There's other videos like this but YOURS caught my attention today! After playing pickleball off and on for 6 years, I now know I need to wake up early to improve my skills even more so I can pass it down to the next generation, in hopes of one of the students make it in the Olympics. Currently about 60 countries are playing pickleball; the Olympic committee requires at least 75 countries to consider. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your kind words and gesture. Pickleball is something I wasn't very familiar with, but I truly admire your passion and love for the sport. I sincerely hope you can share your gift with a wider audience and inspire the younger generation ❤️🔥 Cheers to harnessing the power of early mornings!
Summary for me : 1. Have a clear reason. 2. Have a full preparation one night before. 3. Focus on Benefits with visualization. 4. Don't cut down the sleeping hours going to bed is equally important. I really wanted to do this to boost my self esteem.
I LOVE waking up early. I go to bed around 10 and get up around 6. No phone until 9am. Have a cup of warm lemon water, sit outside in the sunrise and then do yoga before having breakfast. It’s a great way to start my day!
@@peacelovejoyandhappiness I personally drink my coffee (decaf) or morning matcha AFTER my warm lemon water. I like to have the water first thing before ingesting anything else😊
@@laurenmcolletti one more question please, do you consume any processed foods or sugars by chance? I feel that these options are the largest culprit to the human diet. Not too mention the bad fats too. Thoughts?
Well said! As a mom of young kids, I’ve been waking up early as a form of self-care. It definitely helps me establish a sense of purpose, control, and peace of mind 😌
Yes, I see alot of older people getting up early, sweeping the yard, walking, jogging, stretching before the day begins. And I think this is a way of cancelling the mind before it gets a hold of you and messes up your day
Thank you for encouragement, I actually wake up naturally 4:30am but thought just something wrong , went back to sleep to get up at 5:45am and I am more tired. Thank you I will just get up now at 4:30pm to do my time with Bible and fun things that I want to focus on :)
Aww, I’m so happy the messages in my video resonated with you! The difference between waking up at 4:30 am and 5:30 am was a mystery to me too, until I learned more about the body clock! ☺️
According to Sanathana Dharma, 4:30 AM is called the Bramha muhurtham that's when the gods are awake and it's said that when a person wakes up at that time and spends time on anything he wants to achieve he will achieve that.
Thank you for sharing that! I didn’t know 4:30 AM had a specific name. Early mornings are definitely something to treasure - they’re a magical time that our ancestors also knew and appreciated 🙏
I dont think you realise how helpful this video is for me... I'm struggling to achieve my goals and no one around me gets it.. They are good loving people but they just dont understand what i am struggling with... Becoming a morning person is the way to go... I will achieve my dreams... No matter what.. Once again Thank you soo much for this video... God bless you
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared ☺️ I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge towards your personal goals and help refresh your morning routine 🌞 No matter what anyone else says, don’t give up!
As a Muslim, our religion has recommended that we wake up early before sunrise to perform the first prayer, which is the fajr prayer, and thank God for the blessings and gratitude. Our Prophet Muhammad also said, (meaning) that waking up early will be blessed and there will be enough time for everything.
Oh yes, early mornings offer a wonderful opportunity for personal reflection and rejuvenation, especially after a restful night's sleep. I typically wake up around 4:00 AM to enjoy some quiet time before work. My morning routine includes activities that help me start the day on a positive note, such as devotion, exercise, and preparing my meals. I also appreciate the cool, refreshing mornings in Jamaica, especially now that the days or so, so hot 🥵, up to 34° C. Thanks to God that I work in an air conditioned environment. As the old Jamaican saying goes, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." There's certainly a lot of truth in that.
Agree. But when in the summer the crazies move the clock one hour behind and the last prayer is at midnight at the first at 4. People need to demand that they stop w summertime. Very unhealthy.
I'm agree that the pain of no change is bigger. I'm in that situation right now. I regreted my last 5 years elevate nothing from myself. This video encourage me to learn something continuously right now.
I’m so glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I believe that, in some ways, our lives need to reach a certain point before we’re ready to make a change. I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge on your morning journey! 🌞
I love your content . Since I watched your vlog last week I was encouraged to wake up at 4:30 am. Today is my 10th day🎉. Been struggling at the 1st week but I thank the Lord he is giving me the will power to do it. You are right when u said you should have reason or your big why for waking up at 4:30 am. Hope you make more content of self improvement. God bless u more ❤
Wow! I’m so glad you found value in the tips I shared ☺️. Comments and blessings like yours truly lift my spirit. I pray that you continue to find peace and strength in your morning journey 🌞💖
Thank you so much for sharing this video. All other videos of waking up at 4:30am were done by people who don’t have children yet.. your video was so helpful and relatable to me as I am also a mother.. waking up early would mean so much to me, to get a moment of peace and quiet, to achieve my personal goals in life.. I can never sit and do my personal works with a peaceful mindset with my little toddlers wreaking havoc at home throughout the day. 😄
As a fellow mom of young kids, I completely understand! Waking up early in the morning became a form of self-care for me. When the kids are very young and not sleeping through the night, waking up early might not be possible. But as they grow older and establish regular routines, like going to preschool, I felt it was the right time to reclaim my identity-not just as a mother, but as myself. I'm rooting for you, your family, and your goals! 🙏
Likewise. When I started to intentionally wake up early for me to take a walk/jog, it gave me a sense of freedom and boost of energy. I am a first time mom, and my toddler is really at the stage of being "clingy," and setting aside time for myself is really important. I am both a mom and an architect, and both are really time consuming. 😅😅😅
@@amihandecastro9139 It sounds like, even as a first-time mom, you're doing an amazing job taking care of yourself and your family! Way to go, fellow mama! 💪 P.S. I worked at an architectural company for a while, so I understand how meticulous your job can be!
Fellow mom here, totally agree! My personal work goals have totally been hampered with lack of time and I keep trying to wake up early but these little guys need me in the night too 😫 hoping to get this early morning thing going
Amazing. I have been sleeping 9:30 to 5 for years (I am 58) and have thought something was wrong with me and wanted to sleep in a bit longer, especially at the weekend. But, I use my early morning to meditate and go out cycling in the summer (static bike in winter) and have lost weight and improved my fitness. I guess my body clock has adjusted as I am always up by 5 without fail and never set an alarm. I will start to see this as a gift rather than a curse from now on. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's interesting how we sometimes have preconceptions that hinder us from fully appreciating our own gifts and uniqueness. I’m so glad my video offered a gentle nudge toward embracing the freedom to view your body clock in a new light! 💖
I got up today at 5 am. I was so tired and said I won’t do that again I thought it just wasn’t for me but then your video popped up. You have inspired me to give another shot. Thank you I will follow some of your tips.
There is so much wisdom and profound thoughts in this vlog. Not having a compelling reason is exactly the reason I don't want to get up. As soon as you said it I knew that is what I have to work on. I do read scripture for 30 mins but tend to use the Bible app, put on play and then often drop off to sleep. Thank you for this vlog. I will be watching a few times more and developed that compelling reason.
Oh, thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you found value in my video. May you rediscover the power of early mornings to find balance and peace in God’s grace. 🙏
I want back to school and work with math. I have 4 small children 9 , 8 ,5 ,2 yrs . Its so hard to me toget up early but its so easy for me to stay late night. So I am so happy to see u here.
Wow! Four kids! You have my utmost respect-I feel like my hands are full with just two! What a blessing it is! I resonate with what you’ve shared, especially as a busy mom of young kids. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
I love the say you support each of us and share your personal experiences. I think this video is one of the most calming and inspiring at the same time. Thank you
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment-it means so much to me! I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🌞💖
truthfully, eating properly and leading an organized life, helps one feel energized early in the morning. Asians generally eat much better than the rest of us, and that is a huge advantage. Be the Change in your own world everyone! Thank you for this video!
