Wow this is so cool right in today's video I want to show you many hacks that
I've used over the years to go from somebody who's lazy to somebody who now
gets invited to speak on stages all across the world because they want to
find out how I managed to transform my life if you know my story a decade ago I
was addicted to a lot of drugs and I was actually involved with drug
dealing and I was hanging around with very negative people and you know in regards to
morning routines or morning rituals or waking up at 5 a.m. is non-existent I
was waking up sometimes noontime sometimes like literally past that 1
p.m. 2 p.m. and I didn't really care about the life I was living in that
sense I just kind of like just flowed with life in today's video I'm gonna
basically share with you 5 ways I was able to transform my morning habits and
in turn that's allowed me to really set myself up to win in a sense if you look
at the most successful people on this planet they're all early risers the
reason being is you are starting in ahead of everybody else
you've already the moment you for example you wake up to 5:00 a.m. you do
your morning routine which is 6 a.m. think about it most people don't even
wake up till 8:00 meaning you've now really set you set the game in your
favor and you've prepared yourself for the moment on the field and that's why I
want you to pay close attention especially to the final point and also
I'm gonna explain more about you know gadgets like this that I use so make
sure to pay close attention without further ado let's go on to the first
point the first point is you gotta get clear in regards to your WHY and I know
you're probably thinking but Tim I just wanna know some cool stuff that you do
supplements you take but the reality is this is surface layer stuff yes these
alarm clocks are really cool yes they help a lot but the reality is I'm sure
you've woken up before having watched loads of videos on waking up early but then
you still didn't do it why it's because of your WHY it's because you're not really
clear in regards to why do you wanna do that and we're not talking surface layer
here where you kind of ask yourself why do I want this right we're talking why
is the core thing that's driving you on a day-to-day basis what is that question
your your subconscious is asking the moment you wake up because most
people they allow this little voice to get the better of them
they never control it for example your mind is always gonna think negative
especially first thing in the morning if you don't wake up and so what you're
gonna basically say in the subconscious it's gonna ask questions
that's negatively oriented such as why do I feel so tired
your subconscious you're gonna answer back what is it gonna say you might as
well be back sleep right that's the reality for most people out there now if
you get clear as to what you truly value what you what your why is what you
want your life to be about how's you're gonna be remembered when
you tap into that deeper internal source that's when everything begins to shift
when I began my journey my transformation journey I realized I wanna
be able to contribute back to my parents my mum especially because she
was the one who literally created transformation in my life in a sense she
woke me up she woke me up to the fact that everything was going the wrong
direction and without her I wouldn't be where I am and she said Tim I've done
everything for you when I was when I was little she said Tim I had to work day
and night just to put on the food on table for you
she said however Tim when I get older will you be there for me and that's the
moment I got clear in regards to my why and so when I woke up in the morning that when
I first tried this stuff out I wasn't questioning my decision it was yes or
yes I'm getting up and that's why I began to do just I'm naturally compelled
because there's a great saying goes I was set by my mentor when your values
are clear your decisions become easy so you got to get clear in regards to what
is it why do you want this that is the first point the second point because
when you know nice little gadgets like this comes in handy and this comes after
you get clear on your way and this by the way is something that I've been
trying out recently and I would definitely recommend it for those of you
who been really struggling this is one of those luxuries in life you don't need
it but it's pretty cool what it does is this alarm clock emits a light and
it's a sunrise simulation and so for example if you set the alarm for 5:00
a.m. this will begin to light up around 4:30 and gradually gets brighter and
brighter just like this and what this would do is before your
alarm clock goes off normally you're already awake and even if this alarm goes off
you're gonna feel like is not so much here well I need to get up and just
quickly shut off the alarm clock which which could have some negative let's say
attachments anchoring from your subconscious thinking oh my god I hate
alarms this is actually more of when the alarm actually goes off this is more
like birds chiming and beach noises it's more of a calm soothing and you wake up
naturally it's really really cool if you wanna check this out by the way I'll
chuck some links above as well as in the description box below feel free to check
this one now and also another thing that I I do because I basically travel across
the world nowadays being invited to different stages to speak in front of a
lot of people as well as being invited to meet the presidents and so forth listen
I'm at the stage where I have to quickly adjust to a new time zone I've had it
when for example I fly out to Malaysia for a speech and I've got one day to
adjust and that's jet lag right after just into a new routine straight away
what do I use normally is a supplement that's called melatonin now
one of the things I'll mention is consult with your doctor or somebody
who's professional within this field and of course men's melatonin however it's
been really useful for me because it allows me to just quickly adjust to a
new time zone I take it for example when I land in Malaysia
I'll take it around 9 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in the actual in the in their time zone
and then what melatonin is going to do is gonna make you feel naturally sleepy
because melatonin is actually released in your brain naturally when you when
it's bedtime and so what I'm doing here is I'm telling my mind this is time to
sleep and I supplement this and the very next day I normally don't take
because I'm already quickly adjusted because naturally I'm gonna wake up if I
go to bed at 10:00 p.m. a naturally wake up around 6:00 and so I'm gonna wake up
at 6 and then when I wake up at 6 next during that day I'm gonna feel tired
around 9 or 10 meaning I've already adjusted to the new routine so feel free
to try that out because it's helped me a lot so you gotta make sure the second
point by the way is to make sure that you set yourself up to win by using
these tools and all of this great gadgets ok is that pretty cool awesome
stuff also I did want to mention this quick thing is in regards to no napping
during the day for me if I am adjusting to a new time zone and on that
throughout the day I am not gonna feel tired by the time it gets to 9 p.m. or 10 p.m.
