Ryan Daniel Moran wakes up at 5am to work out, do meaningful work, and spend time with his kids before his depression kicks in around 7am. He says getting ahead of it this way has helped him regain momentum in his life.
About 7am.
Before about 8:00 (8 o'clock).
I've struggled with anxiety and depression most of my life, and it's always been the worst. In the morning I wake up and I go, oh shit. Another day I find that my depression wakes up at about 7am so if I wake up an hour to two hours before it wakes up, I get out ahead of it and I beat it. And then if I get a hard workout in and maybe even get some work done and I'm present with my kids all before 8 o', clock, my depression anxiety doesn't have time to get in there. It's been a huge change in my life, waking up before 7 o' clock and doing meaningful work and doing something good for my body, and it has created a sense of momentum that I haven't experienced in years.
