I am fan of routines and the settling effect they have on me, especially when I travel a lot. One of the routines I got into was this priming exercise led by Tony Robbins. I started to do it every day for a week, then every other day, and then finally once a week or month.
Tony begins with some forceful breathing to energize and invigorate you. This is followed by some visualization of everything good in your life — your goals, your happy coincidences, what good you desire for others in your life. I compare it to a more vibrant or active form of meditation.
Also, this reminds me of a couple studies that show when you imagine scenarios, like your own future success, with extra vivid, painstaking detail, down to the color of your socks when you launch your first public company (or whatever goal you may have), it’s more likely to be ingrained and internalized for your subconscious mind to begin acting upon. Plus, it’s fun to dance and celebrate at the end!
What are some of your morning rituals?
