Start by going BANG with the alarm
Ready set go, When you wake up think, No procrastination no hesitation – Think 1, 2, 3 go as the alarm rings, jump out from the starting which is your bed.
First Things First Read your goals for the day
- Wipe the sleep from eyes as you review the Day’s prize, that should be at least 3 tasks to get you closer to the finish line.
Do some thing to wake your self up
So you’re out off bed, No pause, no Hesitation we move fast no time for procrastination, so that’s fifty on the clip, integrate push ups with visualisation, 20 min to an hour meditation will benefit every other hour of the day Its 4:35 it’s early we can fit in a meditation, that’s one hour of Zen that sets the tone for the walking meditation. Mantras and Visualisation help to raise the tone of the mental emotional vibration. 5:30 eyes open as we end the candle meditation.
Arouse the will power with Breathing exercises
- Melatonin is telling you to go back to sleep, quick breathing helps to stimulate serotonin to wake you up.
Meditation sets the mood, movement gives you the juice, to get the heart in gear.
We’ve got one hour before the kids wake up from their nights slumber, so on with the sneakers and off with the night rob. Off to the park we run, Some of us juggle and run, the correct term is joggling, try it, its brain Stimulating fun, it relaxes mind and aids concentration. Joggling makes a grey run (boring), colourful and fun.
Don’t let your mouth off the hook give it a workout
Your favourite affirmation will do you well as you run, Remember What Napolean Hill said, about Auto suggestion (affirmation), desire mixed with emotion will get you quicker to you destination, so I can guarantee a run will be the prefect Catalyst to inject and burn your affirmation into your subconscious, let the power of you discipline stimulate your emotion. If your a public speaker this is a perfect time to practice your diction, this practice will help you refine the art and technique of verbal communication, expanding lung capacity and vocal control, adding a little resonance and clarity to your voice. I can guarantee that your confidence will rise in direct Collation to this exercise.
Cross training: monkey around explore movement
To the park, we arrive there’s no kids around so off to kiddies climbing frame we head. The monkey bars and climbing frame make a perfect training aid to develop your upper body. If you live in London you can benefit from one of the numerous outdoor gyms, I think this can be perfect to get you out door fit. Whether training in the kids play area or the out door gym, I call it a perfect companion to the morning hour of power. (Relax, move slow, soak in the positive feeling) moving meditation helps us to connect to the heart. Personally speaking my early rising hour of power, is built up of qi gong moving meditation, to relax and promote energy cultivation, it feels good being apart of this early morning movement, skyward we face feeling gratitude, giving thanks to our source of inspiration. For me the only thing missing is the beat of the drum.We tune into the beat of our heart within us.
Join the millions in your time zone who rise with the sun, It all about the hour of power
Across the world people are entering in to the zone, no thoughts just now, movement outside, still within, the minds relaxed the muscles have been primed for peak performance. As the sun rises there’s an explosion of energy, be apart of the explosion, as the earth heats up call it kundali call it chi, call it the high, call it adrenarline.
Whatever you call it energy explodes into a states of activity, some people feel like running they can do ten extra miles, some hit the weights bench and give it ten more reps, others are in the swimming pool feeling the same surged of energy, they give it five more laps using the butterfly technique on lookers inspire by this display of peak performance energy, me, in the park feeling the same energy, their are so many others like us exploding with energy, material art, fluids yoga, fun running from a high, meditation, breathing soaking in that energy, some are running on the beach, others are shadow boxing up against a tree, for me its 6:30 I wipe the sweet from my brow, reach into my backpack invest half an hour or so in reading words of wisdom and some word of inspiration as I read walking I exercise my awareness and Peripheral vision, home I go after an successful hour of power thank you Antony robins for the inspiration.

How to start your day is one of the question which I’m looking for an answers. Good thing I had read this post. I find this a bit funny because I realized that some of these are my morning routines.

My morning routine usually goes a little something like this. I wake up, and pray for a few minutes. This is the time when I’ll go over the day in my head as well – and visualize how I’m going to accomplish everything. I do my best to feel close to my God, so that’s why it’s important to me to pray. I can’t do it alone! Then I’ll exercise, take a shower, eat – and then study scriptures. It’s a great way to meditate, clear my head, and concentrate. After this routine – is when I’ll go about my day.
Being a faithful/spiritual type person, it’s always worked well for me. Thank you for putting together this post and getting me thinking in a more broad sense!

Wow Christian that’s Awesome, I think I should write a part 2 – I really respect you adding god into the equation, For me I think its impotent to humble myself before god, I need to make it a more regular/ routine. I meditate daily, But I shall be doing it with god in mind along with prayer now, Think you so much for being it my attention
Wonderful Lloyd. I love that jumping out of bed. My hubby calls me the energizing bunny, because when I wake up I just get up. If we hesitate we don’t want to get up. Why put yourself through this is my thought. Get up and get going, just like you say.
I have to admit that I do need my coffee before going any further. You are right if you start your day off sluggish that is how it will go all day. Have to get that motivation going right from the beginning.
Thanks again for a great article and inspiration. Have a beautiful day.
Hey Debbie – “The energizing bunny” – That’s So funny
That’s the attitude needed first thing in the morning, a get up and go attitude. I think that mind set is king or queen in your case, I love a cup of tea too, that also helps me get out of Bed, Now I’ve got a new first thought “Energizing bunny”
You Have a beautiful day to Debbie Thanks.
Hey Lloyd,
This article is one of those that I consider timeless. It will be powerful for years. Nothing within it can be dated.
There’s a serious lesson within these words. While most, I assume, will not have the “hustle” or interest to act on each point of advice, I think that the overall theme provides us with a great methodology that everyone should follow:
Understand that having a plan in place to start the day off right is a great first step to having a great day. Physical and mental activity should be a factor because it’s a great source of discipline juice (if you will).
I start off everyday with stretching, followed by a work out. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I do this because it’s difficult (never gets easy) but I push my self to do it; strengthening my mental toughness, discipline and of course keeping fit.
Great article Lloyd! You have a serious routine and I commend you for living it.

Hey J Thanks – I Thought I’ll experiment with a different writing style, I wanted the theme of the post to reflect what I do, plus include the great many of people who condition their mind, body and spirit for peak performance, people like me and you.
In saying that I commend your routine – I really Do believe that with exercise, It is possible to condition the mind for greater emotional toughness and and mental discipline – like you said its no easy and when you do things that are not easy, everything else becomes easier. Thanks again J
