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

Step 3: Whom You Are Committed To  Being To Create
It
As  my  first  Coach,  Jeff  Sooey  used  to  say,  this  is  where  the
rubber meets the road. In other words, your life gets better only after
you get better. Your outer world improves only after you’ve invested
countless  hours  improving  yourself. Being (who  you  need  to  be)  and
doing (what  you  need  to  do)  are  prerequisites  for having  what  you
want  to  have.  Get  clear  on  who  you  need  to  be,  are committed  to
being, in order to take your life, business, health, marriage, etc. to the
next level and beyond.
Step 4: What You’re Committed To Doing To Attain It
Which  actions  will  you  need  to  take  on  a  consistent  basis  to
make  your  vision  for  your  ideal  life  a  reality?  Want  to  lose  weight?
Your affirmation might say something like:  I am 100% committed to
going  to  the  gym  5  days  a  week  and  running  on  the  treadmill  for  a
minimum  of  20  minutes.  If  you’re  a  salesperson,  your  affirmation
might  read: I’m committed to making 20 prospecting calls every day,
from 8am-9am. The more specific your actions are, the better. Be sure
to  include  frequency  (how  often),  quantity  (how  many),  and  precise
time frames (what times you’ll begin and end your activities.)

It’s  also  important  to  start  small.  If  you’re  going  to  the  gym  0
days a week for 0 minutes, going to 5 days a week for 20 minutes is a
big  leap.  It’s  important  to  take  manageable  steps.  Feel  small
successes  along  the  way  so  you  feel  good  and  don’t  get  discouraged
by setting expectations too high to be able to maintain. You can build
up  to  your  ideal  goal.  Start  by  writing  down  a  daily  or  weekly  goal
and  decide  when  you  will  increase  it.  After  a  few  weeks  of
successfully meeting your goal of going to the gym 2-days-a-week for
20 minutes, then move it up to 3-days-a-week for 20 minutes, and so
on.
