As a Muslim, our religion has recommended that we wake up early before sunrise to perform the first prayer, which is the fajr prayer, and thank God for the blessings and gratitude. Our Prophet Muhammad also said, (meaning) that waking up early will be blessed and there will be enough time for everything.
Oh yes, early mornings offer a wonderful opportunity for personal reflection and rejuvenation, especially after a restful night's sleep. I typically wake up around 4:00 AM to enjoy some quiet time before work. My morning routine includes activities that help me start the day on a positive note, such as devotion, exercise, and preparing my meals. I also appreciate the cool, refreshing mornings in Jamaica, especially now that the days or so, so hot 🥵, up to 34° C. Thanks to God that I work in an air conditioned environment. As the old Jamaican saying goes, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." There's certainly a lot of truth in that.
Agree. But when in the summer the crazies move the clock one hour behind and the last prayer is at midnight at the first at 4. People need to demand that they stop w summertime. Very unhealthy.
I LOVE waking up early. I go to bed around 10 and get up around 6. No phone until 9am. Have a cup of warm lemon water, sit outside in the sunrise and then do yoga before having breakfast. It’s a great way to start my day!
Well said! As a mom of young kids, I’ve been waking up early as a form of self-care. It definitely helps me establish a sense of purpose, control, and peace of mind 😌
Thank you for encouragement, I actually wake up naturally 4:30am but thought just something wrong , went back to sleep to get up at 5:45am and I am more tired. Thank you I will just get up now at 4:30pm to do my time with Bible and fun things that I want to focus on :)
Aww, I’m so happy the messages in my video resonated with you! The difference between waking up at 4:30 am and 5:30 am was a mystery to me too, until I learned more about the body clock! ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing this video. All other videos of waking up at 4:30am were done by people who don’t have children yet.. your video was so helpful and relatable to me as I am also a mother.. waking up early would mean so much to me, to get a moment of peace and quiet, to achieve my personal goals in life.. I can never sit and do my personal works with a peaceful mindset with my little toddlers wreaking havoc at home throughout the day. 😄
As a fellow mom of young kids, I completely understand! Waking up early in the morning became a form of self-care for me. When the kids are very young and not sleeping through the night, waking up early might not be possible. But as they grow older and establish regular routines, like going to preschool, I felt it was the right time to reclaim my identity-not just as a mother, but as myself. I'm rooting for you, your family, and your goals! 🙏
Likewise. When I started to intentionally wake up early for me to take a walk/jog, it gave me a sense of freedom and boost of energy. I am a first time mom, and my toddler is really at the stage of being "clingy," and setting aside time for myself is really important. I am both a mom and an architect, and both are really time consuming. 😅😅😅
@@amihandecastro9139 It sounds like, even as a first-time mom, you're doing an amazing job taking care of yourself and your family! Way to go, fellow mama! 💪 P.S. I worked at an architectural company for a while, so I understand how meticulous your job can be!
Fellow mom here, totally agree! My personal work goals have totally been hampered with lack of time and I keep trying to wake up early but these little guys need me in the night too 😫 hoping to get this early morning thing going
I love that there is someone else who can wake up after 6.5 hours and says it’s ok! I’ve been shaming myself for not being able to get 8 hours of sleep for years! Yay, waking up early is a good thing!! It’s also easy when you’re going through perimenopause! 😅
I’m glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I’ve read that getting 7-9 hours of sleep is recommended, but for now, my schedule seems to work really well with 6.5-7 hours 🌞🌿 Thank you for your lovely comment!
I'm dealing with the perimenopause insomnia issue too. I've been awake since 1am and it's 3:30 am now. I would give anything to have some kind of a semblance of a healthy sleep schedule. I'm at a loss.
@@aquaseahorselove3939 I feel you so much. I’m trying all sorts of remedies right now even progesterone cream is not able to help me. I will circle back when I find one that works!! Wishing you peace during those awake hours in the middle of the night! You are not alone!!
truthfully, eating properly and leading an organized life, helps one feel energized early in the morning. Asians generally eat much better than the rest of us, and that is a huge advantage. Be the Change in your own world everyone! Thank you for this video!
Me as a Muslim and other Muslims too might wake at 3am to pray the first prayer of the day Salat-ul-Fajr as our beloved Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him )taught us Such an amazing religion ❤

I’m so glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I believe that, in some ways, our lives need to reach a certain point before we’re ready to make a change. I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge on your morning journey! 🌞
I got up today at 5 am. I was so tired and said I won’t do that again I thought it just wasn’t for me but then your video popped up. You have inspired me to give another shot. Thank you I will follow some of your tips.
I love your content . Since I watched your vlog last week I was encouraged to wake up at 4:30 am. Today is my 10th day🎉. Been struggling at the 1st week but I thank the Lord he is giving me the will power to do it. You are right when u said you should have reason or your big why for waking up at 4:30 am. Hope you make more content of self improvement. God bless u more ❤
I'm totally with you! When I didn’t wake up early, I felt like I was always rushing and caught in the repetitive cycle of daily responsibilities😞 I’m rooting for your mornings!
Yes! The lack of a reason to wake up earlier is exactly why it doesn't stick for me. I love waking up early for the airport or for an activity that other people are expecting me for. It's exciting and energizing that way - I'm trying to brainstorm ways that I can do that for myself everyday.
