There are 6 steps to the Miracle Morning:

Silence

Affirmation

Visualization

Exercise

Reading

Scribing

These six areas are critical to focus on each morning to change your life to reach the level 10 life you deserve. These areas focus on developing yourself into the person you want to be. They need to be a daily discipline to become the person you want to be.

Silence (meditation) can be a game changer. This time is purposeful and focused. Try it out for a couple of months to see the difference quieting your mind can create. Start out with 5 minutes, focusing on your breath, count to 4 as you inhale and exhale. Then after a month or two do it for 10 minutes. Having quiet time can help relieve stress and anxiety to push towards your level 10 life. This time also helps you learn more about yourself and slowdown in the fast-pace, busy life. Affirmation and visualizations can easily be added into your time of meditation. There is no right way to sit in silence.

Affirmation is repetition of positive thoughts. It builds more confidence and keeps you focused on what you want in your life. Your thoughts become your reality. Repeating your affirmation programs your subconscious mind to overcome fears and bad habits. To create your affirmation here are five simple steps: 1) Determine what you want or what you need to improve in your life. 2) Why do you want it? This should align with your purpose. 3) Get clear on who you need to be. 4) What are you committed to doing to obtain it? Be specific. 5) Add inspirational quotes.

Visualization is the mental process of imagining exactly what you want to achieve or attain. When you mentally rehearse the execution of the process you are more likely to achieve your goal. Visualize all the positive steps it takes to achieve those goals. Sit up tall and clear your mind and picture who you need to be and the positive steps you will take to get there. Another get task you can do is to create a vision board. Find pictures of what you want and your dreams and post them on a board that you will see everyday. This will be a physical reminded of your vision and goals!

Exercise is another critical step that your body truly needs. It boost your energy and metabolism. When you start to get your blood flowing early you will think more clearly the rest of the day. This, like the other steps, becomes a discipline that needs to be formed and will become easier to do overtime. Isn’t it amazing how much better you feel if you just do it. Plan out your time and start with a small, realistic daily goal.

Reading was added as another step in the Miracle Morning routine. Reading is one of the best way to learn and develop yourself. To reach your level 10 vision you should be reading something that will teach you a new positive skill or read about the people who have achieved the things you want. Learning from others mistakes is the best way to avoid pain and regret. Reading only positive self-development books, fictional books are entertaining but not beneficial to reach your goals and shape you to who you want to be.

Scribing is the final step of the Miracle Morning. Each day write down three things you are thankful for in your gratitude journal. This places the focus on all the positive things we are blessed with in our life. It keeps us from falling into the trap of focusing on what we don't have.

The morning sets the mood of the rest of your day and creates the passion to achieve your dreams. Our team is working through these steps and recognizing where we are and how far away we are from our level 10 life. Step 2 of the challenge is the “Wheel of Life” Assessment. This visually demonstrates the current level of success and satisfaction in 10 different areas: Physical Environment - Family & Friends - Personal Growth & Development - Spirituality - Finances - Career & Business - Significant Other & Romance - Fun & Recreation - Contribution & Giving - Health & Fitness. With these 10 areas we then decided on a scale of 1 to 10 where do we feel right now. We found that there is always room for improvement, yet also recognized that we should not beat ourselves up if we are not where we want to be. Going through each area individually was good for us to reflect on and focus on individual goals for those areas to increase our potential. Where are you at on the scale?
