Elf Morning Tribe Practice:

You must do what your ancestors over 10,000 years ago did, as they were in small groups as hunters and gathers way before farming and domesticating animals. Each day, our ancestors had to constantly make themselves better (like your inner tribe self) by running and hunting, just like exercising for us today, and planning for the day ahead.

Today, every single day seems like a huge chore to get out of your comfort zone, but even then, your brain and body will trick you into skipping a workout or a brain exercise for a day or two, then days turn into a week, a month, then years. Think about it, if you work out three times a week and you skipped (due to working late or being lazy and procrastinated), one or two days turn into a week then boom, you’re barely working out at all.

Why You Should Rise Early

  1. You’re More Productive


When it’s early in the morning, it’s hard to be interrupted because most people just don’t like getting up early. No one is going to call you or message you, there aren’t any meetings, and there aren’t e-mails flowing in an out. It’s just pure you time.

Because there are less interruptions in the morning, you’re automatically more productive. You can now focus on the priorities that really move the needle before all the chaos of a normal workday come at you.

  1. Time To Exercise

Staying healthy is one of the most effective things you can do not only to help your personal life, but your work life as well. You feel more energetic, confident and mentally prepared. That means to more efficient work. and there isn’t a lot of time to exercise after 9-5 hours.

Waking up early solves this problem because it gives you the time to exercise.

  1. Breakfast

As a child, I didn’t eat a lot of breakfast unless my mom forced it down my throat. Research shows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but still, most people just don’t have the time to prepare a nice healthy breakfast.  That’s all solved when you wake up early. I personally take 5-10 minutes to prepare ingredients for my glowing green smoothie – it’s very healthy and makes me feel good after I wake up. Oh and it’s easy to make.

  1. To Enjoy Meditation, stretching and the Sunrise

There’s nothing like watching the sky go from dark to light every day. The atmosphere is as serene and it helps prepare you fell for all the chaos that is about to hit you.

Tactics For Rising Early:

Conditioning yourself to rise early isn’t easy. If you try to go from waking up at 8 a.m to 5 a.m, you’re almost guaranteed to fail. Instead, try implementing the following tactics gradually and you’ll get there.

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Take Baby Steps

Start waking up earlier in 30 minute increments. So if you were waking up at 7:30 a.m originally, you’d now be waking up at 7:00 a.m. Then you would gradually move to 6:30 and progress all the way to 5:00.

That’s much more manageable and less daunting.

If you want to take it one step further, you can use this ‘baby step’ methodology, developed by Stanford professor BJ Fogg and apply it to other aspects of your life. It’s a foolproof way to increase your success rate.

  1. Move The Alarm Away From Your Bed

I use my iPhone alarm to wake up in the morning. When I used to have it next to me, it was very easy for me to hit snooze (often snoozing for up to 1 hour). I ended up moving my alarm to the kitchen because I would actually have to rise to turn off the alarm and the water cooler was right there.

This made it a lot easier for me to get up and stay up.

  1. Turn On The Lights Immediately

Another tactic that actually complements having an alarm far from my bed is turning on the lights immediately. When the lights are off, it’s still easy to want to snuggle back into bed. It’s almost too easy.

When you turn on the lights right after turning on the alarm, it helps keep you awake. It’s not a pleasant feeling but after you get over the initial few seconds, you’ll be good to go.

  1. Get Enough Sleep

Your mileage might vary on this, but for me, it’s very important that I get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Any less than that and I’ll begin to feel drained during the day (and want to nap). Albert Einstein was a firm believer in the importance of a good nights sleep and frequently took short naps during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. These power naps were brief, lasting only a few minutes, and he believed they helped him recharge his mind and creativity. So don’t be afraid of taking daily naps. 

Conclusion

Getting up early is hard. But anything worth doing is hard. There’s a reason why Benjamin Franklin felt so strongly about it and why Tim Cook, Kobe Bryant,Wayne Gretzky, Jack Dorsey, Howard Shultz and Robert Iger does it today.  To gain an advantage.

To be able to wake up before your competitors with a clear mind and minimal distractions is a blessing when you have so many different things to tackle.  My recommendation is for you to try this for at least 1 month and record your results. My bet is you’ll end up liking it.
