(72) Craft Your Perfect Morning Routine For Success
Episode description
At the start of my personal development journey, I was obsessed with morning routines. I looked them up all the time and even paid Asian Efficiency for their morning routine course & template. From years of studying and implementing it. There are a few key concepts that always come up:
- Prepare your mind, body and spirit for the day. Starting the day pro-actively and not reactively.
- Journaling: A great exercise is the morning pages by Julia Cameron – this helps with clarity, insights and creativity!
- Meditation: A 5min to the 1-hour practice of meditation is beneficial for focus & emotions throughout the day. It is the one pillar of my morning routine that I never skip. You can use Insight Timer to track your progress.
- Exercise: Waking up the body physically is a must! It makes so much of a difference, even if it is just a 5min. stretch!
- Cold Shower: I love Wim Hof work on cold exposure. Cold showers are a wonderful way to improve the immune system, change our mood, and build resilience
- Breakfast & Hydration: Being hydrated is important as it helps us to think clearly, and food is a bonus! (Some people prefer to skip breakfast as part of intermittent fasting – I always eat breakfast but sometimes skip diner as a form of intermittent fasting).
Having a great morning routine in place can make a huge difference in your day! It is a great way to set yourself up for success!