As someone who's trying to establish a better morning routine and waking up at 5am 0:37 this is exactly how it feels! 1. Reason I think my reason would be to have time for myself before the day begins where i can do things while the rest of my family are sleeping. I journal, work out, meditate and learn Korean in that time. Other time in the day would be busy or distracting for all that since i dont have a space of my own. 5:14 this is so on point! When i was trying to wake up early before, since I didn't have a clear schedule of things I wanted to do, the next morning I would snooze my alarm because I didn't remember anything important that would take me out of a comfortable bed 😂 I LOVED your video. Every single point aligns with what I've learned these past 2 months where I've been trying to regain control of my life and grow as a person and a profesional. Thank you!
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I admire your perseverance in analyzing the problem without giving up. I hope my video offered potential solutions and tips to help you achieve your morning goals. You can definitely do it! I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Thank you for this video! I've been waking up at 430am daily too to do household chores & have personal time before heading out to work. This video reinforces the reasons why I love waking up early! Subbed! 😊
Where you were in 2020 is where I’ve been the last couple of years. I don’t have a family, but I hate what I’m doing and reaching deadends looking for something new. Two things I’ve been pursuing slowly is learning Korean (I saw your parallel Bible) and writing. Watching your video made me wonder if God wants me to use this time to build more disciplines in my life. I’m exhausted and watching Netflix at night too. I want to do more for Him and spending morning hours learning new things might be the ticket. I already enjoy reading His Word and praying first thing but otherwise mornings are a stress of getting ready and rushing to the office (where I dread going). Thank you for your encouragement. I need to do something different to have a different outcome than I have now. 감사합니다^^
First of all, I wish to send you a virtual hug. Thank you for opening up and sharing your story so honestly. I admire your passion for God’s Word, and I believe He has incredible plans in store for you. Amen! You are made for so much more, and I pray that through quiet mornings, you’ll feel more in tune with your calling. I know it’s easier said than done, but please don’t give up! 축복합니다! 🙏
Thank you so much for your inspiring video. Emphasizing" the reason or purpose of waking up has to be strong enough to make you want to repeat to do it and repeat the routine" was the missing piece I needed. Thank you.🌺🌺
thank you,your video help me a lot!,seriously... i am a languages learner that learn 3 languages (english,spanish and arabic) but lately i feel so busy,i usually wake up at 6.00 am tbh,my work start at 6.30 until 3.30 pm everyday and i dont have any time for my self at the morning,this video remains me of that❤
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge towards your personal goals and help refresh your morning routine 🌞
I am a miracle morning member... After reading the miracle morning book, it revolutionalized my life. In fact, I opened my TH-cam channel after that encounter... Your WHY is all it takes
Great info. Thank you for sharing. I have been getting up around 4:30am for a year or so now, though I am not always consistent. A few things that have helped me be more consistent recently are: Setting a nightly alarm for about 30 minutes before I plan to be in bed. That way I can prepare and be down with enough time to wind down for sleep. Planning to be in bed with more than enough time to meet my sleep goal. It typically takes anywhere from 20-45 minutes to fall asleep. So, if I am aiming for 8 hours of sleep, I plan to be in bed for 8.5-9 hours. For the longest time I would aim for 8 hours of sleep, but would only allot 8 hours in bed. I would only get about 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Being consistent in my bed and wake up times even on the weekends. I find it harder to wake up early when I am not consistent, especially when I would prefer sleeping in. This is the biggest struggle for me.
Thank you for sharing your genuine story and kind words. I resonate with what you’ve shared. Planning downtime and maintaining a consistent bedtime are crucial for sustaining a healthy and balanced morning routine in the long run. I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🌞💖
thank you for making this video! Follow your instructions, before sleep,I prepared the materials for the coming morning task. And it just worked! After wake up around 5:30am, I walk outside, get exposed to the sun(from other TH-camr’s advice) and buy the breakfast for my family. Before leaving home at 8:30am, I have 2 more hours doing my own business. I also become more confident when I achieve the daily morning wake up goal. Thanks again for your sharing! The best useful wake up videos on the TH-cam❤
Aww, your kind message truly touched my heart and uplifted my spirit. Cheers to your dedication in applying these tips to your life! I sincerely hope you continue to pursue and achieve your goals and dreams through the quietly powerful early mornings ❤️🔥 Thank you for your lovely comment!
I really love your video, Im moslem from Indonesia, many moslems are having hard time to wake up early to do morning prayer (shubuh), but actually that our obligation. And morning time is full of goodness (berkah) based on our religion. So, im moslem and i really want to be like you as a morning person. Thank you so much for the tips.
Excellent idea about moving to a different room. Writing everything down with some detail on my calendar the night before. And preparing my Bible,Devotionals, Journals, and crafting supplies too. Yes! I know I can do it! I mean I will try my best!! Thank you!!! You’re AWESOME!!!💯🙏🏻😊⛱️
You are spot on about the exciting reason to wake up early making it much easier. When I was in my 20's, it was having my pre workout first thing and running off to the gym to lift. These days, I'm not sure what goals to set at the gym since I've been doing too long and am not sure what to embark on next. I'll have to do some brainstorming. If anyone sees this and has any ideas or went through something similar, please let me know.
This is the best video for me, l tried so many ways to find a reason why l couldn’t commit in getting up early and you gave me the answer…l need to find the reason why l want to build this new routine ❤thank u so much ❤
This all absolutely matches with my own experiences. I'm a practicing muslim and we have fajr to pray just before sunrise, and after sun rises it is not recommended to sleep for 45 minutes, as this is the time of the day that you start your work and it is an extremely important period to get ahead as it has a lot of barakah. We also have hadith saying we shouldn't stay up too late after praying the isha, which is the evening/night prayer. All this combined, I've experienced a huge amount of peace and efficiency from my days where I go to bed early and wake up early. You also already wake up on your own after a while, at crazy hours like 4,5,6 AM, and you actually feel energized. The only exception to this is when my work schedule affects me, as I have very little time at evenings to actually do everything I need to do before going to bed early. This also showed me how work and economic state of a person can be a strong, very very hard to change cause for their unhealthy lifestyle, so while I'll absolutely stand by the point of waking up early, I also understand not all people will have the means to do so because you'll feel like a machine after a while and evening activities may also be a big temptation. Great video that touched on all the points I've personally experienced as well. 👍
Well said, and I truly appreciate you sharing what resonated with you and your own morning journey🌞 It’s so true that not everyone can afford waking up early every single day-it doesn’t have to be morning to find balance. For example, even for me, when my kids were younger and needed more care throughout the day and night, I couldn’t wake up early at the time. I believe that finding balance and contentment can be unique for each person. My hope is that by sharing my journey, others might discover and establish what works best for their own situation and style. Thank you again for your lovely comment!
This is a Great video Of Course . You mentioned about almost Everything but 30 Minute or 50-60 Minute Nap is the Key Point between 12.00p.m. - 14.00p.m. Everyone is talking about lack of sleep on the comments but it is not , For Example I sleep at 9.00 Pm at wake up at 02.30 A.m. and I Always Sleep 1 Hour nap between 12.00-13.00 , I Mean You could explain the Power of the Power Nap [ 30 minutes or 45-60 Etc ] Thank You !
We, muslim, we have to wake up at dawn (around 4 a.m here in Indonesia) to perform Subuh prayer everyday, masyaallah. 😊 Dawn time is actually a special time because it has many excellence in Islam. Thus, we, muslim, are encouraged to wake up early at dawn to pray Subuh, dzikr, and start the day with positive activities. ❤️
@@jilliananny7154 any prove to support your claim? in islam, it is makrooh to go back to sleep after fajr (dawn) prayer. so yeah, muslims most likely to stay awake untill the sun is fully rise
@@HBlaine I don’t need to prove anything to you. It’s simply a fact. I didn’t say every single Muslim-I’m referring to most of those around me. Whether you believe me or not makes no difference.
