1. Wake up, instead of snoozing... snoozing increases anxiety 2. Natural light BEFORE artificial light... natural light supports circadian rhythm 3. Water BEFORE anything else... water is good for your whole being

My favorite phrase in this podcast, personally it hit me hard. ''The mistake that you and I make is we base the decision on how it’s going to feel right now instead of making a decision based on how it impacts you in the long run. It’s so easy to say you right I’ll stay a little bit longer. But easy decisions make your life harder when you learn how to make a hard decision life gets easier. Love you Mel Robbins

When I heard that I had to pause the video! My mantra in life after hearing Les Brown say this at my graduation ceremony from Grad School " do what's hard now and the rest of your life will be easy, but it you do what's easy now, the rest of your life will be hard. I instill that principle into my nieces and nephew all the time and now I have to reinstate that for MY life. My issue is knowing I need to work out but don't. Thank you Mel, I knew by listening to you would get my spirits back up. 😁😁

Waking up with my pet cows and chickens.. lifting feed for them.. drinking my coffee as sun coming up.. like a frkn old Folgers coffee commercial..sunrise and sunset 30min walks..and low carb eating and eating during certain time periods.. annd.. listening to you Mel and your beautiful community here in the comments.. love you Mel!! 👍😉❤️

For those of you who wake before the sunrise, as I do, just get outside when it does come up. In the meantime, stay off screens/other bright light. Use a soft light in the house; read, meditate, fix breakfast, what ever it is you do in your morning routine. Sun comes up, then go outside. Consistency is key!

I am glad I am not alone in needing that. I had a huge ahah moment when I first discovered Mel. It was from an audio book I purchased of hers. She had interviews she has done with people for different issues. One person was talking about her biggest fear of making mistakes and how it was caused by her past. That is my biggest fear and listening to that segment made me realize how it was connected to my past. I still haven’t figured out how to let it go.

EFT or tapping is great for dealing with past regrets. I personally like Faster EFT.

This is Soooo true. Another area of over confidence in the morning is in how much time it takes to do anything. The clock in my head and the clock on the wall rarely line up. I usually think I have more time than I really do.

Fortunately, I have an office with lots of natural light. The water trick I have been using for about a month now - learned it from your podcast Mel, and it really does make a difference. The snooze button? I use it. Not to sleep, but for prayer. Before the light, before the water, and before I leave the bed my day begins with prayer time.

16:48 and 31:00 1st decision - Don't snooze the alarm 31:18 2nd decision - natural light before artificial light 40:59 Drink water before coffee/ tea

Nice what does it do

Thanks Mel. Needed that at this exact point of my life. Note to self: Do Not Keep Doing The Same Thing and Expect Different Results.

Golden. Getting up when we wake up (no longer sneaking back in bed), exposing to sunlight (not screen light) 1st thing, if only for a few minutes; and having coffee after water, food, 90 minutes min from wake up (to avoid cortisol and later slump). Thank you for the science behind these 3, and for sharing your own experiences ever so candidly! ❤

Mel, I love your podcast because you are real, you're not a fake, your honest and known about yourself and it makes easy to relate and listen. Thank you for what you give to us. And in case no one else told you this today: I love you and i believe in you ❤

This podcast came at the perfect time! This is exactly what I’m struggling with right now. I have been snoozing, haven’t worked out in months, behind on homework by almost a month! And my anxiety is so high. I need this reminder. Thanks, Mel! 🖤🖤

You absolutely were speaking to me with this! Everything you said hit close to home. I live in the realm of knowing, the doing is where I get stuck. . . in my head. Like the famed Nike commercial, just do it.

I stopped hittingb the snooze decades ago. I figured this out on my own that everytime I hit snooze it only made me more tired through my entire day.

Wow. Just the alarm analogy blew me away

" ...But easy decisions make your life hard." !!!!!.... The TRUTH is TRUTH

67, retired! Wake up at 0630, usually my dog lucky wakes me up. Let him out and do all my stretching, drink water and make sure he’s fed. Read daily meditations and the Bible. Take lucky for a two mile walk, come home one cup of coffee and light breakfast. Lift weights every day, play disc golf and pickle ball. Stop at the library and catch up on reading. Life is good.

out of bed before 530 with no alarm! Super proud of my self! I want it!

False Confidence... I love it!!! It really describes all the situations that you procrastinate about and do not end up accomplishing. Thank you Mel!

I have false confidence regarding a night time behavior for years. YEARS Mel. Wished I watched it last night but whatever. Moving forward! Tonight, I am implementing new changes.

