January is less than 4 weeks away, and you will soon be bombarded with people telling you that you're not optimising your wealth.
It's true. It happens every year!
Some of it is great, and some of it is scary.
You don't have to shave your head, meditate on the top of a mountain, breathe like a free diver, eat raw vegetables, and become a yogi. I have done all of these apart from one.
Yeah, you've read those articles too. But we don't have to do it all once or go full blunt force, health guru.
Instead, look at adding these things into your everyday life. For example, make up your own morning routine.
Here is a list of my favourites. Of course, you can try some of these in one go or of them.
Have a ritual.
The first thing I do is make coffee.
1. I like the process and repetition of the smells and, of course, the caffeine. This signals the start of the day, and having something familiar feels good.
1. Brain dump journal. If I must remember multiple tasks and keep them in my head, it means it's taking up bandwidth in my head. So, write it down, make a voice recording add it to your notes.
2. Sweat, but not until you bleed. Who remembers the C&C music factory. Get a sweat on, the blood pressure pumping, push yourself, release the endorphins,d and enjoy some mental clarity. Who doesn't want to feel elated? Let's? Get HIGH. The benefits of cardio or great for your body, heart, or head. Skipping, cycling, rowing, running.
Practice gratitude. This may be the most straightforward and worthwhile exercise on the list. We are all bombarded with materialistic possessions. Cars, bags, watches, yachts, property, and even health and fitness equipment. It's easy to be swayed by everything you don't have.
1. Instead, recognise all the things you do have. Write down 10 things you are thankful for. If you do this every day for a week, you will acknowledge all the wonderful you have.
Read a book for fun, that's right. Read a book for fun. Put down your business books and just read something for fun. The calmness and relaxation that comes from escaping in a book or unparallel. Turn the phone off.
Pour yourself a cuppa and just read.
1. It's simple, effective, fun and relaxing.
2. DRINK MORE WATER. It's simpler than reading a book. If you're lucky, it comes out of your tap. Scottish water is fantastic. The benefits of water are excellent, too. It improves mental performance, removes waste from your body and can help reduce calorie intake. I could do a whole article on water. Aim for about 2.5-3.5 litres of water.
Studies have shown that having a regular morning routine can boost brainpower, set your mind for success, and make you more productive. Here's how it works:
Establishing this quick yet meaningful morning routine can help you be more productive and thrive daily. So – give yourself that jumpstart to success and take charge of your morning. You won't regret it!
Remember, the most successful and long-lasting changes are applied gradually.
