Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years, but it may be more important for you now than ever before. There is no denying that we are living through a global mental health crisis, and many of us are facing some of the most intense challenges of our lives. Julianna Raye is a master of mindfulness, which is why I asked her to join me for today's podcast. In addition to her more than 12,000 hours of personal practice, I've witnessed her lead thousands of members of our community through ...

Do you dream of a bigger and better future? Have you ever been told to 'get your head out of the clouds' and 'be more realistic'? Well, you're not crazy, and you're not alone. Every product, innovation social movement and major change in the world started off as one person's dream – and they were called 'crazy' until they made their dream come true… and then they were called a 'genius.' The other day I was watching the brand new documentary, Dreamer created by Giovanni Marsico (which you can wat...

The other day, I posted the following quote on social media: "Consider that every painful emotion you have ever experienced has been self-created by resisting your reality. It's never the thing we think we're upset about that's actually upsetting us. It is our resistance. When you accept reality exactly as it is, you are at peace. " To this, I added, " When you accept reality exactly as it is, there is no pain, only peace. Instead of resisting reality, accept it unconditionally, giving yourself ...

We're living not just in a global pandemic, but a global mental health crisis. More people are struggling mentally and emotionally than possibly ever before. In fact, nearly half of Americans report the coronavirus crisis is harming their mental health, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll . However, what can give you the power to manage your mental and emotional state, in times like these, is a strong sense of control of your inner world. Today, we talk about how GRATITUDE can be the ke...

For today's podcast episode, I want to explore what enables certain people to move through life's challenges so much more easily and effectively than others, and give you three (3) steps to develop your ability to do the same. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the primary focus of what I've been talking with you about is the one thing that you have control over: your inner world (your thinking, your emotional well-being, and ultimately your internal quality of life). I know that for many of us,...

Is there an area of your life that you would like to change or improve in the next 30 days? Today's podcast episode will help you do exactly that. For each of the past few months, I've been hosting a Miracle Morning "Monthly Mission" (30-day Challenge) in The Miracle Morning Community Facebook group, and I wanted to invite you to participate for the month of August.

Do you ever have that experience where you're reading a book and find yourself nodding your head and thinking, "Yes!" because you agree and resonate so deeply with what the author is saying? That happened with me over and over again when I read The Untethered Soul and its follow up, The Surrender Experiment , by Michael Singer. They quickly became two of my favorite books of all time, and there are millions of people who would say the same things about his work. Today, I'm going to read one of m...

Each week, I receive hundreds of emails from members of our community, asking me all types of questions - some of which are pretty unexpected, but I'll leave those for another episode. :^) One of the most popular types of questions that I get revolves around how I schedule my day, and structure my Miracle Morning. Today, I want to take some time to really answer this question. Right now, my SAVERS take about 90 minutes – 30 minutes for myself, 30 minutes for my family, and 30 minutes for my miss...

As human beings, we're prone to living in the past or anticipating the future, but rarely are we present to the only thing that's real… NOW. Life is always happening right now, and yet most of us spend our entire lives in our heads, thinking about the past or future, which is causing us to miss out on the essence of life. When we're fully present, we're calm, we transcend stress and worry, and we're able to experience life as it is meant to be lived. I first began learning about this in my early...

How has the first half of 2020 been for you so far? I know, I know – that's a loaded question. When you and I were planning our goals for the year, I don't think either of us considered that a global pandemic and the accompanying quarantine would show up. Personally, back in February, I was in the middle of planning a nationwide theater release for The Miracle Morning movie, and then the Coronavirus struck, and our entire plan had to be thrown out. Well, even if the first six months haven't been...

When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, my prognosis was extremely grim. I was given a 10 to 30% chance of surviving, which you could also say is a 70 to 90% chance of dying. Thankfully, soon after I was diagnosed, I read Dr. Bernie Siegel's book, Love, Medicine & Miracles , and I began affirming that there was a 100% chance that I would be in the 10 to 30% that survived. Bernie is an expert in mind-body connection. He's been sharing for decades the mind's ability to heal the body and our ...

Happy Father's Day to all of my fellow fathers and your families! Today's podcast is for you. Many of us dads tell ourselves that "family is our #1 priority" and yet, our schedules often tell a different story. Work and business take precedence over quality time with our families, time and time again, and this trade off can hurt our most important relationships and the impact we make for our children. For this special Father's Day bonus episode, Jon Vroman, founder of Front Row Dads , and I shar...

How do you feel about the current state of our world? Personally, I've got mixed feelings. On one hand, this is a crazy time in human history. People are dying, millions are unemployed, and many of our freedoms are being threatened or altogether taken away. All of this saddens me. However, on the other hand, people from all walks of life are uniting and working together to incite change. Protests are happening around the world, corrupt police officers are being held accountable, and people are c...

