The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

Minute One…
Envision  yourself  waking  up  peacefully  in  the  morning,  with  a
big  yawn,  a  stretch,  and  a  smile  on  your  face.  Instead  of  rushing
carelessly  into  your  hectic  day—stressed  and  overwhelmed—you
spend  the  first  minute  sitting  quietly,  in  purposeful Silence. You  sit,
very calm, very peaceful, and breathe deeply, slowly. Maybe you say
a prayer of gratitude to appreciate the moment, or pray for guidance
on  your  journey.  Maybe  you  decide  to  try  your  first  minute  of
meditation. As you sit in silence, you’re totally present in the now, in
the  moment. You  calm  your  mind,  relax  your  body,  and  allow  all  of
your  stress  to  melt  away.  You  develop  a  deeper  sense  of  peace,
purpose, and direction…
Minute Two…
You pull out your daily  Affirmations—the ones that remind you
of  your  unlimited  potential  and  your  most  important  priorities—and
you  read  them  out  loud  from  top  to  bottom. As  you  focus  on  what’s
most  important  to  you,  your  level  of  internal  motivation  increases.
Reading over the reminders of how capable you really are gives you a
feeling of confidence. Looking over what you’re committed to, what
your purpose is, and what your goals are re-energizes you to take the
actions  necessary  to live  the  life  you  truly  want,  deserve,  and  now
know is possible for you…
Minute Three…
You  close  your  eyes,  or  you  look  at  your  vision  board,  and  you

---

visualize. Your  Visualization could include what it will look and feel
like  when  you  reach  your  goals.  You  visualize  the  day  going
perfectly, see yourself enjoying your work, smiling and laughing with
your  family  or  your  significant  other,  and  easily  accomplishing  all
that you intend to accomplish for that day. You see what it will look
like, you feel what it will feel like, and you experience the joy of what
you will create…
Minute Four…
You  take  one  minute  to  write  down  some  of  the  things  that
you’re  grateful  for,  what  you’re  proud  of,  and  the  results  you’re
committed  to  creating  for  that  day.  In  doing  so,  you  create  for
yourself an empowered, inspired, and confident state of mind…
Minute Five…
Then,  you  grab  your  self-help  book  and  invest  one  miraculous
minute  reading  a  page  or  two. You  learn  a  new  idea,  something  you
can incorporate into your day which will improve your results at work
or in your relationships. You discover something new that you can use
to think and feel better—to live better…
Minute Six…
Finally,  you  stand  up  and  spend  the  last  minute  moving  your
body for 60 seconds. Maybe you run in place, maybe you do a minute
of jumping-jacks. Maybe you do push-ups or sit-ups. The point is that
you’re  getting  your  heart  rate  up,  generating  energy  and  increasing
your ability to be alert and focused.
How would you feel if that’s how you utilized the first 6-minutes
of  each  day?  How  would  the  quality  of  your  day—your  life—
improve?

I  don’t  suggest  you  limit  your Miracle  Morning  to  only  six
minutes  every  day,  but  as  I  said,  on  those  days  when  you’re  pressed
for time, The 6-minute Miracle Morning provides a powerful strategy
for accelerating your personal development.
