These people have DECIDED<\/strong> to live their life the way they want and have cultivated a consistent, daily ritual that makes them the way that they are.<\/p>\n You are what you repeatedly do everyday.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You are defined by your RITUALS – what you do on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n If you're always miserable, unhappy, anxious, living in fear, etc… it's because you have RITUALS that may not even be aware of, that are creating these emotions in your body on a consistent basis. \u00a0You've literally TRAINED yourself to be this way through practice and conditioning.<\/p>\n Can you change? \u00a0YES. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Can you be happy, confident, and passionate each day? YES.<\/strong><\/p>\n How? DECIDE.<\/strong><\/p>\n I want to share with you below my most powerful video yet. \u00a0In this 35-minute video blog, I will take you through my ENTIRE MORNING RITUAL<\/strong> – what I do every single day to set myself up to win.<\/p>\n How you start the day is how you end the day.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This is EXACTLY how I do it – my secret to self-confidence, happiness, and vitality<\/strong>. \u00a0By doing this morning ritual, I feel literally UNSTOPPABLE everyday. It creates a powerful momentum and allows me to start off the day with energy, be productive, focused, healthy, and happy. \u00a0As a result, negativity doesn't seem to affect me much and I'm able to live my life PROACTIVELY, instead of out of reaction.<\/p>\n If you sew the same seeds, you'll reap the same rewards.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The notion behind having a Morning Ritual is to gift the most scarce resource you have, which is time, to YOU. \u00a0To make you the most important thing in your life, and to ensure that you're at your best.<\/p>\n Let me ask you… if you REALLY LOVE someone, how do you show them that love?<\/strong><\/p>\n Not only that, but you might do things to make that person feel INCREDIBLE – perhaps compliment them, tell them how much you love them, or celebrate together. \u00a0Again, how often do you take the time to compliment yourself, love yourself, and allow yourself to feel incredible?<\/p>\n Most of us are too busy beating ourselves up – and I'm sure if you did that to someone else, you wouldn't be in a relationship with them very long.<\/p>\n Doesn't it only make sense to nurture the most important relationship you have, which is with yourself? \u00a0This Morning Ritual, or “Hour of Power” if you would, accomplishes that.<\/p>\n If you want to take your life to a whole new level, then create an empowering Morning Ritual that you'll stick to everyday and COMMIT to it.<\/strong> \u00a0Make it non-negotiable. \u00a0I don't care if you have to wake up earlier or sleep less, just do it – no excuses. \u00a0If you actually do this, I promise you that life will never be the same again.<\/p>\n Watch the video of my Morning Ritual below:<\/strong><\/p>\n \n (Or, you can\u00a0watch the video on YouTube by clicking here!<\/a>)<\/p>\n [smart_track_player url=”http:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/9299\/172042-plm-002-my-morning-ritual-how-to-be-productive-happy-healthy-everyday.mp3″ ]<\/p>\n I'm going to break down my Morning Ritual here for you guys and go more into details on what I outline in the video.<\/p>\n This is the first and most important thing to do the moment your eyes open.<\/p>\n First, it reminds you to be HAPPY and APPRECIATE the fact that you're alive<\/strong> – it's an act of gratitude. Second, it is engaging your physiology, which changes your state. \u00a0There are over 50 muscles in your face, and most of them are being used the moment you smile. \u00a0You will begin to feel good immediately.<\/p>\n Next, stretch out and loosen up your body while still in bed. You want to make sure your muscles are ALIVE and AWAKE<\/strong> for the beginning of an incredible day. \u00a0You need to get out of zombie-mode and get the blood-flow circulating through your body.<\/p>\n Every cell of your body is made up of oxygen, which it is starving for first thing in the morning. Most of us have impaired breathing while asleep, and so taking the time to consciously take in deep\u00a0breaths from your diaphragm will begin to fully oxygenate your cells and start getting rid of waste that has\u00a0accumulated\u00a0while asleep.<\/p>\n Not only that, but the brain needs oxygen – so you're instantly providing your red blood cells with more oxygen, which go through the river of life, and then is transported to your brain. \u00a0You'll instantly feel more alert and energetic.<\/strong><\/p>\n I usually start the day with a certain breathing pattern, where I inhale at a count of 5 seconds, hold for the count of 20 seconds, and then exhale at a count of 10 seconds. \u00a0Alternatively, I'll immediately get out of bed and go for a walk outside, in which case I'll do something called Breathwalking<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n For most of us, our bodies are severely dehydrated the moment we wake up. \u00a0Your cells not only need oxygen, but water as well. \u00a070% of your body is made up of water, and so it only makes sense to fully hydrate your body so that it can be start off the day at a peak level.<\/strong><\/p>\n I personally drink Kangen Water, which is filtered, ionized, alkaline water. \u00a0A Kangen Water ionizer isn't cheap, but it's well worth the investment for your health in the long run. \u00a0At least make sure you're drinking filtered, purified water for now. \u00a0Sometimes I'll add in some lemon to further alkalize the water, or mix with my water some Greens powder and make it into a Green Drink.<\/p>\n And don't just drink a sip of water – literally down 1-2 glasses. You have no idea how much your body needs it.<\/p>\n The fastest way to change your STATE is through MOVEMENT<\/strong>. \u00a0When you change the way you move, it immediately begins to change how you feel. \u00a0Emotion is created by motion.<\/strong> \u00a0And the word E-MOTION really just means “Energy in Motion”.<\/p>\n The way you use your physiology biochemically changes how you feel.