Have you ever taken a personality assessment? You know, the Myers-Briggs, DISC, or Enneagram tests that are supposed to tell us about who we are and fit us neatly into a predetermined category? Well, today's guest, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, has a very different take on personality testing. In his new book, Personality Isn't Permanent , he explores why these tests go against science and psychology, shape your identity in dangerous ways, and prevent us from living up to our true potential. Today, Dr. Ha...

If we lose our planet, we don't survive. As a species, we are in the midst of a major extinction event, and our systems of food, housing, and medicine have decimated our earth, its natural resources, and its biodiversity. In fact, in the worst-case scenario, we could see the end of humanity within just 70-120 years. However, all is not lost. Dr. Zach Bush's day job is as an MD who specializes in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care. However, he's also an internationally recognized ...

How would you describe your current reality? Are you primarily experiencing states of love, joy, bliss, and enthusiasm? Or do you find yourself enduring feelings of stress, anxiety, fear, and general negativity – more often than you'd like? If you're feeling the latter more than the former, there is no better time than now to remember that your reality is determined by what you focus on—habitually and over an extended period of time—and you have the power within you to create a reality that both...

No matter who you are, what you do, or what your goals are, there are probably things in your life that you would benefit from doing that you'd prefer not to do. Today, I really didn't want to go for a run – nor record this podcast – and yet I did both. So, how can you get yourself to do the things you need to do, even when you don't have the drive, motivation, or energy to do them? When you lose your motivation, you need to get tactical. It's time to implement concrete strategies to reframe the...

In today's podcast, you'll find out how you can improve the most important area of your life.

When my friend John O'Leary was nine years old, a horrific accident left him with burns on 100% of his body, and a slim chance of survival. He defied the odds to make a remarkable recovery and has spent his life since on a mission to share the lessons he learned about overcoming adversity. John and I met years ago when we spoke on the same stage, and I can attest that he is one of the most authentic and inspirational communicators that I know. In fact, his message has now reached over 1 million ...

As a society, we don't know what's next, and it's easier than ever to let yourself be ruled by uncertainty. Last week, I talked openly and vulnerably about some of the challenges I've been overcoming and how I leveraged my past to transform my present by getting back to practicing the fundamentals of The Miracle Morning (like I did back in 2008). As a continuation of last week's episode, today I want to share with you a number of actionable insights you can implement immediately to up-level your...

If you're struggling in any area of your life, right now, today's podcast episode can help you. I'm sharing a profound breakthrough with you that I had, recently, and inviting you to apply it to your life - immediately. A week ago, when I was recording this episode, I was struggling. I'm still dealing with the ongoing side effects of chemotherapy, and I'm still trying to work through the resulting anxiety, depression, and cognitive challenges that I've discussed openly with you in previous episo...

When faced with challenging times, it's easy to allow our good habits to be broken and for important routines to be disrupted. That is why, as we're all trying to navigate the uncertainty associated with the pandemic that's currently taking place, I've invited Chief Miracle Worker, Chip Franks, back on the podcast. Today, Chip gives you specific modifications you can make to your Miracle Morning practice to best support you in the midst of whatever challenges you are currently facing. Chip's str...

What are you choosing to focus on right now? In this unique moment in time, there's more competing for our attention than ever before. It's an unprecedented feeling, and even "How are you doing?" can now feel like a loaded question. It is human nature to allow what's outside of us to dictate and determine our inner state. That is why now, more than ever, we have to be intentional about what we choose to think about, act on, and how we invest our time, energy, and attention. In today's episode, I...

As a species, we're going through a lot of firsts right now - new circumstances, new challenges, a lot of fear, and more uncertainty than many of us have ever faced. A lot of you are experiencing illness, stress, fear, anxiety, and financial hardship, and many, especially...

We all have problems, but how our problems affect us can differ greatly from one person to another. While one person might feel overwhelmed or even depressed by the problems we're facing, someone else might actually feel optimistic and motivated, viewing their problems as opportunities for growth. In the last year, I've dealt with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and severe sleep deprivation. And while these "problems" have been the most difficult I've ever dealt with (and am...

Today's Episode: " 6 Years of Wisdom In 45 Minutes " is something very different. It's an actual message taken from our Best Year Ever Blueprint (BYEB) Mentors program that we introduced this week.

This particular BYEB Mentors session that he chose features me, and my two dear friends, Jon Vroman and Jon...

Nearly every year, most of us set out to make it our "best year ever" and yet most of us don't get off to the start that we want. We fall off track, and by February are either feeling discouraged, or have given up completely. Although this is all too common, it doesn't have to be your reality in 2020. In today's podcast, Jon Berghoff and I are talking about how to get back on track and bring your goals, dreams, habits, routines, and values back into alignment for 2020. You're going to hear about...