Brilliant! It's fascinating how our mind influences our body's reactions. Experimenting and finding ways to get our brain excited for our airport trips is definitely key! ❤️🔥
Excellent idea about moving to a different room. Writing everything down with some detail on my calendar the night before. And preparing my Bible,Devotionals, Journals, and crafting supplies too. Yes! I know I can do it! I mean I will try my best!! Thank you!!! You’re AWESOME!!!💯🙏🏻😊⛱️
Thank you! I’m going to do this today. I have insomnia so I often don’t sleep til 5 am. It’s awful, but I’m going to get up, take out puppy for some fun and get some sun on my face. I liked the “prepare the night before” tip best. I have a long list of things I want to accomplish, but ironically, I’ve been a working (and teaching) calligrapher for 35 years. Cheers~
I’m so glad you found value in some of the tips I’ve shared! ☺️ I’ve really noticed that doing some 'mental preparation' the night before makes a huge difference in my productivity. And 35 years of teaching calligraphy?! That’s impressive!! ❤️🔥
I am a miracle morning member... After reading the miracle morning book, it revolutionalized my life. In fact, I opened my RUclips channel after that encounter... Your WHY is all it takes
This all absolutely matches with my own experiences. I'm a practicing muslim and we have fajr to pray just before sunrise, and after sun rises it is not recommended to sleep for 45 minutes, as this is the time of the day that you start your work and it is an extremely important period to get ahead as it has a lot of barakah. We also have hadith saying we shouldn't stay up too late after praying the isha, which is the evening/night prayer. All this combined, I've experienced a huge amount of peace and efficiency from my days where I go to bed early and wake up early. You also already wake up on your own after a while, at crazy hours like 4,5,6 AM, and you actually feel energized. The only exception to this is when my work schedule affects me, as I have very little time at evenings to actually do everything I need to do before going to bed early. This also showed me how work and economic state of a person can be a strong, very very hard to change cause for their unhealthy lifestyle, so while I'll absolutely stand by the point of waking up early, I also understand not all people will have the means to do so because you'll feel like a machine after a while and evening activities may also be a big temptation. Great video that touched on all the points I've personally experienced as well. 👍
Well said, and I truly appreciate you sharing what resonated with you and your own morning journey🌞 It’s so true that not everyone can afford waking up early every single day-it doesn’t have to be morning to find balance. For example, even for me, when my kids were younger and needed more care throughout the day and night, I couldn’t wake up early at the time. I believe that finding balance and contentment can be unique for each person. My hope is that by sharing my journey, others might discover and establish what works best for their own situation and style. Thank you again for your lovely comment!
Thank you very much for sharing your insights! 😊❤ God bless you for putting HIM before calligraphy. 🤗 I needed to hear this. It will make this venture to be a morning person much easier and worthwhile.
This was one of the most helpful morning routine video I’ve watched! Love how down to earth and authentic you are and all of you tips resonated with me. I too found I have more energy and an easier time waking up at 4:30 am than 5 and keept trying to make myself sleep until 5 only to be really grumpy. Now I know why and can stop trying to stay in bed longer and just embrace it!
Thank you for your lovely comment! 💕 I completely understand-there was a time when I thought waking up at 5 a.m. instead of 4:30 a.m. would make me feel more rested. But I found that I often felt even more tired or couldn't wake up at all at 5 a.m. I wish you all the best for your beautiful mornings! 🌞
Immediately after waking up is typically when I feel at my worst, physically, mentally and emotionally, so dragging myself out of bed is an ordeal. A few years ago, I did get into the habit of waking between 2-3 AM to have a couple quiet hours alone, but this was mostly fear-motivated. The early schedule was nice in some ways, but I found it stressful to keep up. After a few months, when the weather started getting colder and I started feeling a winter slump in energy and mood, I went back to my normal habits of staying up late to have the night hours to myself. I kind of want to get back to an earlier schedule, but finding a compelling enough reason to wake up is my biggest hurdle.
Thank you so much for sharing your morning journey. 🙏 You’ve highlighted many important and relatable topics, such as our common struggles with anxiety and the added challenge of waking up early during cold, dark winter months. I’d suggest making your morning routine something you can share with others. Some people post their morning routines on social media (simple photos with a timestamp), which can provide feedback and interaction that might be motivating in the beginning. I’m rooting for your mornings! 🙌
7am is already afternoon for my mom, I remember she will shout at us every weekend, HOYYY WAKE UP NOW IT'S ALREADY NOON! GOD SPREAD BLESSINGS ALREADY AND YOU ARE STILL IN BED!" 🤣 We always wake up at 4 or 5am in the morning because there's a heavy traffic in Manila to get to work or school, leaving your home at 6:30am you are late already 😊
Ahh, coming from an Asian background, I remember those early mornings waking up to beat the traffic. I can almost hear your mom’s voice waking up the kids! LOL. Blessings to your mom and your family! 🌞
I struggle to wake up at 7:30 am. I can't sleep early since my family won't let me; they're the type to blast the tv and music till 2 am and make me stay with them, so I can't sleep. Also, my father believes young people don't need more than 3 hours of sleep since he had to sleep almost nothing cuz he had to go to work (cuz of us). I hope when I'm finally free I will be able to sleep and wakeup early.
