Repeated mountings will encourage the horse to stand still when it's mounted. Further reinforce the behavior by rewarding the horse with a pat and a treat for not moving off as you mount. Just make sure not to give the horse treats or praise when it wanders off or moves as you mount. Each time you mount your horse, give it a treat from the saddle. This makes your horse associate mounting with treats, which will make being mounted a more positive experience. Many horses take at least 2 weeks to become used to being mounted. If the horse stops in response to your correction, reward it immediately with a pat and a carrot or other treat. Food can be a powerful motivator for horses, so if the horse knows that it will get a tasty treat for standing still to be mounted, it is much less likely to walk away or shift position. If the horse is stubborn and will not stop, just keep putting your foot in the stirrup, without trying to mount. When the horse finally stays still, reward it with a treat. Repeat until it consistently stays still for this stage. Once you are seated, sit still for 10-12 seconds before you start riding. Take this time to slip your right foot into the stirrup and make sure you have a strong grip on the reins. When you do decide to move, it should be your decision, not the horse's. Once the horse understands this, it'll stand still once you've mounted until you direct it forwards. Enjoy the ride! If you start riding as soon as your rear end hits the saddle, the horse will anticipate this and start to move away before you're fully seated.

One-sentence summary -- Mount the horse 6-7 times until it stands still each time you mount it. Reward your horse with a treat when it stands still for mounting. Adjust the stirrups and reins once you're seated.

Article: Many people crave the extra 6 to 8 minutes of sleep provided by the snooze button. However, hitting the snooze button will actually make you feel more tired. When you hit snooze, you immediately go into an early sleep stage. Being interpreted early in the sleep cycle causes you to become more groggy and tired than you would have been without those extra minutes. Set your alarm for when you really plan to get up. Do not set it a few minutes ahead of time to give yourself the pleasure of hitting snooze. When your alarm goes off, get out of bed immediately. It may feel awkward and uncomfortable, but remind yourself that you're doing yourself a favor. Keep thinking of the extra energy you'll feel forgoing the snooze button. You often end up mildly dehydrated in the morning, as your body has gone so long without water. Dehydration can make you feel tired or groggy. As soon as you wake up, drink a glass of ice water. This will help make you feel alert and energized as you proceed through your morning routine. Natural sunlight can help you feel awake in the morning. As soon as you get up, do something to get some sunlight. Try pulling back the curtains in your bedroom or stepping out on the porch for a few minutes. This may help wake you up, allowing you to proceed through the morning with more focus. During winter months, you may want to invest in a light therapy box. This is a device that simulates sunlight that you can purchase online or at a department store. Use a timer on your phone or alarm clock. Set the timer to go off every 10 to 15 minutes, and keep an eye on the time. Try to keep every aspect of your routine, such as breakfast and showering, within short time frames. This will help you keep your pace up, allowing you to get out the door in time for your early shift. Keep in mind, this may be tricky for the first few days. You may not hit all your timeframes exactly, but stick with it and eventually you'll be breezing through your morning routine. If you have an early shift, do not skip breakfast to save time. Breakfast is a vital component of a morning routine. As you've gone 8 hours without food, you'll have an energy deficit in the morning that can be fixed with a healthy breakfast. Pick a healthy breakfast that energizes you. If you tend to feel an energy boost after some protein, try hardboiled eggs. If you tend to thrive on carbs, choose a healthy and complex carbohydrate like oatmeal. Also, in the interest of time, pick something quick to prepare. Try instant oatmeal or purchase precooked hardboiled eggs at the store. If you have time, a mild amount of physical activity can help wake you up. Exercise increases blood flow, providing an instant boost of energy. If you regularly hit the gym before work, that can help. However, you do not need to engage in intense physical activity in the morning. Even quick, light activity can wake you up for a day of work. You can try taking a brisk walk around the block, doing some light gardening, or even striking a few yoga poses in your living room. All of this can help wake you up in the morning. Some studies indicate your brain releases dopamine in response to music you enjoy. Try listening to your favorite song or band in the morning. This may have a stimulating effect on your brain, allowing you to go into the day with energy. Consider having a morning playlist that you listen to first thing in the morning. You can also set your alarm to be one of your favorite songs. This can give you an instant energy boost as soon as you climb out of bed. If you're in a hurry to make an early shift, it's a good idea to try and shower more efficiently. If you can cut down your shower time, you can sleep for a few extra minutes each morning. Instead of using shampoo and then conditioner, try a 2-in1 combination. Time yourself as you shower. Set a timer and keep an eye on it, striving to keep your shower time within that frame. Use lukewarm water instead of hot water. This will motivate you to get out of the shower quickly.
