Every successful person engages in morning ritual habits. Do you?

I'm a big believer that how you start your day determines how you live your life. This is why I've been practicing morning rituals since I was 17 years old.

This one habit has literally transformed every aspect of my life and continues to do so to this day. For the last 15 years, I have been studying the morning ritual habits of some of the most successful people in this world.

My findings were so powerful that I decided to write a book on 67 morning rituals for your body, mind, and spirit.

Morning ritual habits have transformed my life.

As many of you know who follow me, I am always looking for ways to biohack my health and level up my life. For a while now I have had the desire to dive deeper into the world of morning ritual habits. This is why I decided to write a book on the topic. I was curious about all of the rituals that people may not even be aware of that I could share and implement into my own morning ritual.

During the writing process, my team and I did comprehensive research to determine the benefits of each of the 67 rituals that I talk about in my book. I have personally engaged in all of these rituals. Keep in mind that I don't practice all 67 rituals in one sitting. I don't recommend that you try to accomplish that feat either! It's just not realistic. However, I do engage in about 5-10 of them every day.

Keep in mind that there is no ideal way to start your day. Everyone is different. However, from my research, I found that there are certain morning ritual habits that successful people adopt. These rituals have been found to have powerful effects on their lives in the long-term.

As you can tell, I'm extremely passionate about morning ritual habits. However, I wasn't always a morning person. For the majority of my childhood, I would sit for hours on end staring at a computer screen playing video games, eating junk food and feeling horrible about myself. It's fair to say that I had low self-esteem and terrible self-discipline.

Not surprisingly, this way of life cost me my productivity, focus, and happiness.

However, the moment that I was introduced to morning rituals, the game changed. It seemed like such a simple concept. I didn't believe that it was possible to level up your life by simply creating new habits. I was wrong. Researchers have found that simple rituals can be effective at increasing confidence and alleviating anxiety. These were two aspects of my life that I had struggled with since I was a kid.

When I was introduced to the self-development world, I learned that if I wanted to change my life, I had to start by changing myself. This was a massive wake-up call. I realized that I had a lot of unhealthy habits. The reality is that habits can be your servants or masters. If you don't take the time to connect to your inner world every single day, how do you expect to show up for anyone else?

Unfortunately, a lot of people choose the former. They roll out of bed, slam a pot of coffee, eat junk food, complain about their lives, and stress out to the point of becoming burnt out. They may have the desire to break these bad habits, but they don't know how. These patterns of operating have become so ingrained in their systems to the point that they feel normal.

Even though bad habits are toxic in nature, they continue to provide some type of benefit to people's lives. Simply stopping a bad habit will not work. In my experience, the only way that you can break a bad habit is by replacing it with a good one.

One of the most effective ways of changing your belief patterns is through practicing morning ritual habits.

By waking up every day and nourishing your my mind, body, and spirit, you will feel calmer and more in control of your emotions. Keep in mind that, when it comes to morning ritual habits, there is no gold standard. You need to find a routine that works best for you and your life. I encourage you to experiment with what feels good and monitor your state throughout the day.

Below are 7 life-changing morning ritual habits that I talk about in my book and that I personally engage in on a daily basis. These rituals (and 60 others) have allowed me to be unstoppable in every area of my life. Again, find what works for you, but I encourage you to test these out and see how they make you feel.

1. Practice Yoga

The benefits of yoga are limitless – you get to relax and reflect, all while doing something good for your body. Keep a yoga mat close to your bed and let this be the first thing you do once you get up. You don't have to be a yogi or a yogini to practice yoga. While there is no wrong time to practice yoga, I have found that doing practice in the morning is the best time. After a long night of sleeping, it's a great way to wake up your body. Practicing yoga increases your flexibility and supports your posture, which helps to support your alignment. This is especially important if you are someone who sits in front of a computer all day.

While yoga is good for the body, it is equally as good for the mind. Before starting a busy day, yoga gives you a chance to unwind and focus on your own energy. What “you” do you want to show the world today? Yoga gives you the chance to start the day revitalized and ready to put your best foot forward.

In the words of Ymber Delecto, “Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self-control. Energy within and energy without.”

