My Journey to Health, Wealth, and Wisdom: Early to Bed, Early to Rise ⏰

How Embracing Mornings Transformed My Life

By Yash GuptaPublished about a year ago 3 min read

For years, I struggled with the constant feeling of being behind, both in my personal and professional life. Late nights were the norm, filled with endless scrolling through social media or binge-watching the latest series . Mornings were a blur, rushed and chaotic, leaving me feeling like I was always playing catch-up . Then, one day, I came across the age-old adage: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." It resonated with me, and I decided to give it a try .

The Big Change

One autumn morning, I set my alarm for 5:30 AM. The night before, I turned off my phone early and went to bed. When the alarm went off, I felt tired, but I got up anyway. As I opened my curtains, the sun was just beginning to rise, casting a warm, golden light across the room. The birds outside were chirping softly, and the world felt fresh and new. I made a cup of coffee and sat down to write, enjoying the peaceful start to my

The First Few Days

The first few days were hard. My body wasn't used to waking up so early, but I kept going. By the end of the first week, I started to enjoy the quiet mornings. The sun would warm my face as I stepped outside for a quick walk, and the sound of birdsong became my morning soundtrack. I used this time to plan my day, exercise, and even read books I never had time for before.

Amazing Results

As time went on, I noticed big changes. I was more organized and had more energy throughout the day. The mornings became my favorite part of the day, a time when the world was still waking up and everything felt possible. I started eating healthier and exercising more. My work improved, and I even had time for hobbies I always wanted to try. My friends and family noticed the difference, and I felt happier and more relaxed.

How It Helped Others

Let me tell you about my friend Sarah. She used to stay up late and struggle in the mornings. Inspired by my changes, she decided to try waking up early too. Within a month, Sarah felt more energized and focused. She started doing yoga in the mornings, with the sun streaming through her windows and the birds singing outside. This morning ritual made her feel calmer and healthier. Her work improved, and she even started a small business selling handmade jewelry.

Tips for Everyone

Whether you're a child, a teenager, or an adult, waking up early can help you too. Here are some tips:

  1. Start Small: Set your alarm just 15 minutes earlier than usual and see how it feels.
  2. Make a Plan: Use the extra time to do something you enjoy, like reading, drawing, or exercising.
  3. Be Consistent: Try to stick to your new routine for at least a week to see the benefits.
  4. Get Enough Sleep: Go to bed earlier so you're not tired in the morning.

Why It Works

Waking up early gives you a quiet time to focus on yourself before the day gets busy. It helps you feel more organized and have more energy. Plus, it's a great way to start the day with a positive mindset. There's something magical about watching the sun rise and hearing the world wake up around you.

Remember: Everyone is different. What works for one person might not work for another. The important thing is to find what works best for you.
