The lessons from his story\u2014and the routine he developed\u2014truly can turn your life around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the first “rock bottom” experience occurred, Elrod was a successful 20-year-old salesman for a large marketing company and was climbing the corporate ladder. Suddenly, a devastating car accident changed his life<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As he drove home from a speech and dinner, his car was struck head on by a pickup truck and then struck again by the car behind him. He sustained serious head injuries and eleven broken bones, and his heart stopped beating for six minutes at the scene<\/strong>. Rescuers revived him, but he faced a long rehabilitation and the possibility he wouldn\u2019t walk again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He eventually recovered, returned to his sales job and set performance records. He later began speaking to high school and college students about overcoming adversity, became a life coach, and wrote a book, Taking Life Head On<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n His message was that it\u2019s pointless to wish things were different. The only thing to do when encountering adversity is to focus on having a fulfilling life going forward. He chose to be grateful for what he had and take responsibility for creating the life he wanted<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Elrod concluded that everything happens for a reason and it\u2019s up to us to choose the most empowering reasons for our challenges and circumstances. Ultimately, he viewed his accident as a positive because it changed his life for the better. Elrod’s story provides inspiration that you, too, can turn your life around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After recovering from his accident, Elrod suffered a second rock-bottom experience six years later\u2014this time, financial ruin during the 2008 recession<\/strong>. He pulled himself out of depression by developing a morning routine that motivated him to get out of bed. On a friend\u2019s advice, he started his days with running, while listening on earphones to motivational speakers, in order to feel better and think more clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His depression began to lift and he continued to develop his morning routine, experimenting with his sleep schedule and various personal growth and development methods, such as affirmation and journaling. He came up with a daily sequence of six practices. The routine was so successful in helping him turn his life around that he began calling it his Miracle Morning and sharing it with coaching clients and friends, who also found it transformative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To share it more widely, Elrod wrote The Miracle Morning, <\/em>which became an Amazon best-seller and led to the creation of a website, Facebook community, and a series of additional books. The book is a practical guide that can help you turn your life around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how Hal Elrod used the Miracle Morning to advance in less than a year from his lowest point\u2014a failing business, debt, and depression\u2014to renewed financial success, achieving his dream job, and even completing an ultra-marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although he\u2019d recovered from a debilitating car accident, he found overcoming financial failure, debt, and depression to be more difficult. After his accident, he had family, friends, and medical professionals taking care of him and encouraging him. In contrast, when financial disaster struck, he didn\u2019t have anyone feeling sorry for him\u2014others had their own problems as a result of the recession. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLessons From Rock Bottom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
