"You may be tired of me having a midlife crisis every single month" hahaha, I can totally relate, but I agree that it's good to keep changing

[@susanna.g]

Never ever tired of you starting over again. I so relate. And it’s beautiful the way you turn yourself to ash every time and rise on your own again and again. That’s strength and beauty.

[@analinalino]

I love this too, it feels so human

[@monica_.]

Yes! I wanted to comment the exact same thing. There's humbleness and strength in this I agree with you Susanna. I tend to do this too, and I'll continue starting over until I feel like I have something to learn and areas where I can improve :)

[@rc27td]

Early to bed and early to rise,makes you healthy,wealthy and wise.

Successful people don't read what successful people do to be successful. ;) They just do what helps them to be more effective and waking up at 5am might not be the universal advice. Do what's right for your body and mind.

[@littlelily4]

I completely agree. Listen to your body above everything

[@samtracy8072]

creating a habit of waking up at 5 AM has honestly been one of my biggest goals for myself for the past 1.5 years or so and every time i tell myself i am going to create the habit, i always find excuses not to. i'm going to use this video as motivation for myself to just do it already!

[@laurawestenra]

I love going to bed early and waking up at 4:30 or 5am because it takes all the anxiety out of getting up and having to rush to work/school. I used to get terrible insomnia because I would dread and worry about that feeling about having to wake up and hit the ground running.

[@crocolagerfelden6142]

Why do you do that? To become successful or to feel better physically and emotionally? Ask yourself that. Because if you want to be as successful as Bill Gates then go find a passion and work your ass off or come up with a brilliant idea that caters to the needs of other people and also work your ass off, don't try to emulate his bathroom schedule. If you want a "routine" that will work for you, you should find a custom-made solution that will cater to your specific needs and make you healthier and happier.

[@simonetonnaer9442]

Great video! Loving your honesty. A few tips (I've done this myself as well): 1. a sleep cycle lasts for 1.5 hours and then you are in your 'light sleep' again. Therefore, it's easier if you sleep for 6/7.5/9 hours, because then you feel way less tired. 2. Your body wakes up by itself the moment that you normally wake up (so 5 am if you've been doing this for a few days). The hours that you sleep after that, your body doesn't register. If you get less sleep than normally, taking a nap of 25 mins (equals the feeling of 1hr of night sleep) or 1.5 hr (equals the feeling of a few hours). Hopefully you get something out of this. This is a combination of stuff that I read and personal experience. X!

[@aidafarinaismail6080]

Can u explain the 6/7 5/9 bit

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

aidafarina ismail she meant to set your amount of sleep in 1.5 hour intervals. So getting 6 hours of sleep, or 7 and a half hours (7.5), 9 hours etc. 🙂

[@Mapoflife]

You seem like such a genuine person. I hope you start feeling better and less overwhelmed with your thoughts soon....sending positive vibes your way

[@BauAshley]

I broke with my bf 6 months ago and I’ve truly been so much happier and content. After I broke up with him and I decided to change. I started a routine of working out 5 days a week and now I love it. My body and mind feels better since doing this and now I’m 6 months into working out consistently. Break ups are not bad, it gives time to know yourself. 😀

[@constanzespreer8176]

Cornelia, that´s amazing! I´ve been actually waking up at 5 am during last summer and loved it. Did Yoga in the garden while the sun was rising. It is such a special time of the day. However, when November came and it started to get darker earlier in the evening and brighter later in the morning I didn´t continue. When I got up at 5 am in Novemer it would be pitch black outside until 8 am and I somehow coulnd´t handle that. BUT - I´m very determined to start waking up at 5 am again. Actually been thinking about this since a few days now and want to start tomorrow. Love that you shared your experience with it. Keep us updated on how it goes. We can support each other to thrive :) xx Constanze from Munich, Germany

[@phoebejohnson9194]

every single one of your videos motivates me to be better so thank you so much

[@melisalilos]

Omg i can relate so much! I worked at a hotel as a receptionist and i had to get up at 4am and work till about 3pm 😩.. it felt terrible at first and i was extremely tired but honestly after max. 2 weeks i got used to waking up so early 🙏🏻☺️ there are always bad days but once you get into a routine, it gets easier with time 👌🏻 i love how real and open you are you definitely inspire me and i enjoy your content a lot 😌😍

[@Uffygema124]

I love seeing this Cornila again. You have the spark in you again!

