ericadawn16 | Getting Up Early

So, I've been reading Leo Babauta and his tips for having a happier life, starting with getting up early:

Some of it is no problem, like getting up earlier than I used to, like 8:15 instead of 8:30, but then, he mentions:

"Sunrise. People who wake late miss one of the greatest feats of nature, repeated in full stereovision each and every day — the rise of the sun."

Yeah, I haven't gotten up that early of my own volition since college and that's back when I lived in Tampa where people don't leave security lights on all night and the sunlight streaked into my window in between the high rises.

So, I'm skipping that one but this one caused me the most trouble so far:
"Have a good reason. Set something to do early in the morning that’s important. This reason will motivate you to get up. I like to write in the morning, so that’s my reason."

Umm...good reason? I get up early where I immediately turn on the computer and see what's new on my email, LJ and the Torchwood section of DWF. I'm guessing that doesn't meet his criteria of "good reason."

Now, should I feel bad that my goals are that low or just make sure I write a page of one of my stories each morning or a more complete breakfast that's not just Danactive or just...screw the good reason clause?