This is how I was this morning, thinking of hitting the snooze button, then said to myself, no, I need to get up Person B!

The snooze button logic is how I finally quit smoking cigarettes 11 years ago. Instead of tapering down and experiencing that brutal "snooze alarm" time and time again, I just stopped.

13 minutes in and i'm already laughing and so engaged! Mel, wanted to tell you that I used your workbook for my "New Year's Resolutions" and I feel that I'm still on track like I never have been before. It's so strange how you debunk our thoughts and get down to some really important questions to ask ourselves! You have brought out so much good in people. I feel it in myself and the 5 second rule was amazing when I first saw you on Impact theory with Tom Bilyeu, I thought who is this woman? She is so wise and gritty - I love her already! I was so unmotivated that I became extremely lazy. I knew it was because I was directionless and sometimes I still feel that way, but less. So thank you - I'm so grateful for your work and research and just helping other people be better people 💝

I usually don't sit on my phone in the morning but this week I had a bug and wanted some distraction while pain killers kicked in. I noticed a huge negative difference in my brain through the day. It was really flitty and seeking constant input, like those few minutes set a tone for the day. It was horrid. Back to just checking the weather and moving on. If you spend those few minutes setting intentions. Boom - what a difference.

False confidence . Yes change feels great I'm all in

It's still dark out when I wake up but just get outside, it makes a difference

I don't drink caffeine, period. My body does not like it. I'm 66 and retired. I do set an alarm to go hiking early here in Arizona when it starts heating up because being in nature is where I feel best but on days when I don't go hiking I let myself wake up naturally. Exercise and nature are what keep me healthy and happy. We have lots of sunshine in Arizona. I lived 40 years in Alaska before retiring to Arizona. In Alaska, I had to use a SAD light box because of the winter darkness. It's important to get sunlight. I also had to take a high dosage of Vitamin D3 in Alaska, too. My levels are good now without having to take Vitamin D3.

Here is me, person #3, I set my alarm 3 minutes early to listen to a specific meditation and specific Brain frequencies to start best morning/day ever. Mara D

Love this! All three things I've been implementing as well as some others for a new morning routine and they are absolutely life changing. I quit snoozing due to researching your advice and sleep wake cycles, I drink water as soon as I'm awake, and I open my blinds to let the sunshine in, when it comes up. The phone thing, I put it down about 6 months ago and my life has completely changed!! I use a sunlamp for an alarm so I don't even need it to wake up! My phone doesn't even appeal to me anymore. I could care less if I even use it. Other than communicating with those I need too. I start with the basics brushing my teeth, washing my face, then Gratitude Journaling, daily devotional and short journal, then my brain dump and to do lists for the day. When the sun comes up I get outside for a few, depending on the weather, and I am an entirely different person!! I've never been one who has any energy throughout the day, I would wake up sleepy, sleepy all day, and then wide awake at night. I've also implemented a strict bedtime routine as well. The amount of energy I have now and the ability my brain has to focus so much better is UNREAL!!! My moods are better, my energy is better, my self care habits are so much better, and I want everyone to know that these things really to work and they REALLY will help you!! And Mel the statement you made about basically focusing on the decision in the right now and not thinking about how that decision is going to affect us in the long run is PHENOMENAL and eye opening!! That statement hit me hard and stuck with me and for my next habit change, a consistent work out routine, that is the mantra I'm going to use everytime I get ready to workout!! Because the decision I make in that moment to workout will definitely help me in the long run!! Gosh!! Thank you!!

There is a lot of people that drink only one coffee - the morning one, and do not need or want a coffee during the day. It is not an addiction for everyone.

Hi, Mel! I must thank you for all you do... It definitely seems like you're right inside my head! I work 5p-2a, and I've always just slept til i woke up, immediately got on my phone for at least an hour, and drank whatever watered down tea or soda that i left on the nightstand the night before. I also have ADHD, therefore time paralysis, so i would just stay in bed or move to couch and do nothing u til time to get ready for work. From now on, starting tomorrow, I'm going to set an alarm for 10a. That will have given me 8hrs sleep. Then I'll get up, grab a bottle of water, and go sit outside without my phone. I'll pray, meditate, make a gratitude list, and read my AA devotional. Im excited to see how i feel!

But getting outside even in the dark helps me!! I do my 5 minute standing stretches on the porch as the dogs potty, even in 20 brisk air!

Being exhausted and feeling overwhelmed makes it hard to even follow simple good choices but it makes sense to keep trying. I like how you posed it, when you said that procrastinating and staying in bed is not something you would recommend to a friend.