[@aumpo913]

Today I accidentally woke up at almost exactly 5 am. I've been thinking about getting up at this time for more than a year now. Starting tomorrow morning, I will try to continue getting up at 5 am and do this with you. You're timing with this video is on point. 😊💪💪👍 Much love 🦄

[@smilestaha]

I’m loving how you’re always willing to do something new different and exciting let me be you wowww

[@kepp6494]

I love you Cornelia so much! My inspiration and girl crush. Always grateful that I get to know on this platform and girllll that having midlife crisis in the middle of every month is soooo fucking relatable hhah

[@brigittte22]

I started work a shift that starts at 5 am and ends at 1 pm.. at first I hated it so much but I've been doing it 5 days a week for a few months now and it is my new favourite shift!! I wake up at 4am, have a coffee and pack all my things for work, and by the time I'm done work everyone else is still working and life is so much slower, I don't get stuck in rush hour traffic I don't have to rush home and make dinner.. it's just great.

[@Amourd08]

I admire your dedication. I can't imagine doing this because the earliest I'm in bed is 12am 😩

[@BlackBerryTrees]

I've been struggling with waking up at the same time everyday since the start of 2019 (and now it's march!!!) so here I go and I've set my alarm for 5:30 tomorrow!! Gonna post on my insta stories to keep me accountable!!

[@teresitaguzman5931]

[@madmadison88]

I love this video! I have tried this before but will again now thanks to you ❤️ I love early mornings, there’s something so special about them. But the getting up part is difficult.

[@verenawillburger7186]

[@marloumarie]

Oh my goodness! I just started getting up at 5 am !! It is amazing once your body gets used to it

[@wildm1104]

I wake up at 5 for 2 years...it's terrible when I have a lessons ...but when I have holidays this thing making me feel better for all LOOONG SUPEEER day😝

[@JasminKiefer]

So interesting to watch this 😊

[@user-rt2wc2qk9y]

Read about sleep cycles!!! it makes waking up so much easier! your body has a cycle of about 1.5 hours, so you will naturally wake up easier after 6 hours, 7.5 hours or 9 hours waking up in the middle of a cycle is bad and leaves you feeling tired

[@KellydelaCreme]

I did the same thing! totally know what you mean about the jet leg feeling. The whole first week was hard but the second week got much better

[@zacharybarnes2847]

mornings are amazing its hard to do but its so worth it been doing early mornings for 15 years now :)

[@junebergman2443]

Ahah I wake up 5 am for work everyday, my life feels sad I don’t even wanna wake up that early

[@stevecalvert6869]

I know what you mean June Bergman, I've had many different cycles of waking and sleeping and some do work better for me. These days, I see a lot people talking about the benefits of waking up at 5 am. It's a new fad, but it may work for some people. We are all different though. Personally, when I had to wake up at 5 am and go to work in a warehouse or driving a wagon, it offered no benefits. My days were always long and hard. Now, I work to my routine because I'm self-employed. It doesn't matter when I work. All that matter is that I get the job done. A few months ago, I fell into the habit of going to bed on an evening, waking at 2am, and then starting my day. At that time I felt extremely productive. I got my work done and then went for a walk in the afternoon. Will getting up at 5 am make you more productive? It might, but it depends on your circumstances and the kind of person you are. No one rule works for all. Personally, I have no set routine at all and am still exploring the possibilities.

[@illadelphzs47]

try 345 am

[@demon873]

The most important for me when I have to wake up early to work, is to wake up even earlier to do something for me only, reading, jogging, training, etc. That way I feel the day is mine and not just like a slave for the system.

[@wanderfulnomads7749]

You are so cute

[@josephinehoen4075]

I love that because it's all about intentions haha. Plus, so relatable

[@Elizabeth-mf3dn]

i am going to try waking up at 8am everyday! I left my job recently to become a freelancer surface designer and illustrator so i need to have a schedule that is still professional to stay in that mindset. That way I can also have some time to myself at the end of the day instead of working until midnight and passing out XD

[@Ugetsita]