This was an inspiring video. I used to wake up at 4am when I was in school, during our exams but it was a chore and I could never recreate that. Having a compelling reason to wake up, and the 'Pain of not making a significant change greater than the pain of waking early' resonated deeply for me. In India the time between 4 - 5am is considered auspicious where I grew up and we were told it was a special time and we can retain more of our studies if we wake up at that time. I am looking forward to being a morning person and I have already a list of things I am excited to do when I wake up early. Thank you for sharing your journey :)
What a beautiful message! My heart is full knowing that so many points in my video resonated with you. I'm thrilled to hear that you're 'excited' to explore your morning journey. I truly appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best on this path! 🌞
This was one of the most helpful morning routine video I’ve watched! Love how down to earth and authentic you are and all of you tips resonated with me. I too found I have more energy and an easier time waking up at 4:30 am than 5 and keept trying to make myself sleep until 5 only to be really grumpy. Now I know why and can stop trying to stay in bed longer and just embrace it!
Thank you for your lovely comment! 💕 I completely understand-there was a time when I thought waking up at 5 a.m. instead of 4:30 a.m. would make me feel more rested. But I found that I often felt even more tired or couldn't wake up at all at 5 a.m. I wish you all the best for your beautiful mornings! 🌞
I'm totally with you! When I didn’t wake up early, I felt like I was always rushing and caught in the repetitive cycle of daily responsibilities😞 I’m rooting for your mornings!
thank you! I like your saying that "you need compelling and specific goal for morning wake up". Tried this morning, getting up at 5:40am, buy the breakfast and work on my slides for 1 hour
Aww, your kind message really touched my heart and stopped me in my tracks today. I think my spirit needed to hear that. Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words 🙏❤️🔥
Can you please make more videos on how to combine work and family, how you structures your day and stay strong and healthy? When I get up at 5 I am soooo tired after 10 and my mood starts to paint everything black eventhough I love the morning peace itself ❤ apreciate a lot that you share ❤
Thank you for your honest comment! I can definitely relate-staying energetic throughout the whole day after waking up early is certainly a different challenge. I’ll be sure to consider the topic of maintaining a healthy, sustainable balance between work, life, and family for future content. Please stay tuned! 🌿
Praise the lord Sister. Thank you so much for wonderful and practical sharing of wake up early. I learnt and gathered much significant insights from your lovely sharing. God bless❤
Thank you! I’m going to do this today. I have insomnia so I often don’t sleep til 5 am. It’s awful, but I’m going to get up, take out puppy for some fun and get some sun on my face. I liked the “prepare the night before” tip best. I have a long list of things I want to accomplish, but ironically, I’ve been a working (and teaching) calligrapher for 35 years. Cheers~
I’m so glad you found value in some of the tips I’ve shared! ☺️ I’ve really noticed that doing some 'mental preparation' the night before makes a huge difference in my productivity. And 35 years of teaching calligraphy?! That’s impressive!! ❤️🔥
That's a great question. It made me think for a while to come up with a helpful answer. 🤔 I believe it’s not easy for anyone to have a 'compelling reason' to wake up right from the beginning, and it can change throughout our life journey. And that’s okay-in fact, it’s perfectly healthy. Finding 'that reason' can be understood as discovering what you love or even who you are. So, I think it's important to take time to reflect on yourself-what you love, what you don’t like, what makes you smile, and what you want to become. Try learning different things, follow your heart, and explore. Sometimes, your reason to wake up doesn’t come automatically, but in the process of learning and exploring, you might find something that gives you purpose. In fact, the process of finding your reason could be your reason to wake up. Consider journaling, reviewing and planning your life or even just your day. I’m not sure if this fully answers your question, but I believe that by asking such a genuine and thoughtful question, you're already on the path to finding your own reason for waking up in the morning. 👍⏰
Thank you so much Ma'am for answering my query. You have answered it perfectly. You have shown a direction. I have also tried to get up early before but failed repeatedly. I will Again give it a try.
I truly appreciate how you've shared your challenging experience in such a relatable and straightforward way. As someone who also values a good start to the day, I find your approach inspiring and am motivated to apply some of these lessons myself. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly-it really resonates!
I appreciate your kind words! 🥰 I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
I am a night owl and love sleeping so my Goal was 8 am, now is 7 am it later will be 6:30 am, until i get to 5 am. the days i noticed i went back to sleep was because 1. i didn't do a plan for the next day so my brain didn't know for what i was waking up early. 2. I skipped a step in my routine. (i turn on the light, brush my teeth and face , stretch, then read the Word and walk the dogs).... i try to do it all quickly cause i want to start my day at 8:30. If i move to sit in another room without my routine, i fall back asleep. and the Lord has been convicting me about my sleeping hours and how i need to wake up early to do all the things i need to do.
I love how in tune you are with God's gentle whispers and how you’ve analyzed yourself to find practical ways to improve your morning routine. I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🙏 You can do it!
Aww, I’m so grateful that you’re feeling good vibes from my videos. Thank you for your kind words, and wishing you many more days filled with positive energy ahead! ❤️🔥
I find your video very relatable. I have seen a couple of other videos by people without kids and a partner. Most of them could go to bed as early as 8 or 9pm and still be able to get up to 8 hours of sleep. This just wasn't going to work for me so I couldn't keep up. I heard you say you go to bed at 10pm after having about 30 minutes of catch up time with your husband and I believe that includes time for intimacy 😊 Honestly, women do a lot trying to juggle being mothers, wives and pursuing their personal interests.
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕! As a mom, I can relate to what you said. It's true that we face extra challenges while juggling so many roles, but I believe that’s what makes us stronger and more efficient. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey and in motherhood 🌞!
Thank you very much for sharing your insights! 😊❤ God bless you for putting HIM before calligraphy. 🤗 I needed to hear this. It will make this venture to be a morning person much easier and worthwhile.
Immediately after waking up is typically when I feel at my worst, physically, mentally and emotionally, so dragging myself out of bed is an ordeal. A few years ago, I did get into the habit of waking between 2-3 AM to have a couple quiet hours alone, but this was mostly fear-motivated. The early schedule was nice in some ways, but I found it stressful to keep up. After a few months, when the weather started getting colder and I started feeling a winter slump in energy and mood, I went back to my normal habits of staying up late to have the night hours to myself. I kind of want to get back to an earlier schedule, but finding a compelling enough reason to wake up is my biggest hurdle.
Thank you so much for sharing your morning journey. 🙏 You’ve highlighted many important and relatable topics, such as our common struggles with anxiety and the added challenge of waking up early during cold, dark winter months. I’d suggest making your morning routine something you can share with others. Some people post their morning routines on social media (simple photos with a timestamp), which can provide feedback and interaction that might be motivating in the beginning. I’m rooting for your mornings! 🙌
TH-cam has sent me a real gem 🤗. This is exactly what I need I have been trying to give myself time for me in the evenings for a while now, things always get in the way , it’s been driving me crazy….. Morning routine time for me 😳 it’s a no brainier but I have never ever thought about it. I’m a start things new on a Monday and tomorrow just happens to be Monday . My time has a start thank you x
I've tried waking up early and fail to do so. It lasted a month before I went back to my waking up habits. Still, I try again and I realize it's most of the time when I feel depressed or sad with no clear sens of the future and it really helps with imroving my mood. I'm not giving up and going to try again, and again, until I make it =) Ps : I am also not a night owl, because I cannot stay up after midnight, so it's clearly more a question of motivation than anything else ^^
Well said! I admire your perseverance in analyzing the problem without giving up. I hope my video offered potential solutions and tips to help you achieve your morning goals. You can definitely do it!
So right I wake up 4:30 to prepare for work and I hate it. 5:30, 6:00 is a sweet spot I feel more energized and happy. I only wake up 4:30 because if my shift work. I really want to stop this shift.
I wake up early every day. I turn on sleep focus at 9pm and sleep at 10pm. I wake up every day at 5am, Get a black coffee and meditate instead of getting breakfast. I eat only at dinner since i am in an OMAD fast for 2 years now. I work as an IT manager by day. I find that turning off my phone notification (sleep focus) greatly helps.
