“One key to success is to have lunch at the time of day when most people have breakfast.” ~Robert Brault
Well more famous one...
Early to bed & early to rise makes a man healthy; wealthy & wise...........For all smart cookies....out there......... this is applicable to woman, girls, boys, kids, child, teenagers everybody..not just “man”
One Happy/Sad Realisation 4 me: I cross my heart & say...I am not a morning person at all. Infact, I hate getting up before 8.00am and if i could or rather situations permits, i would probably sleep (actually love to sleep) until 10am everyday.I am not too sure of whether i am a night owl by nature or hate being an early bird, but too often (specially after becoming so-called ‘independent’) it is ’late to bed, late to rise’ for me. I would comfortably blame it on hustle & bustle of everyday life.
Truly Snoozing S@%ks- I have an instinctive ability of being able to slap an alarmclock or soft-touch ‘ok’ on i-phone without actually rising out of ..........‘state of relatively suspended sensory and motor activity, characterized by total or partial unconsciousness and the inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and it is more easily reversible than hibernation or coma. It is a heightened anabolic state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. It is observed in all mammals, all birds, and many reptiles, amphibians, and fish.’..........aasaan baasha mein ‘sleep’ (3 idiots.... pun intented)!. My record :: 2 hours of consecutive snoozing one morning >>>I know, but my mentally water-logged brain is not rational enough in any way to understand that this snoozed sleep is not restful in anyways!!!
Can’t help being a science student – As per theory of Static Friction:::”The force of static friction is a reaction force in that its value depends upon the magnitude of some external force trying to push the object along the surface .”--> very true.....i meant..... applicable & hence proved .
Looking back i always had a great magnitude of some external force for waking up early – Detain if no attendance@School at 7.30am;Punch-in for salary@Office at 8am; Strict Sports Master@ Practice at 6.00am; Compulsory attendance @dance class;Stern Sanskrit Pandit; Strange & Unpredictable Punishment for not attending yoga classes(Prof. Pillai ‘s students would know); Not to miss cheaper early morning Flights; And not to forget last minute preparations for series of tests/exams.
U See.....we mere mortals need collaterals.
Some Lucky People -However, If you are a person who naturally get up before daybreak....yep......i meant ...... 5.30am, then count yourself 'Lucky' – Society is on your side. By ‘Society’ i mean ................mummy, papa, uncles, aunties, cousins, MIL, FIL, neighbours, boss, other superiors in office, famous personalities, family tagged achievers, productivity gurus, lifestyle preachers, personality development writers.......& even maids/ milkman/ paperwala/ pets .....etc.......etc......
Though Ignorance is bliss - Yes, Couldn’t any longer ignore the correlation between SUCCESS & RISING EARLY. Becoming an early riser has become a holy writ among more than a few personality development writers like Robin Sharma, Shiv Khera, Dale Carngie, Jim Clemmer or Paul Coelho. And how to become an early riser have been among most popular posts by self-help bloggers like Steve Pavilion, Glen Stansberry, Arina Nikitina & others.
In my keen journey to understand Why Mornings Matter, i happen to comprehend
• Secret of how to become an early riser through Kundaliyoga......

• Why one should wake up early & 21 tips to do so................

• Motivation & ways to wake up early..............

Duh!........yep i did read each one of them..... ZILCH.....Still am not convinced as to how someone can unleash their energy in a specific task or keep a positive attitude through the day just by being an early riser;
CAN ANYONE SUCCEED DESPITE WORKING AGAINST THE BETTER JUDGEMENT OF THEIR BODY?
OR
IS THAT I CAN NEVER TASTE SUCCESS B’COS OF BEING A LATE RISER?

Don’t know what rewards hide behind this door which i am hesitant to open – but would definitely like to hear your opinions on the same!!!
