Why it's so good to get up early

Why it s so good to get up early

With Deargoodmorning.com, Lienke de Jong wants to inspire people to get up earlier and start the day energetic.

What are the benefits of getting up an hour earlier?

“By starting the day with something you enjoy, you become fitter, happier and therefore more successful. For example, due to my busy job, I no longer had time to exercise, so I started doing that early in the morning. And so every day I was full of energy and with a positive feeling on the train to work. My company is now my full-time job, but my day still starts the same.”

How do you motivate others with Dear Good Morning?

“By showing what it has brought me. These four steps are important:a good sleep rhythm, actually getting up an hour earlier, doing something that gives you energy and motivation. Be proud of yourself that you make time for this, then you  better keep it up. After nine days something really changes and after thirty days a routine is established.”

What if you are not a morning person?

“Make sure you have a clear goal. Only you can kick yourself out of bed, so what's your motivation? If you know what you're doing it for and really want something, it's easier. Just do it!”
