Hour of Power

My Hour of Power is (roughly) one hour spent after fighting the biggest battle of them all – waking up @ 6:30 in the morning.

It’s a fantastic hour spent exercising and listening to a book. I call it the ‘Hour of Power’ because it achieves many things at once – makes me feel good about myself (exercise unfailingly delivers), gives me tons of energy to start the day and of course, gets me started with a book that generally gives me some food for thought and/or a new perspective on things.

This is the 3rd week in a row with 3-4 days of the ‘Hour of Power’. I hope to re-commit to it every single day.

The challenge every morning is the initial inertia to get out of bed. I’ve resorted to calling a close friend every morning at 6:30am so I give myself that additional boost.

Shouldn’t I be excited to wake up and do something that is both good for me and that greatly adds to my happiness? Apparently it takes a little more than that.