Am also have the same broblem I always go to bed 2:00 Am and wake up at 12: pm and that's really make me lazy all the day am struggling to wake up early.
Your message really touched my heart. I completely understand how there are factors beyond our control that can affect our ideal lifestyle. It might sound cliché, but I always remind myself that this too shall pass. If you continue to believe and wait for the right timing, things will eventually come together. My prayer is with you and your family. This quote always brings me encouragement, no matter the situation: 'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' 🙏
This was an inspiring video. I used to wake up at 4am when I was in school, during our exams but it was a chore and I could never recreate that. Having a compelling reason to wake up, and the 'Pain of not making a significant change greater than the pain of waking early' resonated deeply for me. In India the time between 4 - 5am is considered auspicious where I grew up and we were told it was a special time and we can retain more of our studies if we wake up at that time. I am looking forward to being a morning person and I have already a list of things I am excited to do when I wake up early. Thank you for sharing your journey :)
What a beautiful message! My heart is full knowing that so many points in my video resonated with you. I'm thrilled to hear that you're 'excited' to explore your morning journey. I truly appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best on this path! 🌞
RUclips has sent me a real gem 🤗. This is exactly what I need I have been trying to give myself time for me in the evenings for a while now, things always get in the way , it’s been driving me crazy….. Morning routine time for me 😳 it’s a no brainier but I have never ever thought about it. I’m a start things new on a Monday and tomorrow just happens to be Monday . My time has a start thank you x
Praise the lord Sister. Thank you so much for wonderful and practical sharing of wake up early. I learnt and gathered much significant insights from your lovely sharing. God bless❤
This is just what I have needed today! Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful video. I’ve been working to shift my life these past few years and keep getting bogged down in details that ultimately aren’t that essential. Thinking back on the more productive times in my life, it is easy to see only in retrospect that I was essentially doing this set of habits stacked together. Trying to remember what had worked, it was difficult to see that a sequence of thoughts and actions got me going and kept me consistent. Off to create some notes to remind future me the next time I wander away from a helpfully consistent set of habits.
Wow!! ON POINT WITH ALL INFORMATION!!! MOST POWERFUL VIDEO I’VE EVER SEEN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH MY WAKE UP SCHEDULE FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. But your tips are simple to do and inspiring. I feel like it’s a miracle when I heard you say calligraphy hobby or passion. I tried so hard but gave up. Can you please help me??🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you so much! You’re AWESOME!!! Mary. Wisconsin. SENDING LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO THE UNIVERSE. NEMESTI!!!💯🙏🏻😊❤️
Good video! Thank you! Before it popped on my field I committed to wake up at 6am so I can work on my Etsy shop. And then I saw your video, what a coincidence!
As a girl from a brown Household, one thing that irritates me when I try to wake up early morning is that When I wakeup I can't have "Me time " for myself. Once I wake up elder people or parents starts to give me errands to do and I want to give up things I like to do in morning.
Your story really made me reflect on many aspects, and coming from an Asian culture where multi-generational living is common, I can relate! I hope you’re able to find a space where you can quietly enjoy your own time-one that protects your personal boundaries while being discreet. I’m cheering you on in your morning journey 🌞🙏
you are so spot on in everything you’re describing here…. From 9years old to 26years old I got up at 5a:m I had never slept in But then I moved to Canada and people slept in on the weekends and I fell in the trap several times I got out only to get right back in when I’m comfortable or hiding 😂😂😂 In college I was back to early mornings, but as soon as I entered in my career job situation 😫😫😫😫 And because this has being in my subconscious every time I set the goal I returned to my nonsensical nonsense as real life steps in and the reason feels real because it is at the moment. so I really needed to see this today as we are going for the hundredth time or maybe thousandth I’ve lost count, but one thing with me I’ll never give up trying to return because it’s where all my successes lies in business and life 😊
Thank you for sharing your journey! I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge toward your personal goals and help refresh your morning routine. I really admire your determination to never give up! 💪❤️🔥🌞
I have advanced sleep phase disorder for nearly 4 years. I feel sleepy at about 7 pm, but I am usually not able to sleep. Normally, I can sleep before midnight, but I wake up at 4 am and can not go back to sleep. I wish I could sleep 7 hours and wake up at 6 am. I plan to use light therapy device to fix my circadian rhythm. I think you can set your circadian rhythm with light therapy device. Then you do not need will power to wake up at 4:30 am.
Very good video, while there are so many videos available this one surely captures practical tips. Also, your video editing is great. Could you help to know how you create such quality videos.?
