How you wake up in the morning effects your entire day.
If you begin your morning with momentum, you can keep it up for the rest of the day.
So Hal created a morning routine that he calls "The Miracle Morning", which helps you start
the day full of motivation and enthusiasm.
But before we get to the routine, you need to wake up first...
And we all know how hard that is in the morning.
The old saying "you snooze you lose", may have a much deeper meaning than any of us realized.
When you delay waking up until you absolutely have to, consider that what you're doing is
actually resisting your life.
So here a few tips how you can resist pressing that snooze button.
Move alarm across the room.
This forces body movement and motion creates energy, so it helps you wake up.
However you'll still likely be feeling sleepy so...
Brush your teeth.
The point is that you're doing a mindless activity for the first few minutes and simply
giving your body time to wake up.
Since you're in a bathroom already, splash some water on your face, it will wake your
up even further.
Drink a glass of water.
After 6-8 hours without water you'll be naturally dehydrated and dehydration causes fatigue.
The objective is to rehydrate your body and mind as fast as possible, to replace the water
you were deprived of during the hours you slept.
Alright so you're up...
What now?
How do you have a successful morning?
Enter: Life savers
S, stands for silence.
You can either do meditation or just heavy deep breathing, while you let your mind wander.
It will help you clear your head of all the negative thoughts and reduce stress.
Just do it for 5 minutes.
But make sure you don't do it in bed, you don't want to fall asleep again!
A, stands for affirmations.
Your self talk has a dramatic influence on your mood.
When you design and write out your affirmations, align them with what you want to accomplish
and commit to repeating them daily - they make an impression on your subconscious mind.
You can over come your limiting beliefs and behaviors and replace them with those you
need to succeed.
Here's an example if you want to lose weight, your affirmation might look something like
this: I am 100% committed to going to the gym 5 days a week and running on a treadmill
for 20 minutes.
The more specific the actions the better.
Customize them to your needs and also feels free to add some inspiration quotes in.
V, stands for visualizations.
Visualizing your goals and dreams is believed by some experts to attract your visions into
your life.
Whether or not you believe in law of attraction, visualization lifts up your spirit and emotions
and pulls you toward your vision.
It can be a powerful tool for overcomming self limiting habits such as procrastination.
E is for exercise.
Morning exercise should be a staple in everyones daily ritual.
When you exercise even for a few minutes every morning it significantly boosts your energy
and mental clarity.
Every morning you gotta get your hearth rate up and fill lungs with oxygen.
Whether you do some yoga, go for a walk or run is up to you.
Me personally, I like to do some light stretching and go to the gym.
R is for reading.
Whatever you want in your life, there are countless books on how to get it.
The key is to learn from the experts, those who have already done what you want to do.
With an almost infinite amount of books available on every topic, there are no limits to the
knowledge you can gain through daily reading.
I recommend making a commitment to read at least 10 pages per day.
Lets do some math here.
Reading 10 pages per day equals 3650 per year, which equates approximately eighteen 200-page
personal development books.
So 10 pages a day equals 18 books per year.
I guarantee that if you start reading today you'll see major improvement in your life.
S is for scribing.
Scribing is just another word for writing.
You can write about anything.
You can have a dream journal, write about your goals and plans, lessons learned and
so on.
Anything you feel like you need to focus on in your life
writing will help you capture ideas.
The process of writing something down forces us to think through it enough to understand it.
So that's it about "life savers".
You can do each activity for as long as you wish, but try not to exceed 1 hour with your
morning routine.
Try to implement some of the ideas talked about in this video and customize the savers
for your needs.
And remember, these are just ideas on how you can upgrade your morning.
This is not something you HAVE to do to have a great one.
