10 Morning Routine Habits Of Successful People<\/h2>\n

\u201cHow you greet your morning is like a boomerang. It always comes back to you. Remember this.\u201d \u2015 Stan Jacobs<\/em><\/p>\n

Dwayne Johnson, also known by his wrestling show name \u201cThe Rock\u201d, is one of the most recognized and highest-paid entertainers in the world.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t follow his career or haven\u2019t seen most of his movies, you KNOW who he is.<\/p>\n

Chances are you\u2019ve seen him in something over the last couple of decades.<\/p>\n

His towering stature and chiseled physique make him instantly recognizable, and everything about him says \u201cInternational Superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acting, wrestling, producing \u2013 you name it, he\u2019s done it all.<\/p>\n

If he\u2019s not in the latest summer blockbuster, he\u2019s knee-deep in another project that\u2019s raking in millions easy.<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s showing no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n

The man is a BEAST.<\/p>\n

And one thing he\u2019s also famous for is his notorious habit of getting up at 4 AM every morning. When I first learned about this, I thought to myself, \u201cIs he crazy or what? I know getting up early is important, but that\u2019s borderline masochistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

But considering Dwayne\u2019s net worth and his incredible string of successful movies and other ventures\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026not to mention being number 25 on Forbes\u2019 list of Top 100 Most Powerful Celebrities AND the highest-paid actor in 2016\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 clearly he knows something we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

As soon as his alarm goes off, he doesn\u2019t waste any time hitting the weights. Once he\u2019s done with working out, he launches straight into planning mode while having a high-powered breakfast.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s during this time when he catches up on projects he\u2019s working on, along with the others he\u2019s got in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

And it turns out that a lot of other successful people who\u2019ve established themselves in their respective fields also have morning habits that have served them well.<\/p>\n

So if you want to maximize your hustle, you\u2019d better starting building a set of your own morning habits.<\/p>\n

Is it worth being an early bird?<\/p>\n

In a word, YES.<\/p>\n

Getting into the habit of waking up ahead of everyone is, in fact, one of the best things you could do for yourself.<\/p>\n

More than that however, having a whole series of morning rituals is a solid building block on your path to success.<\/p>\n

Productivity equals success \u2013 there\u2019s no way around that.<\/p>\n

And having a reliable routine in the morning sets the stage for everything else you\u2019ll do later on.<\/p>\n

In the book \u201cDeep Work\u201d, Cal Newport stresses the importance of building habits in your life.<\/p>\n

He says that \u201cyou get better at a skill as you develop more myelin around the relevant neurons, allowing the corresponding circuit to fire more effortlessly and effectively. To be great at something is to be well myelinated.\u201d<\/p>\n

So the more your brain gets used to doing something repeatedly, the better you\u2019ll be at producing consistently high results.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to set these foundations now, so that the rest of your day runs like clockwork.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, let\u2019s count down the Top Morning 10 habits To Flip Your Brain\u2019s Productivity Switch:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#10: Let the day wash over you<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ok, so the first thing you need to know is that your morning routine should start off low-pressure, then gradually crank up the speed as you go along.<\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re in the military, you don\u2019t need to hit the ground running the moment you open your eyes.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons Dwayne Johnson gets up so early is to he can beat the sun to it. That way, he has a couple of hours of quiet alone time while everyone else is sleeping.<\/p>\n

Now, you don\u2019t have to watch the sun rise, but if you can manage to do so, it\u2019s a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n

It sets the tone for everything else to come, and you can gradually build up your momentum from this point on.<\/p>\n

Even if you can\u2019t wake up that early, it\u2019s still nice to spend at least 30 minutes (or longer) after getting out of bed to simply gather your wits and reflect on the day ahead.<\/p>\n

Just remember that in the later part of the day, you\u2019ll be faced with a million decisions to make. So use this brief opportunity to savor the start of a new day.<\/p>\n

#9: Get your mind right<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tony Robbins, a well-known life coach and philanthropist, sets aside time for what he calls the \u201cHour of Power\u201d. This is when he does breathing exercises, sets goals and gets into affirmations.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to get in the right headspace to take on your day. Thus, meditation and inner reflection gives you the mental leverage to tackle the most difficult tasks weighing heavily on your mind.<\/p>\n

Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter does this as well (along with exercising), which helps him clear his mind and get ready to handle the day ahead.<\/p>\n

Getting started is as easy as sitting down with your eyes closed so you can focus on the rhythm of your breath. You\u2019ll then enter a state of mindfulness, which is paying attention to the present moment and nothing else.<\/p>\n

After that, you can start doing affirmations, which are basically statements of kindness and encouragement that you repeat to yourself. They bring attention to your positive qualities and strengths, as well as things you want to accomplish.<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am loved by the people around me.\u201d
\n\u201cI am stronger than I think.\u201d
\n\u201cI am productive and provide value to the world.\u201d
\n\u201cI have what it takes to close that sale today.\u201d
\n\u201cGetting that big task done is easier than it looks.\u201d
\nBy encouraging yourself, you\u2019ll get used to the fact that you\u2019re enough.<\/p>\n

Everything you do and everything you are serves the exact purpose you were meant to fulfill today – and in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n

#8: Plan Your Success!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that you\u2019ve taken some time to get your bearings, you can move on to tackling your goals for the day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed as the day goes by. So, the earlier you sort out and prioritize your to-do\u2019s, the more you\u2019ll feel on top of things.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it\u2019s crucial you have an overall sense of purpose so you don\u2019t stumble through the day without a clear idea of what to accomplish.<\/p>\n

Get specific with what you want to do, and put a certain quantity and deadline along with it (e.g. run 2 miles by 8:00 AM).<\/p>\n

Once you cross that off your list, you\u2019ll have a greater sense of accomplishment. Then, you\u2019re motivated to get even more done.<\/p>\n

#7: Do something you hate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking of your to-do list, everyone has that ONE item that they don\u2019t look forward to doing.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s exactly why you should get it out of the way as soon as you can.<\/p>\n

Look, willpower is a finite resource. So it makes sense to expend your energy on that unpleasant task while you\u2019re still in a better position to do so.<\/p>\n

Brian Tracy, a motivational coach, author and public speaker, calls this \u201ceating the frog\u201d.<\/p>\n

He recommends you wolf down that slimy amphibian as early as possible. After that, everything else will seem like a cakewalk.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be fun, but your future self will thank you for gritting your teeth and powering through it.<\/p>\n

#6: Get your endorphin fix<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Barack Obama once said, \u201cI’m trying to pare down decisions. I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s this kind of efficiency we should all strive for in the morning. As you learn to put some basic things on autopilot, you can better focus your energy on the big things instead.<\/p>\n

And one of the things the former leader of the free world can\u2019t do without is exercise. His regimen consists of both strength and cardio training, but you should do what works best for your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

The important thing is that you put in the time to sweat it out every morning. This is part of kicking your mind and body into high gear, and leads to greater productivity during the day.<\/p>\n

#5: Build your positivity muscles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most people don\u2019t realize that their state of mind is a matter of choice.<\/p>\n

They do this unconsciously, whether they focus on the brighter side of things\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026or choose to assume the worst in everyone and everything around them.<\/p>\n

So, your mornings are an excellent time for you to practice a little self-awareness.<\/p>\n

Be honest and ask yourself, \u201cDo I have a ton of complaints running in my head as I get ready for my day?\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re learning towards \u201cUm, yeah\u201d, then this is your chance to reverse that mindset and replace it with GRATITUDE.<\/p>\n

Find the time to really think about the things you often take for granted, no matter how small they are.<\/p>\n

It could be the fact that you have hot running water in the dead of winter, a hearty breakfast to look forward to\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026a partner who loves you, having high-speed internet, wearing your favorite pair of sneakers\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026or being able to get out of bed and walk upright.<\/p>\n

This attitude sends the right energy to the Universe, which then finds its way back to you.<\/p>\n

And when you turn this into a lifelong mental habit, it\u2019ll keep you strong even when things suck. You can list them down on paper every day, or you can do it mentally as you\u2019re meditating.<\/p>\n

#4: Set it up the night before<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ok, so technically this isn\u2019t a morning habit. But your mornings will run more efficiently if you put in a little prep time before hitting the sack.<\/p>\n

For example, you can pick out your work and exercise clothes, clean up your desk, declutter your room, and so on. There\u2019s something about resetting your work and living space that sets the right tone for the day.<\/p>\n