Lol, I felt exactly the same a long time ago. But I’m glad that we’re both enjoying and cherishing our precious uninterrupted time, whether it’s in the morning or at night ☺️
Ive noticed the perfect time to be awake is around 640am or so, and i have tested this in multiple cities. At first I thought it was around 30 min post sunrise time regardless of location but thats not true. The reason it's special is because it's the time when most people are still sleeping. Most cities start waking up around 7, including my parents. So I have started to change my schedule to try to be awake around this time. I have tried 5am, but found it hard to eat so many meals a day. It felt psychologically stressful 😂
Thank you for sharing this, I tried it before getting up at 5 am, felt good but I gave it up. I'm trying again now for September , I find it hard get to sleep at night , I go to bed , but can't get the sleep needed in, means when I get up at 5 am, I can't go day without a nap, I feel guilty for having the nap, I set the clock for not have more than one hour , I just can't get the sleep in at night when I need it, I keep trying ,
Thank you for sharing your morning/night journey! My husband is just like you-he struggles to turn off his brain, so it takes him a while to fall asleep. He told me that establishing a bedtime routine helps, like avoiding screens, dimming the lights, using soft ambient lighting, and not drinking too much water before bed. Coming from an Asian culture where achievement is heavily emphasized, I used to feel guilty about napping too, but I’ve realized that a short power nap can be very efficient. I hope you find the sleep-wake routine that works best for you! 🌞🌚
As a hindu (sanatani) our religion always says to wake up in brahma muhurta means wake up before sunrise ❤ and waking up early in the morning help a lot to maintain a healthy lifestyle ☺️ proud to be a hindu 🧡 if everyone start to follow ayurveda in there daily life the world can get better 😊
i've been struggling a lot the past few months to wake up early. Now that i'm gonna start university i need to wake up early so i'm able to do exercises before going there. I don't want to feel miserable the first day so i need to start this week challenge.
I suggest getting your kiddos to bed earlier too so you can have more time with your hubby in the evening. Kids to bed at 9 rather than 9:30. You can explain to them it is better for them to get more sleep too. 😊
I couldn’t agree more! Putting the kids to bed always takes time, but thank you for the gentle reminder of how important it is to also spend time with our spouses ☺️
This was such an excellent video. From a mom of four, thank you so much!! I have rewatched multiple times and saved to watch again for inspiration. Question: do you keep the same routine on weekends as well?
First of all, as a mom of four, you have my utmost respect! 💪 I'm so glad you found the video helpful, and I'm rooting for you! I used to avoid waking up early on Sundays to keep my Sabbath, but after learning that breaking the cycle can be less effective for both your routine and health, I've been sticking to my 4:30 a.m. schedule every day, including weekends 🌞
Such a valid point! Waking up early is NOT a must, nor is it a magic pill for happiness. It’s different for everyone, but personally, I’ve found so much energy and order in my life through quiet morning times ☺️
I wanted to wake up at 6 this morning and start waking up earlier on my weekends but I ended up getting sick after midnight and was up most of the night. I didn’t get up till 10 and I had planned on doing a bunch of things today but now I am in bed snuggling my pooch! There is always next week!
Life often surprises us, and I always prioritize maintaining a healthy and sustainable balance. I try to go with the flow when unexpected events prevent me from waking up early, especially with young kids. You're absolutely right-there's always another chance to try again! I'm rooting for you! 🌞💪
That's a great question. It made me think for a while to come up with a helpful answer. 🤔 I believe it’s not easy for anyone to have a 'compelling reason' to wake up right from the beginning, and it can change throughout our life journey. And that’s okay-in fact, it’s perfectly healthy. Finding 'that reason' can be understood as discovering what you love or even who you are. So, I think it's important to take time to reflect on yourself-what you love, what you don’t like, what makes you smile, and what you want to become. Try learning different things, follow your heart, and explore. Sometimes, your reason to wake up doesn’t come automatically, but in the process of learning and exploring, you might find something that gives you purpose. In fact, the process of finding your reason could be your reason to wake up. Consider journaling, reviewing and planning your life or even just your day. I’m not sure if this fully answers your question, but I believe that by asking such a genuine and thoughtful question, you're already on the path to finding your own reason for waking up in the morning. 👍⏰
Thank you so much Ma'am for answering my query. You have answered it perfectly. You have shown a direction. I have also tried to get up early before but failed repeatedly. I will Again give it a try.
When I lived in cold Alberta, Canada, the winter days were so short that I totally understand how uncomfortable it can be to wake up in the cold, dark morning and come home in the dark night. I hope you can make the most of the daytime sunlight, perhaps by taking a walk! I’ve noticed that getting some Vitamin D can really help with our overall mood ☺️
It hit me when you said, "Sometimes, it's easier to make a hard decision when there are no other choices." Thank you for such an inspiring video.
ㅜ😮
Same thing here 😊
💯😇

I resonate with how waking up early can create such powerful and productive extra time in our limited 24 hours. Thank you for your lovely comment 🙏
In Spanish we have this quote: “Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda”, is básicamente the same principle, pues madrugar es levantarse antes del alba

I wanted to have slow mornings, maybe this should be my motivation to wake up earlier
I'm totally with you! When I didn’t wake up early, I felt like I was always rushing and caught in the repetitive cycle of daily responsibilities😞 I’m rooting for your mornings!
Yes! The lack of a reason to wake up earlier is exactly why it doesn't stick for me. I love waking up early for the airport or for an activity that other people are expecting me for. It's exciting and energizing that way - I'm trying to brainstorm ways that I can do that for myself everyday.
