SAVERS — The Miracle Morning

We keep searching on how to improve ourselves. This topic has been taken from the book “The Miracle Morning” written by Hal Elrod.

“On the one hand, we all want to be happy. On the other hand, we all know the things that make us happy. But we don’t do those things. Why? Simple. We are too busy. Too busy doing what? Too busy trying to be happy.” — Matthew Kelly

We never find time for ourselves and keep on procrastinating our job. Let’s start this/that thing from tomorrow, sometimes it is knowingly and sometimes it is unknowingly and at the end of everything just blame others for the task not done on time. This is a normal human tendency towards any task/work not to complete it. I have also done it many times, cant help as I am also a normal living being creature in human form. But, one thing for common to each one of us takes the initiatives on time. 

Let’s not kill time and jump to the point directly. Below 6 habits before 8AM can transform your life and will surely make you successful. At least doing this early morning will help you to complete your daily task with ease. 

Miles Davis says, “My future starts when I wake up every morning” — This seems applicable to everyone.

Life SAVERS

SAVERS do not have any sequence, can be done in whatever sequence seems feasible. Example here has been provided that can be done in 60 minutes. (if you are super busy, you can do it in 6, 10, 12, 30 minutes)

For those who have read 5AM Club by Robin Sharma, this might seems familiar to 20/20/20 Rule (wake up at 5 AM then divide 1 hour into 20/20/20 minutes). I will share the comparison as the next post, as I am yet to read 5AM Club book.

S as Silence — Start off your day by increasing your conscious and by focusing on your goal through meditation. Do this as soon as you wake up. (can be done by sitting in silence, praying, meditating & focusing on the breath) — makes mind peaceful / releases your stress. (5 minutes)

A as Affirmation — By chanting/reciting a mantra tied to your personal goals, you are setting your mind for success. (what I wanted, who I am committed to being, & what I am committed to change my life) — makes you feel empowered. (5 minutes)

Napoleon Hill says, “Anything you can conceive and believe, you can achieve.” e.g. ( I your_name will be a powerful keynote speaker)

A famous quote by Mohammad Ali, “It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. Once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen”. This is the beauty of daily affirmations.

V as Visualization — Picture as precisely as you can what you want to achieve, with confidence and pleasure. You can also gather images on a board that will inspire you and ease this visualization process. (Imagine yourself doing each thing, step by step, that you need to do to accomplish your goals. Then imagine what it will feel like when u succeed)— makes you inspired. (5 minutes)

E as Exercise — Let your blood flow in your body and fill up your lungs with oxygen through yoga poses that you are comfortable with. “Motion Creates Emotions” — Tony Robbins says most of the time which seems correct for exercise. You can even stand up, can do jumping jacks and get your heart rate up and get energized and waking yourself up and increasing your ability to be alert and to focus.— makes you energetic. (20 minutes)

R as Reading — Reading 10 pages a day equals to 3,650 pages per year which correspond to 18 books of 200 pages each. Read the book, pick the idea and implement it. Discover something new that you can use to feel better. (Book can be of the genre — self-help, autobiography and non-fiction)— makes you motivated. (20 minutes)

S as Scribing — Write a journal to keep track of your ideas, discoveries and opportunities. Writing them down will unconsciously help you to thrive. — (write what you are grateful for, what is your problem, this remove the load you might be carrying from ages) — makes you feel grateful. (5 minutes)

Rolf Smith has said, “The problem with making mental notes is that the Ink fades very Rapidly”. So it is better to write journals, this way we always remember it.

Last quotation which is worth including “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body and prayer is to the soul. We become the books we read” by Matthew Kelly
