Young Life

Create a “STOP DOING LIST”

 

Time can be spent only once so it must be spent wisely.

 

Saying yes to one thing is saying no to something else!

 

Momentum is either gained or lost throughout the day.

 

“Well-begun is half-done.”

 

➡️ Aristotle  ⬅️

 

Momentum can be gained when we highlight what truly matters.

 

How do you do that?

What is your morning ritual?

 

We can control when we get up.  (Have a kid under 2 - Not so much! - This season will pass! - Hold on!)

 

We can control when we go to bed. (See above)

 

We can control our attitude in between! (NO EXCUSES!)

 

““Your first ritual that you do during the day is the highest leveraged ritual, by far,”

 

➡️ Eben Pagen ⬅️

 

Don’t let what you cannot control keep you from controlling what you can.

 

Quit reaching for your phone.

Quit opening email, social media, or that news/sports app.

 

Read.

Study.

Learn.

Sweat.

 

Pick one.

 

Make one of those your morning ritual.

 

OR

 

Do them all ever before grabbing your phone.

 

I believe you are one thought, one word, and or one action away from making your life and the lives around you better than yesterday.

 

Want to Grow?

 

The key to sustained growth in any area of our lives is routine.

 

“If you want God to do the super, you’ve got to do the natural.”

 

➡️ Mark Batterson ⬅️

 

Questions to think on...

 

When was the last time you did an evaluation of your morning routine?

When was the last time you adjusted your alarm clock to get up early and get after “it”?

When was the last time you added to or subtracted from your morning routine because of a goal you’re going after?

What have you been delaying?