So glad I came across your video. I am one week into changing my sleeping/waking habits and are struggling a bit at the moment with fatique, but I am going to keep on doing it until it becomes normal. I do a 2km brisk walk, and 12 min rebounder session first thing, which helps wake me up. I have also changed my eating schedule, which really helps with my sleep quality. I eat no later than 2pm. This has been inspiring. Thank you.
Wow! I really admire your perseverance! 2 PM sounds like an early cut-off, especially since I try to finish eating before 7 PM. Your endurance is inspiring, and I’m cheering for your healthier lifestyle, starting bright and early! 💪🌞❤️🔥
Thank you for doing this video. I am a home educating mom of 4. We just came back from our family trip to Japan and the Philippines so I have crazy jet lag! But I think I will use this idea of waking up early and sleeping early. I pray that I could do what you shared. My goal is to make a website for our home ed journey and to get into watercolour. Blessings on you as you create meaningful content! ❤🙏🏼
Wow, four kids! You have my utmost respect-I feel like my hands are full with just two! What a blessing! May you discover the power of early mornings to find your balance and peace 💖
I wake at 4:30! It’s amazing how much I can get done before most people wake up. I get up 4:30 feed my cat, pour a coffee and chill, at 5:00 I hop on the treadmill for 30 mins, after that it’s 5:30 and I get a relaxing shower. After my skincare routine it’s about 6am, and then I have an hour before work to eat breakfast, get dressed, and chill. I love mornings
Thank you for sharing your journaling journey! It sounds like you've already been intentional with your morning routine, but I hope my video provided you with some inspiration 💖
This is just what I have needed today! Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful video. I’ve been working to shift my life these past few years and keep getting bogged down in details that ultimately aren’t that essential. Thinking back on the more productive times in my life, it is easy to see only in retrospect that I was essentially doing this set of habits stacked together. Trying to remember what had worked, it was difficult to see that a sequence of thoughts and actions got me going and kept me consistent. Off to create some notes to remind future me the next time I wander away from a helpfully consistent set of habits.
I love that there is someone else who can wake up after 6.5 hours and says it’s ok! I’ve been shaming myself for not being able to get 8 hours of sleep for years! Yay, waking up early is a good thing!! It’s also easy when you’re going through perimenopause! 😅
I’m glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I’ve read that getting 7-9 hours of sleep is recommended, but for now, my schedule seems to work really well with 6.5-7 hours 🌞🌿 Thank you for your lovely comment!
I'm dealing with the perimenopause insomnia issue too. I've been awake since 1am and it's 3:30 am now. I would give anything to have some kind of a semblance of a healthy sleep schedule. I'm at a loss.
@@aquaseahorselove3939 I feel you so much. I’m trying all sorts of remedies right now even progesterone cream is not able to help me. I will circle back when I find one that works!! Wishing you peace during those awake hours in the middle of the night! You are not alone!!
I found out last week that I'm in full menopause at 45yo. I've found that I savor my sleep especially when I know my body needs it for proper recovery every night. About 9 years ago I was waking at 3am every morning and I would use that time to study, journal or work on my website at the time, sometimes until 7am. I've learned how to help ease my peri-menopausal symptoms since Jan this year. I made it a specific goal for me to learn how to regulate my hormonal imbalance through nutrition. I wouldn't say I've cracked the code yet, but I will say I feel so much more rested than I have felt the past 4 years. So maybe I'm on the right track...? Rest for me has been key. Improved nutrition with supplements over the past 6 months has reduced the frequency and intensity of my hot flashes. I take sage (this has worked great for my brain fog!) ginger, Manuka honey, berries, prebiotic foods like yogurt and oats, turmeric (in milk), ashwaganda, DIMM, fish oils, creatine, and recently started increasing my protein intake. Trying to increase my water intake. Reduce processed foods. etc... Strength training has also helped me tremendously but I always take 1-2 rest days after a day of working out (kickboxing and/or kettlebells). Hope you find the rhythm that works best for your body. Start off with a small change then another and another. Perimenopause is no joke!
I find myself in the spot where I feel static in life with no sense of self growth. I loved it when you said the pain of not making any change becomes greater than the pain of waking up. Thank you for the inspiring tips. ❤
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕I'm so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. Let’s keep growing and inspiring each other on our morning journey!
I really like this type of presentation of content smooth and coherent with a very good voice quality I really appreciate the visual effects sound music voice and consise and perfect content
Yes! The lack of a reason to wake up earlier is exactly why it doesn't stick for me. I love waking up early for the airport or for an activity that other people are expecting me for. It's exciting and energizing that way - I'm trying to brainstorm ways that I can do that for myself everyday.
Brilliant! It's fascinating how our mind influences our body's reactions. Experimenting and finding ways to get our brain excited for our airport trips is definitely key! ❤️🔥
I have to get back doing "SAVERS" Scriptures reading, Affirmations, Vision board(goals), Exercise, Reading & Scriping(journaling). Which has brought me to Liz's channel😊 & hopefully get me back on track in last quarter of the year.
@@FlourishedHope I had to kinda up it 6:30 because I been sleeping late but I will try probably 5 again tomorrow just want to make sure I get enough rest.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It was a great watch, very informative and you touched on exactly what has been holding me back. I feel like you made this video just for me. Thank you so much.
I wake up at 330 am. I live in Downey California which I had to work in Jeffersonville indiana , Mishawaka indiana and elkhart indiana 12 years which I am automation tech. Since, I returned to California , i start work at 4am which we are three hours behind. I get so much stuff done in morning that it’s priceless. I love it. I also surf on weekends and I also enjoy reading in morning..
You have explained well with the personal stories and examples. Also, you look lovely throughout the video. I am struggling to wake up early...I used to wake up last year and then took up a course that messed up with my past routine...trying to get back again.
I'm glad you liked the video and that the tips resonated with you! I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🌞 May you discover the power of early mornings to find your balance and peace 🙏 You can do it!
I am inspired to try this time as you did...once and for all ! because is bigger the pain if I don't make a significant change in my present ❤...thanks!!
I have a 24 hour gym. Can't wait to get up at 4am to work out before starting my 6am shift at work. Giving up coffee has helped me to sleep better and wale up more refreshed
There's other videos like this but YOURS caught my attention today! After playing pickleball off and on for 6 years, I now know I need to wake up early to improve my skills even more so I can pass it down to the next generation, in hopes of one of the students make it in the Olympics. Currently about 60 countries are playing pickleball; the Olympic committee requires at least 75 countries to consider. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your kind words and gesture. Pickleball is something I wasn't very familiar with, but I truly admire your passion and love for the sport. I sincerely hope you can share your gift with a wider audience and inspire the younger generation ❤️🔥 Cheers to harnessing the power of early mornings!
Summary for me : 1. Have a clear reason.
2. Have a full preparation one night before.
3. Focus on Benefits with visualization.
4. Don't cut down the sleeping hours going to bed is equally important.
I really wanted to do this to boost my self esteem.
Beautifully summarized! I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to discover the power of early mornings to find your balance and peace 🌞
It hit me when you said, "Sometimes, it's easier to make a hard decision when there are no other choices." Thank you for such an inspiring video.
ㅜ😮
Same thing here 😊
💯😇
I LOVE waking up early. I go to bed around 10 and get up around 6. No phone until 9am. Have a cup of warm lemon water, sit outside in the sunrise and then do yoga before having breakfast. It’s a great way to start my day!
Your comment painted a beautiful picture in my mind. Let’s continue to savor our precious morning times! 🌞💖🌿
Lauren, do you drink coffee later on after your hot water with lemon? 🍋
@@peacelovejoyandhappiness I personally drink my coffee (decaf) or morning matcha AFTER my warm lemon water. I like to have the water first thing before ingesting anything else😊
@@laurenmcolletti thank you for your help. I’m going to get into a similar routine. I want to cleanse my body first thing with the 💦 and 🍋.
