As I write this I’m on a short getaway to what we in the south call the “Redneck Rivera” Orange Beach, Alabama. Keeping a routine even on a small vacation can be a struggle.
Throughout the years, I’ve had many people reach out to me expressing their desire to be a top level performer. This is exciting for me because I have a passion to help people reach their full potential.
When it comes to success, desire is such a key ingredient. Talent alone is not enough. I meet and speak with many people who are filled with talent, but lack the drive to capitalize on it. Show me someone with a burning desire and I know I can help them succeed.
When speaking to those who express their desire for success, I review with them what their specific goals are and what their commitment level looks like. One of the first areas that we will cover is what their mornings look like. As they are sharing their excitement, I will simply say “Tell me about your morning routine.” Believe me, I have heard all types of responses, including a lot of excuses. Many have said that they are not morning people. Others talk about the importance of coffee. Unfortunately, far too many wake up stressed out, with not much of a plan for the day.
Here’s the bottom line… If you want to win the day, you must win the morning. If you read biographies about very successful people, you will find that the majority of them wake up before 6 AM and have a morning routine. It is vital that you start your day on a positive note, with a great morning routine for morning motivation.
Tell me about YOUR morning routine. Is it time for you to make some changes in this area? If you are truly serious about accomplishing great things, you have to be just as serious about having a positive morning routine. You must change your stressful and hectic morning routine into a much more positive and peaceful beginning of the day.
For myself, I have a three hour morning routine before I leave my home. It begins with waking up at 5 AM. Many times, I’m automatically waking up before then. Waking up early is critical to starting your day positively and keeping your sleep cycle in check. This gives you time to complete your morning routines without having to worry about rushing around. If you are the type of person that keeps hitting the snooze button, it’s time to get rid of that habit. Set your alarm before you go to bed and put your phone in a place where you have to get out of bed to turn it off. Once you are out of bed, your positive day begins.
The best way to start your day is with gratitude. Reflect on all the things in your life that you are truly thankful for. As a matter of fact, write them down and think/meditate on them.
Get into the habit of making your bed. It takes less than a minute, and you’ll be rewarded with a feeling of self satisfaction.
Get into the habit of exercising every day. Spend 30 minutes each morning working out. This will rapidly wake you up and increase your mental well-being in the long term. You can do push-ups and sit ups and go for a short walk each and every day.
Review your goals for a few moments. Early morning is an excellent time for contemplation. Unfortunately, most people waste time watching garbage TV and spending time on social media. Instead of doing that, start focusing on your personal goals.
I’ve learned that what we put into our mind is very important. Your morning should include some kind of motivation. Whether you’re listening to a podcast or reading something inspirational, this habit will help you boost your productivity.
It’s important to have breakfast each morning. Whether it’s a smoothie or any other healthy breakfast, It’s a fantastic way to kickstart your day and provide yourself with the fuel necessary to be productive.
Always take a shower every morning. Get yourself clean and feeling good. Dress for success, and look at that person in the mirror with a big smile. You are now ready to take on the day.
There are so many things that you can do for a positive morning routine. It’s all about building new habits. Once you get into a positive morning routine, you will find that your days start happier and stronger. You will discover that you are much more motivated and productive than you’ve ever been.
Are you ready to change your morning routine? This is your time. If you want to success you must win the morning, and then you will win the day. Start now and start this morning!
