Early rising
There is nothing quite like waking up at 5 a.m. I got used to waking up early last week, but each time the alarm goes off before 5:30, it feels like death. I go through the motions to get up. I wash my face, throw on some clothes and get in the right mindset. This morning I went to the gym to cycle. Once I was through the motions and finished my workout, I realized that it was probably worth it getting up that early. There is something about getting up before the sun even shows its face that is awful but so hardcore. I’m in the elite crowd of early risers. And it is not just about fitness that motivates me to go out, but the desire to try something different. Pushing your comfort zone is important to have new experiences. And while I realize that I don’t want to necessarily be an early riser in my life, I do realize that working out in the morning puts me in a good mindset for the rest of the day.