2. Use a Foam Roller

While yoga may help you prepare for the aches and pains you may feel from a long day of work, a foam roller does wonders for the pains that are already present. While few of us have the time to invest in frequent deep tissue massages, a foam roller provides the same pleasure. Though it might take a while to get used to the foam roller’s unique sensations, it will help your body heal from the stress that it takes on every day.

The rolling helps stimulate blood flow to release knots throughout your body. You can literally foam roll almost any part of your body. While this might sound too good to be true, you can often get a foam roller for less than $20 at any store that sells fitness goods. There are also an endless amount of options on Amazon, from the most basic designs to complex textures meant for those with intense workouts. Keep your foam roller close to your yoga mat so that you can get in a yoga session and a foam rolling session before you even leave your bedroom!

3. Recite Positive Affirmations

It is so easy to be controlled by limiting stories and beliefs. My limiting beliefs used to control my world, so much so that I was extremely anxious and depressed. It wasn't until I started to condition my mind with positive and uplifting thoughts that my internal landscape started to shift.

I am living proof that reciting positive affirmations works. This isn't to say that I don't still have negative thoughts from time to time. However, these thoughts are fleeting. Just like building a muscle, you need to actively strengthen your mind every single day. If not, your inner critic will take center stage. 

Affirmations work their magic by shifting disempowering belief systems and replacing them with more empowering ones. To make affirmations work, you need to know which belief(s) you want to change. Do you lack confidence, have body issues, or question whether or not you even deserve success? Find an area of life that you want to develop. If you make positive affirmations an integral part of your morning ritual, your mind will start to believe them to to be true.

Here are some of the morning ritual affirmations that I say to myself every day. 

• I always focus on and find the good in everything.
• Life doesn’t happen to me, it happens for me.
• In order to earn more, I must learn more.
• If I change, everything will change for me.
• The past does not equal the future.

Choose affirmations that resonate with you. If you need help, there are thousands of affirmations online to choose from. You can recite them out loud to yourself in the mirror while you are getting ready for work. Similarly, you could integrate them into your yoga practice and silently repeat them to yourself while you move your body. 

4. Meditate

You don't have to be a guru to experience the benefits of meditation. I've got to be honest… when I first started meditating, I didn't connect with the practice on an emotional level. I knew that it was a “healthy” thing to do, but I couldn't wrap my head around how sitting in silence with your eyes closed could change your life. However, once I forced myself to meditate on a daily basis, over time, I was hooked.

I started to notice the effects that it was having on my mental and emotional state. Sitting in silence for 10 minutes every day has been a game changer in my life. It has allowed me to effectively cope with stress and find inner calmness and clarity, which has become my natural state of being.

The best way to get started with meditation is to just start!

Find a quiet and calm place, void of distractions. The moment that I wake up I prop up my pillow and go inward. I focus on my breath and the present moment. I don't try to force my mind to go blank. That is impossible. Instead, I become an active observer of my thoughts. I notice what comes up and then I allow my thoughts to come and go. 

If you’ve never practiced meditation before, spend a few mornings finding what suits you best. Some people like to meditate in total silence, while others like to listen to relaxing music or sing along to mantras. If you can start your day with a relaxed mind, free of worry, you are winning at life. Remember that every day is a new opportunity to start fresh. Meditation gives you that freedom.

5. Start Journaling 

In my experience, journaling first thing in the morning is a great way to make sense of your thoughts. This process is not only cathartic but it gives you an opportunity to check-in with where you are and how you feel.

Before you engage with the external world, why not take a look at what's happening in your inner world? You don't have to write a thesis. Even one sentence is enough. If you give yourself the space to write freely, you will surprise yourself how much you have to express.

Journaling has become my favorite mind dump exercise. It helps me connect with my feelings, especially when I'm struggling with something that I just can't find the answer to. Sometimes it's impossible to express how you feel in words. Writing is a great alternative for self-expression.

As part of my morning ritual, I engage in an exercise where I write in my Five Minute Journal. Using the science of positivity to improve happiness, this journal is structured in such a way that inspires you to start and end each day with gratitude.

As part of this process, I ask myself three questions that allow me to set an intention for my day ahead. Not only does this make me feel more grounded, but it also helps me create more empowering beliefs. The next time that you journal, don't overthink it. Just allow your thoughts to flow and don't give yourself a limit to your creativity. Your thoughts are important. Honor them. By doing so, you honor yourself as well.

