It is a beautiful weekday morning. You set your alarm for 7 am (like everyday), yet when it goes, you haphazardly put it on snooze, (also like everyday) eyes still closed, before eventually leaving the bed after 30-40 minutes, still groggy. Already running late, you rush through a shower and grab any morsel in the name of breakfast, only to get stuck in traffic. Sounds like a familiar story right? Well, we all know that waking up just 15 minutes earlier is going to make our day (and mood) better, yet why are we still unable to do it? Well, turns out, there is a reason for it.


Why does it happen?
American doctor Joe Dispenza says that habits such as inability to wake up early are the result of ingrained thoughts and patterns. It is important to reprogram ingrained thought patterns to break free from habits that keep us stuck. For this, he says, it is imperative to leverage the early morning hours for meditation and self-improvement, as this time is ideal for resetting your mind and creating new habits.

How to get rid of these patterns?
Dr. Dispenza explains that by the age of 35, most people’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors become automatic due to repeated experiences that have lasted decades. These patterns are deeply ingrained in the subconscious mind, making it difficult to change them, at least immediately. This automaticity leads to a cycle where individuals feel stuck, repeating the same thoughts and behaviors daily. Breaking free requires conscious effort to reprogram the subconscious mind and create new neural pathways .

The repeat cycle
The repetitive nature of these hardwired patterns creates a sense of stagnation. People often wake up thinking about past problems or challenges, which triggers emotions tied to those memories. As a result, they start their day feeling discouraged or victimized. Dr. Dispenza suggests that this cycle can be disrupted by adopting intentional practices in the morning that shift focus from past limitations to future possibilities.

How to reprogram the subconscious?
To break free from limiting patterns, Dr. Dispenza advocates reprogramming the subconscious mind through meditation and visualization. He recommends dedicating time each morning to focus on your goals and imagine yourself living your ideal life. This practice helps align your energy with your aspirations, creating a mental blueprint for success. By consistently engaging in these activities, individuals can replace old habits with new, empowering ones.


Make your mornings count
Dr. Dispenza highlights the early morning hours as a powerful time for personal growth and transformation. During this period, brain waves are in an optimal state for learning and reprogramming. He suggests using this time for meditation, physical movement, and learning something new to set a positive tone for the day. These practices not only boost energy, but also help individuals take control of their lives by starting their day with purpose and focus.
