For me it’s about actually getting out of bed so when your alarm goes off just get out of bed straight away. After a couple of days it just becomes natural and you don’t even think about it. The other tip is to have something to get up for so maybe putting your music on, making yourself a coffee. Whatever it is just make sure you get out of bed! Best of luck

As I recall hearing in an 'Impact Theory' interview, I imagine myself as a spaceship just waiting to blast off. The moment I am conscious and can hear my own thoughts with my eyes closed, I start counting down from 3 to 0. Once I’ve reached 0,I don’t allow myself any time to contemplate about waking up and just wake up jumping out of bed.

I am getting to the point where the idea of starting my morning routine gets me moving. It’s fairly long so I have to get at it so I can get to work. I really like stretching first thing in the morning now. I’ve never done morning stretching or meditating before.

It took me years to develop good sleep hygiene so that I go to bed and get up at the same time everyday. It only varies when something major is going on. I have found I no longer have to set an alarm. Even if something really unique is going on that requires me to get up before I normally do. I almost always just keep it in mind and wake up. Changing my lifestyle to have good sleep hygiene made all the difference in the world.

It’s actually very difficult. Even when I have something on that I need to attend. Looking forward to coffee and breakfast is great and when the weather is sunny, it’s much easier to wake

Beginning the morning with, “Thank you Lord” for waking me up with a sincere heart motivates me to get up. I do not ever want to take my body, my mental and physical health for granted. As I lay in bed, I try to remember what a blessing it is to be able to get up and just do it.

I usualy try not to think about it as much and just gwt up or else my minds wants to convince me to go back and get some more sleep... if i dont wake up that second it usualy wins over me haha

My alarm clock is on the other side of my room so I have to get up to turn it off. Then I try to get moving and try not to let myself crawl back in bed.

I try to wake up as soon as the alarm goes off. I visualise myself going to work on time and taking things one step at a time and imagine myself in a calm stste of mind

The first thing I do every morning (besides brushing my teeth and washing my face) is a 45 minute workout so what makes me get out of bed is telling myself, “how bad do you want it?” A toned body. I want it really bad so I do it, I get out of bed.