@@laurenmcolletti one more question please, do you consume any processed foods or sugars by chance? I feel that these options are the largest culprit to the human diet. Not too mention the bad fats too. Thoughts?
I think it is really good for depression and anxiety , to get up early , it gives you a little sense of achievement ,
Well said! As a mom of young kids, I’ve been waking up early as a form of self-care. It definitely helps me establish a sense of purpose, control, and peace of mind 😌
Never thought of that before, thx.
Yes, I see alot of older people getting up early, sweeping the yard, walking, jogging, stretching before the day begins. And I think this is a way of cancelling the mind before it gets a hold of you and messes up your day
Add on the cold plunge and you will achieve nirvana
Thank you for encouragement, I actually wake up naturally 4:30am but thought just something wrong , went back to sleep to get up at 5:45am and I am more tired. Thank you I will just get up now at 4:30pm to do my time with Bible and fun things that I want to focus on :)
Aww, I’m so happy the messages in my video resonated with you! The difference between waking up at 4:30 am and 5:30 am was a mystery to me too, until I learned more about the body clock! ☺️
According to Sanathana Dharma, 4:30 AM is called the Bramha muhurtham that's when the gods are awake and it's said that when a person wakes up at that time and spends time on anything he wants to achieve he will achieve that.
Thank you for sharing that! I didn’t know 4:30 AM had a specific name. Early mornings are definitely something to treasure - they’re a magical time that our ancestors also knew and appreciated 🙏
Yes, this is beauty of sanathana dharma whenever I woke up at4:30 am or 3:00 am I thank prabhu for wake up me early.
I dont think you realise how helpful this video is for me... I'm struggling to achieve my goals and no one around me gets it.. They are good loving people but they just dont understand what i am struggling with... Becoming a morning person is the way to go... I will achieve my dreams... No matter what.. Once again Thank you soo much for this video... God bless you
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared ☺️ I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge towards your personal goals and help refresh your morning routine 🌞 No matter what anyone else says, don’t give up!
As a Muslim, our religion has recommended that we wake up early before sunrise to perform the first prayer, which is the fajr prayer, and thank God for the blessings and gratitude. Our Prophet Muhammad also said, (meaning) that waking up early will be blessed and there will be enough time for everything.
البركة في البكور👍
I resonate with how waking up early can create such powerful and productive extra time in our limited 24 hours. Thank you for your lovely comment 🙏
In Spanish we have this quote: “Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda”, is básicamente the same principle, pues madrugar es levantarse antes del alba
Oh yes, early mornings offer a wonderful opportunity for personal reflection and rejuvenation, especially after a restful night's sleep. I typically wake up around 4:00 AM to enjoy some quiet time before work. My morning routine includes activities that help me start the day on a positive note, such as devotion, exercise, and preparing my meals. I also appreciate the cool, refreshing mornings in Jamaica, especially now that the days or so, so hot 🥵, up to 34° C. Thanks to God that I work in an air conditioned environment. As the old Jamaican saying goes, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." There's certainly a lot of truth in that.
Agree. But when in the summer the crazies move the clock one hour behind and the last prayer is at midnight at the first at 4. People need to demand that they stop w summertime. Very unhealthy.
I'm agree that the pain of no change is bigger. I'm in that situation right now. I regreted my last 5 years elevate nothing from myself. This video encourage me to learn something continuously right now.
I’m so glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I believe that, in some ways, our lives need to reach a certain point before we’re ready to make a change. I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge on your morning journey! 🌞
I love your content . Since I watched your vlog last week I was encouraged to wake up at 4:30 am. Today is my 10th day🎉. Been struggling at the 1st week but I thank the Lord he is giving me the will power to do it. You are right when u said you should have reason or your big why for waking up at 4:30 am. Hope you make more content of self improvement. God bless u more ❤
Wow! I’m so glad you found value in the tips I shared ☺️. Comments and blessings like yours truly lift my spirit. I pray that you continue to find peace and strength in your morning journey 🌞💖
This is by far the most honest and unique video about waking up early I have come across.
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🌞
Thank you so much for sharing this video. All other videos of waking up at 4:30am were done by people who don’t have children yet.. your video was so helpful and relatable to me as I am also a mother.. waking up early would mean so much to me, to get a moment of peace and quiet, to achieve my personal goals in life.. I can never sit and do my personal works with a peaceful mindset with my little toddlers wreaking havoc at home throughout the day. 😄
As a fellow mom of young kids, I completely understand! Waking up early in the morning became a form of self-care for me. When the kids are very young and not sleeping through the night, waking up early might not be possible. But as they grow older and establish regular routines, like going to preschool, I felt it was the right time to reclaim my identity-not just as a mother, but as myself. I'm rooting for you, your family, and your goals! 🙏
Likewise. When I started to intentionally wake up early for me to take a walk/jog, it gave me a sense of freedom and boost of energy. I am a first time mom, and my toddler is really at the stage of being "clingy," and setting aside time for myself is really important. I am both a mom and an architect, and both are really time consuming. 😅😅😅
@@amihandecastro9139 It sounds like, even as a first-time mom, you're doing an amazing job taking care of yourself and your family! Way to go, fellow mama! 💪 P.S. I worked at an architectural company for a while, so I understand how meticulous your job can be!
Fellow mom here, totally agree! My personal work goals have totally been hampered with lack of time and I keep trying to wake up early but these little guys need me in the night too 😫 hoping to get this early morning thing going
@6:40 JadyA. Homeschooling timetable had so much with 5 children
Amazing. I have been sleeping 9:30 to 5 for years (I am 58) and have thought something was wrong with me and wanted to sleep in a bit longer, especially at the weekend.
But, I use my early morning to meditate and go out cycling in the summer (static bike in winter) and have lost weight and improved my fitness.
I guess my body clock has adjusted as I am always up by 5 without fail and never set an alarm.
I will start to see this as a gift rather than a curse from now on. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's interesting how we sometimes have preconceptions that hinder us from fully appreciating our own gifts and uniqueness. I’m so glad my video offered a gentle nudge toward embracing the freedom to view your body clock in a new light! 💖
As a Muslim it’s a must to wake up between 4 and 5:30 to pray Tahajjud and our first prayer called Fajr… Thank you
Alhudulillah ❤
I got up today at 5 am. I was so tired and said I won’t do that again I thought it just wasn’t for me but then your video popped up. You have inspired me to give another shot. Thank you I will follow some of your tips.
Oh, I am glad the video popped up in the right timing! I hope you found practical tips in the video for your morning journey 🌞
I mean, this type of content needs to be promoted more. Helpful and informative ❤
aww, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found helpful tips in the video for your morning journey 🌞
There is so much wisdom and profound thoughts in this vlog. Not having a compelling reason is exactly the reason I don't want to get up. As soon as you said it I knew that is what I have to work on.
I do read scripture for 30 mins but tend to use the Bible app, put on play and then often drop off to sleep.
Thank you for this vlog. I will be watching a few times more and developed that compelling reason.
Oh, thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you found value in my video. May you rediscover the power of early mornings to find balance and peace in God’s grace. 🙏
I want back to school and work with math. I have 4 small children 9 , 8 ,5 ,2 yrs . Its so hard to me toget up early but its so easy for me to stay late night. So I am so happy to see u here.
Wow! Four kids! You have my utmost respect-I feel like my hands are full with just two! What a blessing it is! I resonate with what you’ve shared, especially as a busy mom of young kids. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞

truthfully, eating properly and leading an organized life, helps one feel energized early in the morning. Asians generally eat much better than the rest of us, and that is a huge advantage. Be the Change in your own world everyone! Thank you for this video!
Your comment made me appreciate my Asian background even more. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words 💕
As someone who's trying to establish a better morning routine and waking up at 5am 0:37 this is exactly how it feels!
