How To Change Bad Habits

How To Wake Up On Time

Most of us simply hit the snooze button when our alarm goes off and doze on until the very last possible moment. Then you frantically find yourself rushing to get ready and you end up starting your day without feeling fully prepared for it.

Here is the smarter way.

Try getting three alarm clocks. One digital clock that you plug into the wall, one digital clock that runs on batteries and one mechanical one.

Place all three of these alarm clocks in different locations around your room, but they must be at least 15 feet away from your bed.

This strategy will do several things for you. First of all if one of your clocks decides to let you down, at least the other two will still wake you.

The next thing this strategy will do for you is it will force you to get up and move. By the time you have gone to each clock and turned them off your blood will be flowing and you will no longer be half asleep.

Now you are up for the day, and you have plenty of time to get ready.

How To Trick Yourself Into Keeping Fit

Let me guess….you don’t have time to work out?

This is total B.S. but you know that.

The truth is that we don’t have time to skip working out. When we exercise every day, our mental and physical performance will be so much better.  Any time lost exercising is recaptured several folds by an increase in your output.

Exercising regularly will also add years to our life, as well as add life to our years.

Try this trick.

Put up a pull-up bar right outside the room that you eat most of your meals. Make yourself a rule that you must earn your meals by doing at least one pull up. Each week you could add another.

If you lack upper body strength, there are other ways, like placing a set of weights, a ball or even a recumbent bike and make yourself use the equipment before you allow yourself to eat.

Every bit of exercise you do helps, and it can be done in ten-minute spurts throughout the day if your schedule is tight.

Here are some more tips for exercising on the go.
