007: How do I become a morning person?

Julia Lynch Episode 7

In this episode, Julia dives into her journey of becoming an early riser, sharing the challenges and strategies that helped her transition from waking up late to consistently starting her day at 7 AM. Julia emphasizes that waking up earlier is a choice, not a fact, and explores the importance of mindset in making this change.

She introduces the concept that the belief "I can't wake up earlier" is just a thought, not a truth, and challenges listeners to reflect on why they might be setting such boundaries. Julia discusses the critical role of bedtime in waking up early, highlighting that going to bed earlier is often the key to getting up earlier. 

She candidly shares her own struggles with late nights and how she gradually shifted her bedtime from midnight to 10 PM. She lays out a strategy that you can try too!

Throughout the episode, Julia stresses the importance of understanding your "why" when making habit changes. She encourages listeners to assess the quality of their "me time" and to distinguish between rejuvenating activities and those that simply fill time.

Julia also discusses the significance of incremental changes, sharing how small, consistent adjustments can lead to significant results.

Julia's personal experiences, including the use of an Oura Ring to track her sleep quality and the challenges she faced in maintaining her new routine, offer practical insights for anyone looking to transform their morning habits. 

Whether you're trying to wake up earlier or simply optimize your daily routine, this episode provides valuable tips and motivation to help you achieve your goal - including sleep goals, but also ANYTHING else. 

One edit: I refer to the "Life School" and I should have said "Life Coach* School".
