Why we really snooze
Listen the first key point

The wise saying, “You Snooze, You Lose,” has a deeper meaning than what many people think it does. The problem is always deeper than just getting another 15 minutes of sleep. The life you are living might not be the one you want. Therefore, your subconscious sees no point in letting you torture yourself. When you postpone getting up until you have to — meaning you wait until the last possible moment to get out of bed and start your day — what you are actually doing is resisting your life. Why wake up to something meaningless?
The reason you don’t want to wake up is that you are living someone else’s life.
Even if you agree but changing your life right away seems impossible, you can teach your brain that you need to wake up with the first alarm.
Step 1: Set your intentions before bed
Think of several pleasant things you are planning to do the next day. We usually wake up with the same thought we went to bed with. However, please do not dwell on your plans for too long because you’ll find it harder to fall asleep.
Step 2: Move your alarm far from your bed
This is the best trick you can play on yourself. When your alarm starts ringing far across the room, you will have to get up to turn it off. You will not be likely to return to bed, as your energy already started flowing through your body.
Step 3: Brush your teeth
You need to find one useful activity that does not require mindful concentration. You can brush your teeth, stretch, or start making your bed. This will give you time to wake up. Most importantly, don’t pick up your phone to scroll through social media. It will only make your brain agitated, leaving your body still asleep.
Step 4: Drink a glass of water in its entirety
Water, water, and water again! Drink a glass of water, room temperature. Not in one gulp, of course. Water hydrates you, and you need that because the lack of it in your body causes fatigue and headache. Moreover, it helps your stomach wake up, and that buddy has the potential to have your entire organism up and running.
Step 5: Get dressed in your workout clothes
Clothes we wear project a particular image not only for others but for us as well. When you put on your sweatshirt and sweatpants, grab your running shoes, you have no other way than to go ahead and start your workout. The author suggests that instead of a shower, you can break a sweat.

In order to optimize your ability, morning exercise is important because it brings you into a peak mental, physical, and emotional state so that you can win the day. ~ Hal Elrod

Convince yourself to keep quiet
Hal Elrod walked us through 5 easy techniques that will help you wake up effectively. Yet, the question of unwanted life remains valid. Waking up in the morning, you may feel full of regret for unfulfilled potential right in the middle of your mediocre and somewhat miserable life. You cannot live for years, ignoring how you feel. Some of us lack the willpower to face our problems; others wish they could do it but don’t know how to. Here, the Miracle Morning Life S.A.V.E.R.S. come into play. These caps stand for six inspiring, meaningful, and transformative daily practices. They will help you develop one or several aspects of your life — physical, spiritual, intellectual, etc. What is more, by practicing your chosen routine thoroughly, you will be able to figure out what holds you back in life. Empowered with this knowledge about your-self, you will be able to move on to living the way you want to.

Everything you need to be motivate, to learn & to self improves is all here. I actually do appreciate the reminders because otherwise this wouldn’t work for me. Thank you
Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.
An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned
In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.
The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
This is outstanding best app ever and honestly whoever came up with is my app is an absolute genius kudos my gratitude definitely goes out and I’m only on my first week free trial and I’m certainly going to purchase this app annually. Now that I have it, I can’t even imagine living without it.
