The Essential Start: Why Your Morning Sets the Day’s Tone
Glenn shared a powerful story. He faced hard days in San Diego. Those days tested him deeply. But he found a light in morning routines. He dove into books and talks about success. He saw a pattern. Every successful person had a strong start to their day.
This discovery led him to create his own morning routine. It’s simple but life-changing. Here’s how it goes:
- No Snooze Allowed: Start your day as soon as the alarm rings. No delays. This step teaches discipline and respect for time.
- Phone-Free Zone: Resist the urge to check your phone first thing. Your morning should be yours, not your inbox’s or social media’s.
- Gratitude Is Key: Spend a moment to think about what you’re thankful for. It could be anything—big or small. This step fills you with positive energy.
- Move Your Body: Exercise, stretch, or just walk. Get your blood flowing. It wakes up your body and mind.
- Spread Kindness: Send a positive message or thought to someone. It’s about sharing the good vibes you’ve cultivated.
Glenn’s approach turns morning routines into a foundation for success. It’s not just about doing tasks. It’s about setting your mindset right for the day ahead. Mornings matter because they’re your first chance to choose the direction of your day. Glenn’s five-step plan is a guide to start with intention, positivity, and energy.
Glenn stressed the importance of not grabbing our phones first thing. It’s a small change that can make us rethink our phone habits and encourage us to start the day focused on ourselves, not our screens.
Gratitude Before Goals
Glenn believes in the power of gratitude. While goal-setting is crucial, starting with a thankful heart makes chasing those goals feel more positive and achievable.
