The Brutal Truth About Mornings

“Damn, this hurts. Where’s the coffee? Shit, I forgot to brush my teeth.
why is my body is super achy—like on fire.
Ok… maintain, just get up. Breakfast? Eggs are enough… or wait, I don’t have time for breakfast.
Damn, I have to be on that call in 5 minutes.”

Sound familiar?

The exit from the dream world can be one of the most painful transitions of the day.
The birth of a new day? Sometimes it feels more like a rebirth into the fire of hell.

I used to dread it. Leaving the cloud of non-resistance—my warm bed—for a cold, unforgiving world of to-do lists, deadlines, and pressure. Sound dramatic? Maybe. But maybe you’ve been there too.

The Grind Wakes Up With You

Have you ever started the day achy, groggy, underslept, jet lag or worse—hungover?

Still, you’ve managed to build a business, support a family, maybe even lead a team. You’ve made something out of a half-functioning body and a fried nervous system.

Maybe it didn’t start this way. But after a few bad nights and a few bad habits, this version of reality crept in.
Now, it’s your baseline.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

What If You Could Wake Up With a F*ck Yes?

Imagine opening your eyes with energy. Clarity. Drive. Not a perfect morning, but one that sets the tone for a fuck yes kind of day.

A fuck yes morning becomes a fuck yes week… becomes a fuck yes life.

I’ve Been There Too

There was a time I drank at night, ate late, and smoked weed before bed. Sleep wasn’t a priority. Movement was spotty. I’d hit snooze again and again, trying to buy a few more minutes of peace.

I was starting each day behind.

And then I realized:
How you wake up is how your day will go. Period.

The Shift

It started with a YouTube video by Abraham Hicks. Something clicked.

I realized sleep wasn’t the enemy. It was the reset button I wasn’t pressing correctly.
The problem wasn’t my mornings — it was the 16 hours before them.

That’s where I made the shift.

3 Habits That Created My “F*ck Yes” Mornings

💤 1. Prioritize Sleep Like It’s Sacred

Sleep isn’t optional. It’s the baseline of health and performance. And if your sleep sucks, your life will suffer.

Here’s what helps:

• Fast 3 hours before bed (your body should be repairing, not digesting)

• Stop drinking water 2 hours before bed (hello, fewer midnight wake-ups)

• Move your body daily to regulate sleep rhythms

• Try magnesium or sleepy tea

• Practice mindfulness to dissolve stress

Studies show fasting before bed can reduce insomnia and nighttime reflux symptoms.

🔥 2. Reconnect With Your Vision

Waking up aimless? That’s the killer.

You don’t need motivation. You need meaning.

If your “why” has faded, your mornings will feel like quicksand. Maybe you’ve:

• Lost touch with your vision

• Achieved your old goals and now feel stale

• Outgrown the mission you once loved

Reconnect. Revive the fire.

❄️ 3. Get Cold First Thing

Cold water is a game changer.

• Start small: splash your face or try a 30-second shower

• It raises dopamine for hours

• You train discipline and reset your nervous system

• The rest of the day feels easy after facing discomfort head-on

Cold plunging reduces fatigue, depression, and boosts dopamine for hours.

Bonus: 📵 Stay Off Your Phone for 2 Hours

Just try it.
Aim for 4 days a week. Give yourself space to be sovereign.

No inbox. No notifications. Just you.

The Results?

Now, I wake up grounded and grateful.
My body aches 2.275% of what it used to.
My mind is clear. My mornings are mine.

Some days my ego still resists the cold. But I remind myself:

I am the captain of my mind and the owner of my soul.

And I do the damn thing. And every time—I’m grateful I did.

A Final Thought

If you’re waking up focused only on money, work, or obligation…
If you’re waking up groggy, achy, or mentally fogged…
Something is out of alignment.

Wild animals don’t get ulcers. They don’t stress about sales funnels.
Neither should you.

You deserve to wake up with a fuck yes.
Not someday. Now.
