  • I love picturing the win
  • The change I want feels like something I’d have to build from nothing, and that’s why it feels impossible

  • It’s been long enough that I can quietly admit something in me has shifted since they died
  • Since I nearly lost it all, the small ordinary things I used to walk right past

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. Visualization
    Mentally rehearse your day and goals — the process, not just the outcome.
