TERRI: You know, Tony Robbins has something that he
coined the hour of power. I just kind of want to share
my thoughts, my response to the hour of power.
TERRI: Bonjour, my friends. It's Terri Savelle Foy
your cheerleader of dreams and I'm taping
here in my favorite city in the world, Paris, France. And
here we are by the most beautiful bridge. You've
probably seen this bridge in tons of magazines. It's called
the Pont Alexandre Trois. Do you see how gorgeous this is? Well,
I'm excited to be with you today and I want to talk to you about
something that I find crucially important. You know, Tony
Robbins has something that he coined the hour of power and I
just kind of want to share my thoughts, my response to the
hour of power. Now he claims to have taught this to celebrities,
professional athletes and Olympians training for the
Olympics, CEOs of fortune 500 companies, and he attributes his
success to practicing the hour of power. And it's all about
morning rituals and habits that you practice day in and day out.
Now, just imagine an hour a day. If you were to just take one
hour a day to invest in the hour power over the course of a year,
that's 365 hours that you just added to your life. Or you know,
divide that by 24 hour work or just a day, that's 15 days
attitude your year. Just investing one hour a day in
yourself. So Tony Robbins, you know, he coined that phrase, the
hour power. Some people call it the golden hour, heard someone
today call it the holy hour. But the point is it's about routines
and rituals. Well, what is the hour power? This is what Tony
Robbins recommends. 20 minutes of prayer, meditation, 20
minutes reading, you know, in personal growth and 20 minutes
of exercise. So if you were to do that, just imagine how much
you would grow. Spirit, soul, and body. Well, I started doing
this in 2002 I started adapting the hour of power into my
morning ritual. Now over time, I began to increase the 20
minutes, you know, of exercise to 30 to an hour. But I started
with that hour of power, the 20 minutes of prayer, meditating,
20 minutes reading in 20 minutes of exercise. I have to say, in
my opinion, successful people have successful habits and these
three are the most common that I've recognized among the most
successful people in the world, and these three are the most
important. That's my response to this. And you know, people have
even asked me, Terri, you know, here I am in Paris. Do you still
practice your morning rituals when you're traveling, when
you're in another country like this? And to me that's like
asking Terri, do you still brush your teeth when you travel?
Because of course I do. The thing is when something has
changed your life as drastically as like the hour of power or
morning rituals, morning routines, when something has
changed, your life has drastically as it's changed
mine. You can't imagine not doing it. In fact, just the
other day, now this is funny because when I do travel, my
schedule gets a little jacked up. When I'm home, I try to go
to bed between nine and 10:00 PM every night and then I get up
around five four 45 five o'clock well, I'm very rigid when I'm
home. Well, when I travel, I can't go to bed, you know,
between nine and 10 sometimes, especially in France, these
people eat super late, you know, so we go to bed at midnight and,
but the thing is, I always try to back up my schedule three
hours before I need to be somewhere. So if I had to be
somewhere at 10 o'clock, then I'm for sure getting up by
seven. Well, the other night we're just enjoying Paris. We're
having so much fun. I administered to the Hillsong
leadership team. I did an interview with Hillsong, we went
to dinner with my ministry team here, you know, and we're just
enjoying Paris. Everything's going great. And we gave out
books all over the streets of Paris teaching people about the
love of Jesus. Anyway, get back to the apartment, took all my
makeup off. It's already like 12:30 at night and put my
jammies on. I'm getting ready for bed. All of a sudden I hear
my daughter and we're in this apartment that we rented here in
Paris and she is screaming, Momma, oh my gosh, there's a
rat. I mean, she is freaking out. Okay for me and her, that's
like the worst thing in the world is a mouse or rat. Well,
I'm freaking out. I'm going, God, give me strength. Give me
courage. I run in the dining room, jump on down the table and
I'm screaming to telling her to come in there. My point is, we
were freaked out. I had to text. I didn't know what to do. Do you
call the police? Do you call the army, so I texted my CEO, who's
here, he's a few miles away in a hotel. I was like, I hate to do
this, but please get here now, you know, I'm basically saying
mice have invaded the apartment. I exaggerated a little. Anyway,
he gets there, he helps us pack up our luggage and we got out of
there. Well, we checked into a hotel, three o'clock in the
morning, finally go to bed. But here's the thing people asked
me, do you still keep your morning rituals in your
routines? Fortunately, I didn't have to be somewhere until noon
the next day, but I got up at nine o'clock, backed it up three
hours, got up, spent time with the Lord, spent time in personal
growth and spent time exercising. So the whole point
in telling you that is that morning habits, rituals,
routines will change your life, but you have to stick with it.
So think about it. Prayer, the first habit, prayer and
meditation, that's the most important one. And it's if an
hour is too much, start with 10 minutes, 10 minutes of prayer,
meditating, 10 minutes of personal growth, 10 minutes of
exercise, do something. Let's stick with it. You know, in your
prayer and meditation habit, that's where you're going to
gain clarity for your life. You know, when I've had to make
tough decisions and I don't know what to do, and you almost feel
confused, you know where I've gotten the wisdom, the answers,
the direction. It's in that 20 minutes of prayer. It might just
be five minutes, but it's in that quietness, that stillness
of the morning where you just get to be alone with the Lord
and just ask him and write down what you hear. The most
successful people in the world, they journal during their prayer
time. The other one, personal growth that's reading, reading
books about getting out of debt, reading books about eating
healthier, reading books about how to improve your marriage or
how to be a better parent, just investing in yourself. And then
that third habit of exercise, you know a lot of people,
especially my age, complained about not having energy. Well do
you know exercise actually gives you energy. We think it's going
to be draining, but it actually boosts your energy. It boost
your confidence, it boosts your metabolism, it improves your
self image and your confidence. So you know, I heard someone say
they defined the word poor as this P. O. O. R. Do you see
this? P. O. O. R. It means passing over opportunities
repeatedly. And you might say, what opportunities are you
talking about? I haven't had any opportunity. I'm referring to is
the opportunity every day to get up and to invest in yourself.
This is what will drastically change you from being in a Rut
to getting into a routine that will lead you to your dreams. In
fact, Zig Ziglar said, stop calling me alarm clock and alarm
clock. He said, call it an opportunity clock because every
day that alarm goes off. It's an opportunity for you to get up
and invest in yourself. So I totally agree with the hour
power, the Tony Robbins coin, and I want to challenge you. Do
something every day. Start with five minutes. Start with 10
minutes. Do something to get up and invest in you. So from
Paris, France, the most beautiful city in the world.
