The Miracle Morning
Transform your life before 8AM through daily rituals.
The Miracle Morning – Hal Elrod
Cheat Your Way to a Better Life
Hal Elrod died. Literally. He was hit by a drunk driver, died for 6 minutes, and woke up facing the reality that he might never walk again.
He not only walked; he ran an ultra-marathon.
The Miracle Morning is the routine he used to rebuild his life from zero. It is based on the idea that personal development isn't something you do "when you have time." It is something you do first, so you have the capacity to handle your time.
The Core Concepts
Elrod synthesized the best practices of successful people into an acronym: S.A.V.E.R.S.
The S.A.V.E.R.S.
- Silence: Meditation or prayer. Start calmly, not frantically.
- Affirmations: Program your subconscious. Tell yourself who you are becoming.
- Visualization: See the day going perfectly. Athletes do this; you should too.
- Exercise: Wake up the body. Even 60 seconds of jumping jacks counts.
- Reading: Download knowledge. 10 pages a day is 18 books a year.
- Scribing: Journaling. Get the thoughts out of your head.
The 6-Minute Version
Busy? Elrod accounts for that. He outlines a protocol where you do each of the above for one minute. It is a potent shot of espresso for your soul.
