In this post, you will find successful techniques to motivate yourself to wake up early.

How to motivate yourself to wake up early

Understand WHY you want to wake up early.

Is it to get more done in the day? For example, do you want more time to work on a goal in the morning?

Find the driving force behind WHY waking up early will be worth it for you.

Then put emotion behind your WHY.

Once you understand your WHY, you can start to find more gratitude for the early mornings.

What goal are you trying to accomplish by waking up early? Then, visualize how you will feel once you’ve accomplished that goal.

Put emotion behind the result. Remind yourself constantly that this is what will happen if you get up when you say you will.
