Journal:
In one sense, nothing magical happens at 4am.
It’s dark, the house is eerily quiet, and it sucks being out of bed.
Yet, due to Mel Robbins, I am doing some of my greatest work at 4am.
Her book, “The Five Second Rule,” has changed my life. I have spent years gathering knowledge about what I should be doing. I could write a book about all the things I know I should do but aren’t doing. The Five Second Rule is the first book about how I get started.
I’ve been spending all this time thinking that there would be a point where I would want to do uncomfortable things. Or minimally, there would be a point where I would convince myself to do unfordable things.
That is not going to happen.
What I can do, is count down from five, block my brain from stopping me, then actually do the uncomfortable task no matter what I think about it.
So now, it’s 4am and I am doing some uncomfortable stuff. I haven’t looked at my cell phone yet (because it is a productivity sinkhole and once I look at it, I instantly put other people’s priorities before mine).
Instead I do the following (my “miracle morning”):
- I meditate.
- I state my affirmations.
- I visualize my goals.
- I read stuff.
- I journal.
- I go to the gym.
- I identify my goals for the day and the next action step I need to take.
I am going to crush it today. I hope you are crushing it as well.
