1. Get A Healthy 7+ Hours of Sleep<\/strong> The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) conducted surveys revealing that at least 40 million Americans suffer from over 70 different sleep disorders. Not only that, 60 percent of adults, and 69 percent of children, experience one or more sleep problems a few nights or more during a week.<\/p>\n In addition, more than 40 percent of adults experience daytime sleepiness severe enough to interfere with their daily activities at least a few days each month \u2014 with 20 percent reporting problem sleepiness a few days a week or more.<\/p>\n On the flip side, getting a healthy amount of sleep is linked to:<\/p>\n Increased memory You won\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n You may use stimulants to compensate, but that isn\u2019t sustainable. In the long-run, your health will fall apart. The goal needs to be long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n 2. Prayer and Meditation to Facilitate Clarity and Abundance<\/strong> Prayer and meditation facilitate intense gratitude for all that you have. Gratitude is having an abundance mindset. When you think abundantly, the world is your oyster. There is limitless opportunity and possibility for you.<\/p>\n People are magnets. When you\u2019re grateful for what you have, you will attract more of the positive and good. Gratitude is contagious.<\/p>\n Gratitude may be the most important key to success. It has been called the mother of all virtues.<\/p>\n If you start every morning putting yourself in a space of gratitude and clarity, you will attract the best the world has to offer, and not get distracted.<\/p>\n 3. Hard Physical Activity<\/strong> If you want to be among the healthy, happy, and productive people in the world, get in the habit of regular exercise. Many people go immediately to the gym to get their body moving. I have lately found that doing yard work in the wee hours of the morning generates an intense inflow of inspiration and clarity.<\/p>\n Whatever your preference, get your body moving.<\/p>\n Exercise has been found to decrease your chance of depression, anxiety, and stress. It is also related to higher success in your career.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t care about your body, every other aspect of your life will suffer. Humans are holistic beings.<\/p>\n 4. Consume 30 Grams of Protein<\/strong> According to Tim, his father did this and lost 19 pounds in one month.<\/p>\n Protein-rich foods keep you full longer than other foods because they take longer to leave the stomach. Also, protein keeps blood-sugar levels steady, which prevents spikes in hunger.<\/p>\n Eating protein first decreases your white carbohydrate cravings. These are the types of carbs that get you fat. Think bagels, toast, and donuts.<\/p>\n Tim makes four recommendations for getting adequate protein in the morning:<\/p>\n Eat at least 40% of your breakfast calories as protein 5. Take A Cold Shower<\/strong> Why would he do such a thing?<\/p>\n Cold water immersion radically facilitates physical and mental wellness.When practiced regularly, it provides long-lasting changes to your body\u2019s immune, lymphatic, circulatory and digestive systems that improve the quality of your life. It can also increase weight-loss because it boosts your metabolism.<\/p>\n A\u00a02007 research study\u00a0found that taking cold showers routinely can help treat depression symptoms often more effectively than prescription medications. That\u2019s because cold water triggers a wave of mood-boosting neurochemicals which make you feel happy.<\/p>\n There is of course, an initial fear of stepping into a cold shower. Without a doubt, if you\u2019ve tried this before, you have found yourself standing outside the shower dreading the thought of going in.<\/p>\n You may have even talked yourself out of it and said, \u201cMaybe tomorrow.\u201d And turned the hot water handle before getting in.<\/p>\n Or, maybe you jumped in but quickly turned the hot water on?<\/p>\n What has helped me is thinking about it like a swimming pool. It\u2019s a slow painful death to get into a cold pool slowly. You just need to jump in. After 20 seconds, you\u2019re fine.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the same way with taking a cold shower. You get in, you heart starts beating like crazy. Then, after like 20 seconds, you feel fine.<\/p>\n To me, it increases my willpower and boosts my creativity and inspiration. While standing with the cold water hitting my back, I practice slowing my breathing and calming down. After I\u2019ve chilled out, I feel super happy and inspired. Lots of ideas start flowing and I become way motivated to achieve my goals.<\/p>\n Plus, it\u2019s healthy to do something in the morning that kind of freaks you out! Get\u2019s you feeling alive and sets the tone for living outside your comfort zone!<\/p>\n 6. Listen to\/Read Uplifting Content<\/strong> I can easily get through one audiobook per week by just listening during my commute to school and while walking on campus.<\/p>\n Taking even 15\u201330 minutes every morning to read uplifting and instructive information changes you. It puts you in the zone to perform at your highest.