I have been getting up everyday at approximately 5am for 30 days doing my morning routine. With all the extra time i make it a prioty to get to meditating, writing, setting a daily to do list, drinking some seriously strong coffee, do 100 pushups, situps, and squats, and then hitting a cold shower all before i go off to work. The 30 day challenge is short to the point brilliant e-book writen by Victor Pride (www.boldanddeterminedd.com). The basic premise is to challenge youself to live a superior life that is fueled by self discipline, will power, and no nonsense no exuse approach to living life. The 30 day challenge is not a gimmicy fitness program or some cheesy seeelf help book, its more of a self initiated boot camp.
It has not been an easy program to follow and their has been about four days i got up at 6ish instead of 5 and about 3-4 days were i did not get my act together to do the 100 pushups/squats/situps, as well as a number of days were i didnt check everything off on my to do list. I do feel subtle transformation especiaslly in my thinking after intitiating an intenese practice of discipline for 30 days. I feel more confident in my ability to make things happen, i feel more mental clarity, and alot more energy. The most stricking change this challenge has distilled in me is an extremely low tollerance to people bullshit and exuses. Something about getting up before the sun and getting things done and being highly focused leaves littllle room for people who are not on their game, are flaky, who make exuses, and who dont bring any value to the table. I plan to continue to wake up early hit the gym 5-6 days a week, contiue to take cold showers, refrain from masturbation, and also continue to make a daily to do list.
I would recommend this challenge to anyone who feels they want to push their edge, to challenge themselves, and most importantly to change your mental perspective on whats possible.