6. Engage In Random Acts of Kindness

I've talked a lot about how to nourish yourself before you start your day. Without a healthy sense of self, it is difficult to have the energy to give to others. However, there comes a point when you need to go out into the world and connect with others. A great way of getting yourself out of a bad mood and lifting your spirits is by engaging in random acts of kindness.

Every day that I wake up I ask myself, “How can I be of service to others?” There’s no denying that giving makes you feel good. If you can instill some happiness in your day and in someone else's simultaneously, you are winning.

You don’t have to join a non-profit and travel to Africa to make a difference. Start in your community. It can be as easy as paying for the coffee of the person standing behind you in line. Similarly, you could hold the door open for someone. It's that simple. When someone is the recipient of your random act of kindness, they may even pay it forward, creating a beautiful exchange of love. In my experience, there is no greater feeling than knowing that you have made someone's day brighter.

7. Celebrate Yourself

How often do you celebrate yourself? Every day, once a week, once a month… or worse, never? I think that all of us could take more time to celebrate how far we've come, no matter how small the milestone may be. Thinking about yourself in a positive way is one of the best things that you can do for your health and well-being. If you want the world to celebrate you and your gifts, then you first must learn to accept yourself unconditionally.

Let's be real… life can be hard sometimes. It is during your lowest moments when you need to love yourself the most. Research shows that recognizing your own achievements has the power to boost your motivation and performance. Praising yourself may feel awkward at first, especially if you don't do it enough.

Just keep in mind that the celebration of oneself is a lifelong journey. Just take one day at a time. You're doing a great job. You are enough. Make sure that you remind yourself of this every single day.

A morning ritual will supercharge your mind, body, and spirit.

Today I would like to walk you through my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity. This routine allows me to optimize my body, mind, and spirit so that I can perform at my best, every day.

I’m a big believer in the power of rituals. I’ve been doing them since I was 17 years old. I used to struggle with shyness, social anxiety, and depression.

By creating a morning ritual, I was able to recondition my beliefs and transform every area of my life.

The morning is the best time to condition your mindset. Research shows that your mood in the morning affects your productivity all day.

Are you ready to wake up every day, feeling more productive, energized, and happier? My morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity will allow you to make that happen.

Discipline is one of greatest barriers that prevent people from achieving success in life. If you want to build habits that stick, you need to be consistent with them. In the words of Tony Robbins says, “The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”

How you start the day is how you end the day. If you only engage in a habit once in a while, it won’t stick. It’s what you do consistently that makes the difference.

How do you start your mornings?

If you wake up in a reactive state, you will move throughout your entire day feeling stressed and anxious. A lot of people believe that they need a triple espresso as soon as they get out of bed. This way of thinking is counterintuitive.

My morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity provides me with a natural ‘buzz.' It makes me feel unstoppable, without the negative effects that come from over-use of stimulants.

Do you wake up every morning, feeling tired and sluggish, even though you slept for 8 hours? If so, it’s time to start a morning ritual.

If you want to maximize your productivity, you need to spend the first part of your morning taking care of YOU. If you make your job, your partner, or your friends a priority, then you need to commit to making yourself a priority as well.

Just like you train your body at the gym, you need to train your brain every day. I treat myself as if I am a high-performance athlete. I know that if I want to get the most out of myself, I have to create rituals that will allow me to do just that.

In order to make sure that I successfully complete my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity, I create a list and check-off each activity, as I complete it.

The purpose of a checklist is so that I can visually measure my progress as time goes on. If you don’t have a plan for your life and you just move throughout your day aimlessly, then you’re not going to get the most out of it.

Here is my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity:

1. Smile

The first thing that I do the moment that I wake up is smile. When you start your day with gratitude, it shifts your entire perspective. Every day that you are alive is a gift, and you need to treat it as such. Don’t ever take your life for granted.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t feel happy and positive 100% every morning, but by training myself to smile and start the day in an empowering way, I am setting myself up for success.

Research shows that when you smile, neurochemicals and peptides are released, which tricks your body into raising your dopamine; which in turn raises your spirits and calms your nervous system.

2. Drink Water

After you’ve been sleeping for 7-8 hours your body is dehydrated, and your cells crave water. I’ve got a water ionizer that I use which produces high quality, 9.5 alkaline water.

