"My" Miracle Morning
5am- Wake up, and I do this every single day with a spring in my step. TOP TIP is to NEVER hit snooze! By going back to sleep for another 10 minutes, you will actually feel more tired and groggy than when the initial alarm went off.
5:05am- Silence
I will mediate (Insight timer is a great FREE mediation app) on my Shakti Mat for 20 mins, I normally pick a theme of what ever may be on my mind. eg. morning, patience, awareness, gratitude- literally anything
5:25am- Affirmation
Each day I will draw a Little Sage Oracle card from my deck, and repeat the affirmation that goes with it. If you don’t have Oracle cards you could just recite an affirmation about something your focusing on or wanting to achieve. Affirmations can be used to re-program your thought patterns and change the way you think and feel about things. If your worried about money a good example would be. “ I have an abundance of money, now and always, money will always come and go into my life at the right time, money is always going to be in my life”.
Louise Hay has an AMAZING book on all things affirmations.
5:30am- Visualize
This is when I will re visit the goals I set out last year and wrote in my 2020 diary and also view my vision board. ( The images on this are based around my goals. eg Goal is to always choose the healthier food option - Image is a big basket of fresh fruit & vegetables. Goal is to make my Chiropractic adjustments every week- Image was my Chiropractors Logo. So you would pic an image that resonates with you towards the goal. I cover it all from health , fitness, family, travel, personal growth, career finance & being fearless.
5:35am- Exercise
My fav part, ONLINE Yoga! I subscribed to the Merrymaker Sisters online yoga studio mid last year and I have never looked back! Now that I have a consistent working week, it’s my all time favourite part of the day. The energy the girls bring is unreal, and not only do they have MULTIPLE classes of both Yoga & Pilates they have meal plans, mediations, workshops and challenges that are all just AMAZING!! They are currently offering a FREE subscription as a gift (no credit card required) to you all during crazy time (March 2020 COVID 19). It’s a MUST if you have been wanting to try them out for a while.

6:00am- Read
ANYTHING!! That book you purchased last year, the one that’s been on your bed side table for 6 months, that book that you have been WANTING to read. Just start. I only read a couple of pages a day, but for someone that never really started reading books until the miracle morning I can now say I have read more than quite a few!
6:10am-Scribe
I’m not big on free scribing, I find getting all of my thoughts onto paper pretty hard actually, I’m much more of a verbal communicator (hence why I should practice scribing ALOT more) but what I do have and love is my Gratitude Journal. I picked this one up from Kmart for just $5 and I find it prompts me with all the right questions. It can be the smallest things each and every day to be grateful for. eg. your morning coffee made by the barista, having family to lean on in a time of need, that random text message pop up from an old friend, or even just that opportunity to hang out with the girls. Not every is as fortunate as each other, so we have to be grateful for all that we have in our lives.
So I hope this have has helped, and hopefully given you an insight on how you can start your day to be as productive as you want to be. Taking the time out for yourself, before anyone else’s day has started is honestly the best feeling in the world! TRUST ME!
