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

My First Journal Re-view
On  December  31
st
,  after  my  first  year  doing The  Miracle
Morning  and  writing  in  my  journal,  I  began  reading  the  first  page  I
had  written  that  year.  Day  by  day,  I  started  to  review  and  relive  my
entire year. I was able to revisit my mindset from each day, and gain a
new  perspective  as  to  how  much  I  had  grown  throughout  the  year.  I
reexamined  my  actions,  activities,  and  progress,  giving  me  a  new
appreciation  for  how  much  I  had  accomplished  during  the  past  12

picture  me  as  Marty  McFly  stepping  out  of  a  1985  DeLorean). As  I
read  through  my  journal,  my  current  self  (which  was  also  the future
self of who I was at the time I wrote those journal entries) was now
looking  back  at  all  of  the  people,  experiences,  lessons,  and
accomplishments that I took note of being grateful for throughout the
year. As I was in that moment reliving the gratitude that I felt in the
past, I was simultaneously feeling grateful in the present moment for
how  far  I  had  come  since  that  time  in  my  life.  It  was  a  remarkable
experience, and a bit surreal.
