Hal Elrod’s 6-Step
Morning Routine
Hal Elrod (
www.halelrod.com
) is a professional speaker, success coach, and
author who credits his morning routine with turning his life around and
establishing a solid foundation for his success. In fact, he believes so strongly in
the
power of morning rituals, he even wrote a book about it, called
The Miracle
Morning. In an interview, Elrod told me:
The premise of The Miracle Morning
is
to wake up and start each day with the discipline of dedicating time to personal
development, so that you can become the person you need to be to create the
most extraordinary life you can imagine, and do so faster than you may
currently believe is possible. While most people focus on "doing" more to
achieve more, The Miracle Morning
is about focusing on "becoming" more so
that you can start doing less, to achieve more.
Through Elrod’s research and own experiences, he developed a system he
calls
Life S.A.V.E.R.S.
S is for Silence (quiet, gratitude, meditation, or prayer)
A is for Affirmations (purpose, goals, priorities)
V is for Visualization (of goals or ideal life)
E
is for Exercise
R is for Reading (a self-improvement book)
S is for Scribing (journaling)
Elrod makes a compelling case that no matter what level of success you
already have, using your first minutes of each morning to invest in yourself will
take you to an even higher level.