Brilliant! It's fascinating how our mind influences our body's reactions. Experimenting and finding ways to get our brain excited for our airport trips is definitely key! ❤️🔥
This is the problem I have, trying to think of a reason to get out of bed that makes me WANT to get out of bed 😕. I’m trying to find ideas…
Excellent idea about moving to a different room. Writing everything down with some detail on my calendar the night before. And preparing my Bible,Devotionals, Journals, and crafting supplies too. Yes! I know I can do it! I mean I will try my best!! Thank you!!! You’re AWESOME!!!💯🙏🏻😊⛱️
Aww, I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey! 🌞 Yes, you can do it!! 💪
Yay! Fellow Christian here 👋 sis
Thank you! I’m going to do this today. I have insomnia so I often don’t sleep til 5 am. It’s awful, but I’m going to get up, take out puppy for some fun and get some sun on my face. I liked the “prepare the night before” tip best.
I have a long list of things I want to accomplish, but ironically, I’ve been a working (and teaching) calligrapher for 35 years. Cheers~
I’m so glad you found value in some of the tips I’ve shared! ☺️ I’ve really noticed that doing some 'mental preparation' the night before makes a huge difference in my productivity. And 35 years of teaching calligraphy?! That’s impressive!! ❤️🔥
You need a good sleep schedule Have you ever thought of taking cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia or meds. 5am is wild!
I am a miracle morning member... After reading the miracle morning book, it revolutionalized my life. In fact, I opened my RUclips channel after that encounter... Your WHY is all it takes
Beautifully said! I’m so glad the messages in my video resonated with you. Let’s continue to flourish through our miracle mornings! 🌞
I mean, this type of content needs to be promoted more. Helpful and informative ❤
aww, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found helpful tips in the video for your morning journey 🌞
Such a decent lady I ever seen .... Stay blessed for the sharing ma'am ...
aww Thank you so much for your kind words and blessings 🙏💖
This all absolutely matches with my own experiences. I'm a practicing muslim and we have fajr to pray just before sunrise, and after sun rises it is not recommended to sleep for 45 minutes, as this is the time of the day that you start your work and it is an extremely important period to get ahead as it has a lot of barakah. We also have hadith saying we shouldn't stay up too late after praying the isha, which is the evening/night prayer. All this combined, I've experienced a huge amount of peace and efficiency from my days where I go to bed early and wake up early. You also already wake up on your own after a while, at crazy hours like 4,5,6 AM, and you actually feel energized. The only exception to this is when my work schedule affects me, as I have very little time at evenings to actually do everything I need to do before going to bed early. This also showed me how work and economic state of a person can be a strong, very very hard to change cause for their unhealthy lifestyle, so while I'll absolutely stand by the point of waking up early, I also understand not all people will have the means to do so because you'll feel like a machine after a while and evening activities may also be a big temptation. Great video that touched on all the points I've personally experienced as well. 👍
Well said, and I truly appreciate you sharing what resonated with you and your own morning journey🌞 It’s so true that not everyone can afford waking up early every single day-it doesn’t have to be morning to find balance. For example, even for me, when my kids were younger and needed more care throughout the day and night, I couldn’t wake up early at the time. I believe that finding balance and contentment can be unique for each person. My hope is that by sharing my journey, others might discover and establish what works best for their own situation and style. Thank you again for your lovely comment!
Thank you very much for sharing your insights! 😊❤ God bless you for putting HIM before calligraphy. 🤗 I needed to hear this. It will make this venture to be a morning person much easier and worthwhile.
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found helpful tips in the video for your morning journey 🙏🌞
This is the best morning video I've ever seen. Thank you!
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope you found helpful tips in the video for your morning journey 🌞
Thank you for your useful tips. Actually these are exactly moves I did to wake up at 4am as well, i love mornings
Praise the Lord! this is what I needed!!! Blessings!
aww Thank you so much for your kind words and blessings 🙏💖
Almost gave up on the idea of waking up early but this is just the motivation I needed will try again
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Thank you, I am glad I found your channel. Praise the Lord; may the Word of God that you read guide you and your family.
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words and blessings 🙏💖
This was one of the most helpful morning routine video I’ve watched! Love how down to earth and authentic you are and all of you tips resonated with me. I too found I have more energy and an easier time waking up at 4:30 am than 5 and keept trying to make myself sleep until 5 only to be really grumpy. Now I know why and can stop trying to stay in bed longer and just embrace it!
Thank you for your lovely comment! 💕 I completely understand-there was a time when I thought waking up at 5 a.m. instead of 4:30 a.m. would make me feel more rested. But I found that I often felt even more tired or couldn't wake up at all at 5 a.m. I wish you all the best for your beautiful mornings! 🌞
Immediately after waking up is typically when I feel at my worst, physically, mentally and emotionally, so dragging myself out of bed is an ordeal. A few years ago, I did get into the habit of waking between 2-3 AM to have a couple quiet hours alone, but this was mostly fear-motivated. The early schedule was nice in some ways, but I found it stressful to keep up. After a few months, when the weather started getting colder and I started feeling a winter slump in energy and mood, I went back to my normal habits of staying up late to have the night hours to myself.
I kind of want to get back to an earlier schedule, but finding a compelling enough reason to wake up is my biggest hurdle.
