"Good habits once turn to good behaviour" said Mahatma Gandhi. Indeed, if we give our mornings a good start with some good habits, the rest of the day cultivates goodness. But how many people are there who get up early in the morning and practice some good habits? Quite a few. And the rest? What the rest do is they wake up by snoozing the alarm for quite some times, then suddenly jump out of bed, go to washroom, grip a piece of doughnut or a fruit and go out for work while munching on them, still yawning and rubbing the eyes.
But before I start the article I would like to introduce you all with such a person who have returned from the lap of death by means of will power. He is Hal Elrod. His chances of surviving the death was very little as his 11 bones got broken, heart beat stopped for 6 minutes sending him to coma owing to a disastrous car accident. But in spite of all these he got well soon and wrote a famous book 'The Miracle Morning' in which he tells about 6 habits to be followed in the morning to relish the taste of success in life. Today Elrod is a motivational speaker, best-seller author and ultra-marathon runner. I am giving the link of the book below from which you can buy it and know all those 6 habits in details.
Buy : The Miracle Morning
The six habits are LIFE S.A.V.E.R.S
S = Silence
A = Affirmations
V = Visualization
E = Exercise
R = Reading
S = Scribing
1. Silence :
Hal Elrod considers 'silence' to the very first habit of the miracle morning. Silence helps us to remain quiet and peaceful. Before you jump on to any activity of the day practice silence in the early morning. You can do some meditation or can do deep breathing. This will help you remain abstain from the negative thoughts, making your mind cheerful and peaceful. Besides, meditation increases our concentration and boosts up our power of thinking. Daily 5 minutes is enough in the morning to practice this habit. But remember you don't have to do it while lying in bed. Otherwise slumber may again break on you. Find a quiet, serene place to pursue this habit.
2. Affirmations :
The second habit is affirmations. Affirmations indicates positive thoughts. "Your self talk has an influence on your mood". Yes, it is right. What you think or talk definitely casts an influence on your mind. For example, if you think "I am a loser because I fail in everything I undertake" then it will create a negative effect on your mind. Whereas if you think "No, I won't give up. I'll keep trying until success" then it will surely create a positive effect on your mind. So before you go for achieving your dream, make some positive talks to yourself. This will increase your inspiration level to quite a large extent. For example, if you want to
lose your body weight you have to be committed first to going to gym daily and running for 20-25 minutes. Thinking positive will also boost up your confidence and eventually helps you pay off in any work you do.
3. Visualization :
Visualization is the act of imagining something. For example, if you desire for a certain car you have to first visualize the experience of driving it. That is you have to imagine yourself in the driver's seat, steering in the hands and the power of paddles under your feet, and of course that delicious smell of the new car. But, why to imagine all these? Imagining all these helps you become a good driver in future. But that is not be all and end all. This only ekes out your confidence as a driver.
Visualising your dream or goal increases your spirit as well as your emotional level. The most successful personalities practiced visualization as an essential component to their success. So next time before undertaking any action, visualize them first. This is what Hal Elrod tells his readers to cultivate the good habits and make each morning a miracle one.
4. Exercise :
Exercise is an essential part of our life. Be it Mukesh Ambani, Amitabh Bachchan, Barak Obama, Narendra Modi, Sharuk Khan or any other successful person, film star, businessman or officer everyone in each morning spend some time on exercising. Some do yoga, some practice weight lifting, some go to gym while some do stretching. But each successful person engage themselves in some forms of exercise daily.
Exercising not only helps to steer clear of diseases but also increases the level of our thinking power, understanding and concentration by about 10-15%. The impact of exercising lasts for about 5-10 hours at best that is enough to cover your whole day. Therefore Hal Elrod suggests us to invest some time in exercising in the morning rather than in the evening. This habit will surely make us more active, focused and above all successful in life.
Reading is one of the best habits that the author suggests to introduce your life to thousands of other lives and thus learning more from them. It is said "A READER LIVES A THOUSAND LIVES BEFORE HE DIES. THE MAN WHO NEVER READS LIVES ONLY ONCE". That means a reader who reads about thousands of people's lives, lives a thousand lives in a single life. Whereas, a person who never reads and who always keeps the door of knowledge shut, lives only once in one life.
So, in every morning start charging your brain with some knowledge and wisdom. Your brain is fully prepared to take any input and utilize it throughout the day. This will help you to remain within the flow of motivation across the day. After all, "A READER BECOMES A LEADER". That means if to be a leader, first must be a reader.
6. Scribing :
Scribing is the act of writing. That is we have to jot down the new ideas, thoughts, motivation or any other creativity that come in our minds daily. If we do not write them, they will disappear from our minds. Every morning gives us a new chance to create new ideas or thoughts as per situations. If we start cultivating the habit of writing those new thoughts daily, we will be the possessor of more knowledge and more wisdom, and can apply them to reach our goals. The more we write the more thoughts will throng around.
These are the 6 miracle morning habits told by Hal Elrod to be followed in the morning within 8 a.m. It is the best time for, in the morning, our brains stay refreshed from any stress or worries that keeps hovering about our minds across the day. Practicing these six habits will help evade the stress and negative thoughts, and face the challenges that life throws before us.
Conclusions :
"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" -- this proverb is almost known to all. That means a person who goes to sleep at night early and wakes up early in the morning is the possessor of a sound health, wealth and wisdom. And a person with all this things is not a loser. A loser is that guy who commits to get up early but indolently keeps the alarm snoozing. What does it mean? It means you are afraid of the challenges of the day, you don't want to face them, that's you are a big loser! And who wants to start his/her day by becoming a loser? If you become a loser right at the very dawn of the day, then how would you talk about success? I again repeat "Good habits once turn to good behaviour" and your behaviour will surely change your life.
I hope this article comes helpful to you all. Good luck.