1. Reason
I think my reason would be to have time for myself before the day begins where i can do things while the rest of my family are sleeping. I journal, work out, meditate and learn Korean in that time. Other time in the day would be busy or distracting for all that since i dont have a space of my own.
5:14 this is so on point! When i was trying to wake up early before, since I didn't have a clear schedule of things I wanted to do, the next morning I would snooze my alarm because I didn't remember anything important that would take me out of a comfortable bed 😂
I LOVED your video. Every single point aligns with what I've learned these past 2 months where I've been trying to regain control of my life and grow as a person and a profesional. Thank you!
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I admire your perseverance in analyzing the problem without giving up. I hope my video offered potential solutions and tips to help you achieve your morning goals. You can definitely do it! I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
@@FlourishedHope Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I've been waking up at 430am daily too to do household chores & have personal time before heading out to work. This video reinforces the reasons why I love waking up early! Subbed! 😊
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Where you were in 2020 is where I’ve been the last couple of years. I don’t have a family, but I hate what I’m doing and reaching deadends looking for something new. Two things I’ve been pursuing slowly is learning Korean (I saw your parallel Bible) and writing. Watching your video made me wonder if God wants me to use this time to build more disciplines in my life. I’m exhausted and watching Netflix at night too. I want to do more for Him and spending morning hours learning new things might be the ticket. I already enjoy reading His Word and praying first thing but otherwise mornings are a stress of getting ready and rushing to the office (where I dread going). Thank you for your encouragement. I need to do something different to have a different outcome than I have now. 감사합니다^^
First of all, I wish to send you a virtual hug. Thank you for opening up and sharing your story so honestly. I admire your passion for God’s Word, and I believe He has incredible plans in store for you. Amen! You are made for so much more, and I pray that through quiet mornings, you’ll feel more in tune with your calling. I know it’s easier said than done, but please don’t give up! 축복합니다! 🙏
Thank you so much for your inspiring video. Emphasizing" the reason or purpose of waking up has to be strong enough to make you want to repeat to do it and repeat the routine" was the missing piece I needed. Thank you.🌺🌺
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Great video! Very helpful. One thing I love about the mornings is the lack of interruptions from phone calls, people knocking on the door, etc.
thank you,your video help me a lot!,seriously... i am a languages learner that learn 3 languages (english,spanish and arabic) but lately i feel so busy,i usually wake up at 6.00 am tbh,my work start at 6.30 until 3.30 pm everyday and i dont have any time for my self at the morning,this video remains me of that❤
wow that's awesome

Great info. Thank you for sharing. I have been getting up around 4:30am for a year or so now, though I am not always consistent. A few things that have helped me be more consistent recently are:
Setting a nightly alarm for about 30 minutes before I plan to be in bed. That way I can prepare and be down with enough time to wind down for sleep.
Planning to be in bed with more than enough time to meet my sleep goal. It typically takes anywhere from 20-45 minutes to fall asleep. So, if I am aiming for 8 hours of sleep, I plan to be in bed for 8.5-9 hours. For the longest time I would aim for 8 hours of sleep, but would only allot 8 hours in bed. I would only get about 6 to 7 hours of sleep.
Being consistent in my bed and wake up times even on the weekends. I find it harder to wake up early when I am not consistent, especially when I would prefer sleeping in. This is the biggest struggle for me.
Thank you for sharing your genuine story and kind words. I resonate with what you’ve shared. Planning downtime and maintaining a consistent bedtime are crucial for sustaining a healthy and balanced morning routine in the long run. I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🌞💖
Praise the Lord! this is what I needed!!! Blessings!

thank you for making this video! Follow your instructions, before sleep,I prepared the materials for the coming morning task. And it just worked! After wake up around 5:30am, I walk outside, get exposed to the sun(from other TH-camr’s advice) and buy the breakfast for my family. Before leaving home at 8:30am, I have 2 more hours doing my own business. I also become more confident when I achieve the daily morning wake up goal. Thanks again for your sharing! The best useful wake up videos on the TH-cam❤

I really love your video, Im moslem from Indonesia, many moslems are having hard time to wake up early to do morning prayer (shubuh), but actually that our obligation. And morning time is full of goodness (berkah) based on our religion. So, im moslem and i really want to be like you as a morning person. Thank you so much for the tips.
Excellent idea about moving to a different room. Writing everything down with some detail on my calendar the night before. And preparing my Bible,Devotionals, Journals, and crafting supplies too. Yes! I know I can do it! I mean I will try my best!! Thank you!!! You’re AWESOME!!!💯🙏🏻😊⛱️
Aww, I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey! 🌞 Yes, you can do it!! 💪
Yay! Fellow Christian here 👋 sis
You are spot on about the exciting reason to wake up early making it much easier. When I was in my 20's, it was having my pre workout first thing and running off to the gym to lift. These days, I'm not sure what goals to set at the gym since I've been doing too long and am not sure what to embark on next. I'll have to do some brainstorming. If anyone sees this and has any ideas or went through something similar, please let me know.
This is the best video for me, l tried so many ways to find a reason why l couldn’t commit in getting up early and you gave me the answer…l need to find the reason why l want to build this new routine ❤thank u so much ❤
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
This all absolutely matches with my own experiences. I'm a practicing muslim and we have fajr to pray just before sunrise, and after sun rises it is not recommended to sleep for 45 minutes, as this is the time of the day that you start your work and it is an extremely important period to get ahead as it has a lot of barakah. We also have hadith saying we shouldn't stay up too late after praying the isha, which is the evening/night prayer. All this combined, I've experienced a huge amount of peace and efficiency from my days where I go to bed early and wake up early. You also already wake up on your own after a while, at crazy hours like 4,5,6 AM, and you actually feel energized. The only exception to this is when my work schedule affects me, as I have very little time at evenings to actually do everything I need to do before going to bed early. This also showed me how work and economic state of a person can be a strong, very very hard to change cause for their unhealthy lifestyle, so while I'll absolutely stand by the point of waking up early, I also understand not all people will have the means to do so because you'll feel like a machine after a while and evening activities may also be a big temptation. Great video that touched on all the points I've personally experienced as well. 👍
Well said, and I truly appreciate you sharing what resonated with you and your own morning journey🌞 It’s so true that not everyone can afford waking up early every single day-it doesn’t have to be morning to find balance. For example, even for me, when my kids were younger and needed more care throughout the day and night, I couldn’t wake up early at the time. I believe that finding balance and contentment can be unique for each person. My hope is that by sharing my journey, others might discover and establish what works best for their own situation and style. Thank you again for your lovely comment!
This is a Great video Of Course .
You mentioned about almost Everything but 30 Minute or 50-60 Minute Nap is the Key Point between 12.00p.m. - 14.00p.m. Everyone is talking about lack of sleep on the comments but it is not , For Example I sleep at 9.00 Pm at wake up at 02.30 A.m. and I Always Sleep 1 Hour nap between 12.00-13.00 , I Mean You could explain the Power of the Power Nap [ 30 minutes or 45-60 Etc ] Thank You !
This is one of the best videos I have watched this week.
We, muslim, we have to wake up at dawn (around 4 a.m here in Indonesia) to perform Subuh prayer everyday, masyaallah. 😊
Dawn time is actually a special time because it has many excellence in Islam. Thus, we, muslim, are encouraged to wake up early at dawn to pray Subuh, dzikr, and start the day with positive activities. ❤️
after the prayer most muslim go back to the bed😂
@@jilliananny7154 any prove to support your claim? in islam, it is makrooh to go back to sleep after fajr (dawn) prayer. so yeah, muslims most likely to stay awake untill the sun is fully rise
@@HBlaine I don’t need to prove anything to you. It’s simply a fact. I didn’t say every single Muslim-I’m referring to most of those around me. Whether you believe me or not makes no difference.
