I honestly loved this intro! I’m someone who gets up at 5am during the week (it’s actually 5:43am as I type this 😅) and I always feel so much more productive. Proud of you for trying to do this!
Last year I started waking up at 530am this year I’m doing 430am and spending time with the Lord and working out before I start my day and it’s so good for my mental health. Plus that sunrise 🙌🏻 love your high quality content.
This video inspired me to get up just 10 minutes earlier to do some quick stretching and ice roll my face before work. Feeling great!!! Thanks for the inspo Rachel ❤
I loved this video. I’ve been wanting to try to get up at 5am and the reason being to just get more “me time”. I wouldn’t be going to a gym, but I would be reading as I love reading when the house is nice and quiet. Like you I am an early riser and have been my whole life I can’t sleep past 6:30am. Thank you for this video ❤
I used to go to the gym at 5am and it is always quite here! loved going at that time but i’ve been slacking, definitely need to get back to it. but it definitely messes with your sleep schedule. especially since i work until 11:30pm
I'm a 4am riser Mon to Fri and yep I like the ability to fit a whole morning worth of activities - gym, dog walk, house tidy, study, read, breakfast - before going to work at 8am. But I also go to bed at 8pm every night
LOVE THIS 🙌🤍 I currently wake up at 4am every day to go to the gym. It just fits into my schedule best around work etc. What it does mean though is that I have to sacrifice a lot of events that may run late into the night but you gotta do what you gotta do.
This was so helpful! You are so good at articulating yourself and your explanation about needing a “why” was so eye opening. You could honestly write a book!
This was such a fun take on a weekly vlog! I loved your all black fit. This is a great idea, I used to love waking up early and was such a morning person, but the hardest part for me is going to bed early. I always end up scrolling on my phone till late
I love your vlogs, Rach! You are such a delight - and so beautiful, inside and out. Praying for the abundance of God's blessing and favour upon your life. So proud of you! 💗💗
I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, never in my life being 26 would I have thought I’d wake up at 3am… but when you have kids and they are early risers (5-6am) waking up at 3am is my only “me” time 😂 so Mon-Fri I get up at 3am to start my day and it’s honestly the best feeling x
With napping, I have this weird thing that the days when I lay down and want to get up again after a couple of mins means I actually need to nap bc I get restless when I'm over tired, and then when I try to stay there longer I will either surprise myself by falling asleep or just get really frustrated :p
My everyday routine waking up at 4 am to leave the house at 5 am for work... I've always thought i would be able to wake up a bit earlier and get a heap of stuff done before leaving for work, but the idea of waking up even 2 minutes earlier is a no go
You’d be surprised how quickly you get used to getting up at 4am.. done the 4am wake up for 4 years whil living in Sydney.. winter wasn’t as bad as I thought, somedays were tough tho
I really enjoyed watching this video and it’s so interesting to hear about your opinions 💜. Personally, I wake up at 4am every day (I mean, there are days where I don’t haha) and I genuinely enjoy it. I’m on a tough schedule with uni and waking up at 4am makes it possible for me to go to the gym before uni and studying and this just sets the tone for my day. If I don’t work out I use the extra time to go on a walk or read. However, I go to bed at 8pm bc I need i hours of sleep. I guess it’s just the same as waking up at 6am besides the fact that you do everything 2 hours earlier. But as you mentioned, I’m a morning girlie as well and idk I just love it when everything’s quiet and not crowded at all :)
Loved this! I love an early morning gym session but fins weekends are fine but weekdays are super busy with all the people gymming before work. I love knowing I've still got the full day ahead of me and my workout is done!
This is such a great idea! I love when I can start my day early, I always feel much more productive since I can done more work earlier. This video just gave me the motivation to try this experiment thank you for this video! 💚
I really enjoyed this video. This has inspired me to be more time conscious. I need to set a proper sleep routine my wake up times are all over the place
You've got to try the Japanese Kiss me mascara or the korean Neogen mascara. People have been ravvvvinggg about them! Def helps with separating and lengthening 🙌
Well, i guess that having an extra coffee before a social event to give yourself a social boost is A LOT better than having alcohol, like most people do for the same reason. 👌 💖
Nearly midnight for me so should really be sleeping but can’t resist watching as soon as you upload! Such a cool format of video - weekly vlog with a twist!
Loved watching this!! I am a 6am girlie through and through. But I was definitely inspired! However I already go to bed and 8:30/9 and pride myself on 9hours 😅
Interesting but i've been waking up at 5-530 for the better part of 4 years and I've pretty much had the same reactions as you waking up at 4am! Good in the morning but hit an afternoon slump and sometimes have a nap when i can!
Going to the gym between 3:30-5am is usually busiest especially with men because most are tradies who start work at 6-5am. I learnt that when I started going to gym best time for well my town anyway is between either 11am -2pm and then again at 9pm- 2am I usually go at 9:30pm and there might be one or two people there I’d sometime no one
When people ask why I get up at 5am and it’s literally just cos like gym anxiety and there is like no one there!! Except of course today when I was filming in my pjs for a competition haha 😂
I loved the video! I am not good at waking up early. Unrelated, I have a conditioned called misophonia where certain sounds really bother me. so sadly I always have to skip over any whispering or anything that is reminiscent of ASMR. I hope that it doesn’t stay trendy in videos/advertising forever. Makes watching RUclips hard and it’s my coping mechanism.
I can't nap either!!!!! It would be sooo helpful on days like New Years Eve, for example ... BUT it's not possible for me... There has been days where i've been a medication that has made me soooooooo sleepy, could barely keep my eyes open and even then, i STILL couldn't nap!! Grrr 😡😂🤷♀
I used to work 40 hrs a week and my job started at 4.30 am now I'm a sahm I work part time and finish at 11.30 pm lol I miss waking at 3 am! I used to nap around 1pm when I worked early mornings it's midnight very soon and I set my alarm at 5.45 am 😆 wish me luck!!
Loved this routine! As a mom to a little one, waking up early is not something I am interested in doing at this season! 😂😂 but when my nights are a little easier, I am looking forward to creating a good morning routine and this inspired me❤
@@RachelCatherine so you wake up before him typically too, I find it so interesting how peoples bodies are like naturally programmed to be an early riser. I can’t cope with getting up early but my partner is up early with insane energy and I can’t cope 😂