Hi Cornelia, I’ve been following you for a while. You are a very likable, kind and sweet person. I admire your aesthetic taste and your creative expression. However, there’s something I must say. I have nothing personal against you, but this fanatic and dogmatic way of life (law of attraction, the secret and positive thinking) is something I just don’t buy. There’s nothing wrong with being optimistic, and nothing wrong with being pessimistic either. Indeed, having way too high expectations of success and wealth can be frustrating and lead people to depression eventually. The Secret, law of attraction and similar new age pseudoscientific thinking systems are nothing but the extrapolation of savage individualism to all areas of life (love, work, economy, family, and so on). I will explain this idea: "everything that happens to you is caused by your thoughts". This can be easily dismantled when we contextualize, as it’s not the same to be born in a developed country, with a well-functioning health system and accessible high quality education, than being born in an undeveloped country where every day is a struggle. According to law of attraction, a poor person in a poor society is the only responsible of his/her misery. This person should be thinking positively, writing lists every day about their dreamlife, spending money they don’t have as if they had it. And one day they will attract success. Oh, and if they don’t attract it it’s only because they’ve done something wrong. They are thinking too obsessively, or too few, or just not the right way. This ambiguity and impossible to prove cause-effect (with no scientific guarantee whatsoever) make law of attraction not a law, but a faith. And no, we are not responsible of everything that happens to us. How incredibly egocentric would that be. It makes me sad that people’s dreams gravitate towards this American dream, cheap literature, superficial and materialistic lifestyle. It’s OK to be critical, instead of naively believe in this self-proclaimed law; according to which, natural disasters, wars and genocides are also the result of the negative thoughts and frequencies of their victims. Sapere aude (Kant) .

[@NataschaO]

Maybe take a nap after lunch on days you are going out in the evening, or the day after.

[@miss_xenia_]

Love this! And hope it works for you! Maybe also read up about your biological clock ✌️ maybe that can help you. Personally, am most rested if I go to bed at 11pm and get up at 8am every morning - luckily my work schedule allows this. Figured this out with my Fitbit & a Journal. Also consider that 8hours in bed only means~7 hours of actually sleeping 😅

[@monikamaka1706]

If you feel like you can't breath in your head I recommend you to try meditating with mantra. especially with gouranga nitay gour mantra ( check this out on youtube). Why meditating with mantra od better then silence meditation is because we always hear sounds everywhere, we crave the sounds of music. So when you sit and do nothing its hard to focus your mind but if you gonna saying mantras while meditating its easier to focus on a sound that you are making and speaking this so you are not gonna focus on your thougths that easly. I can confirm it is working. (English od mu second language but I hope i understandable)

[@weriweronika]

The best would be to get up when the sun does I feel like thats a better motivation

[@Tommygirl268]

I totally agree! But she lives in Norway if I'm not mistaken and that would be quite challenging due to extreme darkness in winter and extreme sunlight in summer :)

[@goldiel0cks]

​@@realgar9588 That can't be true :D The daytime hours are different even between Hamburg and Copenhagen and those are closer together

[@annab3818]

@@realgar9588 same time zone but definitely not the same daylight hours. I live in the north of Sweden and my family approximately 400 kilometres South from me, and the difference is significant in mid winter and mid summer, even at that distance. If we Scandis in synced our waking hours with the sun I would be awake 4 hours per day in December, and hardly sleep at all in June and July. Not ideal.

I dont speak about the time zone hahah but god I could not live there already freeking out here lol

I love your channel Cornelia. Because you make videos to be better to live happier ...to love yourself and i learnt so much from you. I don't know how good you are know but i want to say to yoy what you said before. Love yourself. You don't need to think whyyy your ex boyfriend did that ...you need to learn to know early the bad things. Cause we know whenn something is not good in our relationships. For example i want someone who inspires me who are respectfull who are a little bit the same like me not someone who are soo far away from what i am. Sorry my english are baaad today.

[@kristineskrispo]

it's probably because of the norwegian tone of voice

@@nm4145 It could be kinda interesting tho, because I think alot of Norwegians speak like that, at least compared to other contries hmm.. Maybe most of us have a way of speaking that destroy our vocal cords over time haha

[@nm4145]

Krispolion the difference between her „normal“ way of speaking and a better, softer, more relaxed way is especially noticable at 0:23 when she says „why?“. There she has a soft way to articulate the word and to let it „fade“ more... but I like the Scandinavian style of speaking anyways, so please never change it completely! 😁💕

[@MrFENG79]

I think you are right about your boyfriend and I apologize if I previously said something harsh about him! He is still young and energetic and with all of the beautiful young girls around, it would be almost impossible for him to commit and be responsible! He won't be able to do that before he is around 40, but unfortunately, then you will be older than many other girls who would gladly accept to marry him! This is not my scenario by the way, it's a famous American female socialist who wrote that in a book! She advised young girls to get married and postpone college and career until after having families and kids, or else they would end up old and alone! I'm sorry that I don't remember her name or the book's.

[@goldiel0cks]

I have suggested this before, but I think going to university for whichever degree would really benefit you Cornelia with regards to several aspects of your life. It is not that a certain kind of mindset is imposed on you through uni (I think you might be afraid of that), but rather that you are empowered and have the tools to reflect on the world differently. And of course your enriched intellect facilitates you in understanding areas of life, even beyond your degree. I have completed a Bachelor's and Master's degree and anything but regret that. Please just give it a thought :)