By drinking water first thing in the morning, you kick-start your metabolism, which will give you immediate energy and flush out toxins from your body.

3. Take Supplements

I start off by taking a shot of apple cider vinegar, which is a great bacteria killer. Then, on an empty stomach, I take a digestive enzyme supplement called, Masszymes. I also take a variety of other supplements, like B12 and Vitamin D3.

Supplements like these ensure that I have energy throughout the day, so that I never have to rely on caffeine or sugar. More importantly, engaging in this body ritual ensures that I will experience optimal health and performance, over the long-term.

4. Read A Book

I spend at least 10 minutes every morning reading an inspiring book on my Kindle reader. Don’t start your day by obsessing over social media, or reading negative things on the news. Instead, try feeding your mind with positive information and commit to learning something new.

5. Write in my Journals

After reading a book, I like to write in my Five Minute Journal, a simple exercise that allows me to focus on what is most important for me to accomplish throughout my day.

I also write in my Productivity Planner, which offers a similar process. I write down what my most important task for the day is, what my secondary tasks of importance are, and then determine what my daily productivity score is.

For those of you who are spiritual, I also write in my Christian gratitude journal.

6. Lie Down On My PEMF Mat

A PEMF mat is a portable mat that produces pulsed electromagnetic fields around an individual’s body. I lie on this mat every morning and do my meditation.

The health benefits of PEMF are amazing, some of which include regenerating nerves, reducing stress and fatigue, and eliminating bodily toxins.

I hope you enjoyed learning about my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity! If you want the more in-depth version, that covers all of my rituals, then join my 7-day course, Morning Ritual Mastery.

Rituals have been the secret to my success, and have allowed me to become the person that I am today. Invest in yourself. Your body, mind, and spirit deserve it.

I would like to share with you how to detox mercury from the body. This information is based on my personal experience with mercury toxicity.

After months of research, reading books, and meeting with my naturopath, I am still going through the process of detoxing mercury from my body. All the knowledge that I have learned from these different sources has really empowered me to be proactive with my health.

Oftentimes, people don’t do anything about their health until it’s too late. Your health is your wealth. Be proactive, take action, and invest in it. Without health, you have nothing.

In the words of Josh Billings, “Health is like money. We never have a true idea of its value until we lose it.” Are you ready to take control of your health and learn how to detox mercury from the body?

If you have experienced mercury or lead toxicity, I want to share with you what I have learned thus far that has helped me in my detoxification journey.

A lot of people have mercury or lead toxicity in their bodies, but they have no idea. This blog post is also for you, as it will create awareness about this health issue.

I’m not a doctor. This is purely based on my own experience.

By all means, please do your own research and due diligence in order to get the best help that you need in order to get yourself back to optimal health and wellbeing.

One year ago, Tony Robbins, who many of you know is a big mentor of mine, publically shared that he was diagnosed with mercury toxicity. His story inspired me to get tested as well.

A few months ago I did an EDTA/DMPS chelating agent test. This process involved putting an IV into my vein, and the chelating agent went into my bloodstream, pulling out minerals and toxic metals that I had in my tissues.

I then collected my urine for 12-24 hours and sent it a lab for analysis, which then determined the levels of metals that were in my body.

I shared my heavy metal toxicity results online, because I wanted to spread awareness of the harmful effects of mercury toxicity. I was shocked by what I found. Immediately, I took action.

The question is, “How did I get heavy metal toxicity?” There are multiple reasons why this can happen. Sometimes you can get this because of genetics, fish, lead-based paints or construction sites, or from the mercury that is found in cavity fillings, otherwise known as, amalgam.

If you decide to remove your mercury amalgam fillings, it is so important that you follow a safe protocol. Do your research and find a dentist that is trained in this procedure. I recommend that you read Andy Cutler’s book, Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment : What You Can Do to Get Better, How Your Doctor Can Help, in order to learn more about the effects of amalgam on the body.

My naturopath recommended that I do more IV chelation therapy, but I wanted to do more research, because I read that there can be negative side effects with this form of therapy.

I found a website called, DMPS Backfire, where people share information regarding DMPS, and the adverse effects that the drug has on the physiology of the body. The information was shocking, but informative, especially for those who have been advised by their doctors to do IV chelation therapy.

