Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • The first thing I do awake is grab my phone, and by the time I’m out of bed the inbox and the headlines have already set my mood for me
  • I wake up foggy and heavy and it takes me half the morning to feel switched on
  • However I wake up is how my whole day goes
  • Ask me what life would even look like with this thing actually solved and I go blank
  • The first thing I do before I’m even out of bed is grab my phone, and by the time I’m up my whole morning is already hijacked by other people’s emergencies

Practices that may help

  1. The Miracle Morning, Made Practical
    Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning is a stacked morning routine built from six practices — the SAVERS: Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing (journaling). The individual components range from well supported (exercise, certain meditation and journaling effects) to mechanistically plausible (affirmations, visualization); the bundled routine itself has not been tested as a unit, and the early-rising element is more preference than requirement.
  2. Silence (meditation or stillness)
    Start the day with a few minutes of quiet — meditation, breathing, or prayer.

  3. Exercise
    Move your body for a few minutes to raise energy and lift mood for the day.

  4. Priming (the 10-minute morning routine)
    Three short blocks — gratitude, connection, and outcome rehearsal — to set your default state before the day sets it for you.

  5. Asking the Miracle Question
    Suppose a miracle happened overnight and the problem was gone — what would be the first small sign you notice when you wake up?

  6. Protect the first hour of the day as notification-free
    Begin the workday without checking any notifications for at least the first 60 minutes.

  7. Morning Light Anchoring
    Getting bright light into your eyes within the first hour after waking sets your circadian clock, triggers a cortisol pulse that sharpens alertness, and times the melatonin onset that helps you fall asleep that night. The underlying biology is well established; specific timing prescriptions are reasonable extrapolations from lab circadian science.
  8. Bridging the Miracle to Existing Exceptions
    Find moments when parts of the miracle are already happening — these reveal the solution is already partially in place.

  9. Wake early and own the first hour
    Rising before your obligations begin gives you an uncontested block to act on your own terms.

  10. Reading
    Read a few pages of something that develops you each morning.