Thank you so much for sharing your morning journey. 🙏 You’ve highlighted many important and relatable topics, such as our common struggles with anxiety and the added challenge of waking up early during cold, dark winter months. I’d suggest making your morning routine something you can share with others. Some people post their morning routines on social media (simple photos with a timestamp), which can provide feedback and interaction that might be motivating in the beginning. I’m rooting for your mornings! 🙌
I’ve been trying to wake up early since 2021😂😢 love the video! ❤
7am is already afternoon for my mom, I remember she will shout at us every weekend, HOYYY WAKE UP NOW IT'S ALREADY NOON! GOD SPREAD BLESSINGS ALREADY AND YOU ARE STILL IN BED!" 🤣 We always wake up at 4 or 5am in the morning because there's a heavy traffic in Manila to get to work or school, leaving your home at 6:30am you are late already 😊
Ahh, coming from an Asian background, I remember those early mornings waking up to beat the traffic. I can almost hear your mom’s voice waking up the kids! LOL. Blessings to your mom and your family! 🌞
😂 reminds me of my mum.
JAYSUS - getting up at 4.30am to beat the traffic. I only wake up at 4am is when I am on a meditation retreat.
I struggle to wake up at 7:30 am. I can't sleep early since my family won't let me; they're the type to blast the tv and music till 2 am and make me stay with them, so I can't sleep. Also, my father believes young people don't need more than 3 hours of sleep since he had to sleep almost nothing cuz he had to go to work (cuz of us). I hope when I'm finally free I will be able to sleep and wakeup early.
Same. It'll happen one day. Just keep planning and working towards it.
😢😢😢
Am also have the same broblem
I always go to bed 2:00 Am and wake up at 12: pm and that's really make me lazy all the day am struggling to wake up early.
Your message really touched my heart. I completely understand how there are factors beyond our control that can affect our ideal lifestyle. It might sound cliché, but I always remind myself that this too shall pass. If you continue to believe and wait for the right timing, things will eventually come together. My prayer is with you and your family. This quote always brings me encouragement, no matter the situation: 'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' 🙏
@@FlourishedHope Amen!
As a high productivity person who fell off the wagon, this is all true. And I'm not a morning person. But the reasoning and strategies are on point
I’m so glad the messages in my video resonated with you. I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge towards your personal goals 🌿
This was an inspiring video. I used to wake up at 4am when I was in school, during our exams but it was a chore and I could never recreate that. Having a compelling reason to wake up, and the 'Pain of not making a significant change greater than the pain of waking early' resonated deeply for me. In India the time between 4 - 5am is considered auspicious where I grew up and we were told it was a special time and we can retain more of our studies if we wake up at that time. I am looking forward to being a morning person and I have already a list of things I am excited to do when I wake up early. Thank you for sharing your journey :)
What a beautiful message! My heart is full knowing that so many points in my video resonated with you. I'm thrilled to hear that you're 'excited' to explore your morning journey. I truly appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best on this path! 🌞
RUclips has sent me a real gem 🤗.
This is exactly what I need I have been trying to give myself time for me in the evenings for a while now, things always get in the way , it’s been driving me crazy…..
Morning routine time for me 😳 it’s a no brainier but I have never ever thought about it.
I’m a start things new on a Monday and tomorrow just happens to be Monday .
My time has a start thank you x
Oh, thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
@@FlourishedHope I started today 5 am I achieved so much organised my morning routine for my first week of me time . Thanks so much for your reply. X
Praise the lord Sister. Thank you so much for wonderful and practical sharing of wake up early. I learnt and gathered much significant insights from your lovely sharing. God bless❤
This is just what I have needed today! Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful video. I’ve been working to shift my life these past few years and keep getting bogged down in details that ultimately aren’t that essential. Thinking back on the more productive times in my life, it is easy to see only in retrospect that I was essentially doing this set of habits stacked together. Trying to remember what had worked, it was difficult to see that a sequence of thoughts and actions got me going and kept me consistent. Off to create some notes to remind future me the next time I wander away from a helpfully consistent set of habits.
thank you for this video, been trying to wake up early, but as a mom its very tricky. thank you for the tips, its encourage me to try again.
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey 🙌
Wow!! ON POINT WITH ALL INFORMATION!!! MOST POWERFUL VIDEO I’VE EVER SEEN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH MY WAKE UP SCHEDULE FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. But your tips are simple to do and inspiring. I feel like it’s a miracle when I heard you say calligraphy hobby or passion. I tried so hard but gave up. Can you please help me??🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much! You’re AWESOME!!!

Thank you for sharing! I'll wake up at 4:30! Hug from Brazil
I'm glad you found the video helpful! I'm rooting for your mornings and the wonderful changes they will bring! 🌞💕
Good video! Thank you! Before it popped on my field I committed to wake up at 6am so I can work on my Etsy shop. And then I saw your video, what a coincidence!
I’m so glad you found the tips in the video helpful, and that they came at just the right time! ☺️
As a girl from a brown Household, one thing that irritates me when I try to wake up early morning is that When I wakeup I can't have "Me time " for myself. Once I wake up elder people or parents starts to give me errands to do and I want to give up things I like to do in morning.
Maybe try to explain that you are trying to follow a new routine to get better results at school/university?
