier than I need. I dont like rushing and I find if I relax and take my time I am in a better mood and since I am a customer service representative I am able to greet people in a friendly manner even though it is 6am and I am working. :)

I didn’t move faster, but during the week I have been getting up 30 minutes earlier, and I do feel less rushed and more productive.

I’ve been trying to take it slower in the morning by relaxing and getting my mind mentally preped for the day before ever getting out of bed. :)

Thanksgiving at home! Woke up with lots of time, talked with my mom, and now im going to start getting ready. Ah… takin it nice and slow :)
