My Very Own "Miracle Morning"

As of today, it has almost been a week since I started applying a new daily routine into my lifestyle. Almost every morning, I have been incorporating a few goals to start off my day positively. This routine consists of:

• Getting up at 5:00 am to do a yoga session
• Meditation and prayer
• Reading my scriptures and/or another book
• Visualizing my success in an area in my life
• Reading out loud affirmations
• Journal writing

If you are anything like me, getting up before 6:30 in the morning is not really a possibility, let alone working out AND being completely productive, ALL before the sun has even thought about returning for the day. I am as far from being a morning person as you can get, which is what makes this routine so crazy. No, this is not some magical energy pill, or crazy diet I have started. Its a system created by Hal Elrod that I learned about from a book he wrote.

The is book called The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM) and I can't even begin to explain the affect it has had on me in just one week. To summarize, this book goes in depth about changing mentality to change your life. Hal explains that the first hour of your day, determines the productiveness of your day and that the only people standing in the way of what we want, is ourselves. He describes the steps he took to turn his life around (he has a VERY crazy life story) and lists them along with how to correctly pick up these habits.

I have been waking up before my alarm even goes off this week, feeling energized and excited to stick to my new routine. It is literally so far from being normal for me, so of course I am intrigued to continue and see what I can accomplish. I will check back in periodically to update my progress and share my experience, but for now I would highly suggest looking into reading or listening to this book if you want to change your life in way you don't expect.
