Kickstart Your Day





by Vlad Dolezal
Have you wondered- How to Wake up Excited and Full of Energy?

Most of us must have noticed this that when we were small kids, we used to wake up tired to get to school on time and wanted to just crawl back into bed and sleep for another hour or two.

Yet at the weekend, we would jump out of bed before 6, excited and full of energy. Why? Because there are some exciting cartoons on TV or friends are waiting for jogging or you are going to the swimming pool....!

Have a reason for waking up


A great way to wake up excited and full of energy is to find your mission in life. Your purpose for existence. And then go, and take daily action to get closer to achieving it!

If you find a purpose big and exciting enough, it will pull you out of bed in the morning, and fill you full of energy better than a cup of coffee, yerba mate, and cocaine all together! (not that I have ever tried that)

But even if you haven’t found your mission yet, or aren’t working on any specific part of it right now, you can still wake up with a smile on your face.

Just find a fun and exciting thing to do, and plan it first thing in the morning!

One of the best productivity tips you’ll ever hear is doing the most uncomfortable thing in the morning. That’s great once you’ve woken up… but to get yourself to wake up, planning something fun and exciting works far better.

If you plan something boring and uncomfortable for your morning, you will wake up, and just pull the covers over your head, and pretend the world isn’t there. Or even go back to sleep.

If you plan a fun and exciting task for your morning, you’ll wake up, grin from ear to ear, yawn a loo-o-ong lazy yawn, stretch from head to toe like a cat, and then jump out of bed, and be off towards a new exciting day!

So what’s the exciting task you want to plan? That depends on you.

I personally love juggling. So if I had a tough day ahead of me tomorrow, I might decide to do some juggling first thing in the morning! That would get me out of bed and excited for the rest of the day :D

Just pick something you love, and do it first thing in the morning. You’ll love the results.
