It's time to wake up

Awakening and morning routine (or lack thereof) is very strong influence on the success in all spheres of life. It's simple. Focused, productive and successful morning generates the same day. This inevitably leads to a successful life. As well as unproductive and creates a mediocre morning the same day. And the gray life.

Times have changed and the rituals of morning rise, we can significantly improve any aspect of their life. Enough to devote themselves only 60 minutes in the morning, carrying six simple steps-actions. On each have 10 minutes. And not have to do this early in the morning, most importantly, in the first hour after waking. And it works. It will be enough only 30 days to become used to the practice.

Hal offers such morning rituals: meditation, visualization, reading, morning pages, exercises and affirmations. But by and large here it is important to understand the techniques very principle of choice and you can adapt them for yourself.

Just imagine: one hour a day for self-development - is 15 days round the clock over a year. And if you practice it in 10 years? It is already six months of continuous work on himself. Results in coming will not keep.

To wake up tomorrow, you need to go to bed now

For a successful awakening enough to have five alarms, or as soon as possible to jump up and run into the shower. First you need to properly prepare for bed.

Create comfortable conditions for good night. Your bedroom should not be stuffy, otherwise you will not be able to fall asleep for a long time and will be held all night half asleep, he will not sit back and relax your brain. If the room is too cold, you run the risk of not find the strength to just get out of bed in the morning. In this case, can help heater with timer. For half an hour or an hour before waking, he turns and fills the room with warmth.

Prepare in advance what you need in the morning. On the table beside my bed is always a couple of my favorite books on self-development, a notebook and a glass of water.

An hour before bedtime, and do not watch TV, do not operate the computer. It is better to spend this time in a calm atmosphere, reading a book, but not electronic, and most common - paper. Before going to bed, turn off all the lights and electrical appliances, so that nothing distracts you from the main goal - how to sleep. Try to relax the whole body, release the mind from thinking about the future. You have time to think about it, because it will come soon.

first moments

Start your awakening without the hustle and bustle. No need to jump once and disorderly rush to the house, because you have not yet woken up to the end. Better to spend the first few minutes of a new day in this way: drink a glass of water (this will set your body to wake up) and sit in peace and quiet.

Breathe slowly, take a few deep breaths - so you saturate your brain with oxygen. You can devote this time meditation or say to myself, thanks to God, yourself, your loved ones. Do not think yet about plans for the day and do not remember yesterday's problems remain here and now. So you tune through the day consciously, without the hassle and stress.

The best time to train the subconscious

Reading aloud affirmations in the morning - the most effective way to secure them in your subconscious. These verbal formula will be reminded of your main priorities and endless possibilities. Every morning you will focus on the most important, increasing your level of motivation.

Your self-confidence will grow. Very soon you will feel that in the first minutes after waking up full of energy for new cases and achievements. Moreover, you will gain confidence in what can really change their lives and are ready to start doing it right now.

If you are skeptical about this practice, free to replace it with something else that will add you confidence. For example, take a sheet of paper or notepad (Prepare it in advance, before bedtime) and write down everything for which you thank your destiny. Write about the achievements that you are proud of, and objectives sought by the day. This will raise your self-esteem, inspire and give confidence.

mandatory practices

"The man who does not read, does not have the slightest advantage over those who can not read," - Mark Twain wrote. Forever we find excuses why we do not have time to read. But 10 minutes is not difficult to find.

Reading - one of the mandatory morning practices. It is not necessary to be replaced by anything else. This is the fastest way to transform any area of ​​your life.

Think about it: 10 minutes of reading every day = 3 650 pages per year = 18 = 18 books of outstanding people with whom you can talk at any time.

Read a few pages, find and highlight the valuable ideas and implement them on the same day.

Re-read books on personal development. Well, you know, as sometimes happens: you hear something over and over again, but, in fact, do not do this any conclusions, but one day before you finally get it. And you realize: this is it. That's why I always read the book at least twice.

Movement to success