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So, it's important to engage your physiology immediately. \u00a0I like to use something called a Rebounder<\/strong>, which is a mini-trampoline. \u00a0It's also known as a Lymphasizer, since it stimulates your lymphatic system, which immediately begins to eliminate waste. \u00a0Not only that, but every cell of your body gets stimulated and massaged. It gets your metabolism going, you start to feel energetic immediately, and it boosts your state.<\/strong> \u00a0There's SO MANY other amazing benefits to rebounding, which I'll be sure to talk about in a future blog post.<\/p>\n Any form of exercise or movement will do. \u00a0During summertime, I'll step outside and immediately go for a walk near the water. \u00a0Or I'll start doing jumping jacks, sit-ups, or jump on a treadmill. \u00a0Just do whatever you prefer, but again, the key is to GET MOVING!<\/strong><\/p>\n The next most powerful way to change your state is by changing your FOCUS. \u00a0This allows you to start off the day feeling remarkable through flooding your body with positive emotions.<\/p>\n Whatever you focus on, you feel.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You want to make sure that you're controlling your focus first thing in the morning, and directing it towards the way that you want to feel. The way that I personally do that is by asking myself a series of Empowering Questions<\/strong>, which change your focus, thus changing your state.<\/p>\n Here's the questions that I ask myself everyday:<\/strong><\/p>\n What am I happy about in my life right now?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> What am I excited about in my life right now?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> What am I proud of in my life?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> What am I grateful for in my life?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> What am I passionate about in my life right now?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> What am I committed to in my life right now?<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Who do I love? \u00a0Who loves me?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You have to make sure you really FEEL the emotions, not just intellectually answer the questions – but FEEL it<\/strong>. \u00a0I do this by asking the follow-up question, “What about this makes me happy?”<\/span><\/em> and “How does this make me feel?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I also like to do this process OUT LOUD<\/strong>, not just in my head. \u00a0When I speak it out loud and use my body, I am engaging my state further and it will intensify the feelings.<\/p>\n These Empowering Questions<\/strong> are taken from Tony Robbin's Awaken The Giant Within<\/a><\/strong> book, which I highly recommend.<\/p>\n Everyday, I like to make sure that I'm reminded of what my VISION<\/strong> and PURPOSE<\/strong> for my life is. \u00a0This is what really motivates me and gives me juice – it reminds me of what I'm made for and what I want my life to ultimately be about<\/strong>. \u00a0Also, by simply taking the time to read your vision or goals for life, you will begin move towards it.<\/p>\n Where focus goes, energy flows.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I have my Ultimate Vision for my life written in my Life Planner, in my iPhone, as well as a spreadsheet on my computer. \u00a0Your Ultimate Vision<\/strong> is simply what you want your life to be about – the ultimate plan and vision of who you want to be and what you want your life to look like.<\/p>\n Your Ultimate Purpose<\/strong> is the reasons WHY you want this – why you're committed to living your life this way and why you want to make this vision a reality. \u00a0This is what will create the fuel and drive to move forward.<\/p>\n I also read my Identity (who I'm committed to being)<\/strong>, along with my Code of Conduct (the standards I hold myself to each day)<\/strong>, as well as my Values and Rules<\/strong> for my life. \u00a0This might sound complicated to you, it's all stuff I will share at a later time in another blog post. \u00a0It's all based on Tony Robbins Time Of Your Life<\/a><\/strong> program and his RPM Life Management System<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0It's what I use to design and manage my life.<\/p>\n The key is to make sure you're reading and focused on your goals and who you want to be each day. \u00a0Focus on what you want and you will move towards it.<\/strong> \u00a0It could be just taking a few minutes to visualize yourself achieving a goal or staring at your vision board each day.<\/p>\n Click the button\u00a0below to get instant access to the free Life Mastery Toolkit.<\/p>\n I put together this Life Mastery Toolkit to give you the very best content that I have to help you get started in making money online, set goals for yourself, help motivate you, as well as be able to send you all of my latest video blogs as they are being released.<\/p>\n By subscribing to the Life Mastery Toolkit, you'll get instant access to:<\/strong><\/p>\n Just click the button\u00a0below and\u00a0you'll get access right away:<\/p>\n I'm always learning new things, whether it's reading a book, listening to an audio program, or going through a video program. \u00a0It's important to feed your mind with POSITIVITY, rather than turning on the news and feeding it with the negative.<\/strong>\u00a0 The act of consciously taking time each day to do this will do wonders for your state and help you develop yourself as a human being.<\/p>\n I commit to reading at least 10 pages of a good book a day.<\/strong> \u00a0Through this simple act, I've read hundreds of books. \u00a0And I have so many more sitting on my shelf to read and go through. \u00a0I like reading books that will help me at the current state of my life that I'm in – whether it's self-help, spirituality, health\/fitness, finance, business, biographies, etc… anything that will improve the quality of my life.<\/p>\n By the way, 10 pages a day equates to 300 pages a month – that's a book a month, 12 books a year!<\/strong> \u00a0Think about how much better you'll be in your life and the results you'll produce just by making this simple action a daily habit.<\/p>\n\n