After some more research, I came across a man named, Andy Cutler, who teaches a safe protocol of how to detox mercury from the body. Andy Cutler created a Facebook group, comprised of a community support group of people who are detoxing from mercury or lead toxicity, which I found to be super helpful.

Based on what I learned from Andy Cutler's protocol, I want to share with you the safest and most natural way of how to detox mercury from the body.

Below is a description of the detox process that I am currently going through. This is how to detox mercury from the body:

I take ALA, in conjunction with DMSA or DNPS, in an oral form. The ALA acts by pulling the metals out of your tissue. I recommend starting at a low dose in order to see how your body reacts. This will determine how your body is detoxing.

This process can take anywhere between 3 days to 3 weeks. Start with 12.5 milligrams of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), which is a small amount. Most capsules of ALA are 100-milligrams, so you will need to divide the dose.

Do this every 3 hours, including while you sleep. You need to follow this protocol religiously and exactly as outlined in the protocol.

However long it takes for you to finish one round of capsules, take that same amount of time, off. Then, do another round, at a higher dose, and keep upping it. Keep in mind that the goal is not to be aggressive with this detox process. Doing so can be dangerous.

I recommend sweating while you are detoxing, as this is a great way to release the toxins from your body. A solid sauna or steam is a great idea.

If you want to learn more about how to diagnose mercury toxicity and safely remove toxic metals from your body, I highly recommend that you read David Hammond's book, Mercury Poisoning: The Undiagnosed Epidemic: Source of Mercury and How To Detox.

It can take 1-2 years to detox mercury out of your body, and 4+ years if you have severe levels of it in your body. It’s a long-term journey, but what other option do you have? It’s a sacrifice, but if it means that you will be happier and healthier in the future, it’s worth it.

Taking care of my health is my top priority. I hope this information on how to detox mercury from the body empowers you to be proactive with your health, and take the necessary steps in order to rid your body of these harmful toxic metals.

Take it from Loretta Lanphier – “If you are not making choices towards wellness, you are choosing illness. Use your power of choice wisely.”

I would like to share with you 5 tricks on how to sleep better and wake up with unstoppable energy. Do you get enough sleep, or do you wake up feeling constantly tired and drained? If so, you aren’t alone.

Sleep seems like a very simple thing, but it's an undervalued activity. In today’s stress-induced, technology driven, coffee addicted world, it’s more important than ever before.

All of these stimulants interfere with our natural sleep/wake cycle. Unfortunately, a lot of people suffer from chronic lack of sleep.

New research suggests that a good night's rest isn't a luxury – it's critical for your brain and for your health.

A good night’s sleep is essential to optimal health. Are you ready to wake up every day feeling energized and refreshed on an emotional, mental, and physical level?

I always thought, because I got 7-8 hours of sleep every night, I was set. However, it wasn’t until I purchased an OURA ring that I realized that I wasn’t getting enough deep sleep.

The OURA ring, otherwise known as the world’s first ring-size wellness computer, is a high-performance activity and sleep tracker.

When you are sleeping there are three different sleep cycles that you go through – deep, REM, and light. Deep sleep is the most restorative and beneficial form of sleep.

With the OURA ring, I am able to track my sleeping patterns, and what I found was that my deep sleep was really low.

You want to have up to 2 hours of deep sleep every night. The OURA ring showed me that, some nights, I was only getting 10-20 minutes of deep sleep.

I took a step back and asked myself, “Why is it that I sleep for 8 hours, but still move throughout my day feeling tired?” 

It’s not just about quantity of your sleep that matters. The quality of your sleep is just as important, if not more.

Research shows that sleep deprivation can be a possible risk factor for serious physical conditions, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and suppression of the immune system. This proves the importance that sleep plays in the impact of our overall health and well-being.

You spend one-third of your life sleeping, so you want to make sure that you are doing it right! Sleep has the power to transform your entire life. Literally.

Below are 5 tips on how to sleep better and wake up with unstoppable energy. I’ve personally tested all of these things and they’ve made a huge difference in my life:

1. Swannies Blue Blocker Sunglasses

I wear Swannies Blue Blocker sunglasses in the evening time. Their purpose is to block out the harmful lights and rays that prevent my body from releasing melatonin and falling asleep. If you use your phone, watch TV, or are using your computer at night, turn these off a few hours before bed.

