Here is how I started waking up early everyday: 1. Removed my phone from my bedroom: I found my phone distracting before going to bed and after I woke up. I would spend 45 minutes needlessly scrolling. 2. Placed an alarm outside my bedroom: This forces me to physically get up to go turn it off. By the time I do that I'm already awake and it's hard to go back to sleep. 3. Immediately Start Purposeful Work: Within 30 minutes of getting up I start working on a purposeful project. I enjoy the work I do so it makes it super easy to get started.

[@Ju-Peter667]

This is how I started waking up early. 1 go to sleep 8-7hrs before you wanna wake up. 2 wake up. 3 done 4 dont be an idiot, you have human instincts that will wake you up after you slept enough. Simple as that

I have been waking up at 5 since the start of the year and what helped me was alarmy(you can set challenges in it), I wake up -> it asks me to type 2 sentences and I gain some consciousness and then it asks me to do 10 squats and after doing them I have the energy to go to the bathroom, wash my face and go on with my day. Best for someone like me who used to struggle with waking up early.

I've made videos about this myself but Goggins expresses it far better than I ever could... sleep experts will disagree with me here but my personal experience is: if I sleep from 10PM - 5AM, I feel FAR more motivated than if I sleep 10PM - 5AM then snooze til 7AM... just being awake and getting stuff early while it's still dark out feels godly... even if the second half of my day ends up more 'relaxation mode', its worth the sacrifice of feeling a bit sh*t and cold for about 2 minutes... They say "if you lose an hour in the morning, you'll spend the rest of the day trying to find it." I couldn't agree more!

I developed a method for getting up early and its served me very well. I started by setting myself a soft goal, like just get up before 7:30am. I did this and then when I did was I recorded this time in a file on my phone, then the next day I set a goal that was just to beat this time, it could be even 7:29am. When I did that I kept going until I got to 5:30am. I rarely want to be up before 5:30 so I'll get up between 5:30am and 6:30am. I started this over a year ago and by now its ingrained in me. What kept me going at the start was that I made a game out of it, i was always trying to beat my previous time and when its like this it becomes fun.

That's great I just don't find it necessary. If someone gets up at 05:30am, 07:00am, 08:00am, or even 09:00am that's up to their individual biology. Every person is different. Some people are better at getting up at 4:00am and others it wrecks them. There is no One Size Fits All standard on physical and mental health. Someone else's challenge might be to sleep an hour later than the normal time they get up, for example, and they feel better when finally accomplishing that. What drives me nuts about these motivational vids on KZbin is they keep pushing for a singular answer. There is no singular answer. Each person and their circumstance may be different.

Your purpose is yourself. I have never thought of that and was not ready to really take that in until today. I'm so glad I saw this, specifically right now. Thank you!

I was walking 3.8 miles every other day and now if I listen to David Goggins the whole time I can go 7 miles! It's great motivation!

What do you listen to, do you listen to him on Spotify or somewhere? Thanks in advance for the help.

This year so far I've been getting up and sticking to my routine because I want to change and I want to be a better version of myself physically, mentally, and spiritually and David Goggins helps me alot by motivating me by what he says! He is a true badass warrior

[@filipinoaye1494]

This is, in my opinion, one of the best segments of a podcast ever!

[@seanm5263]

No money can buy David’s state of mind and ability to achieve what he has done. He is one of the most interesting people to listen to.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I don't know how this guy hasn't received some sort of title or accolade for his work on motivating others, just imagine how many people he's helped get healthier and stronger mentally

[@LifeandAnxiety]

I love you Mr. Goggins. Your struggles speak to me. Gives me hope in myself.

Sitting with a guy once that was in great shape. He was 72. He said “ I owe it to my family”. That was it for me.

Success is a mindset. Without a successful mindset, you will never be successful. It's crazy how powerful the human attitude is. We have the power to change and shape our entire reality, but a lot of us don't even know it. A lot of us think that we can't control what happens to us and that we can't do anything about the situation we're in. But this is so untrue. So many people have the potential to be so much more and they don't even know it.

[@PatriciaGabrielaTorres]

Agreed👍💯

The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional

Heard of him in April this year and his book "Can't Hurt Me" has been a revelation in changing my mindset in the way I approach life in general. Thanks DG for inspiring, I'm now driven rather than finding motivation from somewhere. Stay Hard!

[@aloeblack8853]

Love goggins. Wouldn’t be who I am without him and his content

[@bringerod5141]

This really hit the nail on the head of what I’m going through right now. Going from a young adult into someone where the pieces are starting to fall together, someone I can respect and call a true adult. It’s a beautiful thing, like a butterfly finally starting to fly after being in a cocoon for so long.

