To realize all your desires, you need to learn to manage their own time and use it effectively. To start Develop useful morning rituals. They set the tone for the remaining day.

Before we begin, I want to ask you something. You've heard of Stanford marshmallow experimentmarshmallow experiment? It was carried out in the late 60's - early 70-ies led by psychologist Walter Michel, who later became a professor at Stanford University.

In this study, the children are offered a choice: to eat one cookie (sometimes marshmallows) now or wait 15 minutes and twice more sweets. After 10 years, researchers found that children who were able to wait for the promised reward, life was more safely.

To change something in yourself is very difficult, because it is a long and hard process. But we need to go through it, if you want to succeed. Through personal research and experimentation, I found the habits that help change lives for the better.

1. Wake up early

I believe that everyone should develop the habit of getting up early. However, in today's world it is not so easy to do. There are many reasons why you can not wake up at five in the morning. But you do not need heroics.

Sufficient to draw the correct relation between sleep and wakefulness.

If you usually wake up at 8:00, but you want to get up two hours earlier - try to set the alarm to 7:45. Lasted so a couple of days? Reduce the time for another 15 minutes. And so until then, until you get up at 6:00. At the same time you can change habits and start the evening to go to bed a little earlier.

2. drink water

This is required, because the night the body loses fluid supply, and it should be filled. Morning glass of water starts the metabolism and helps the body to wake up.
