How to be an early bird??..(consistently!)

Not bad, not bad...my second day of the blogging initiative and all I can think about in office is blogging...but as I have also resolved...these blogs will need to be spontaneous....yet revolve around topics that matter to me...willl hopefully allow me to share my views and also learn something new by doing some necessary reasearch..so following up on that train of thought..today i'm going to write about how I should train my obstinate self to get up on time..which is 5.30 a.m. and not a second later if I want to get everything done on my plate in the morning and not be the one to walk into office later than everyone else on my team...if not the whole frickin office!!

okay..so after googling for a few minutes...here's what I have learned..tan-tan-aaaa...there are 2 schools of thought on this issue...one leans towards training the mind and the other towards training the body...in short, the former focus on cultivating self-discipline while the latter on training the body...so that essentially at 5.30 a.m. getting up will be a bodily response to the alarm clock that I would have habituated myself to....hmm...they even suggesting trying this activity out several times during the day...even when I am not sleeping...just to get in the habit and so that my body knows exactly what to do when its time to actually get up in the morning...and the mind will have absolutely no say in it. Since i have been struggling with the self-motivation option since a long time...I think I am going to give this physical habit one a shot! Nothing to lose...plus from what I have heard personally from people who consistently get up early in the morning si that it invariably is like a habit....
Another intersting tip...no matter what time you sleep at night (ie. sleep only when you are actually sleepy..don't force urself to sleep at 9.30) get up at a fixed time every day 365 days a year...this is essential for the habit forming thing to work!
So summing up on what I have decided to do....will place my alarm clock away from the bed...actually in the corridor...directly after switching it offf...I will NOT enter the bedroom again...willl directly go to the bathroom and then the living room...drink water...open all the shades...and put on some music...this sequence of events should be enough (I hope) to have thrown me out of slumber....
So update tomorrow...or rather after a week on how this has fared out..

Thanks Gits! getting up in the morning (haha!)...not very bad I would say ... i do wake up at 5.30 & do all the things that I mentioned, then wander back into the bedroom after half an hour or so & get back in the quilt..my logic being that I am already awake now..just merely lying down for a bit...so that has to stop!! but it is quite nice to have all that time in the morning & not be rushing to work!!