2. Sleep Master Sleep Mask

This is like a pillow for your face. The Sleep Master sleep mask helps with light elimination AND sound reduction.

It’s really important to make sure that your room is pitch black when you go to sleep. In fact, Arianna Huffington wrote a book called, Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time. She swears by it when she travels.

3. ChiliPad

The ChiliPad is a mattress pad with a cooling and heating temperature control system that allows you to cool or heat the temperature of your mattress so that you will never be too hot or too cold.

This is important because the temperature that you sleep at effects the quality of your deep sleep. This is a great product to use if you sleep with a partner, given that research shows 95% of partners enjoy different temperature levels when they sleep.

4. PEMFs

A PEMF Mat is a portable mat that produces pulsed electromagnetic fields around an individual’s body. This field then delivers healing energy to the body by producing negative ions and far infrared waves.

Another great alternative is the Earth Pulse sleep machine, which utilizes electrically generated pulsed electromagnetic fields to program the brain toward deep sleep. Both of these products have helped to drastically improve my sleep.

5. Melatonin, CBD, or GABA supplements

Melatonin is a hormone in the body that regulates your cycle of sleeping and waking. It is a great supplement to use if you are jet lagged, because it resets your wake cycle. That being said, I suggest you make an effort to regulate your sleep cycle naturally as much as possible.

Cannabidiol, or CBD oil, as it is commonly referred to, works with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for all the homeostatic functions of the body. CBD can be extremely effective in regulating your REM sleep.

Lastly, GABA is a neuroinhibitory transmitter, which is what your brain uses in order to shut itself down at the end of the day. Any of these supplements are great options for achieving a better sleep.

How To Sleep Better

The healing power of sleep cannot be ignored. I suggest that you follow these 5 tricks on how to sleep better and wake up with unstoppable energy.

They will make a drastic improvement in your energy levels throughout the day and your overall mood. Sleep supports your mind, body, and spirit.

Life mastery requires persistence, commitment, passion, and hard work. Do you want to know how to decide what to focus on and master? I’m here to show you. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I would like to share with you what has worked for me, and hopefully it resonates with you.

Like many entrepreneurs, when I first started growing my business, I made a lot of mistakes, which was a great learning experience for me. The beauty of mistakes is that they clarify what it is that we really want and how we want to live our lives. Robert Kiyosaki said it best, “Don’t waste a good mistake. Learn from it.” An MRI study published in the journal, Nature Communications, found that making a mistake can feel good, if our brains are given a chance to learn from it.

At the end of the day, I believe that the determining factor for how to decide what to focus on and master in your life is to live in accordance with your vision and purpose. What makes you come alive inside? If you don't wake up every day feeling a sense of excitement and vitality for the day ahead, it's time to make a change.

That being said, my passion has evolved and changed over the years, and that is OK. Passions can influence your identity, but they don’t have to define who you are. I went through a phase where I wanted to master business and marketing, but now I’m at a stage in my life where I want to master self-development in its totality. If you love what you do, passion is easy.

Change can be difficult, especially when it requires breaking years of bad habits. Although I am a proponent of mastering all areas of your life, I also know that it can be challenging to change too much at once. If you want to master your life, you need to find ways to be consistent.

Research has shown that you are two to three times more likely to stick with your habits if you make a specific plan for when, where, and how you will perform the behaviour.

It is impossible to be in balance, 100% of the time. It does not exist. If you try to force mastery, you will drive yourself crazy. When children are playing on a seesaw and it’s in balance, do you think they are having fun? No. We need to be in conscious imbalance in order to move, perform at our best, and enjoy life.

In the quest to understanding who you are and what matters in your life, sometimes you need to swing from one extreme to the other. In doing so, you will find your flow and discover a balance that will satisfy your goals and dreams. In the words of Joyce Meyer, “Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don’t live in a perfect world.”

At certain times in my life, I have focused my energy on mastering different areas of my life. For example, when I was younger, I placed more emphasis on mastering my mind, emotions, and relationships because I wanted to grow my self-confidence and improve my dating skills. I didn’t care about business and finances.

Oftentimes we look at each area of life in isolation from one another. However, eventually I got to a point where I realized that each area of my life worked together and affected one other. I knew that if I mastered my mind and emotions, it would support my business and finances. If I improved my health, it would help my relationships because I would feel more confident.

