First Thing Successful People Do In The Morning

Does it really matter what you do every morning? A ritual? Believe it or not a high percentage of people wake up already thinking about the stress that lies ahead. However, a positive incantation can be just the thing you need to get pumped and ready to take the day head on!


Those who have claimed to have an effective ritual, say it really sets the tone of the day. Giving them a better outlook and approach. For those who have not adopted a morning ritual, many say it is a hit or miss. “They” like to say I woke up on the wrong side of the bed or visa versa. On those days of “waking up on the wrong side”, this mood is likely to carry on throughout the rest of your day, sometimes not able to snap out of it at all.


MAPPING OUT YOUR MORNING


The Huffington Post published an article on morning rituals that help you create a better day, and ultimately a better life. The author places particular emphasis on the benefits of visualization, and how Tony Robbins takes it to the next level by adding positive incantations. That’s right, not affirmations – incantations*.


Through Tony Robbins and his team is where I was first introduced and taught how to make and perform a proper incantation.I know, when I was first heard about this I had no clue what to think. I asked him “so, I just look in the mirror and say I am pretty over and over again?”, we laughed, but again I was confusing affirmations with Incantations. It is that and much more. Without jumping too much into the our psychology, the bottom line is we have the power to change how we feel and depending how we feel can change how we perform and make decisions at work or at home.


First let me explain the difference between an affirmation and an incantation. An affirmation is a spoken word of encouragement, but for some people it just isn’t enough to be an effective technique. I was told if I really wanted to get in the “zone” for the day or for work, just saying an affirmation was not going to cut it. Yes, reciting something that is uplifting may scratch the surface, but with an incantation, you are truly feeling the meaning of what you are saying using your whole physiology. That is way more empowering. Not only are you speaking these words, you are using your body and your voice to bring them to life.

This is one of the first things I teach my clients. Personally I was told to say this for 10 minutes every day, at least once a day. I even had to name it! Just like a dog, when I need to get into this particular zone, I call out it’s name. If you are like me with kids or other people in your house, chanting these incantations out loud with meaning may seem a little embarrassing at first. If this is the case, I know some people who say it on the way to work in the car, or to music, before the shower. My kids love it, they say it with me. Sometimes I hear them repeating lines when I am not even there which is amazing.


The first two weeks, I started to notice it repeating over and over in my head even before bed sometimes. After 4 weeks, other people started to notice something different in me. A confidence maybe, just a feeling when I would walk into a room, like I’ll have whatever he’s having type of deal.


This is personal and should be words or phrases that have true meaning to you. Having more than one depending on what traits and characteristics you want to bring out is also a great idea. One for work, one for family, etc.


POWERFUL TRANSFORMATIONS


The key to incantations is how you are changing your whole physiology, your state of mind and your focus. Bringing a positive outlook to everyday. There is nothing wrong with affirmations, they do sound positive and are, they just lack the power if not said out loud and truly believing the meaning and thoughts behind them. An effective incantation truly hits the mind, body and spirit to alter ones way of thinking, feeling and believing.


Maybe at first you don’t 100% believe what you are saying. Another voice in your head is saying “but I am not confident”. Keep pushing through these barriers we call limiting beliefs and not only will this change your morning, it could change your whole outlook on life and your self. Remember, the mind has no eyes. It believes what you say to it, internally, externally as well as your senses. Studies have been done on the brain with piano players and Olympic athletes in which visualizing, believing it is happening had the same affect as actually doing it.

I AM CONFIDENT!

For those of you who like to work out, well guys at least, want to go heavier and heavier, adding up how much weight they just benched, bragging to their friends, but the weight doesn’t matter if your form is terrible. Someone using less weight with proper form would have more effective results. Why, because your brain cannot read the numbers on the weights. I did a whole 8 week transformation with two bands and a set of 5lb dumbbells. Result, I lost 18lbs of fat and never looked better. Anyways, let’s get back to the topic.


The resources and tools for success are there for those who are resourceful enough to not just find them, but adopt them into your life. Adding Incantations to your morning ritual will serve as a powerful reminder. Every day getting that confidence boost you need to start each day as the man or woman you choose to be. It is a commitment to living your life with an energy so positive other people feel it. Tapping into the inner confidence buried inside yourself.


MORNING RITUALS: DAILY ROUTINE


Incantations allows you to take the wheel of your mind by choosing how you want to feel, when you want to feel it. Change the quality of your life no matter what circumstances you may be in. Be strong, don’t let external forces control the way you feel. Don’t allow a limiting belief to stop you from living your dream life. Mental and emotional control can be a factor of how you look at your life and make key decisions.


This influences the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we’re capable of or what’s achievable or not. The states we go into most often will determine whether we find the strategies necessary to succeed and whether we come up with a story that will empower us. Knowing you have this massive power to change your life, what are you going to do with it?


MAKING ROOM FOR CHANGE

Manage Your Time.

It is vital to effectively manage your time, adding any morning ritual means you need to allow yourself the uninterrupted time to visualize and reflect. If you live in a house like mine, morning times can be hectic, rushing to get kids ready for school or camp while getting yourself ready for work. Rushing an incantation will just diminish it’s power. Maybe you have to get up a little earlier to have a comfortable, stress free environment to have the ability to focus. There is a reason why every successful person I have spoken to has a morning ritual. I guess the question to ask your-self is it worth it?


If anyone told you changing you life is a walk in the park, it’s because they haven’t had to change theirs. From finding time to add in a morning ritual or making other necessary positive changes in your life, it can be challenging. This is where a Life Coach could be beneficial. Having the aid of a life coach will not only efficiently map out your morning ritual, but also have the insight of an experienced professional. I am a life coach, and I continue to work with a life coach still. There is always room to grow, new strategies and techniques to learn, but most importantly, the higher quality service I am able to provide for my clients. To complete rearrange your entire morning, giving yourself enough time and applying new techniques to the start of your day can be a daunting task. Assistance – and accountability – can be your keys to establishing healthy habits to bring about positive changes to your day, and your life.


One of the greatest scientific discoveries has been that you can alter your emotional mood by a radical shift in your physiology, and we can start to achieve that through incantations. If a morning ritual has the power to transform your whole existence, isn’t it worth giving a shot? Our true potential can be met with positive incantations, which we can use to recognize the confident and driven person living within ourselves.
