This is what I wake up to often. Standing in the cold, catching a peek at dawn. It’s the very first part of the day. My biggest rock, my early morning is what the rest of my day will rest on.
5 years ago, I figured myself out, I am a morning person. I also figured out I could get up as early as 4:30 (back then) and get everything BIG done. Quiet time, coffee, plan my day, exercise” and still be out the door at 7ish. The rest of the day went as much according to plan as possible, because I got up and planned and I got that big rock rolling into place.
I’m up way early today because I have somewhere to be this morning, matter a fact for the next few mornings, I will be out the door very very early.
Sitting down with coffee, I immediately ask myself, what am I eating today? YOU have to do that when you are on a specific plan.
I asked myself, WHEN will I exercise, now or later? I teach tonight, later. I am on an exercise plan.
I asked myself, where are my exercise clothes, and what foods will I leave the house with because I am on a specific plan that just simply needs to happen day in and day out. Rolling the big rock into place.
If I slept in, I’d be asleep right now, tucked down deep in my covers. But I’m not, I personally can’t afford to wake up and chase the day, hoping I have everything I need. (Do you know how many people come to the gym, and they have to turn right around and leave because they either forgot their shoes or pants?) Up early and organized, it’s how I roll.
No pats on the back needed, millions are just like me, they have a plan, they are prepared and they execute. It’s just how they roll.
When you see some one at a gym who looks fantastic, it did not happen by accident. The have a foundational plan they follow from eating to exercise. They calculate to with in an inch, an ounce, a calorie, a pound and an hour. That’s how they roll.