This was an inspiring video. I used to wake up at 4am when I was in school, during our exams but it was a chore and I could never recreate that. Having a compelling reason to wake up, and the 'Pain of not making a significant change greater than the pain of waking early' resonated deeply for me. In India the time between 4 - 5am is considered auspicious where I grew up and we were told it was a special time and we can retain more of our studies if we wake up at that time. I am looking forward to being a morning person and I have already a list of things I am excited to do when I wake up early. Thank you for sharing your journey :)
What a beautiful message! My heart is full knowing that so many points in my video resonated with you. I'm thrilled to hear that you're 'excited' to explore your morning journey. I truly appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best on this path! 🌞

This was one of the most helpful morning routine video I’ve watched! Love how down to earth and authentic you are and all of you tips resonated with me. I too found I have more energy and an easier time waking up at 4:30 am than 5 and keept trying to make myself sleep until 5 only to be really grumpy. Now I know why and can stop trying to stay in bed longer and just embrace it!
Thank you for your lovely comment! 💕 I completely understand-there was a time when I thought waking up at 5 a.m. instead of 4:30 a.m. would make me feel more rested. But I found that I often felt even more tired or couldn't wake up at all at 5 a.m. I wish you all the best for your beautiful mornings! 🌞
Almost gave up on the idea of waking up early but this is just the motivation I needed will try again
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Your story about finding peace in early mornings is so inspiring! Makes me want to give my snooze button a break. 😅

I wanted to have slow mornings, maybe this should be my motivation to wake up earlier
I'm totally with you! When I didn’t wake up early, I felt like I was always rushing and caught in the repetitive cycle of daily responsibilities😞 I’m rooting for your mornings!
thank you! I like your saying that "you need compelling and specific goal for morning wake up". Tried this morning, getting up at 5:40am, buy the breakfast and work on my slides for 1 hour
I’m so glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey! 🌞

Aww, your kind message really touched my heart and stopped me in my tracks today. I think my spirit needed to hear that. Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words 🙏❤️🔥
Can you please make more videos on how to combine work and family, how you structures your day and stay strong and healthy?
When I get up at 5 I am soooo tired after 10 and my mood starts to paint everything black eventhough I love the morning peace itself ❤ apreciate a lot that you share ❤
Thank you for your honest comment! I can definitely relate-staying energetic throughout the whole day after waking up early is certainly a different challenge. I’ll be sure to consider the topic of maintaining a healthy, sustainable balance between work, life, and family for future content. Please stay tuned! 🌿
Praise the lord Sister. Thank you so much for wonderful and practical sharing of wake up early. I learnt and gathered much significant insights from your lovely sharing. God bless❤
aww Thank you so much for your kind words and blessings 🙏💖
Thank you! I’m going to do this today. I have insomnia so I often don’t sleep til 5 am. It’s awful, but I’m going to get up, take out puppy for some fun and get some sun on my face. I liked the “prepare the night before” tip best.
I have a long list of things I want to accomplish, but ironically, I’ve been a working (and teaching) calligrapher for 35 years. Cheers~
I’m so glad you found value in some of the tips I’ve shared! ☺️ I’ve really noticed that doing some 'mental preparation' the night before makes a huge difference in my productivity. And 35 years of teaching calligraphy?! That’s impressive!! ❤️🔥
You need a good sleep schedule Have you ever thought of taking cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia or meds. 5am is wild!
Very well explained... Ma'am, please tell me what should I do if I don't have any compelling reason to get up early and still want to get up early.
That's a great question. It made me think for a while to come up with a helpful answer. 🤔
I believe it’s not easy for anyone to have a 'compelling reason' to wake up right from the beginning, and it can change throughout our life journey. And that’s okay-in fact, it’s perfectly healthy.
Finding 'that reason' can be understood as discovering what you love or even who you are. So, I think it's important to take time to reflect on yourself-what you love, what you don’t like, what makes you smile, and what you want to become.
Try learning different things, follow your heart, and explore. Sometimes, your reason to wake up doesn’t come automatically, but in the process of learning and exploring, you might find something that gives you purpose. In fact, the process of finding your reason could be your reason to wake up.
Consider journaling, reviewing and planning your life or even just your day.
I’m not sure if this fully answers your question, but I believe that by asking such a genuine and thoughtful question, you're already on the path to finding your own reason for waking up in the morning. 👍⏰
Thank you so much Ma'am for answering my query. You have answered it perfectly. You have shown a direction. I have also tried to get up early before but failed repeatedly. I will Again give it a try.
D
you're reason is unrealized to your conscious. Your soul knows and it manifests as your want to get up early.
When I don't have reason, I woke up and see youtubes so that I keep engaged and do not sleep. It works
Thank you, I am glad I found your channel. Praise the Lord; may the Word of God that you read guide you and your family.
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words and blessings 🙏💖
Hello from Wisconsin, fellow Christian!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏💖
I truly appreciate how you've shared your challenging experience in such a relatable and straightforward way. As someone who also values a good start to the day, I find your approach inspiring and am motivated to apply some of these lessons myself. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly-it really resonates!
I appreciate your kind words! 🥰 I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Hi, I too wake up at 04:00 AM and study/meditate. Love from India.
This has to be the most helpful video I've ever watched online. Thank you❤
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! ☺️
I am a night owl and love sleeping so my Goal was 8 am, now is 7 am it later will be 6:30 am, until i get to 5 am.
the days i noticed i went back to sleep was because 1. i didn't do a plan for the next day so my brain didn't know for what i was waking up early. 2. I skipped a step in my routine. (i turn on the light, brush my teeth and face , stretch, then read the Word and walk the dogs).... i try to do it all quickly cause i want to start my day at 8:30.
If i move to sit in another room without my routine, i fall back asleep. and the Lord has been convicting me about my sleeping hours and how i need to wake up early to do all the things i need to do.
I love how in tune you are with God's gentle whispers and how you’ve analyzed yourself to find practical ways to improve your morning routine. I hope you found some helpful tips in the video to brighten your day and set a positive tone! 🙏 You can do it!
Hello Liz! New sub here. I am saving this vid under my "dopamine" playlist. I really like the neurotransmission I'm getting from your vids😊
Aww, I’m so grateful that you’re feeling good vibes from my videos. Thank you for your kind words, and wishing you many more days filled with positive energy ahead! ❤️🔥
I find your video very relatable. I have seen a couple of other videos by people without kids and a partner. Most of them could go to bed as early as 8 or 9pm and still be able to get up to 8 hours of sleep. This just wasn't going to work for me so I couldn't keep up. I heard you say you go to bed at 10pm after having about 30 minutes of catch up time with your husband and I believe that includes time for intimacy 😊
Honestly, women do a lot trying to juggle being mothers, wives and pursuing their personal interests.
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕! As a mom, I can relate to what you said. It's true that we face extra challenges while juggling so many roles, but I believe that’s what makes us stronger and more efficient. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey and in motherhood 🌞!
Thank you very much for sharing your insights! 😊❤ God bless you for putting HIM before calligraphy. 🤗 I needed to hear this. It will make this venture to be a morning person much easier and worthwhile.
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found helpful tips in the video for your morning journey 🙏🌞
Immediately after waking up is typically when I feel at my worst, physically, mentally and emotionally, so dragging myself out of bed is an ordeal. A few years ago, I did get into the habit of waking between 2-3 AM to have a couple quiet hours alone, but this was mostly fear-motivated. The early schedule was nice in some ways, but I found it stressful to keep up. After a few months, when the weather started getting colder and I started feeling a winter slump in energy and mood, I went back to my normal habits of staying up late to have the night hours to myself.
I kind of want to get back to an earlier schedule, but finding a compelling enough reason to wake up is my biggest hurdle.
Thank you so much for sharing your morning journey. 🙏 You’ve highlighted many important and relatable topics, such as our common struggles with anxiety and the added challenge of waking up early during cold, dark winter months. I’d suggest making your morning routine something you can share with others. Some people post their morning routines on social media (simple photos with a timestamp), which can provide feedback and interaction that might be motivating in the beginning. I’m rooting for your mornings! 🙌
Some of us are night owls and it’s okay . Our circadian rhythms are different.
