Morning routines = Success

Routines: Consistent habits repeatedly completed on a timely basis.

Hi guys,

I would like to welcome you all to my new blog and Human Phenomena.  I’m letting you all into a little part of my day here with my morning routines before I help you all to build your own effective routines to help you become successful and achieve your goals.  I am also excited to announce that my new program is available for you all here.

Nice and simple lay out for my routines.  Every day I wake up as early as possible.  6:30 am is my usual unless I have an early client meeting or something really vital to get done.  When this happens I'm up at 4:30 am.

• Water:  First thing I will do in the morning is give myself a glass of water.  I have been slowly becoming dehydrated over night so it’s the first thing I'll fix.  
• Get moving:  I have to get moving in the morning, really get my whole body system engaged.  So usually this starts with foam rolling, followed by either a run or some skipping.  It’s a great way to get a sluggish wake up feeling off you with oxygen intake, using some energy and feeling my body work.
• Stretch:  Stretching keeps it at an optimal level of function.  So when I'm warm I like to stretch for as long as I can.  It feels amazing afterwards and is vital for strength improvement also.
• Meditation:  This is something new for me, it’s a great way to connect with what I am grateful for, what I am aiming for in the day, motivating me with my WHY and clearing my mind ready for action.
• Eat:  I’ll usually eat after all this as I like to get moving quickly.  If I’m really hungry I can eat some almonds before I get going but a very nutritious breakfast packed with everything I love to give me an amazing burst of energy for the day.  No coffee for me! I’m already wide awake by this point and the nutrition carries me all day.
• Get going:  I will have already set my day’s todo list the night before.  So what I have to do is ready to go on paper and all I need to do is what my past self knew would be the best for my future!

 So it's the weekend, but success is still out there waiting for you.  Your morning routine is what creates you. It is what starts your day, every day.  And the higher percentage of it will be very consistent. Even if you think you do not have a morning routine... YOU DO!  Hitting snooze, skipping breakfast, being late, and slouching at work are all a routine that creates you.  No one said the routine was a positive right now.  

What are your goals? If it is to be the best sleeper inner ever.  You are probably excelling right now so well done, you are living success. Keep it up! :) If however, you want to lose weight, start a business or be fit, healthy and the best version of you? It's time to make a routine that creates that optimal outcome you desire.  I have attached a free download to use with this blog post! All instructions to follow.

We all feel 100% better when we start our day right, energetic and focused!  And if we do this every day, we have an amazing week.  Amazing weeks create amazing months, amazing months create amazing years and so on until you've lived an amazing, long and healthy life.  

Create your morning routine to benefit you!  But how?  Well, first of all we need to know what exactly is it that we want.  So write that down on the back of your MY MORNING ROUTINES SHEET.    

When we know what we want, and this may take some time to really work out,  the next step is to work out what is stopping us.

So if it is to be slim, lean and fit into a great dress/suit for example and the morning routine consists of eating an absurd amount of pancakes for breakfast.  Skipping lunch and scoffing donuts in the car because you really need something and then finally raiding the fridge late at night.  Then we have found what is stopping you.  Just an example!  

 Write down what it is that is stopping you so far under what it is you want to achieve.  If you are not sure on this, speak with someone who knows you.  Ask them what they think is stopping you. But make sure they are truthful and also make sure you do not get offended because this person is helping you become better.  Be grateful for that support and honesty.

The next step is to correct the behaviour, activity, routine, ritual, whatever you choose to name it, it is an act.  Now by changing this act, replacing it with something more beneficial,you will change the direction of the pattern and start to create a shift that can… yes only can not “will”and I’ll get to that in a moment, that can get you to you goal.  

If a large ship wants to turn, it cannot change direction in a blink of an eye.  If it tried it may possibly capsize.  So it takes a long turn that takes time and effort from the whole system.  This is you changing your whole lifestyle.   Now, each little step or turn of the wheel will ultimately changes your direction to massive proportions but if only a couple of things change you will still go in the same direction but maybe with a slightly different destination.  To completely change and go the opposite way!!! We must be patient and continue the turning process.

In summary, those steps are:

1- Work out and be very clear with what we want.

2- Understand what has been stopping us or causing the opposite effect.

3- Correct them one by one as perfectly as we can to get to the prefered, optimal destination.
