<h1>The Morning Routine </h1> <h1>The Morning Routine </h1>
<p> </p> <p>To give you a little introduction on this routine, first note down that this is intentionally designed to be uncomfortable. I am aware that not everyone will want to wake up at 6 o clock in the morning on a sunday and take a cold shower at 7 o clock. But the reason i am doing this ties back to the <a href="../discipline/index.html">discipline</a> i am building and refining every day, see <a href="../opus-nihil/index.html">Opus Nihil</a>. </p>
<p>We, as humans are different from animals because we are able to choose to go beyond our instincts, while animals are unable to. It is our ability to choose, and to use tools that is making us the peak of evolution on this planet. <b>But the less you are exerting your ability to choose, and to use your body and mind as your own tools, the less you are human</b>. We are "Human beings" only when we know how to be, if you don't know how to be, then you're just a "human creature", no different from the rest of the animal kingdom.</p>
<p>This routine, although it may seem to be very simplistic, has 2 key elements in it. <b>You will wake up early every day, even on the weekends</b>, and you will take an <b>uncomfortably cold shower</b> shortly after waking up. Nobody in their right mind wants to do that right ?</p>
<p>The reason behind it is that the first thing you must do in the morning is <b>exert your ability to choose, no matter what the body or mind wants</b>, we are not talking about building habits in the conventional sense, <b>we are talking about dissolving habits</b>. Normally you would want to wake up later, you would want to turn up the heat. But doing so means that you are giving up control, That is why we are <b>bringing back control, to dissolve your habits.</b> </p>
<p>There is one thing you need to remember before you start. <b>The first step is the hardest, but the next one is easier, and the next one even easier.</b> Don't underestimate your body and mind's ability to adapt. Personally the hardest part for me was to wake up that early in the weekend, but now, 2 months in, there's nothing hard about it anymore, it is simply part of waking up now.</p>
<p>So give yourself some time to adapt to it, maybe start your day at 8 o clock in the weekends initially, and the next week start it at 7h30, and the next week at 7h00, until you arrive at 6h00. I feel like this is optimal due to the amount of work i can squeeze into the morning when i start to work on my personal projects from 7h00 to 12h00, so in my opinion it is totally worth the effort.</p>
