Our Dadly Daily Declaration series continues today with readings from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
Today’s reading continues with the 20/20/20 Formula breakdown of the first hour (Victory Hour) of your morning. Here are a few gems from today’s reading:
- The time between 5:20 and 5:40 AM is when you ‘Reflect.’
- One element of a cleverly granulated morning routine is a period of deep peace. Some quietude and solitude for yourself before the complexity starts arriving, and your family needs your energy, and all your other responsibilities take over. Tranquility is the new luxury of our society. So, during this segment of your Victory Hour, savor some stillness. Contemplate how you’re living and on who you hope to become. Be thoughtful and intentional on the values you want to be loyal to over the hours ahead of you. And how you wish to behave. Consider what needs to happen for this to be a great day amid the construction of a legendary life.
- Reflection is a main source of transformation because once you know better, you definitely can do better.
- Use the reflection pocket to invent, visualize and dream.
- Install a Pre-Performance Blueprint. This is simply a written statement of your ideal day ahead. Researchers confirm that pre-commitment strategies work beautifully to increase your focus and discipline to get things done. You’ll have a clear and calibrated script for your day ahead, so it unfolds the way you want it to.
- Take at least ten minutes to write out your perfect day.”
- Formalize writing in a journal for at least a few of the minutes between 5:20 and 5:40 AM. The key when you do this is just to write. Don’t think too much. Simply download your commitments for the hours ahead, record your precious ambitions and activate your gratitude by listing what’s good in your life right now. Use your journal as a place to process through any frustrations, disappointments and resentments in your heart so you let them go. It’s miraculous how you’ll release toxic emotions and low energy from your system when you write down your suppressed hurts, freeing up maximum creativity, premium vitality and unmatchable performance.
- Living in the past steals so much energy from most people…
Those quotes lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Here are some of the rewards you’ll receive when you invest ten to twenty minutes of your morning routine in writing your Daily Diaries. Don’t write only the positive elements of your current life but also those aspects of your experience that are causing discomfort and pain. Because the quickest way out of hard emotions is to have the wisdom and courage to go straight into them. Feel them to heal them. Name them to let go of them. Put a written voice to the dark energy of life’s burdens to dissolve them. Because once you reclaim the power blocked by layers of toxic emotions and the wounds of the past, your Mindset, Heartset, Healthset and Soulset will all soar exponentially. And when your four interior empires escalate through your effortful self-purification, your supreme self begins to assume command. This then yields the external empires you hope to see more of. Difficult feelings that you don’t find a healthy way to remove become repressed, which creates stress, poor productivity and even disease.
