In the Miracle Morning summary, based on the Hal Elrod book, we’re told that anyone can achieve a better life through waking up early and following a specific routine.
In that routine we simply have to commit to following certain personal development principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Miracle Morning was borne of two huge incidents in Eldrod’s life<\/a> – a near-fatal car crash in his 20’s and the collapse of his business coupled with depression in the 2008 financial crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through these experiences, Elrod realised two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, he developed the ritual that would form his ‘Life SAVERS’, which we’ll cover shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 95% of people settle for mediocre lives, without realising they contain greater potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is this such a frequent phenomenon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Humans have a tendency to evaluate current opportunities through the filter of past experiences. Many people drift through life, bereft of direction. We wrongly assume that small choices today are unimportant in the overall scheme of life. We inevitably emulate the people we spend the most time with. Many of us are someday people, and display a worrying lack of urgency. \u201cYour level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development\u201d – Jim Rohn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n None of us want to settle for a level 5 in our health, finances, relationships, career etc. We can change our lives by changing how we wake up. \u201cI don\u2019t want to wake up\u201d However, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. By telling ourselves we’re tired and demotivated, we become tired and demotivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather, we need to start each day like Christmas mornings as a kid, with energy and focus. The miracle morning consists of the following practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting our day silently brings calm and presence. There are 5 main alternatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allow us to reprogram our subconscious mind, replace negative thought patterns and become the type of person we envision. We can use our imagination to visualise our greatest desires in life, painting vivid mental pictures of their accomplishment. A staple of any morning routine. It will boost energy, concentration and improve our health, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Reading will help us gain the knowledge, skills and strategies to excel in life. Writing in a daily journal allows us to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Engaging in your own miracle morning will allow you to unlock your potential. Even though you’ll be uncomfortable with your new routine initially, you’ll soon become unstoppable. Like this?

Rearview mirror thinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By subconsciously narrowing our frame of reference to previous accomplishments, we limit our potential.
We need to do two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\nPurpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We must pick our purpose and align ourselves with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDiminishing the impact of tiny actions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For example, skipping exercise today is fine, because tomorrow is a new day.
However, every action (or lack of) that we take at this moment is a vote for the type of person we want to become.
Therefore, maintaining discipline with our commitments is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA questionable ‘circle of influence’ <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Associate with lazy and unmotivated people and we’ll become them, while the opposite is true for success.
We all need accountability, so look towards positive, uplifting people to help you live your desired life. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLack of urgency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now is the most important time you have. What we do today determines our tomorrow and the ultimate direction of our life.
So, draw your line in the sand and determine who you want to be, then start acting today.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA level 10 life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In order to achieve level 10, we must first transform ourselves into a level 10 person.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe miracle morning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many of us wake up, hit the snooze button and eventually drag ourselves out of bed to face the day, which sets a terrible tone for what follows.
Essentially, we’re saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to live my life\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By infusing our mornings with passion and purpose, we set the intention for the rest of the day.
The miracle morning creates this energy. By following a routine, we can avoid the temptations to skip our non-negotiable activities.
