  • if you want to live a life on your own terms you have to change the way that

  • you think about it so to change the way that you think about your life

  • let's take a look at how you wake up did you hit the snooze button at all this

  • morning I bet you did

  • the more you resist waking up the less chance you have of having a satisfying

  • day for example I bet everyone has a morning they can look back on and

  • remember jumping up out of bed whether it was a birthday or Christmas morning

  • try to remember that you woke up excited exuberant and filled with joy if you can

  • craft your mornings to wake up early and with a purpose

  • your day will be so much better if you can increase your wake-up motivation

  • level or your reason to get out of bed on a scale of one to ten to ten you will

  • leap into creating a fulfilling lifestyle and this book gives you six

  • steps on creating a morning that will boost your motivation level so the

  • author Howie rod was in a car accident when he was 20 years old he was hit by a

  • drunk driver and actually dead at the scene for six minutes and then for the

  • next six days he was in a coma

  • it was a bad deal but where am I going with this I'm saying that anyone in his

  • situation could have chosen to be depressed for years but how took the

  • responsibility for his life he found some magic and learned how to make the

  • best situation with a miracle morning and he came up with a little acronym

  • called lifesavers to help you create your miracle morning so the first is s S

  • stands for silence basically go into meditation or pray try to start thinking

  • about something that set yourself apart for something bigger

  • probably one of the best things you can do is think of 10 things that you're

  • grateful for and each morning

  • try to think of 10 new things for example your hands the wind on your face

  • your pillows even the ability to learn try to come up with some stuff that

  • you're grateful for and appreciate the silence now step number two is a which

  • stands for affirmations now mantras are like tools of the mind and the more you

  • tell yourself something will happen the more positive vibes that you put into

  • your brain the more likely they will be to actually happen and this ties into

  • the next step so basically the night before trying firming to yourself that

  • you will wake up refreshed and be super pumped to get up

  • so step number three is visualizations and we have to see in our mind what we

  • want to do with that day before it happens at first you can visualize it

  • you'll have a better chance of it actually happening so we can do anything

  • that is a man

  • general but the first step is to imagine it try to visualize waking up as

  • something pleasant something that you actually want to do look forward to

  • waking up the next step is to exercise and there are tons of positive benefits

  • to exercising and a great little visualization is thinking that if you're

  • not exercising that's like taking a depressant because exercise can act as a

  • stimulant a stimulant to your body a stimulant your mind a stimulant to your

  • life going for a short morning run has amazing benefits to the rest of your day

  • and no matter what else you do during that day when you go to bed you'll be

  • able to say that you did something productive

  • also if you tell yourself that you exercise at night when it comes to it

  • most people are actually too exhausted to follow through so it's very vital

  • that you exercise first thing in the morning exercise will definitely boost

  • your mood and help you focus throughout the rest of the day and it will also

  • increase your physical health exponentially how suggest drinking a

  • glass of water as soon as comfortably possible after you wake up so the second

  • to last step is reading try to read some inspirational material how recommend

  • reading something inspirational you could read to learn as well try to read

  • something that will help you visualize and affirm that great things will happen

  • today reading material that will further your skills and increase your

  • productivity for your daily plans is also great try to aim for 10 pages a day

  • so the last step is called scribing and this is basically writing something a

  • great method to this is the document what you did yesterday and to come up

  • with a little list of stuff to do today short to-do list of 325 things are very

  • effective and another option would be to write down all the things that you were

  • grateful for back in the silence step how is also really big on habits if we

  • can use our willpower to drive habits that make our minds do think on

  • autopilot we can create a great morning with no effort really quickly and the

  • best tip he gives to creating these habits is to find an accountability

  • partner that will start these steps with you and continue doing them for at least

  • 30 days now there's also two very important concepts discussed in this

  • book

  • the first is rearview mirror syndrome and rear view mirror syndrome is

  • basically having a previous experience in life that prevents us from making new

  • ones for example you're looking in the rearview and you're saying I don't want

  • that to happen again so it prevents you from making new experiences

  • an example of this is someone who can't commit to a new relationship because of

  • a previous one went bad

  • or maybe you had an injury last time you tried to work out or threw up last time

  • you tried to run if you can get past these bad experiences and allow yourself

  • to create new ones in spite of them you will achieve a fulfilling and happier

  • lifestyle much quicker and the second concept is called isolating incidents

  • basically by isolating an event of today you're affecting who you are as a person

  • as a whole so I know a lot of people that say oh it's just today I'm going to

  • eat this candy bar or oh it's just today I'm going to get my workout or maybe

  • you're fretting over talking to that old friend and you're thinking i'll just do

  • it next time

  • well now the next time will never come and you have to change your attitude to

  • think of how you act today is how you are going to act forever if you look at

  • yourself as a whole

  • you may think that these single incidents such as buying fast food or

  • purchasing that regretful item may only happen every once in a while but once

  • you start to notice them you may find out they've become the norm and not just

  • spur-of-the-moment pleasure experiences and to live a more fulfilling life you

  • have to get rid of isolated incidents and create more great habits in your

  • life so as a review try to start your morning with some meditation

  • affirmations and visualizations some exercise a little bit of reading and

  • finish it off with some writing and eventually your develop a miracle

  • morning which will transform your whole day and essentially your entire life now

  • may be hard to develop at first but after some fine-tuning you'll make your

  • morning's a habit and your life will become much more enjoyable
