The #1 morning hack that will set your head straight. With ease.

I was talking to a powerhouse business woman recently. A true go-getter. One of those people who, when they have a business idea they get going and don’t rest until they’ve achieved their goal.

She was telling me how exhausting her mornings are. Despite how much she loves what she does, sometimes she finds challenging to start her day with clarity and direction. Knowing what to do. How to do it. Feeling grounded. 

Without having a gazillion of thoughts coming and going at the speed of light, and getting jammed like on the M25 in rush hours.

Her schedule is intense. And that sense of exhaustion and mental chaos never leave her.

Do you feel that way too?

• Your mornings are exhausting
• Your mind is in total chaos when you start your day’s work
• You’re in need of a break even before starting

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to ditch that sense of exhaustion and mental chaos for good?

Bear with me. I’m about to give you a simple hack that will reset your day. Once and for all!

There was a time in my life I used to feel like that – day in and day out. Until I made some adjustments. Small tweaks. Like having a morning routine.

Don’t do it.

Don’t do that.

Don’t roll your eyes up! 

Did you know that all successful people do have their own morning routine? And they don’t start their day without it? 

Their morning routine is their golden rule.

No meetings.

No newspaper.

No breakfast.

No phone calls.

No emails.

Nothing.

Morning routine first!

Still, so many don’t have a morning routine. They rush into their day as soon as they wake up in the morning. And keep on rushing until they go to sleep at night. 

They put their automatic pilot on and that’s how they go through their day. It’s what I call the zombie trance. Are you one of them?

So, when I asked that powerhouse business woman whether she had a morning routine and how her morning routine looked like … oh boy … the look on her face …

I don’t have time! 

Of course you don’t have time.

I don’t have time either.

Nobody has. 

Time is not something that you can own or possess.

But I can make time.

So can you. 

Now, while you’re playing in your head with this thought, this possibility, of making time, let me tell you about the #1 morning hack that will set your head straight. With ease.

There are so many morning routines around. You can spend hours on those. That’s not what I’m talking about here.

How much time am I talking about then? 

What about the time that it takes for you to have your morning shower? You shower every morning – right? For how long? five, ten minutes? More? So what a better use of your time in the shower than setting yourself up for your day. 

That’s how you maximise your time! 

That’s how you make (more) time.

Here’s how it works:

While having your shower tomorrow morning, close your eyes for few moments and focus on the water that falls down 

• your head
• your shoulders
• your skin
• and washes your thoughts. And all that chaos and chatter in your mind. It wipes it all out.

Notice how recharging, refreshing and strengthening it feels. 

Stay with it. 

Listen to it. Listen to the sound of the water. 

Listen to its rhythm. 

Embrace it. 

You’ll find yourself smiling for no reason. Keep on smiling. 

You’ll feel the muscle of your face releasing all their tension. 

Don’t be surprised if you get completely lost in that rhythm. Indulge yourself. And be in the moment.

This simple easy tweak to your morning shower will help you

1. Recharge your batteries;
2. Stop the chatter in your mind: and
3. Start your day with more grit.

Now go conquer your day.