that you should be going to sleep so make sure that you don't nap especially
when you're going into a new routine and I wanna make sure by the way that you
understand that you're aiming for eight hours minimum okay
in fact eight hours is a sweet spot don't try to go for nine or ten cause
sometimes if you sleep even more than that studies have shown that's actually
detrimental but if you sleep less than eight hours that is actually detrimental
as well so eight hours is the sweet spot so make sure you aim for the eight hours
by going sleep around nine to ten so that is the second point set yourself up
to win let's go on to the third point the third point is to create anchors and
remove the old what does that mean the moment you wake up in the morning
we have to realize is you know what your bedroom looks like you know how its
decorated you know the furniture you've got you know the posters you've got up
on the wall and all of this is anchored to your your old self and you're trying
to transform yourself right you would surely try to reinvent yourself meaning
what you can do is you can you can actually use the power of anchoring to
your advantage now let me ask you have you ever for example heard a song before
from childhood and it brings back good feelings and memories you probably have
right have you ever smelled something like a perfume Cologne and it brings
back feelings or memories right this process is called in NLP is called
anchoring so what we can do is when we're looking to create vast
transformation is we can redecorate the room we can set new posters on the wall
we can do all of this stuff because the moment we wake up our brain led to the
moment it wakes up it sees that wall has changed and this is basically basically
telling you subconscious that it's time to change in fact when I began my
transformation journey I went to the extreme of this I literally got rid of
all anchors in regards to friends I was hanging around with I got rid of rid of
like for example my my hair I used to have a really mushroom looking hair I
never used to have hair like this and I changed the cologne I wore I did
everything the way I dress body language and I'm signalling into my subconscious
that I'm literally gonna transform myself I'm fed up with being dead broke
and I was working as toilet cleaner at a time I did everything to change and
that's why my habits just became very easy because it's kind of
my subconscious subconscious knew that this is me transforming and so that is a
third point get rid of the old anchors and begin to set the new let's go on to
the fourth point the fourth point is is morning routine now you may be wondering
how does the morning routine help in regards to waking you up earlier whilst
it's more so once you're woken up what is it that you're doing first first
hour once you've woken up to charge you and fuel you for rest of the day cause
I found if I don't meditate if I don't journal with all of this stuff that I do
on a more on a daily basis I feel my time it gets the evening time I feel
stressed I feel overwhelmed thus it's so hard to go sleep early because there's
so much on my mind in regards to what I need to do more of and as a high
achiever as an entrepreneur you've gotta make sure that you have a morning
routine that that solidifies your base so when you're on the field when you
enter the whirlwind called life that you're able to remain strong so when you
get to the end of the day you feel like ah I feel that I feel like I deserve
that rest that's what you want and this is why we created so many videos to do
morning routines and I highly suggest you go check it out on our YouTube
channel success insider in fact I'm gonna chuck some links below in the
description box as well as in a card above if you wanna check out some videos
I've created to do with that as well so that's the fourth point make sure you
master the morning routine let's go on to the final point the final point which
leads perfectly from morning routine is the evening routine you look at the
highest performers on this planet they all have a wind down ritual for example
Richard Branson all of these great leaders like Alan Sugar they all wind
down in a specific manner they know something they've found out through
systemizing their life what keeps them very calm in the evening especially when
it's leading to sleep because the last thing you want when you're going to
sleep it blow the open loops in your life in regards to what you're thinking
about the different thoughts different emotions you wanna make sure that
you've closed every single chapter you felt like you're well rested the way you
can do that is for example meditation you can calm the mind the little voices
because that way you're gonna feel naturally you wanna sleep and rest
well because here's all about quality because you could for example sleep
eight hours of let's say quantity sleep and what that means is for example you
wake up every hour you're restless you're moving around in bed listen that
is not gonna do any any good but if you have eight hours of quality sleep what
that's gonna do for you is well you're gonna feel rejuvenated when you wake up
and so when your alarm clock goes off at five a.m. you're not wanting to stay in
bed because you've had great quality sleep so you wanna make sure so you
would feel like you wanna get up if that makes sense and so you wanna make
sure that you have a great evening routine and one of the things I would
suggest here because we have created a lot of videos to do with evening
routines on success insider so I don't wanna repeat myself here so I do
suggest that you go check out more videos by following the link above me or
in description box below or just go check it out on our YouTube channel
success insider to go model what what successful people do in the evenings now
one thing I would mention quickly here is make sure that you do not use any
technology one hour before sleep time the reason being is all of that light
that that's being emitted to you is not good at the same time your mobile phone
is amazing at just creating a reactive state and open loops because think about
it you'll be checking emails notifications on Facebook all of this
social media stuff and it is not gonna be a great thing to be thinking about
when you're going to sleep so make sure that you read a book meditate do
whatever it takes like I said go watch the videos where I'm break down exactly
what to do in the evening and this is what's gonna help you to wake up nice
and early so you can truly create the life you're born to live I hope you
found this video helpful by the way insider if you have be sure to share this
