I have not consistently tried meditation in the morning. But, I did try it for about a week. Every single time I ended up feeling more tired and wanting to just sleep on the floor (one time I did doze off).
Maybe it's a combination of being a mom running a business and working a part-time job, but when I get up I need to do something and sitting on the floor breathing is not one of the things that my body needs to do.
Working out works for me. I like to work out right when I wake up, but often times, I end up working out around nine or 10 o'clock a.m.. The YMCA is close to my house. It's a break between my morning work and my mid-morning work. That's also when a lot of my Ymca classes start.
My husband is down right amazing. He lets me have time for my business and knows that I do so while taking care of our family. My clients are getting busier and work is getting more involved. My fear is leaving my husband in the dust. I suggested that he and I do some more date nights even at home to just reconnect.
I started doing a research job with my friend and my sister and through the year. It's been great because my kids are in school. But, summer is near and the kids are getting out of school. So, I have to schedule the research days as one day and my sister and I are taking the kids every week to a playtime or somewhere to make sure we schedule their time as well.
The original The Miracle Morning was written by Hal Elrod and sparked a genuine movement of people who discovered they could truly transform their life by investing in themselves, consistently, the first thing in the morning.
Steve Scott, the most successful non-fiction writer of today, has now partnered with Elrod to take the core concepts and apply them specifically to writers who want to increase their consistency, and those who want to finally find the time to write their first book.
The Five-Minute Snooze-Proof Wake-Up Strategy
The first step in a Miracle Morning routine is of course to actually get out of bed early without repeatedly hitting the snooze button on your alarm. Elrod and Scott offer this five-step, five-minute-or-less solution:
Six Morning Rituals To Transform Your Life
Thousands of people now swear by the power of a set of rituals that Elrod calls the Live S.A.V.E.R.S. These are daily habits to help you to become more, so you can achieve more. The acronym stands for:
I believe that one of the greatest gifts each of us can give, to those we love and those we lead, is to fulfill our potential, because in doing so we can help others to do the same. Thus, my purpose has long been centered around striving to evolve toward my highest potential, in service of humanity.
On December 3rd, 1999, I received my first standing ovation after giving a motivational speech to my colleagues. I truly felt on top of the world that night, and yet that was also the night my world would nearly end.
In an instant, I broke 11 bones, suffered permanent brain damage, and began losing blood. One hour later, I was finally removed from the wreckage and was found dead at the scene. I stopped breathing, and my heart stopped beating for 6 long minutes.
Desperation turned into inspiration, and a series of events led me to the idea that I needed to develop and commit to a daily personal development ritual, so that I could start becoming the person I needed to be, in order to turn my life around. I woke up the next morning and started my day with six of the most timeless personal growth practices (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing), and within two months, I had more than doubled my income, began training for a 52-mile ultra-marathon and decided to start writing a book to share my experience with others.
Now, The Miracle Morning has been translated into 37 languages, sold over 2.5 million copies, and has transformed the lives of millions of people around the world. Most importantly, readers and practitioners of The Miracle Morning have co-created a global Miracle Morning Community, made up of millions of people who are committed to waking up each day and elevating the consciousness of humanity one person at a time.
At age 37, I nearly died again when my heart, lungs, and kidneys were on the verge of failing. After 7 visits to the ER to have my lung drained, and opinions from three different hospitals, I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Doctors told me that I had a 20-30% chance of surviving. As a father with a 7-year old daughter and a 4-year old son, that was just about the worst news I could have received.
However, what was true for me is true for all of us; I had the ability to choose how I would respond. My chosen response, which I told my wife on the day that I was diagnosed, was that I would choose to be the happiest and most grateful I had ever been, while I endured what would become the most difficult time in my life. Oh, and in my mind, there was a 100% chance that I would be in the 30% of those that survive this cancer.
You are that one person. I am that one person. We are all that one person. And together, as each of us commits to elevating our own consciousness, by becoming more aware and intentional in everything we do, the consciousness of humanity is inevitably elevated.
Thank you for caring enough to make a positive impact for yourself and others, and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

At the beginning of this year I started waking up at 5am and doing a workout program first thing in the morning. When I started that, I thought it would be a good idea to read The 5am Club to motivate myself to get up early. After reading The 5am Club I decided to read The Miracle Morning to continue learning more about the benefits of waking up early and spending focused time in the morning on specific activities for increased productivity, happiness and success.
Miracle morning routine has been part of my life for over a year now and it made a huge impact on my productivity throughout the day. If you have not heard about the miracle morning or are wondering how you can make incorporate it into your life as a working mom, I will walk you through all the steps. Miracle morning is a daily routine to help you accomplish your goals and stay focused, intentional, and productive all day.
Miracle Morning is a concept that I have learned from Hal Elrod in his book The Miracle Morning. The basic concept is that you wake up an hour early than you have to and dedicate that time to yourself and your personal growth.
Now that you know what the miracle morning is, I want to share with you an example of how one might look like for a working mom. I will take you through my morning routine but I want you to keep something in mind. While my morning routine incorporates all those steps, the order in which I do them is different, and so is the time dedicate to each activity. I basically took the miracle morning routine and made it my own to make sure that it fits my lifestyle.
I originally was waking up at 4 am, when I started my morning routine almost two years ago. But because I start my work an hour earlier now, which is why I pushed my wake up time to 3:30am. This is probably a bit extreme to many of you, but you definitely do not have to wake up that early to make miracle morning part of your daily routine.
Right way, you can see that this is much longer that the recommended 10 minutes for each component. However, morning time is the only time I can do my workout at, so it make sense to incorporate it into my miracle morning routine.
What I first stated the miracle morning routine, I did a few minutes of meditation. However, after a while, I changed to to prayer. It as a few minutes each morning to have some quiet time with God. It will allow you to start a day with a positive mindset.
As I am writing my goals, I visualize exactly what steps I need to take to help me accomplish them as well as how it will make me feel to have reach those goals. It is a very powerful exercise as it help see the end result and also sets my mindset for the day with those goals in mind.
