How do you motivate yourself to wake up early?

Question

For example, I set an alarm clock with a motivational affirmation and go for a walk with the dog. It gives me a powerful positive boost of energy!

Whats about you? :)

P.S. As the saying goes, how you start the day, that's how you spend it!

I will be very honest here 
For me it's not motivation, I just set 5 alarms one after another so it interrupts my sleep, and the very next thing I do after waking up is going to Gym which is my favorite part of the day so that helps!

No phone and coffee a few hours before bed. Then a lot of coffee in the morning.
I realized that I wake up tired if I go to sleep after staring at a screen for too long. 
After getting a good night of rest motivation comes on its own

I'm not convinced that what I have could be called motivation :) If I wake up enough early I can do more things which is always better. But if I feel I (body) need more sleep I allow myself oversleeping except very few cases like traveling or really important calls/meetings that could'n be scheduled on more convenient time. In other words, I try organizing my wake-up in the way minimizing violence toward myself. Meaning adjusting go-to-bed time to my body/mind state, knowing how long usually it takes to recover in each particular case.

Vel Rabe · Answer

I need motivation to get out of bed or I won't wake up, so I turn the alarm up loud and put it on a closet or some hard to reach place. In general, if this stage is passed, then everything goes fine, otherwise I turn off the alarm clock right in my sleep

Svyat Dvorecki · Answer

I don’t force myself to wake up earlier if I don’t see the reason for it. And when there is a goal to get up - for the sake of the pool, ski races, cool work projects, or something else, then I easily get up
