In his book, The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod talks about the dramatic impact our morning routines have in every area of our lives. According to him, "focused, productive, successful mornings generate focused, productive, successful days, which inevitably create a successful life." In short intervals, from 5 to 30 minutes, we can accomplish many little things that, in total, will have a massive impact on our days and lives. Creating intentional morning routines will make us feel grounded; it will increase happiness, reduce procrastination, boost our confidence, and improve our overall performance. And, the best part, it’s all within our control. 

In this episode, we talk about the power of morning routines and how they affect our day. We share our morning routines, what they generate in us, and why we are dedicated to them. We also discuss the relevance of including gratitude, positive identity statements, meditation, and self-care practices in our morning habits, and the importance of 'hearing' what our mind is doing.

• "How you wake up each day and your morning routine (or lack thereof) dramatically affects your levels of success in every single area of your life. Focused, productive, successful mornings generate focused, productive, successful days—which inevitably create a successful life—in the same way, that unfocused, unproductive, and mediocre mornings generate unfocused, unproductive, and mediocre days, and ultimately a mediocre quality of life. By simply changing the way you wake up in the morning, you can transform any area of your life, faster than you ever thought possible." - Hal Elrod.