But if you pulled an all-nighter (which is hopefully not too often), try to do it early in the day the following morning instead. Besides, your brain shouldn\u2019t be swarming with crucial decisions at this time of the day.<\/p>\n

So, use this time to think about what you need to do while doing the dishes, sweeping the floor or taking out the trash.<\/p>\n

#3: Reconnect with your \u201cwhy\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In one of the most iconic speeches in recent history, Steve Jobs shared the one thing he always did in the morning.<\/p>\n

He told the 2005 graduates of Stanford University, \u201c\u2026for the past 33 years I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, \u2018If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I\u2019m about to do today?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

This kind of question might sound scary at first, but it crystalizes your life\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a daily reminder to make the most of the time you have on earth.<\/p>\n

In the greater scheme of things, it\u2019s pointless to hold on to petty grudges, get caught up in selfish agendas or let the fear of trying hold you back.<\/p>\n

So if you don\u2019t have a mission-vision yet, you\u2019d better get on that ASAP.<\/p>\n

Get to the core essence of what you want to do in life, whether it\u2019s sending your kids to college, finding the cure to cancer, or opening your own coffee shop.<\/p>\n

Then use your early waking hours to reacquaint yourself with your ultimate goals. Read that mission statement to yourself in the morning, or make it part of your mantra during your reflection time.<\/p>\n

#2: Eat Breakfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your body needs fuel to run, simple as that. You can\u2019t expect to operate at full mental and physical capacity if you\u2019re running on fumes.<\/p>\n

For one thing, having enough food to burn in the morning helps stabilize your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n

If you skip breakfast, it\u2019ll make you hungrier and cause you eat more than usual. This forces your body to produce more insulin than normal to handle fluctuations in your blood sugar.<\/p>\n

Eventually, this could develop into diabetes \u2013 and that\u2019s going seriously hamper your productivity.<\/p>\n

Plus, there are other risks involved, like weight gain, heart disease, elevated cholesterol levels and higher blood pressure.<\/p>\n

In other words, you can\u2019t afford to gloss over your first meal of the day if you want to keep playing the success game.<\/p>\n

Of course, that also means your breakfast needs to be healthy and well-balanced.<\/p>\n

Going for that sugar-laden, fat-filled muffin might not be the best choice. Instead, go for something more sensible, like protein-rich food and a good serving of whole grains while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n

Cereals, yogurt and juice are ok, but proceed with caution. Your typical grocery aisle is filled with brands that are loaded with sugar and other processed ingredients that does more harm than good.<\/p>\n

Do some research and pick the ones that won\u2019t send your sugar levels through the roof.<\/p>\n

#1: Get enough sleep, wake up early<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like breakfast, having a decent amount of shut-eye is essential. The National Sleep Foundation says adults need anywhere between 6-9 hours to recharge at night.<\/p>\n

Skipping on this one also poses a bunch of health risks, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity\u2026<\/p>\n

…not to mention lowered cognitive abilities, bad memory and shortened life expectancy.<\/p>\n

Here are a few tips for better sleep:<\/p>\n

NO laptops or mobile devices in bed. Their screen emits blue light which tell your brain to stay awake instead of following your natural circadian rhythm.<\/p>\n

Stick to a consistent bedtime. Decide what time you want to get up, and work your way back to find out what time you should be in bed.<\/p>\n

Make your room conducive for sleep. Draw the curtains, keep the temperature between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit, and make sure your mattress and pillows support your neck and back.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in your best interest to get this squared away so you can keep being awesome at what you do.<\/p>\n

Remember, success isn\u2019t an accident. It\u2019s a deliberate set of choices that you make every day.<\/p>\n

Habits aren\u2019t always hip, cool or easy. Sometimes, those decisions aren\u2019t any fun, either.<\/p>\n

Muhammad Ali said that he hated every minute of his training, but the results speak for themselves. So when it comes to being successful, these morning rituals will be your best friends.<\/p>\n

Speaking of success, there is one quality I\u2019ve discovered which can help you naturally attract the things most of us only dream about.<\/p>\n

A lot of folks struggle to find happiness, create wealth and have fulfilling relationships.<\/p>\n

But as it turns out, anyone can develop a specific trait that allows them to have all of this without wasting years of their life chasing it.<\/p>\n

It comes down to three simple steps, which you can learn about in this free presentation:<\/p>\n
