why did I do this... well hello guys I hope you're doing well and I cannot believe
that I am actually coming to do this I was thinking to myself attempt to do
this but you know what dammit I am going to do this I commit to getting up 5 in
the morning every single day for a week I have been talking about wanting to be
a morning person for such a long time now and I keep getting kind of close
like maybe I'll get up at 8 May 30 and feel really proud of myself but I keep
hearing about all these people who get up at like 5 6 o'clock and say that it's
totally changed their lives they're so much more productive and I want that for
myself I want to be more productive in my day because I do sometimes get into
habit of just leaving things until the last and then I stay up till like 2:00
in the morning getting them done but I really hope I'll be able to do this but
as you guys know I have kind of an up and down kind of schedule where overall
I make my own hours but sometimes things come up with auditions or jobs really
last-minute and I also work a part-time restaurant job so sometimes I'm working
until like midnight so that's the only challenge that I see really hindering me
this week where I have two shifts where I'm probably gonna get home at like
11:00 or almost midnight and will still have to get up at 5:00 a.m. so I'm gonna
try my best I just want to see if this works and I'm gonna bring you guys along
oh it's 5:00 a.m. let's go to the gym but in all seriousness I woke up at what
5:00 god I meant to go to bed at not 10:30 because my brain was like no this
is too early to fall asleep I probably didn't fall asleep till for sure after
midnight probably like 12:00 12:30 really I got like 4 to 5 hours of sleep
and since I don't have an early morning flight to get to or a job I have to be
at right now I'm just wondering why would people do this why would they
choose to feel this way when I could just go back to bed so easily but now
I'm gonna do this I'm gonna go to the gym
we just wrote this for you swag
Pedialyte to us work all right no sleep reckon baby all I do is work
all right don't sleep breast feed
pretty good right now the sun's finally out is 8:30 I believe and I'm just gonna
head home and take a shower have a second breakfast before I get ready for
work I'm working a lunch shift today gonna pop down to the mall sales and
hopefully not feel like I have to take 20 naps so I am back home now and it is
about 9:00 p.m. I will actually say that today went a lot better than I thought
it was going to go I actually felt pretty decent and had good energy up
until about 3 4 o'clock and then it went downhill fast I just kind of have been
in a daze for the last few hours and really feel my body just ready to fall
into bed any second I'm hoping that I can get to bed before 10 o'clock since I
have a couple more things to do before I get to bed but overall very happy with
my first day if tomorrow's even better that that would be a miracle
so slight bump in the road it's 4:00 a.m. right now um but I've been up since
3:00 I don't know why I fell asleep at like 10 everything was fine
woke up at 3:00 thinking I just needed a drink and can't go back to bed
so I'm having a smoothie listening to Eckhart Tolle
and if I still can't fall asleep I guess I will just start my day but I will give
myself the opportunity to nap for a few hours if need be during the day cuz
having two nights in a row getting four to five hours of sleep isn't that great
so today has been a lot harder than yesterday I got a little bit done after
I just decided to stay up and fight through being tired but it just got to
be too much that I had a nap from like 10 a.m. to like 1:00 p.m. I just got up
and I'm going over to a friend's house right now because I have the day off and
basically just gonna relax for the rest of the day because I am not in a
productive mood
Oh
so today was not great I feel like a pile of death even though I had that nap
I still feel exhausted and out of it and I did not accomplish as much as I would
have liked today but I think what I'm gonna do is actually maybe just show you
guys some snippets of the week and then kind of sit down at the end of the
experiment and actually tell you guys my final thoughts so you don't have to
watch like every single day so yeah wish me luck
Baretta media

you tell me that you're sorry I'm not sorry what you sorry for
need a little love

well hello guys it has been quite the week and I'm not gonna try and be
totally dramatic about saying this but I actually feel I was gonna say it like a
new person but it's a new version of myself obviously I did not think that
this would actually impact me as much as it has on many different levels while
there definitely was some great highs and some very low lows
the biggest takeaway that I think I actually got out of this whole
experience is realizing that I really was in a bit of a rut I actually had
this sort of belief that there was actually not that many hours in a day
and I couldn't get that much done in a day and you know it's ridiculous to
think that I could feel good for most of it and those were the beliefs that I was
holding while repeating the same kinds of cycles day in and day out so that is
obviously how my belief formed so for me to have this sort of shock to the system
I don't recommend for everybody that they go from like getting up at 10:00 to
getting up at 5:00 you know maybe find the middle ground which is probably what
I'll be doing going forward but it actually was great to have that shock to
the system because it was a totally completely different routine than I had
before and it forced me to actually like be even more in the present moment of
like okay well what do I do now like what would this new me do with you know
an extra four or five hours and while it was of course tricky some days to
actually get up at 5:00 when it's still pitch black out and if I didn't get to
bed like quite at 9:00 or 10:00 yeah like it did kind of suck but to be
honest the energy that I felt especially in the start of the day and the
productivity that came with it and feeling like I'm actually taking control
of my day of my life and making the most of things kind of
compensated for that I am so glad that I gave this a go and yeah maybe it was a
little bit extreme to do 5:00 a.m. but you know what
go big or go home it's the new year and yeah I would definitely recommend you
guys try this if you're looking to pep up your system and see what life is like
before the Sun is up I did not know that world for over a decade so I'm glad I
gave it a shot and I hope you guys enjoyed this video I would love to know
in the comments down below if you guys get up at 5 a.m. or would consider
getting up at 5 a.m. let me know down below but other than that I hope you
guys are having an amazing day keep being your own kind of beautiful and I
will see you soon bye guys
