Wake up early


A year ago I woke up at 7.30 am everyday. Just doing the essential things. Such as eat breakfast (which isn’t really essential), brush my teeth and watch a youtube video. After that I got on my bike and cycled to school. And for the rest of the day I was tired. My life took me over. I wasn’t in control. Around 6 months I changed it all. A point of my life, I probably never am going to forget. I changed my clock which was set on 7.30 am to 7.00 am. And after that from 7.00 am to 6.30 am. And around a month I set the clock to 6.00 am. This decision is powerful. And I am going to explain why you should make this choice too.



1. More time to set goals for the day

Firstly, the first benefit is that when you wake up, for example, at 6 am you have all the time to plan your day or make a to-do-list or to do whatever you want to do to plan your day. And when you have done that you have spend 1% of your day to make the other 99% useful. So, you become a more efficient planner.

2. More time to eat breakfast

One of the things I really care about is a good breakfast. It gives me the energy I need though out the day. A study done by Oxford University showed that there are multiple reasons why breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you sit down and take the time for breakfast you will be energy your whole day long!

3. Quiet time

Waking up at an early hour will give you peace. No one is awake. No one is going to disturb you during your own time. It is just you and your great habits. No yelling kids. Or annoying brothers and sisters. All in all, the best of life ;)

4. Productivity

The mornings are known for the productive hours of the day. You are full of energy and can attack the big tasks first. Because if you start you day off with completing the big tasks, you are more likely to finish your to-do-list.

5. Time for things which are really important for you

Lastly, I usually don’t have a lot time to do the things which are really important for me. Such as reading and writing. But since I woke up earlier, I can make more time for those tasks and develop myself more.

In addition; you will get to see the sunrise though your window.
Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.



So, at what time are you going to wake up tomorrow?

Recontextualization; a change in framing

One day, about two or three years ago, my little brother stole my bar of chocolate. I was mad and lost my respect towards him. Later on that day I asked ‘Why did you steal my bar of chocolate?”. He said “Because it is mine”. I said “No it isn’t”. “Yes it is” he kept saying. Then my mom came in the room and asked why I didn’t eat my chocolate bar. My perspective changed; I could n’t find my bar and I said that he stole it , which he didn’t. My facts didn’t changed but the way I looked at it did. This is called recontextualization. The importance of Recontextualization When we get the inside in this phenomena we learn how we can change or perspectives. It also opens up the possibility of radically changing your understanding of a situation or facts without changing the facts. In my opinion, reality can hide the things that are in our reach. It helps us to put the right things in the proper context. Another example, ‘a man is jumping’. Think for a second a

5 Key Points to Accompish your Goals

Before I started self actualizing. I always had big dreams and goals. Never wrote them down, but I had them in my mind. I thought with that attitude I was going to make it happen. Although, now I realize it is the other way around. People, in general, want to realize their goals, including me. But, they fail at the very beginning, with the goal setting process. And I think that shouldn’t happen. So, today I am going to help you to improve your goal setting. To make your goals, come true. The basics To start, we are going to discuss the basics. To make goals more clear you firstly will have to write them down. Make those goals big. And with big I mean really big. So, you only are 60% sure of it. Even if, you want to become the president of America ;) Because I know you can accomplish anything. Not a couple, but a lot. For example, a thirty (Honestly, I myself can only come up with twenty). Later on, you will see that some goals are not that well fitted for your lifestyle. So, you
