The 4 a.m. Miracle

I know it sounds like something a coach would say.

But it’s not like that;

I’m on the same page as many influential people – those who wake up at 4 a.m.

Why is it so hard to understand that it benefits most of us?

I started this journey after reading the book The Miracle Morning. It’s a great book, though it has its problems.

For example, it says you should stack lots of habits in the morning—like journaling and practicing gratitude.

I think that’s part of the problem.

It’s boring and doesn’t work for everyone; it makes people less willing to wake up early.

What works, then?

At most, do some stretches, and then start doing what you have to do.

In my case, when I started learning English, it worked because it was important to me.

I was doing something that mattered for my future, and that motivated me.

But how do you wake up that early in the morning?

It’s simple: go to bed early—by 8 p.m., at least.

Seriously, it’s that easy.

Many people wreck their bodies by trying to sleep less in order to wake up early, but that’s an illusion; you need sleep.

Studies also show that the earlier you go to bed, the better your sleep quality.

You might say, “I live with my family and they don’t let me sleep early.”

It’s time to have a conversation with them, my friend; otherwise, you won’t achieve your goals in life.

And that’s the bigger problem: how long are you going to live with so much frustration?

Are you even going to learn English to a decent level?

That’s my point: start doing what you have to do—the thing you already know you should be doing.

That project you’re procrastinating on—the one you know will change your life for the better.
