Good morning and welcome to Coffee with Colleen I'm Colleen Hammond. I'm a former on-camera
meteorologist for The Weather Channel turned executive image consultant coach
and mentor in 30 days or less I teach women how to take the guessing out of
dressing to dress for their body type their color their career so that every
outfit that they pull out of their closet is their favorite outfit that
makes them look and feel like a million dollars so we're going to talk about
getting out of bed because you know the early bird does get the worm is the old
saying and the you know these old things exist for a reason so morning people
have an advantage the night owls are hitting the snooze button right and
they're sleeping in and it's actually been shown that people who do get up
early actually get more done they live happier lives they tend to be more
successful they're less stressed they're more optimistic I know it sounds kind of
weird getting up early makes you more optimistic but it's true so here's tips
on how you too can become a morning person number one starting with get more
sleep I mean that seems kind of obvious right but if you're going to bed earlier
and getting more sleep it's going to be easier to get up in the morning so avoid
electronics we've talked about this in that how to have more energy course how
to have more physical and mental energy but I get in deep I do a whole session
on how to get better sleep high quality sleep but avoiding electronics before
you go to bed is super important up to two hours a minimum of one hour put the
phone down get off the computer stop watching TV and one of the best ways to
do that is read a book I mean not a Kindle or something off of
an electronic book right reading a good old-fashioned hardcover or soft cover
book with pages it's amazing I have had clients that have told me the very next
morning they will email me or call me or text me and say oh my gosh I read a book
last night I fell asleep reading the book I had the best night's sleep I've
ever had in a long time because they don't have the electronics I guarantee
you that one tip of not having electronics in front of your face I know
we have blue blockers in this discussion with my daughter's last night oh but we
have blue blockers on our phone mom like you told us to write blue blockers help
but still I guarantee you try it tonight if you dare it's going to be hard if
you're used to having electronics around number number two well this is all part
of number one is drinking kava tea and in the copy of today's nodes they give
you a link of the best cavity that I have found and it's also the most
inexpensive and it's organic and everything so it's awesome for you but
tava is better than chamomile people are like oh yeah I drink chamomile tea oh
you know if you want a deep night's sleep
kava is your answer essential oils try lavender cedar wood those types of
things but again I'm Maggie that's a half-hour course that I do you know how
to have more energy so I'm not going to get into that very deeply here but
reading a book watching your lighting around you the less electronics around
you the less light you're exposed to the better you'll sleep and use an app I'll
put a link in today's notes to the possess a pie talk about it all the time
but that is the app that I use and I love it
number two keep yourself on a schedule it's easier to get up in the morning
when you have a set schedule that your body is used to and that's including the
weekends so if you're used to getting up at 5 a.m. during the week and you're
like oh I want to sleep in on the weekends you're actually making it
harder for yourself to get up Monday morning so if you're used to getting the
5 a.m. fine get up at 6 but don't sleep in until 7 8 9 o'clock
on Saturday and Sunday and then expect Monday morning to not be a chore so the
Loesser you can set set stick to a set schedule the better off you're going to
be health-wise number one number two is going to be easier to get up in the
morning so when you're setting those times and you're trying to get up
earlier just work on 15-minute and increments and again I go over this in
the how-to have more energy course but move your bat your timing back if you're
used to getting up at 8 get up at 7:45 for a few days then get up at 7:30 for a
few days and then get up at 7:15 4:30 whew if you have that luxury of being
able to take 15 minutes chunks and move it back every couple of days that's far
easier on your body if not go cold turkey number three don't use a buzzer
thankfully we have so many different options now when it comes to our alarm
clocks or waking up on our phones or that type of thing and they've done some
studies to show that when you wake up to one of those obnoxious buzzers it kind
of sets your day off on the wrong foot and you kind of wake up irritated it's
such a shock to the system to be removed from for example if you're in a deep
state of REM which is rapid eye movement that's the Dreaming portion of your
sleep which is actually it's the Dreaming
portion but it's the lightest portion but anyway I digress
that when you're woken up partially out of a cycle of sleep like that it it kind
of messes with your brain so you're starting the day off wrong so wake up
with a gradual if you are able to have an alarm clock or something on your
phone or an app that you use that will gradually wake you up that's going to be
better for you overall for your brain for your health and for your optimism as
you get through the day so avoid those buzzers number four if you really have a
hard time getting up in the morning set two alarms so one to go off at one time