[@magnemmar4869]

Absolutely agree. That is the most difficult thing to accept and to keep accepting day after day. When my off-season starts and the gap between then and the start of the next season, it's about mental discipline to keep training. Maintaining the sense of "this is what we do now" and avoiding quitting. That's when you must move forward. When you absolutely don't want to do it. That's when it is most important.

[@dulichion]

I used to do all these things and then some, but Ive gotten older and fallen off a bit, this is all I needed. Thanks Goggins.

[@XenobraneStudios]

Goggins is amazing, I love that he dedicates his life to the pursuit of self actualization. He pushes himself forward every day.

With the help of Joseph Sullivan Anderson, an investment advisor, I've been investing since last summer and have so far made about 630k. I have to admit that using the appropriate strategy when investing yields fantastic results.

[@ElijahWolfe108]

I'm not too familiar with a lot of the financial terminology and I'm basically financially illiterate. I was wondering if you can recommend any books, courses, programs, learning tools to help me understand more about money, investing, wealth, finances, stocks, banking system, and everything in between.

[@FinnDavis309]

There isn't a lot of digestible quantitative analysis content out there and it takes some getting used to that's why I rather leverage aid and so far it has been a great ride. Just had my 8th profitable month Investing with the help and analysis of a regulated professional Investor/Trader. Got into the investment market with $100k and I just hit $630k today!

Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I'm 39 now I'm seeking for a more effective investment approach on my savings? plan my retirement

[@FinnDavis309]

The advisor I'm in touch with is Joseph Sullivan Anderson, he was interviewed on CNBC mid last year. You can use something else. for me his strategy works hence my result. he provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.

[@ElijahWolfe108]

Using his full name, I was able to easily locate your coach Joseph Sullivan Anderson online, and I was very pleased with the thorough background check I conducted on him before making contact. He's obviously very knowledgeable and experienced, and I'm delighted to be able to speak with him.

Your purpose in life is you......mind blowing! Goggins is a genius!!!

[@100point1percent]

By far the easiest way for me to get up at 3 or 4am is my NIGHT routine. Eating dinner as early as possible (5 - 6pm) then nothing else, because digestion steals tones of energy. Secondly, meditation before sleeping. Thirdly, going to sleep around 9 - 10pm = waking up before 5am ... no alarms needed. Adding Goggins powerful perspective "YOU ARE THE PURPOSE" ... and bam LFG !!!!

[@Minecraftfreaks5]

Getting up early is so satisfying, you are just so much more productive. You wake up, eat go to the gym go home and it's still early in the morning. Waking up 3-4AM is just a game changer to your life.

[@mehditate]

I wasted years out of my life. NEVER AGAIN... I remember the past 8 years, I was so broke I couldn't even afford a meal. I had to realize that at that point that no one was going to walk me through things in life and I had to do this on my own and figure out everything alone. I now live in the nordic woods of Sweden and post about self improvement after surviving a great ordeal in life, from the Boston bombing attack to being homeless, depressed struggling with an anxiety disorder and other mental disorders before I studied my pain and got certified in therapy. I used it to heal and run my own business and also move out of Miami where I worked in a corner store overnight in one of the most dangerous hoods in Miami. I am so grateful I got out, because I knew the other route, and it was not going to end well. I hope I get to help at least one person reading this, I just started uploading weekly videos on KZbin as well 🙏🏽💜

[@mehditate]

@Santanosch Santosch I will most definitely keep uploading and get some good shots this summer! I survived it I was a few feet away, I smelt the smoke, I saw everything... and it was really detrimental to my mental health because I did not attend to healing it, I just pushed it to the back of my mind until I couldn't keep it there anymore...

Hi Chris, I recently found your channel and have watched several of your videos, and wanted to finally comment on this one as it really hit home for me.

Keep up the great work, bro. In greatness and friendship, Tommy

Healthy and Great Life is the Purpose, and David Goggins changed me. Thank You @Chris Williamson I love your podcast. I live in the world's second most polluted city Kolkata (Calcutta) and running outside made me allergic now I jog inside my ground floor 20 M corridor for an hour. Because Excuses are for Weak, I wish to fail again, fail to be weak and fail to stay in the comfort zone. Fail eating processed food and anything bad. I learnt failure in the right way is the necessity for greatness. Failing others expectations but not yours.

[@allamanholloway8404]

I been hung up on the idea of purpose in life for years because it feels like i had no passion for any craft that i do i get bored with things i thought i was passionate about in the beginning so when that dies down i feel like im lost. But what goggins said about not needing a purpose to thrive and the only purpose is getting better at whatever it is is ur doing to be a better you. That really spoke to me and was something i needed to hear that i dont think anyone around me could have ever explained to me. Thank you.
