How do you set your day up for success? What are some things you can do to get yourself going in the morning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start your day right, it\u2019ll likely continue and end that way. That’s why it’s important to set yourself up for success from the get-go by preparing both your mind and body for the day ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how to set yourself up for success<\/a> so you can seize the day with enthusiasm and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Prepare Your Mind for Success<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In their book Organize Tomorrow Today<\/a><\/em>, Selk, Bartow, and Rudy explain how to set yourself up for success in the morning with a simple 3-step routine. It only takes about two minutes to complete, and it helps to foster a sense of peace and positivity as you move forward in your day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Take a Calming Breath<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start the mental preparation exercise with a calming breath. Inhale and exhale deeply, pausing for a couple of seconds between breathing in and breathing out. According to the authors, this improves your mental state because focused breathing reduces the effects of your body\u2019s stress response<\/a>. Since its stress response hinders your ability to think clearly, a calming breath will help clear your mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: If you\u2019re feeling stressed or anxious, sometimes a single deep breath isn\u2019t enough to calm down. For extra support, try alternate nostril breathing,<\/a> a type of breathwork that\u2019s commonly part of meditation<\/a> or yoga practices. Gently close one nostril by placing your fingers over it, then exhale and inhale once through the open nostril. Once you\u2019ve completed one cycle of breath, release your fingers and cover the other nostril. Exhale and inhale once, this time through the opposite nostril. Keep alternating nostrils through as many cycles of breaths as you need.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Repeat Positive Affirmations <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the authors, the next step is to repeat affirmations<\/a> that define qualities you want to embody.<\/strong> Create your affirmations by focusing on the things you desire. Start with the phrase, \u201cI am\u2026,\u201d then name the positive qualities you want to embody. For example, you could say, \u201cI am kind to the people around me. I am a hard worker and full of creative ideas. I am present for my friends and family.\u201d By repeating the statements frequently, you help turn them into reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Some psychologists also recommend using positive affirmations, arguing that they can orient your unconscious beliefs and attitudes toward improving your life. Here are a couple of strategies you can use to get the most benefit out of them<\/a>. First, as Selk, Bartow, and Rudy recommend, construct affirmations in the present tense. Your subconscious mind<\/a> more easily connects with the present than the future or past. Second, avoid using negative descriptions in your statements. For example, rather than saying, \u201cI\u2019m not an irresponsible person,\u201d say, \u201cI\u2019m a responsible person.\u201d If you use the former statement, your subconscious may latch onto the idea of being irresponsible and miss that you\u2019re invoking the opposite idea.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visualize the Previous Day\u2019s Successes and Tomorrow\u2019s Tasks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During this step of mental preparation, the authors suggest you start by picturing three moments of success from the day before. This will remind you of your ability to succeed and reinforce your positive mindset<\/a>.<\/strong> Then, picture three things you want to get done in the next 24 hours. Picture yourself performing the tasks successfully, and imagine how you want to feel. The more detailed your visualization is, the more helpful it\u2019ll be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to Hal Elrod in The Miracle Morning<\/em><\/a>, you can use a vision board as an extra visualization aid.<\/a> To create one, find images that represent what you want to become, what you want to have, and what you want to do. These could be photos, magazine clippings, internet printouts, or quotes. Arrange the images on a poster board to represent your purpose<\/a> and ideal future. You could adapt this recommendation to fit within Organize Tomorrow Today<\/em>\u2019s mental preparation exercise by also adding your past successes and the things you want to accomplish to your vision board<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visualization prepares your mind and body for an action before you really take it<\/strong>. It allows you to rehearse what you want to happen, meaning by the time you have to do the thing you visualized, you feel more prepared for potential challenges and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Visualization prepares you for an activity because it activates the same parts of your brain that actually doing<\/em> the activity would.<\/a> For example, thinking about your body moving in some way, like raising your hand or taking a step forward, activates your motor cortex, the part of your brain that directs such movements. Imagining a movement primes your body to do it with greater control and coordination. Research also shows that visualization improves motivation, raises confidence, and reduces anxiety<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Repeat the First Two Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To finish your mental preparation exercises, the authors suggest repeating the first two steps in reverse order. First, repeat the positive affirmations you came up with for Step 2. Then, finish by taking another calming breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Repeating your positive affirmations in the last part of this exercise will reinforce their message: The more you repeat affirmations, the more you encourage your brain to accept them as fact. Likewise, repeating your calming breath at the very end will leave you with a sense of clarity and tranquility as you move forward in your day.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
