3 Morning Habits of High Performers
Serious about achieving success in life? It’s time to learn from successful people.
Every morning, Steve Jobs looked at himself in the mirror and asked just one question, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I’m about to do today?”
If you’re serious about achieving success in life then you need to learn from successful people and never quit until you reach your goals. If you get to know the story behind any successful, high-performing individual, you’ll discover that they all have a powerful morning routine.
Success can take years of clever decision-making and discipline but are 3-morning habits to kickstart your successful lifestyle.
#1 Meditation
Following a meditation or simply sitting in silence for 10–15 minutes every day will lower your stress, help you generate new ideas, and clear your mind for the rest of the day.
As part of his routine, the motivational speaker Tony Robbins meditates every morning for 10 minutes. This is designed to boost his energy and productivity levels for the day and also improve his emotional health and stability. In addition, there are many athletes who use meditation to help improve their focus — it’ll help you from getting overwhelmed.
#2. Set your intentions
After a rough night’s sleep, it’s too easy to wake up with no direction. Setting your daily intentions will help you be focused and committed to doing what you set out for that day. Try taking 10 minutes each morning to write down your to-do’s for the day. Having a plan for your day will make your day more manageable.
#3. Morning Exercise
Exercising in the morning has shown to be effective at giving you the energy boost needed for a productive day as well as many other proven benefits. Stress-relieving, energy-boosting, and increasing your mental clarity are all benefits of exercising. Billionaire Richard Branson wakes up at 5:00 am every day to exercise. He found that this has significantly boosted his productivity over the years.
BONUS TIP
You Must Prioritize Sleep!
The importance of sleep is often overlooked. We don’t prioritize this enough in life — we should. One of the richest people in the world, CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos said that “Eight hours of sleep makes a big difference for me, and I try hard to make that a priority”. This is enough to keep him feeling energized and excited. Getting enough sleep can increase your efficiency, creativity, and problem-solving ability; allowing you to become one step closer to smashing your goals.
If you want to be successful in your life, you need to decide what you really want. Success will come to you when you are fully committed to what you want from life. You should always dream big, take action and think positively. Never give up on your dreams.
Give a few of these methods a try for a couple of months — you’ll notice a difference in no time.