and you know some people you know you have that snooze button which actually
has been shown to be a problem so I'm not saying to set two alarms go back to
sleep and wake up again because you're disrupting your sleep cycle you may be
able to do it but it's not as healthy for you but what I mean by two alarms as
you set the first alarm and that tells you that this
time to get up to do these things get up and do your meditation or maybe you do
your meditation in bad maybe you know you you get up and make a cup of coffee
or maybe you know but you're just really groggy and getting along and then the
second alarm goes off and says okay now it's time to move on to the next stage
of the morning so this is not a smooth button this is the first alarm gets you
out of bed doing a few things and the second alarm takes you to that next
important stage of the morning if some people just can't or they get up and
they're kind of shuffling around the next thing they know an hours gone by
and they're like why did I get up early I haven't gotten anything accomplished
so if you have two alarms the first one gets you going in the first portion of
your day the second one gets you going on the second portion new your day that
will help you get the day off on a better foot number five this is so
helpful to me and I'm a morning person laying out your clothing the night
before you can if you're going to be exercise in the morning set out your
exercise clothes if you're getting up and going to work first thing get those
clothes let them hang out let them air out do they need to be pressed do it the
night before whatever you're going to need not just clothing wise but whatever
you're going to need the following morning do you need to pack a bag do you
need to whatever you need to do prep as much the night before so because in the
morning it takes your brain up to an hour to get awake to get to full
function on average around 30 minutes some people take an hour some people
take 15 minutes but the brain when you first come out of that sleep cycle the
brain takes a little bit of time to readjust to its new stage of being awake
so the more you can do the night before when your brain is focused alert and on
target the better off your mornings are going to be because you don't have to
worry about that so laying out your clothing or whatever you need the night
before number six do the same thing with your breakfast how much of your
breakfast can you prepare the night before if you have a smoothie can you
cut up those vegetables and those fruits and the things that you use in your
smoothie can you have that all the night before you know what I do with
my smoothie I take I have a Vitamix I take the blender and put everything in
the blender and then I put it in the fridge so in the morning all I have to
do is pull it out and put the lid on you know the lids early on it put it up
and turn it on it's all prepped it's cut it's in there it's ready to go you just
put it on and then you can cut it that way the enzymes are all fresh and won't
even get into that so prepping as much the night before how
about a boat meal cry in a crock pot you can do open ale and a crock-pot NetFlow
cooks all night long some people like french toast you know that can be cooked
whatever you want to do the night before even if let's say you have scrambled
eggs you know even if you break your eggs and get your milk and all in all
done the night before it's ready to go all you have to do is pour it in the pan
as much prep use you can do the night before it makes your mornings a lot
easier number seven right light right light as soon as your eye is exposed to
light especially like sunlight light type things that it will wake up and get
going a lot quicker and a lot easier so as soon as the alarm goes off turn on a
light get the lights going number where are we oh and some alarms do come with
lights where the alarm will start and the light is really low and as the time
goes on and the music plays or whatever the light gets brighter and brighter and
brighter number eight if you do have a hard time getting out of bed then take
the alarm clock and put it in a different room take your phone and put
it away so that you have to because sometimes the hardest part of getting up
in the morning is getting out up so if the alarm is going off in another room
if it's in the bathroom or if it's even on the table across the room from you
you have to get out of bed your feet have to hit the floor you have to let go
of the pillow and get out from underneath the covers and move to
another room and then once you're up make that commitment to stay up number
nine music get the music going any type of music that you can play or that that
motivates you or gets your blood bowling is music that's going to help
you move and get to get the day going so anytime you can have a playlist on
Pandora or Spotify or whatever is that you use that's going to help you get
your your brain in your mind in the right gear number seven number Kevin
number ten get your blood moving stretch when your alarm goes off and you're in
the bed stretch get get the blood moving into your muscles when you get out of
bed you can do a couple of jumping jacks do a couple of push-ups whatever just
get the blood coursing through your veins
you know your muscles have been pretty stagnant all night so once you can get
them activated and get things moving that's going to be helpful for your
entire body same thing with peppermint and that's
number eleven is take advantage of peppermint peppermint you've got to drop
a peppermint essential oil on your tongue and just inhale up into your