reading in the mornings is so so peaceful! I cannot recommend it enough!

Excellent vlog Rachel!

It's definitely worth a try! I hope you have fun with it 🥰

You've got to try the Japanese Kiss me mascara or the korean Neogen mascara. People have been ravvvvinggg about them! Def helps with separating and lengthening 🙌
Ahhh I'm so excited!! I'm sure it will be greattt

hahaha go to bed! 😂 but so glad you liked it!!
@@RachelCatherine would definitely be cool to have an update in a month or so to see how you’ve found it longer term!
Loved watching this!!
I am a 6am girlie through and through. But I was definitely inspired! However I already go to bed and 8:30/9 and pride myself on 9hours 😅
honestly I feel like everyone just has their own perfect amount of hours!! 9 hours sounds perfect! ❤️
you should join fernwood! it’s great women’s only little anxiety 😊
Loved this style of video! 🥰

yeah I definitely realised it was all the tradies going before work!
Such a motivational video 😊
What is the alarm app you use for it to say good morning? Love the video xx
thanks for sharing your time! i liked your make up share, what is the colour you use in the loreal foundation Rach?
When people ask why I get up at 5am and it’s literally just cos like gym anxiety and there is like no one there!! Except of course today when I was filming in my pjs for a competition haha 😂

I wish I could nap 🥲
I used to work 40 hrs a week and my job started at 4.30 am now I'm a sahm I work part time and finish at 11.30 pm lol I miss waking at 3 am! I used to nap around 1pm when I worked early mornings it's midnight very soon and I set my alarm at 5.45 am 😆 wish me luck!!
I definitely would not do well with finishing work so late 😵💫 but you've got this!! Good luck!!
Not me literally watching this video when I literally went to bed at 4am last night 😂😭
Loved this routine! As a mom to a little one, waking up early is not something I am interested in doing at this season! 😂😂 but when my nights are a little easier, I am looking forward to creating a good morning routine and this inspired me❤
That's so understandable!! I definitely don't think I could do it during other busier seasons of life!
love this 💛🙌🏾
Really liked this video ❤️😊 I feel like I would just be soo tied but maybe I will try this as well 😄
love this 💛
Ouhhh i love your shoes in your first workout! Would you mind telling me what they are ? 😊 thank you!
They're Nike Air Max 270's and I got mine from JD Sports 🥰
As someone who goes to sleep at 4am, usually even later (or earlier), I can't relate but I wish I could 😭
hahaha so fair! I have never been a night owl so that sounds crazy to me!! But I love that we can all find things that work for us 🥰
What time does Li normally wake up in the morning typically and does he wake up early with you when you film these?
11:00
6am! & he just continues his normal wakeup time despite when I get up! 🥰
@@RachelCatherine so you wake up before him typically too, I find it so interesting how peoples bodies are like naturally programmed to be an early riser. I can’t cope with getting up early but my partner is up early with insane energy and I can’t cope 😂
Where is the white set from you were wearing??
I would love to know too!
Princess Polly!! It’s one of my faves!!
I have to laugh a little that you are so shocked the gym is busy at 5am, most people tryna workout before their job
I mean good for you
