Anthony Robbins recommends that the first hour of your day you should get up and do something that brings upon energy and enthusiasm. He mentions in one of his programs that he immediately goes out running every morning. Zig Ziglar recommends that the moment you wake up you should say "Oh Boy Oh Boy, today is going to be a wonderful day". I can do the latter, but thats as far as I get.

My problem is I have no energy for the first hour upon. In fact I don't start getting energy for approximately 2-3 hours after waking up (unless I drink coffee, which I have stopped drinking). There is no way I can conjure up the motivation to go out running (or even walking for that matter). The best technique I have created for morning motivation is to immediately upon waking grab, a notepad and write down a list of extremely easy tasks to accomplish within the first hour. This works sporadically (when I have the motivation to make such a list). I am looking for a way to truly gain energy after 30 minutes of being awake. I also eat very healthy and get approximately 8 hours of sleep a day. Does anybody have any advice on how to increase my energy levels in the morning?