Your story really made me reflect on many aspects, and coming from an Asian culture where multi-generational living is common, I can relate! I hope you’re able to find a space where you can quietly enjoy your own time-one that protects your personal boundaries while being discreet. I’m cheering you on in your morning journey 🌞🙏
@hopeandprayers I’d say this is excellent wisdom, definitely worth trying! 🙌
@@FlourishedHope Thank you I should to try that ❤️
@@FlourishedHope yeah I will Thank you 🫂❤️
Once you make the decision, the universe will take care of the rest 😀😀😀😀😀
Well said! 🙏💖
Thank you, now I am motivated ❤
you are so spot on in everything you’re describing here….
From 9years old to 26years old I got up at 5a:m I had never slept in
But then I moved to Canada and people slept in on the weekends and I fell in the trap
several times I got out only to get right back in when I’m comfortable or hiding 😂😂😂
In college I was back to early mornings, but as soon as I entered in my career job situation 😫😫😫😫
And because this has being in my subconscious every time I set the goal I returned to my nonsensical nonsense as real life steps in and the reason feels real because it is at the moment.
so I really needed to see this today as we are going for the hundredth time or maybe thousandth I’ve lost count, but one thing with me I’ll never give up trying to return because it’s where all my successes lies in business and life 😊
Thank you for sharing your journey! I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge toward your personal goals and help refresh your morning routine. I really admire your determination to never give up! 💪❤️🔥🌞
Really good tips. Thank you ❤
You're a great mom!!!😃
OK, so I just wanted to comment that I tried it and it worked for me. I use your tips and suggestions and they helped.
i miss my morning routines. i am going to start this again!
I m also wake up 4:00 am. it’s not matter holiday or working day. Without any alarms.
Wow! Even to this day, I still need a gentle nudge from the alarm to wake me up, but it's amazing how your body clock is right on time! ⏰
This video literally helped me so much! Thank you for sharing! May the Lord bless you❤
Oh, I’m glad you found the video helpful! I’m rooting for your mornings and the wonderful changes they will bring! 🌞💕 May God’s peace be with you! 🙏
Great and clear additional information. I wll give it a try.
Thank you! 🌄
Oh, I’m glad you found the video helpful! I’m rooting for your mornings and the wonderful changes they will bring! 🌞🌿
I have advanced sleep phase disorder for nearly 4 years. I feel sleepy at about 7 pm, but I am usually not able to sleep. Normally, I can sleep before midnight, but I wake up at 4 am and can not go back to sleep. I wish I could sleep 7 hours and wake up at 6 am.
I plan to use light therapy device to fix my circadian rhythm.
I think you can set your circadian rhythm with light therapy device. Then you do not need will power to wake up at 4:30 am.
This was amazing! I'm going to copy your simple morning routine. Thank you so much!
I admire your dedication!
Great video. I am going to give this a try!
Thank you for your kind words! I am so glad you found the video helpful ☺️
Very good video, while there are so many videos available this one surely captures practical tips.
Also, your video editing is great. Could you help to know how you create such quality videos.?
The power of manifestation
Calligraphy - how nice. My grandad did that and I also wanted to do x
Yes, the history of calligraphy goes way back, and I hope my videos provide a gentle nudge toward exploring the beautiful world of calligraphy! ☺️
Thank you! This is very helpful. 🙏🏾
Thank you for this informative video!❤
God bless you and your family and your everything ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, your kind words deeply touched my soul. Thank you for your blessing, and peace be with you as well! 🙏💖
I have precious late night time. Always been a night owl. The thought of getting up at 4:30 am is disturbing 😂
Lol, I felt exactly the same a long time ago. But I’m glad that we’re both enjoying and cherishing our precious uninterrupted time, whether it’s in the morning or at night ☺️
I need 9 hours sleep but I am a night owl. I love quietness at night
Great tips. Going to try this tomorrow. Thanks! :D
Wow! This is what I need. Thank you!
Thank you for a very helpful and thoroughly explained video.
Thank you so much ❤
Excellent video - thank you for sharing!
Ive noticed the perfect time to be awake is around 640am or so, and i have tested this in multiple cities. At first I thought it was around 30 min post sunrise time regardless of location but thats not true. The reason it's special is because it's the time when most people are still sleeping. Most cities start waking up around 7, including my parents. So I have started to change my schedule to try to be awake around this time. I have tried 5am, but found it hard to eat so many meals a day. It felt psychologically stressful 😂
Excellent video, thank you Liz 😊
In Hinduism this time is called Brahma Muhurt..
