The most important ritual you can put in place is your morning ritual because if you get up in the morning
and do things to get you feeling great.
To make the most out of the day ahead you'll be way more productive that day.
Imagine the difference between that and your alarm just going off in the morning snoozing three times
rolling out of bed eating something quickly and then heading out the door in a half days when you have
a morning ritual you get fired up and in the right mindset to go after what you want to get done that
day.
For this reason alone it's a must.
The time you invest by doing this first instead of jumping straight to work will pay you huge returns
in productivity.
But there is an even more important reason to do this.
You see how El Rod who wrote the book the miracle morning which is all about setting up a morning ritual
said that we think to achieve more we need to do more.
But in reality to achieve more we need to become more.
When you become more you achieve more by doing less.
So the even more important benefit of your morning ritual is personal development.
You're investing that time not just for the day but for your life.
It's like Jim rhône the great speaker said income seldom exceeds personal development.
Success is something you attract by the person you become.
So you want to invest this first part of the day in things that get you in the right state of mind and
things that have done again and again help you become the person you can become.
Here's how Howell El Raad recommends breaking your morning ritual down.
He describes it by the acronym saver's.
He says to start by some sort of silence or meditation.
First off to get centered and then affirmations followed by visualization exercise reading and Scriabin
which is a fancy word for writing in a journal.
Now you don't have to do all of these things but here is what I'd recommend doing as a bare minimum.
Firstly exercise you want to invest this time in getting strong healthy and more importantly feeling
awake and energized for the day ahead.
This can be walking out the door and going for a walk.
It could be 10 minutes on a rebounder or it could be a full workout but even just 10 to 20 minutes first
thing in the morning is enough.
Next is reading your purpose outloud with enthusiasm.
You've written down your purpose and now you want to remind yourself and not only remind yourself but
get excited about going after your vision and your purpose that day.
And lastly visualize you want to visualize a scene where you've achieved your purpose and you want to
play that movie in your mind but also visualize your day ahead.
Visualize the day going perfectly visualize how you're going to be productive visualize how you're going
to go about getting everything done and how you're going to avoid distractions.
Roy Williams who wrote the book The Wizard of bad said that the first step to doing something is seeing
it in your mind and whatever you want to get done for the day see yourself doing it as part of your
ritual.
Now also ask yourself Is there anything else that you want to add that will help you toward being the
person you want to become.
I do recommend starting as simple as possible but if there is something else you want to add added in
there as well and then most importantly write it down and start tomorrow morning.
