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
  • There’s a stack of books I keep meaning to get to, and I keep telling myself I’ll read when I "find the time"
  • The change I want feels like something I’d have to build from nothing, and that’s why it feels impossible

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.