Nailed it. Everything seems possible the night before ..until I make that one dumbass decision to stay up late. The outcome is ALWAYS the same.

For the natural light, what if you get up when it’s dark out?

It is nice to know I am not the only one who strugles sometimes with getting up and taking my dogs for a 15 min walk before work. Even in winter the fresh air is so great no matter how cold it is. It makes me feel great. If I choose to stay in bed for a snooze I don' t feel so great and the dogs are then stock in the house all day. After their 15 morning walk the dogs are ready to sleep again. I also watched the menoupse video. Great stuff.

I did it today Mel! I will continue to do it 😊 I feel better!

Woww Mel, 2.51 Million subscribers?!?! Youu go girl!! 💥🌟💟

Miss Mel Robbins..in 2024 we call this delusional. 😩😂 To believe that doesn’t add up. I love your channel. Thanks for all the gems 💎

Mel, pushing the snooze button is delicious. Other has never worked for me. What works for us snoozers is stretching and slowly waking up by stretching along with opening you eyes etc. Being kind to yourself and respecting that you are not a morning person but a great person finding another solution to make it to work on time without panic is key. Also, not sure why you were so over animated in this podcast, it made me nervous. Enjoy your false confidence, it’s delightful. ❤

This one was a gem!! So basic, so informative, but so overlooked! Thank you Mel!

Stop hating yourself. A fun night out is memorable. You won’t remember the bath. 😂😂

I am watching this after a night of no sleep ( worry, Overthinking rather than sleeping, etc.) .but I love it! Fantastic advice and so true.

OMG...Mel...this resonates so much with me and since I have been working on myself for the last 4 and a half years and being single on purpose to focus on me...I've been able to observe my inner conflict and sometimes I can negotiate with myself to get desired results or interrupt old patterns. I am now more aware of my thoughts and understanding who I am and my behaviours.

"Own your attention" 💖🙏 My fav part was to go outside and more importantly, why. Thank you Mel and the Team!

♥Hi Mel♥ Now I am cooking for dinner while listening to your talking and done sharing to facebook. And I really felt incredible from the very first day of my morning routine. I felt like a million bucks for the whole day♥

Mel, I have your words tattooed on my shoulder "it's up to you". Thank you for being kind, supportive and always keeping it real. ❤🥹

Well, I get up at 2 every morning to let our dogs out to potty, then up at 4 to make my husband's breakfast and out the door. Unfortunately, I get sleepy again and wake up just too lazy to get out of bed and do for myself.

Thank you back at you with a little love bomb back to you, from francine in Australia

Love this. My wife cant wake up

Wow what an amazing video,when I was driving a tractor/trailer over the road I would have to be at the plant at 6:00am-Instead of going home the jight before I would be with my girl friend upto 3:00am instead going home and get a good night sleep I would have just enough time to go home get a shower pack for my trip,it made the day so long lack of sleep and false confidence would eventually catch up to me,thank you for a wonderful video 😅😅

Love you Mel thanks for your amazing webinars.

This was great. As a non coffee drinker (I've just never had it), I can testify that coffee absolutely is what makes it hard to get out of bed and feel awake. Most mornings if I have slept okay, I wake up alert and fine, not grumpy, ready to function. I don't need anything to feel awake. Occasionally I have had a drink of Coke and if I have too much, I start to feel anxious (I'm not normally an anxiety sufferer). If you struggle with anxiety, giving up coffee might help.

I wake up at 2:45 pray then I use my phone to use a meditation app it’s still dark and the moon is still out when I leave to hit the gym before work.

Sleep tip: human sleep cycles (of which you should get at least 5 a night) are about 90 minutes on average, which means waking after 8 hours even wakes you in the middle of one of those cycles. Aim for seven and a half hours of sleep, or 6 or 9 depending on how much time you have available. Waking up an hour into one of those 90 minute cycles is when it's super hard to wake up.

Listening this podcast before going sleep and hoping to make changes tomorrow as she mentions. Thank you mel #learning and growing ❤

100% accurate all Mel is saying. I discovered by myself all this tricks, it took some time. Glad to see that someone is confirming and viral it.

Thank you Mel! Your podcasts are so relatable! I woke up this morning trying to fight false confidence with all my might! I have been following your advice and my life is shifting a whole 180! Much love ❤️❤️❤️

I thought I needed my coffee, but having tried the trick. It works! That said, I like the taste in the morning. I rewatched and checked - it's the caffeine itself I want to avoid. I had the idea of decaff as a first drink but I know water is even better.

But what if the night turned out to be one you will remember for years to come? Then the 5am wake up would be worth it. Wouldn't it?
