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.

Sitting is worse than smoking cigarettes! Are you sitting too much? Some of the simplest things in life are the most difficult to do. If you want to master your life, you need to master the simple things in life, like sitting less.

You might know what you need to do, but the question is, “Are you doing it and living it?”

So many of us take the power of movement for granted, but research shows if you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to sit less and move more.

Worldwide, it is estimated that a sedentary lifestyle is responsible for 6% of coronary heart disease cases, 7% of type 2 diabetes, 10% of breast cancers, and 10% of colon cancers. Most shocking is that, recently, it was reported that inactivity is responsible for more annual deaths than smoking.

Are you sitting too much? If so, it’s time to get up!

The world of technology has created a sedentary culture, where people are sitting and staring at their cell phones, tablets, or computer screens for hours on end.

The effects of this way of life can take a toll on our bodies, both physically and mentally.

Human beings were designed to move, not to sit all day. The book, Get Up!: Why Your Chair Is Killing You And What You Can Do About It, opened my eyes to the negative effects of sitting, and made a huge impact on my life.

In his book, James Levine makes bold claims about the negative effects of sitting, like how sitting is worse than smoking cigarettes! In the words of Nilofer Merchant, “Sitting has become the smoking of our generation.”

Below are four things that you can do in order to motivate yourself to sit less and move more:

1. Track Your Activity 

I recommend that you get an activity tracker, something that will allow you to track your overall activity throughout the day. In the past, I used a product called, Fitbit, which is a wireless pedometer, activity, and sleep tracker that monitors and tracks your daily activity.

Now I use a product called, The OURA ring, which is a lot more advanced than a Fitbit. Not only does it track my activity throughout the day, but also the different stages of my sleep, my heart rate, and my body temperature.

A cool feature of the OURA ring is that I have the ability to put it in airplane mode.

One of the biggest negative effects of technology is that it produces dirty electricity. Having too many electromagnetic fields around us, whether that’s by way of a cell phone or a computer, can be seriously harmful to our health.

Dirty electricity can affect everything from our mood, sleep, and energy levels. This is one of the main reasons why I chose to switch from a Fitbit to an OURA ring.

2. Get A Treadmill Desk

If you work from home or are someone that likes to spend a lot of time in front of the computer, investing in a treadmill desk will be a game-changer for you.

I purchased a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk because sitting was killing me. This desk has radically shifted my energy levels throughout my day, improved my mood, and my overall level of productivity.

I use it for a few hours every day, especially when I'm doing calls or webinars. If the Treadmill Desk is too expensive for you, a great alternative is a stand-up desk.

You will probably spend one-third of your life working. If you can make a simple change in your life, from sitting to standing more often while you work, it will have a compounding effect over time.

I value my health above anything else because it allows me to live my life to the fullest and experience optimal levels of happiness, productivity, energy, and success.

3. Start Rebounding

The rebounder, also known as a mini-trampoline, applies weight and movement to every cell, making the entire body more flexible and stronger.

I jump up and down on my rebounder a few times a day. The health benefits of rebounding are endless. It improves flexibility, digestion and lymphatic circulation, increases strength and flexibility, and is a great way to manage stress. Not to mention it’s fun!

If you decide to invest in a rebounder, it is important that you don’t buy a cheap one, as it can cause back problems. The good ones sell for about $300. This product has been a game changer for my health and well-being.

Get active and start bouncing!

4. Start The Day Active

A cost-effective and easy way to move your body is by engaging in some sort of aerobic exercise every day. A great way to start your morning is with a brisk walk or a run.

I don’t know about you, but when I sit for long periods of time, my energy goes way down. When you engage your body, your brain turns on and you feel more alive inside. Anything that gives you more energy will allow you to do and achieve more. In the words of Natalie Garay, “Moving your body is a form of self-care. It’s not selfish. It’s essential.”

Movement is the key to optimal health and happiness. Sitting is worse than smoking cigarettes! Are you sitting too much? If you are sitting right now, get up and start moving your body!
