Makeover Your Morning Mini-Challenge – Day 2
Here is my question for you this morning. What’s most important to you? What is the one thing you really want to include in your morning routine that would make a big difference in your life, but you just can’t seem to find the time for?
In short, what good habit do you want to cultivate that would make a real impact on your life?
Think about this for a moment. It could be in any area of your life from exercise and healthy eating to self-improvement or getting ahead in business or at your job. It could be working on your relationship with your kids, finding time for an exercising routine, your creative pursuits, or getting in the habit of reading every morning.
To me waking up earlier means being able to “clear the deck” for the day, have time to get a lot of work done when I’m quiet, focused and my most productive.
If you’re a parent of younger kids, this extra morning hour may be that “me time” you have been craving for, be it to read, exercise or simply take a shower without a toddler asking for attention.
Once you’ve figured out what you want to work on, what you want to improve, and what’s important to you, we’ll think about how you can make it part of your morning routine.
Your Perfect Morning Routine: Sit Back and Imagine Your Perfect Day
It isn’t stressed or rushed. Most importantly it’s a day when you have time for the most important things on your list. Maybe it means having time for a long shower. Maybe it’s going for a run before breakfast. Maybe it’s having a few minutes to connect with your spouse over coffee or maybe it’s carving out an hour first thing in the morning to work on your side-business.
That’s a lot of “maybes” but the key is to start with what’s most important to you and think about how you could fit it into your morning routine. Remember, you’re just dreaming and imagining at this point. We’ll work on figuring out where to find the time to fit it in and how to make it all work out later on. For now, I simply want you to paint a vivid picture of what your new morning could look like.
I want you to become clear about what you want that perfect morning to look like. Imagine it in as much detail as you possibly can. Write it down in a journal or on a piece of paper that you can refer back to as needed. In short, define your perfect morning.
Why is this so important? Because you can’t start to make any meaningful changes until you know what your goals are. You need to know your destination before you can start to pick a route and figure out how you’ll get there. That’s what today’s task is all about. It’s figuring out where you want to get to. Don’t stop until you have it figured out and firmly pictured in your mind.