Also look into autism and ADHD
Thank you very much! God bless you!
TH-cam has sent me a real gem 🤗.
This is exactly what I need I have been trying to give myself time for me in the evenings for a while now, things always get in the way , it’s been driving me crazy…..
Morning routine time for me 😳 it’s a no brainier but I have never ever thought about it.
I’m a start things new on a Monday and tomorrow just happens to be Monday .
My time has a start thank you x
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
@@FlourishedHope I started today 5 am I achieved so much organised my morning routine for my first week of me time . Thanks so much for your reply. X
In Hinduism this time is called Brahma Muhurt..
And its very suitable for yog and pranayam practice
Oh, u have good access and the way you talk is really easy to listen and understand
I appreciate your kind words, and I'm glad you found the video easy to follow! ☺️
I've tried waking up early and fail to do so. It lasted a month before I went back to my waking up habits. Still, I try again and I realize it's most of the time when I feel depressed or sad with no clear sens of the future and it really helps with imroving my mood. I'm not giving up and going to try again, and again, until I make it =) Ps : I am also not a night owl, because I cannot stay up after midnight, so it's clearly more a question of motivation than anything else ^^
Well said! I admire your perseverance in analyzing the problem without giving up. I hope my video offered potential solutions and tips to help you achieve your morning goals. You can definitely do it!
I would like to say that 5:30 to 6am is the sweet spot for the morning everything before that is unless and evverything after is too late
So right I wake up 4:30 to prepare for work and I hate it. 5:30, 6:00 is a sweet spot I feel more energized and happy. I only wake up 4:30 because if my shift work. I really want to stop this shift.
@patriciadonaldson7265
I would love to tell u to stop it however because of the economy I guess u know the best 👌
I wake up early every day. I turn on sleep focus at 9pm and sleep at 10pm. I wake up every day at 5am, Get a black coffee and meditate instead of getting breakfast. I eat only at dinner since i am in an OMAD fast for 2 years now. I work as an IT manager by day. I find that turning off my phone notification (sleep focus) greatly helps.
So glad I came across your video. I am one week into changing my sleeping/waking habits and are struggling a bit at the moment with fatique, but I am going to keep on doing it until it becomes normal.
I do a 2km brisk walk, and 12 min rebounder session first thing, which helps wake me up.
I have also changed my eating schedule, which really helps with my sleep quality. I eat no later than 2pm.
This has been inspiring. Thank you.
Wow! I really admire your perseverance! 2 PM sounds like an early cut-off, especially since I try to finish eating before 7 PM. Your endurance is inspiring, and I’m cheering for your healthier lifestyle, starting bright and early! 💪🌞❤️🔥
Thank you for doing this video. I am a home educating mom of 4. We just came back from our family trip to Japan and the Philippines so I have crazy jet lag! But I think I will use this idea of waking up early and sleeping early. I pray that I could do what you shared. My goal is to make a website for our home ed journey and to get into watercolour. Blessings on you as you create meaningful content! ❤🙏🏼
Wow, four kids! You have my utmost respect-I feel like my hands are full with just two! What a blessing! May you discover the power of early mornings to find your balance and peace 💖
I wake at 4:30! It’s amazing how much I can get done before most people wake up. I get up 4:30 feed my cat, pour a coffee and chill, at 5:00 I hop on the treadmill for 30 mins, after that it’s 5:30 and I get a relaxing shower. After my skincare routine it’s about 6am, and then I have an hour before work to eat breakfast, get dressed, and chill.
I love mornings
Thank you for sharing your journaling journey! It sounds like you've already been intentional with your morning routine, but I hope my video provided you with some inspiration 💖
This is just what I have needed today! Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful video. I’ve been working to shift my life these past few years and keep getting bogged down in details that ultimately aren’t that essential. Thinking back on the more productive times in my life, it is easy to see only in retrospect that I was essentially doing this set of habits stacked together. Trying to remember what had worked, it was difficult to see that a sequence of thoughts and actions got me going and kept me consistent. Off to create some notes to remind future me the next time I wander away from a helpfully consistent set of habits.
I love that there is someone else who can wake up after 6.5 hours and says it’s ok! I’ve been shaming myself for not being able to get 8 hours of sleep for years! Yay, waking up early is a good thing!! It’s also easy when you’re going through perimenopause! 😅
I’m glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I’ve read that getting 7-9 hours of sleep is recommended, but for now, my schedule seems to work really well with 6.5-7 hours 🌞🌿 Thank you for your lovely comment!
I'm dealing with the perimenopause insomnia issue too. I've been awake since 1am and it's 3:30 am now. I would give anything to have some kind of a semblance of a healthy sleep schedule. I'm at a loss.
@@aquaseahorselove3939 I feel you so much. I’m trying all sorts of remedies right now even progesterone cream is not able to help me. I will circle back when I find one that works!! Wishing you peace during those awake hours in the middle of the night! You are not alone!!

I found out last week that I'm in full menopause at 45yo. I've found that I savor my sleep especially when I know my body needs it for proper recovery every night. About 9 years ago I was waking at 3am every morning and I would use that time to study, journal or work on my website at the time, sometimes until 7am. I've learned how to help ease my peri-menopausal symptoms since Jan this year. I made it a specific goal for me to learn how to regulate my hormonal imbalance through nutrition. I wouldn't say I've cracked the code yet, but I will say I feel so much more rested than I have felt the past 4 years. So maybe I'm on the right track...?
Rest for me has been key.
Improved nutrition with supplements over the past 6 months has reduced the frequency and intensity of my hot flashes. I take sage (this has worked great for my brain fog!) ginger, Manuka honey, berries, prebiotic foods like yogurt and oats, turmeric (in milk), ashwaganda, DIMM, fish oils, creatine, and recently started increasing my protein intake. Trying to increase my water intake. Reduce processed foods. etc...
Strength training has also helped me tremendously but I always take 1-2 rest days after a day of working out (kickboxing and/or kettlebells).
Hope you find the rhythm that works best for your body. Start off with a small change then another and another. Perimenopause is no joke!
I find myself in the spot where I feel static in life with no sense of self growth. I loved it when you said the pain of not making any change becomes greater than the pain of waking up. Thank you for the inspiring tips. ❤
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕I'm so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. Let’s keep growing and inspiring each other on our morning journey!
Love you from Jordan 🇯🇴 Thank you ❤
Today I woke up at 9 am because I am suffering from depression 😢
Seek Jesus Christ ❤ He will set you free from deprssion. He did it for me❤❤
I really like this type of presentation of content smooth and coherent with a very good voice quality
I really appreciate the visual effects sound music voice and consise and perfect content
Yes! The lack of a reason to wake up earlier is exactly why it doesn't stick for me. I love waking up early for the airport or for an activity that other people are expecting me for. It's exciting and energizing that way - I'm trying to brainstorm ways that I can do that for myself everyday.
Brilliant! It's fascinating how our mind influences our body's reactions. Experimenting and finding ways to get our brain excited for our airport trips is definitely key! ❤️🔥
This is the problem I have, trying to think of a reason to get out of bed that makes me WANT to get out of bed 😕. I’m trying to find ideas…
I have to get back doing "SAVERS" Scriptures reading, Affirmations, Vision board(goals), Exercise, Reading & Scriping(journaling). Which has brought me to Liz's channel😊 & hopefully get me back on track in last quarter of the year.

I wake up at 330 am. I live in Downey California which I had to work in Jeffersonville indiana , Mishawaka indiana and elkhart indiana 12 years which I am automation tech.

Great video, well explained, thanks for sharing. I agree waking up early is a game changer.
I have a 24 hour gym. Can't wait to get up at 4am to work out before starting my 6am shift at work. Giving up coffee has helped me to sleep better and wale up more refreshed
Wow! A 24-hour gym is amazing! I hope you continue to find peace and strength during your early morning workouts! ❤️🔥
