Setup Your Routines and Habits
build your routines into habits to give you the life you deserve
Let’s start with the basics to get your head and body right for the life you deserve and to stay physically and mentally healthy through a crisis – any crisis
That’s it, your routines will become habits a lot sooner than you think
You can either get into crappy habits and be like the majority of people who never get past the ‘I wish’ stage or you can set yourself up to succeed from the moment you get up to the moment your head hits the pillow
First thing out of bed - this is your peak time, when you’re at your mental best and ready to go - so don’t waste it

Another word for that is reflect
Take time to be in silent reflection
If you don’t know how - then learn - YouTube will have you meditating better than a Tibetan Monk before you can see the first ad - there are that many FREE meditations there
Research the benefits of meditation - Google it - even five minutes a day makes a huge difference over time

Seriously, keep a journal and spend a few minutes and fill one page, or ten lines or start with one thing you can be grateful for and see how it changes your life
Nothing to be grateful about?
Try this
You’re here, you’ve got a computer, you’ve got unlimited learning potential, you’re not born 200 years ago when the average life expectancy was 45 years, you have food on the table, you have total freedom to do and learn what you want…
I think you get the picture

Sure we spend time at our desks so set an alarm to get up, walk around and simply move, make this a habit
Our bodies love movement and you’ll be amazed at the difference between an afternoon coffee vs a walk around the block

Let me illustrate with an example
Say you’ve bought into a racehorse syndicate with a few others and you’ve got yourself a share in a $500,000 colt
Would you let your new half million dollar investment scoff down a bacon roll and coffee for breakfast?
Would you let him grab a slice of pizza for lunch and a bag of chips for his afternoon snack?
Hell to the no!
So why are you doing this to yourself?
Start eating plenty of unprocessed foods and watch your energy (and concentration) levels go through the roof - and yes, YouTube will show you how - and what’s more - you’ll SAVE money by eating real foods and not packed crap

It’s way underrated as a success factor
Start turning off the phone two hours before bed - ignore the pings
Instead read a real book, watch a movie, learn to talk to the family or significant other - just slow down and chill and get ready to go to sleep
Don’t believe me?
Google the importance of sleep and you’ll find people who sleep 8 hours a night are skinnier, smarter, more chilled and more likely to be successful - whatever your definition of success is, good sleep will have something to do with it
Start with these few changes to your routine - they'll soon become a habit - and feel your energy change each day
