O'Clock - Stop snoozing your alarm clock #Prerna #BlogchatterA2Z

Every morning I set four alarms you know . Starting from 5 o’clock in the morning ,the others are set each  at a gap of 20 minutes , so as to make sure that I am finally out of bed by 6 o’clock  . When the first alarm rings , I always hit the snooze button and go to a beautiful tiny nap once again . So every morning I have 2-3 snoozes and then 2-4 alarms jerking me to finally get up and start my day . I have to hurry then so much for everything ,  quickly finishing kitchen work , packing tiffins and then myself  rushing to office . Thanks to my good time management skills.

How good it would be if the ring of my first alarm at 5 o’clock got me out of bed ? There would be no rushing at all . It would be a relaxing start to  my day . And i might find some time for walk or meditation or just enjoy the golden time when there is silence all around .

I need to find a solution to  stop snoozing my alarm clock . It’s not that I have’t tried it but if i say honestly , I haven’t tried it with all my heart . And  this  mind is also the culprit   you know – this feels happier to go into dreamy world in the small snooze time .

I have read much about the benefits of rising early in the morning . Let me recollect .

Benefits of rising early morning

  1. By rising early you can gift yourself with a golden hour everyday.
  2. Our spiritual books also talk of Brahma Muhurta or Amritvela –  the fourth pehar of night or the early morning time is good for spiritual practices . It is said that if one can get up during Amritvela (3-6am) one can be free of heavy mind and the clutter inside . If you are serious about it , there are larger chances of connecting with the supreme and feel calm inside .
  3. There is something very special about the morning silence .
  4. You can increase your efficiency by rising early .
  5. Many geniuses and big business owners have been using  their mornings to elevate their  success .

Tips which can be adopted to stop snoozing the clock:-

  1. Don’t keep your phone(alarm) alongside on  your bed . Put it on the chair or table , bit distant away.
  2. Go to sleep earlier , so that you have 6-8 hours of good sleep before your alarm rings at 5 o’clock. Even if you go to bed at 10 pm , it makes a perfect 7 hours of sleep till 5am.
  3. Have dinner atleast two hours before 10pm , so that your digestive system is relaxed by the time you lie down in your bed .
  4. Have a distraction free hour before your sleeping time . No scrolling on the phone !
  5. Start working on adopting the new habit of rising early . You will have to be strict , Push yourself .  First few days would be used up in breaking old habit , next few days would be the transformation time where the good new habit  starts to take over the old habit of snoozing and then finally the new habit of getting up early  will become your part.
  6. Read “The 5AM Club ” by Robin Sharma . He talks of maximizing productivity and activating one’s best health by adopting the early-rising habit .

I am reading the book “The 5AM Club” these days . I haven’t finished it yet but let me share an excerpt which can motivate you to have a control on your alarm clock .

I am yet to train myself  to stop snoozing my clock in the morning . This time I would try with all my mind and heart .

First let me complete #BlogchatterA2Z  and #Prerna . Then I would focus on my O’clock.

Zoning out and other tips to free your mind

Red zone , orange zone , green zone , we all are familiar with these terms now-a-days . The district where I live has been declared as a red zone . Red zone is the zone where there are quite a large number of cases of Corona virus infection and it stands a chance to spread rapidly . Orange zone is where there are few cases and it can be controlled with few efforts . Green zone is the one where there’s no virus infection as yet and we want it to remain a green zone . The same concept applies to our thoughts . Sometimes the life becomes a real struggle – there are conflicts with family , pressures at workplace , parenting burdens , health troubles , and there accompany them the stressful  emotions -frustration , anger , sadness , hatred , self-neglect , and many more . When such emotions pile up in your mind , you need to become very careful of your thoughts as your mind has entered a red zone . You have to work on your thoughts so as to avoid potential of community outbreak o...

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...