How to decide what to focus on and master in your life doesn’t have to be a difficult process. A clear sense of purpose allows you to focus your efforts on what matters most. If you want to achieve life mastery, you need to fall in love with the process of it. It requires that you are committed, disciplined, hardworking, and most of all, passionate.

Find out what it is that makes you come alive and then devote all of your energy to it. When you do so, life mastery becomes yours for the taking.

I would like to share with you some reasons why you should meditate every day. This is a practice that has greatly impacted my life. Meditation is one of the most effective ways to cope with stress and find a sense of inner calmness and peace from the daily pressures that life brings.

In AsapScience’s, “The Scientific Power of Meditation,” Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown explain that meditation yields a number of benefits, including the ability to fight (not cure) diseases, increase empathy, and even leads to physical changes in the brain (Borreli, 2015).

How would it feel to start your day feeling calm and grounded? Let the power of meditation help you achieve this peaceful state of being. In the words of Ram Dass, “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” There is no greater reason for why you should meditate every day.

I am not a master of meditation, but it is something that I have committed to going deeper with over the last six months. Intellectually I always knew that meditation was good for me, but I never did it because I didn’t associate to it on an emotional level.

Once I forced myself to meditate over a period of time and started to notice the benefits that it had on my emotional, mental, and spiritual state, then I believed in its potential to change my life. So much so, that meditation is now a part of my daily morning ritual.

Sometimes in life you need to do something that you don’t necessarily want to do, in order to see the long-term benefits of it. Just like going to the gym every day and committing to exercise your body. When you first start exercising, you may experience discomfort and soreness, and you might think, “What is the benefit of this?”

However, when you start seeing changes in your body and energy levels, you realize why you took the time to exercise in the first place. The same thing goes with meditation. There is nothing better that you can do than to learn how to calm your strongest muscle – your mind. Once you start seeing the benefits of meditation, it will motivate you to go even deeper, because you will start seeing the purpose of it.

The trigger that got me into meditation was a pattern that I started noticing, which was negatively affecting my life. I realized that I had an addiction. Let me be clear that an addiction can be to anything – to shopping, food, video games, pornography, information, etc. It doesn’t have to be something drastic, like drug or alcohol abuse.

Here is the test to know whether or not you have an addiction to something – try taking time away from a pattern of behaviour that you consistently find yourself doing. If you have cravings or temptations to bring it back into your life, that’s when you know it is a problem.

I had an addiction to technology. I found that every time that I felt uncomfortable or experienced a negative emotion, I would take out my phone and look through my social media. I found myself spending way too much time online. All addiction stems from a fear of emptiness and being alone.

Human beings are so terrified of being present and doing NOTHING, that oftentimes uncomfortable feeling emerge within them. They use things in order to distract themselves. What are you distracting yourself from? For a lot of people, it means distracting themselves from something that needs to be healed or resolved internally.

When we feel like we have no control over our lives, we tend to resist or avoid what is going on inside our body, mind, and soul. Through meditation, I learned that the way to overcome my addiction was to practice being present and experience nothing for a short period of time.

Always remember that whatever you resist will persist. If thoughts come up, merely observe them. Let them come into your mind, accept them, and then let them go. Since I started meditating, I feel more empowered and complete on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level. I have more control over my mind and my thoughts.

When you master your mind, you become less reactive. Today, I find that I am more present and in the moment when I am interacting with people, both in my work and in my personal life. I meditate for 20 minutes twice a day, usually in the afternoons and then before bed. I’ve experimented with all kinds of meditation.

I’ve learned that, as with any industry or school of thought, ultimately you need to find what works for you. If you think you are too busy to meditate, think again. Studies have shown that meditating just ten minutes a day reduces stress, lowers cortisol levels, and improves your outlook on life (Sarich, 2015). These are some reasons why you should meditate every day.

We all lead busy lives, but if we want to achieve life mastery, it is important that we feel a sense of balance, in our body, mind, and soul. Take the time to invest in yourself. Go deeper and embrace the power of meditation. You don’t have to be a guru in order to enjoy the benefits that meditation provides.

In the words of Eckhart Tolle, “One conscious breath – in and out – is a meditation.” Your mind will thank you for it.