nasal cavity it opens up all your capillaries and puts more oxygen into
your system so keep a little thing of peppermint on your nightstand the alarm
goes off put a drop of peppermint on your tongue inhale that will wake you up
right away if you don't have an essential oil I know my daughter uses
Altoids if that's the same type of thing so get some peppermint so that will
actually donate your blood and waking up that way number 12
once you're in the bathroom first thing you do splash your face with some cold
water wash the sleep out of your eyes you know they just getting your hands
wet the palms of your hands there's something about that and then and then
your face as well that that will help energize you and wake you up and get
your blood flowing to number 13 visualization I should have put this one
earlier because this is also part of the night before visualize what your
tomorrow morning is going to be like so as you're lying in bed and you're
thinking and start thinking about yes in the morning when the alarm goes off and
this is what I'm going to do when we didn't get in to put the peppermint on
my tongue I'm going to get up I'm going to splash my face some people like to
brush their teeth first thing in the morning leave them
before they eat and then they brush their teeth again after they eat just
because the brushing in their teeth because there's probably because it has
peppermint in it but that helps them wake up
so visualize the night before what you are committed to doing the following
morning so plan out what you will do when the alarm goes off and your feet
hit the floor and I'm going to get up and going to sweat so once you practice
that in your brain and that's what you go to bed thinking then you'll just kind
of do it the next morning when you get up number 14 respect your wake-up time
as an appointment is it like pretend it's a doctor's appointment or an
appointment with somebody else important that you are committed to this
appointment it's on your calendar you're going to do it and so think of this as a
time that it's scheduled time is an appointment and I'm going to respect
this appointment to wake up just like I would have respect taking my child to
their doctor's appointment number 15 find a partner and it doesn't have to be
a partner that you meet with physically it could be somebody gets a text message
partner I did this when I was living in Michigan and had a text message partner
in Texas and my daughter's the one that actually taught me this one she had a
text message friend that they would get up in the morning and they would text
message each other you up yeah okay let's start our exercise routine and so
they were workout buddies but they weren't together they were in Texas and
in Michigan and so they just texted each other in the morning are you up yep
alright let's start our workout and so they committed to each other so if you
don't have somebody you can buddy up with person to person then find a text
message buddy you know and there's a lot of apps out there that'll help you with
that as well and number 16 and this is the final one sleep in your workout
clothing I went yeah right seriously but you know what they're kind of
comfortable anyway right so but you're already dressed all you have to do is
put your shoes on so if that's what it takes to get you to start an exercise
routine first thing in the morning then sleep in your workout clothes they're
all fluffy and comfy anyway all right so number one of course is get
enough sleep so we'll just do a quick recap
the easiest way to get up early is got better early so make sure you get enough
sleep keep on a set schedule the set time you go to bed at that time you go
to sleep even of seven days a week even on the weekends try to stay as close to
that as possible don't use a buzzer buzzers have been shown to start your
day off badly so use some sort other sort of way of waking up set two alarms
and I don't mean a snooze alarm the first alarm gets you out of bed doing a
few things the second alarm tells you to move to the next portion of your day
number five was lay out your morning clothes the night before and number six
is close to that prep breakfast the night before so as much morning prep
that you can do the evening before it makes it easier to get out of bed the
next morning number seven is flip on the lights as
soon as your eyes your retina is exposed to that light it starts with the wakeup
routine for your body and your brain so the alarm goes off get the lights on
number eight if you have a hard time with the alarm clock put it in another
room that gets you out of your bed and into another room to turn the alarm off
number nine take advantage of music play the type of music in the morning that
motivates you they get your blood rollin number ten speaking of blood get your
blood moving stretch do some jumping jacks jog in place anything you can do
to up your metabolism just a little bit and get the blood flowing to your
muscles 11 peppermint use the advantage of peppermint you should preferably put
some essential oil into them have an Altoid liver takes number 12 splash your
face and your hands with cold water number 13 make sure you visualize the
night before what the morning is going to be like 14 respect this as an
appointment that you if you were somebody else that you would be there
and make sure you do it number 15 partner up either person-to-person if
you're doing an exercise routine even by text message or you can have friends
that you've never met yet that are on an app and of course number 16 if you want
to implement an exercise routine sleep in your own clothing so I hope these
