When you happen to wake early in the morning take a deserved stretch drink some water and do some bilateral tapping or boxed breathing. Soon you’ll start to feel like yourself again. Try to write down how you feel. It even helps if you name your feeling and repeat what other feeling you want to feel than the previous one.

Take a few minutes to do a quick breathing exercise or meditation. There are many available for free on various meditation apps. This can help you calm your mind. Or consider writing down your feelings and emotions. Try to examine why you’re feeling this way. Work worries, relationships, etc. What do you need to work on?

You are probably putting a lot of pressure on yourself to wake up, that’s probably what’s making you feel nervous and comfortable. For example If you wake up at 9:45, try setting the alarm for 9:30 then slowy let it decrease with time. You have to be patient with yourself, It’s okay if you don’t get it right the first time. Give yourself time to adapt to this new change and be gentle with yourself

Think of waking up early as your opportunity to get more from a day! If you woke up on your own (no alarm) then your body got the rest it needed to begin again. In most cases this is the truth, in some cases you may be going to bed with too much on your mind. Try to get a plan for what you want to do that day before going to lay down for bed. Be sure to include a great thing to reward yourself for waking up early so that you don’t feel nervous, but excited that you can read, drink coffee, make a great breakfast or even do a light exercise (if your like me it often turns into a extreme one… try not to do that). But do something that is you alone with little or no distractions around to be at peace with the quite, that maybe you can’t when all others are awake.

For me it’s all in the preparation. The night before I set my intentions for the next day. “Keep it Simple” is my motto so not to overwhelm myself. I created a habit of three things I must do for myself as soon as I wake up. For example, when I wake up, I go to the restroom, weigh myself, then meditate (not always in that order but those 3 things everyday.) Sometimes I replace meditating for praying or do both. By setting my intentions just for me relieves the anxiety or feeling that I should be doing dozens of things for everyone else because I’m up early. This habit allows me to ease into my day calm and relaxed so I can tackle the day ahead. Taking time to feel my breathe and claim my gratitude for life and love sets the tone of my day. Be gentle with yourself by setting smaller goals and take it one day at time until you find your rhythm.

I know the feeling—when getting out of bed feels impossible, and every part of you says *you should not do it just yet*. That’s when I lean on something bigger than me. The night before, I pray to Jesus… I ask for strength I don’t have yet, for a victory I can’t see. And in the morning, even if the struggle still hits the same, I’ve got a spark of faith that it’s possible. That I am not a victim, but that there is another power. I choose to trust that instead of the “warning lights” of my body. And few steps into the morning, a glass of water and perhaps a small stretch the heaviness fades and I find that actually I am well rested. It’s not willpower—it’s faith doing the lifting.

Try journaling your feelings or speaking to someone about them. What makes you feel that way and why? Try and break down what you can do to ease these feelings.

1. Wake up gradually: Shift your wake-up time 15–20 mins earlier every few days.
2. Start with calm: Do something gentle after waking—like stretching, warm water, or soft music.
3. Don’t pressure yourself: Just focus on one small task, not a full morning routine.
4. Name your feelings: If you feel nervous, pause and ask yourself why—don’t fight it.
5. Sleep well: Avoid screens before bed and wind down calmly at night.
6. Be kind to yourself: Say encouraging things to yourself like, “It’s okay, I’m trying.”
7. Keep going: It takes time, but it gets easier with practice.

Set an alarm for 6 for example & another for 20 minutes later to let your body adjust to the morning.
Take your time.
Stretch and stick to a routine. Have a plan, get changed and make your bed, go for a walk or go to the gym.
Get a coffee and go for a drive.
Take time for yourself and plan your perfect day, find the best move on the chess board

I find planning my morning the night before gives me something to look forward to. It makes getting up a pleasant thing. Did I plan a nice breakfast and check the ingredients before going to bed are easily accessed? Know in your heart that it’s a fresh day with even the smallest fresh opportunities waiting to try. Drinking coffee on the front steps to the sight of a sunrise. Quiet before the rest of the world invades. I don’t get up early to be early to commitments. The first 30 minutes are all mine to enjoy.
