Hey there! Welcome back! You step into Day 6 with your victories from Day 5 gleaming behind you — victories in the form of shattered myths and limiting beliefs. How electrifying is that?
But guess what? The journey doesn't stop here. Today, we'll explore the potent power of habit, and its role in making our morning routines stick. Because let's face it - we can have all the knowledge in the world, but if we don’t put it into practice, if we don't form and break habits consistently, it all just remains theory, doesn't it? So, let's get out there and transform our knowledge into empowered action.
“Excellence is not an act, it's a habit. Begin each day with a ritual that sets the tone for success."
Before something becomes a habit or routine, it takes a lot of willpower and effort to make it stick. It's like trying to push a boulder uphill. And let's face it, we need that willpower for other things throughout our days. We can't waste it all on trying to remember every little step of our new morning routine. Here’s the good news: once those habits are locked in, they become automatic, like brushing your teeth before hopping into bed.
So here's what I suggest: devise an awesome morning routine that suits you and your life, and then stick to it for at least three weeks. This is the secret sauce, to turning it into a strong, unbreakable habit. Soon enough, it'll feel like second nature to you. You won't have to even think twice about it. It'll be just as easy as making your morning cup of joe, no reminders or pep-talks needed. Even if your new routine involves a 30-minute run or waking up at the crack of dawn to tackle some of your most important work, it'll become a seamless part of your day.
Life has a sneaky way of throwing us off track. Old habits and routines have a tendency to creep back in. It happens to the best of us. So, when one of those moments arises, when life gets in the way, it's vital to catch it early and get right back on track as soon as possible.
You've been crushing it with your new morning routine, diligently waking up 30 minutes earlier to go for that refreshing run. But one day, you sleep through the alarm, or the weather throws a tantrum, or some unexpected obstacle pops up. It's okay, my friend. Life has a sense of humor. What really matters is your response the following morning.
When life spins you off course, your main mission is to swiftly get back on that path. Do what you can, even within the limitations of the situation. If the weather isn't cooperating, do a quick workout at home or head to the gym for a run on the treadmill. If you oversleep, squeeze in a few moments of meditation or dedicate some time to fueling your business growth before diving into the day. But most importantly, get back on track with your regular morning routine as soon as you can. Aim to resume those new habits the very next morning, if possible. And keep reminding yourself to stay focused for a few days until it feels like second nature again. Trust me, when you see the incredible results you've been hoping for, you'll thank yourself for bouncing back.