<\/p>\n Over a long enough period of time, you will have read hundreds of books. You\u2019ll be knowledgeable on several topics. You\u2019ll think and see the world differently. You\u2019ll be able to make more connections between different topics.<\/p>\n 7. Review Your Life Vision<\/strong> If you read your long term goals every day you will think about them every day. If you think about them every day, and spend your days working toward them, they\u2019ll manifest.<\/p>\n Achieving goals is a science. There\u2019s no confusion or ambiguity to it. If you follow a simple pattern, you can accomplish all of your goals, no matter how big they are.<\/p>\n A fundamental aspect of that is writing them down and reviewing them every single day.<\/p>\n 8. Do At Least One Thing Towards Long-Term Goals Consequently, you need to do the hard stuff first thing in the morning. The important stuff.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t, it simply will not get done. By the end of your day, you\u2019ll be exhausted. You\u2019ll be fried. There will be a million reasons to just start tomorrow. And you will start tomorrow \u2014 which is never.<\/p>\n So your mantra becomes:\u00a0The worst comes first.\u00a0Do that thing you\u2019ve been needing to do. Then do it again tomorrow.<\/p>\n If you take just one step toward you big goals every day, you\u2019ll realize those goals weren\u2019t really far away.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/em> Because you\u2019ll have done all these things, you\u2019ll show up better in life. You\u2019ll be better at your job. You\u2019ll be better in your relationships. You\u2019ll be happier. You\u2019ll be more confident. You\u2019ll be more bold and daring. You\u2019ll have more clarity and vision.<\/p>\n Your life will shortly change.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t have mornings like this consistently without waking up to all that is incongruent in your life. Those things you despise will meet their demise. They\u2019ll disappear and never return.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll quickly find you\u2019re doing the work you\u2019re passionate about.<\/p>\n Your relationships will be passionate, meaningful, deep, and fun!<\/p>\n You will have freedom and abundance.<\/p>\n The world, and the universe, will respond to you in beautiful ways.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.

\nLet\u2019s face it \u2014 Sleep is just as important as eating and drinking water. Despite this, millions of people do not sleep enough and experience insane problems as a result.<\/p>\n
\nLonger life
\nDecreased inflammation
\nIncreased creativity
\nIncreased attention and focus
\nDecreased fat and increased muscle mass with exercise
\nLower stress
\nDecreased dependence on stimulants like caffeine
\nDecreased risk of getting into accidents
\nDecreased risk of depression
\nAnd tons more\u2026 google it.
\nThe rest of this blog post is worthless if you don\u2019t make sleep a priority. Who cares if you wake up at 5 o\u2019clock A.M. if you went to bed three hours earlier?<\/p>\n
\nAfter waking from a healthy and restful sleep session, prayer and meditation are crucial for orienting yourself toward the positive. What you focus on expands.<\/p>\n
\nDespite endless evidence of the need for exercise, only one-third of American men and women between the ages of 25 to 64 years engage in regular physical activity according to the Center for Disease Control\u2019s National Health Interview Survey.<\/p>\n
\nDonald Layman, professor emeritus of nutrition at the University of Illinois, recommends consuming at least 30 grams of protein for breakfast. Similarly, Tim Ferriss, in his book,\u00a0The 4-Hour Body,\u00a0also recommends 30 grams of protein 30 minutes after waking up.<\/p>\n
\nDo it with two or three whole eggs (each egg has about 6g protein)
\nIf you don\u2019t like eggs, use something like turkey bacon, organic pork bacon or sausage, or cottage cheese
\nOr, you could always do a protein shake with water
\nFor people who avoid dairy, meat, and eggs, there are several plant-based proteins. Legumes, greens, nuts, and seeds all are rich in protein.<\/p>\n
\nTony Robbins starts every morning by jumping into a 57-degree Fahrenheit swimming pool.<\/p>\n
\nOrdinary people seek entertainment. Extraordinary people seek education and learning. It is common for the world\u2019s most successful people to read at least one book per week. They are constantly learning.<\/p>\n
\nYour goals should be written down \u2014 short term and long term. Taking just a few minutes to read your life vision puts your day into perspective.<\/p>\n
\nWillpower is like a muscle that depletes when it is exercised. Similarly, our ability to make high quality decisions becomes fatigued over time. The more decisions you make, the lower quality they become \u2014 the weaker your willpower.<\/p>\n
\nAfter you\u2019ve done this, no matter what you have for the rest of your day, you\u2019ll have done the important stuff first. You\u2019ll have put yourself in a place to succeed. You\u2019ll have inched toward your dreams.<\/p>\n