And its very suitable for yog and pranayam practice
Thank you so much
was beautiful video Thank you
I loved your detailed video and tips. Thanks ❤
Thank you for sharing this, I tried it before getting up at 5 am, felt good but I gave it up. I'm trying again now for September , I find it hard get to sleep at night , I go to bed , but can't get the sleep needed in, means when I get up at 5 am, I can't go day without a nap, I feel guilty for having the nap, I set the clock for not have more than one hour , I just can't get the sleep in at night when I need it, I keep trying ,
Thank you for sharing your morning/night journey! My husband is just like you-he struggles to turn off his brain, so it takes him a while to fall asleep. He told me that establishing a bedtime routine helps, like avoiding screens, dimming the lights, using soft ambient lighting, and not drinking too much water before bed. Coming from an Asian culture where achievement is heavily emphasized, I used to feel guilty about napping too, but I’ve realized that a short power nap can be very efficient. I hope you find the sleep-wake routine that works best for you! 🌞🌚
As a hindu (sanatani) our religion always says to wake up in brahma muhurta means wake up before sunrise ❤ and waking up early in the morning help a lot to maintain a healthy lifestyle ☺️ proud to be a hindu 🧡 if everyone start to follow ayurveda in there daily life the world can get better 😊
I’m glad the messages in my video resonated with you. Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️
@@FlourishedHope welcome ❤️☺️
Tysm I am going to try this during school
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I'm rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
Thank you so much for your inspiring video 💜💜💜
Thank you 👍
Can you please share skincare and makeup tips please
i've been struggling a lot the past few months to wake up early. Now that i'm gonna start university i need to wake up early so i'm able to do exercises before going there. I don't want to feel miserable the first day so i need to start this week challenge.
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey and wishing you success at university! 🌞
I really liked this video!
Thank you for the amazing video!
I suggest getting your kiddos to bed earlier too so you can have more time with your hubby in the evening. Kids to bed at 9 rather than 9:30. You can explain to them it is better for them to get more sleep too. 😊
I couldn’t agree more! Putting the kids to bed always takes time, but thank you for the gentle reminder of how important it is to also spend time with our spouses ☺️
😊 Nice video!
This was such an excellent video. From a mom of four, thank you so much!! I have rewatched multiple times and saved to watch again for inspiration. Question: do you keep the same routine on weekends as well?
First of all, as a mom of four, you have my utmost respect! 💪 I'm so glad you found the video helpful, and I'm rooting for you! I used to avoid waking up early on Sundays to keep my Sabbath, but after learning that breaking the cycle can be less effective for both your routine and health, I've been sticking to my 4:30 a.m. schedule every day, including weekends 🌞
Thanks a ton for sharing , this is incredible helpful for me
I’m so glad you found value in the tips I’ve shared. I’m rooting for you on your morning journey 🌞
I wake up at 3 am, because tahajjud. I feel productive every day in my body😊
Wow, 3 AM is a whole different vibe! Keep up the good energy! 🌞
no need to get up so early and try to make reasons to do so….especially the world is unreal. Live what you like and you will feel happy😊
From this inspiring video, I believe that her getting up early is what she likes and what makes her happy. For you, it may be different.
@@ItCantBeJustMe123 yep I’m always feel happy at my lazy moment…😀
Such a valid point! Waking up early is NOT a must, nor is it a magic pill for happiness. It’s different for everyone, but personally, I’ve found so much energy and order in my life through quiet morning times ☺️
Thank you for your sweet comment 💕 I hope my video offers some food for thought for those of us seeking balance and fulfillment.
I loved this so much 💖
I wanted to wake up at 6 this morning and start waking up earlier on my weekends but I ended up getting sick after midnight and was up most of the night. I didn’t get up till 10 and I had planned on doing a bunch of things today but now I am in bed snuggling my pooch! There is always next week!
Life often surprises us, and I always prioritize maintaining a healthy and sustainable balance. I try to go with the flow when unexpected events prevent me from waking up early, especially with young kids. You're absolutely right-there's always another chance to try again! I'm rooting for you! 🌞💪
Thus is a great video!
Very well explained... Ma'am, please tell me what should I do if I don't have any compelling reason to get up early and still want to get up early.
That's a great question. It made me think for a while to come up with a helpful answer. 🤔
I believe it’s not easy for anyone to have a 'compelling reason' to wake up right from the beginning, and it can change throughout our life journey. And that’s okay-in fact, it’s perfectly healthy.
Finding 'that reason' can be understood as discovering what you love or even who you are. So, I think it's important to take time to reflect on yourself-what you love, what you don’t like, what makes you smile, and what you want to become.
Try learning different things, follow your heart, and explore. Sometimes, your reason to wake up doesn’t come automatically, but in the process of learning and exploring, you might find something that gives you purpose. In fact, the process of finding your reason could be your reason to wake up.
Consider journaling, reviewing and planning your life or even just your day.
I’m not sure if this fully answers your question, but I believe that by asking such a genuine and thoughtful question, you're already on the path to finding your own reason for waking up in the morning. 👍⏰
Thank you so much Ma'am for answering my query. You have answered it perfectly. You have shown a direction. I have also tried to get up early before but failed repeatedly. I will Again give it a try.
God bless you ❤
When you Muslim and can't wake up for alfjar pray and see that you feel ashamed of yourself 😢
Don't be! I hope my video can serve as a gentle nudge towards your personal goals and help refresh your morning routine. 🌞
thanks lady
love from Iran💙
I need to wake up at 5 am to go to work and I hate it. I leave home when it's dark and arrive home when it's dark.
ok
find a way to make yourself happy.
When I lived in cold Alberta, Canada, the winter days were so short that I totally understand how uncomfortable it can be to wake up in the cold, dark morning and come home in the dark night. I hope you can make the most of the daytime sunlight, perhaps by taking a walk! I’ve noticed that getting some Vitamin D can really help with our overall mood ☺️
Great video. Such helpful tips❤
