Reality is not always what you expect. Your expectations, beliefs, and thoughts about reality shape it. These beliefs and expectations make up a large part of your daily habits.
While some habits can be unconsciously formed and can be harmful or limitative, others can be consciously formed and will help you transform your life and empower yourself.
This is an important point of departure, which more people are realizing. High-achieving people have one thing in common: they recognize the power they have to co-create their reality by changing how they think, believe and expect it to be.
Pracing and maintaining daily rituals is one of the best ways to change our beliefs. Long, long ago, ancient traditions understood the importance of rituals in strengthening habits and changing how we see and create reality.
If you examine the daily life of any successful person, you’ll find a form of ritual. Although some rituals might seem odd or banal, don’t let appearances fool you. The most powerful self-empowering tool available to a practitioner is rituals – you are the one!
These are the most simple, yet powerful morning rituals that you can perform every day. You can also have your own morning or night rituals, but these morning rituals will help you to be more productive in your day.
1. Gratitude
One of the most neglected or undervalued rituals is to be grateful for all the little moments and joy in your life. This morning ritual is a great way to begin your day in a positive manner.
Grit is a powerful tool that helps you focus and choose what is important in your life. It allows you to see the good in others. It can be selectively positive. It can help you feel happy and positive by shining light on the amazing things that make your day.
We often pick out the issues, the pain points and the bottlenecks in our lives that are causing us anxiety, friction and unhappiness. It’s like constantly rewriting your life with a tragic or negative overtone. Your subconscious mind will follow the script you write, regardless of whether it’s a positive or negative one.
It is a powerful and empowering practice to feel grateful. Start your day by being grateful for the positive events throughout the week. It can be small and trivial. It doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t matter if you are grateful for an unexpected visit from a friend, a wonderful encounter with a kind stranger or a new opportunity. You’ll be amazed at what happens throughout the day if you do it every morning.
2. Write Down Your Most Important Tasks
This is a very useful ritual. Begin your day by writing down one to three important tasks that you must complete in the day. These are tasks that support your long-term goals and are in line with your purpose, passion, or overall direction.
If writing a book and building an online community are long-term goals that are important to you, then completing a page or two of the book is an important task. Or coming up with new content ideas for your online community.
It is crucial that you identify the tasks and complete them early in your day. You will be assigned other tasks, but these tasks can be completed later or grouped together and done in one session.
It helps you to organize your day according to the most important things. This helps you to prioritize your tasks and better manage your time. It simplifies your life by focusing your energy and attention on the things that are important for your overall success.
3. Write Or Draw Your Goals
Although similar to the previous idea, this one is different in its purpose and application. It is possible to create a plan of action by writing down the most important tasks for each day. It is also a powerful way to bring your vision and goals into your daily mental space.
By writing down your goals or drawing them on paper, you can externalize them by giving them form. They are then reflected back to you subconscious mind, strengthening them and integrating them even more fully.
This could be “I am having greater success in my job”, or “I’m becoming stronger and healthier through my exercise.” The present tense is used to tell you that you are already in the process. Do you remember the life plan we subconsciously follow. This is basically changing the script so that it can be used now.
If you’re more visual than a person, drawing or doodling can make your goals more tangible. If your goal is to build or move to another country, then you can draw or doodle the house and other symbols.
4. Practice Qi Gong Exercises
According to Chinese philosophy Qi (pronounced “Chee”) means the life force or energy inherent to all things. [1] Qi Gong is a practice to cultivate and circulate this energy in your body. Although it may sound complicated or mystical, Qi Gong is a series of simple exercises that aim to improve your health and vitality.
Online media offers many forms and practices that are free. These simple exercises are recommended by Qi Gong master Lee Holden as a morning routine.
5. Warm Water With Lemon
Add a slice of lemon to a glass hot water, and you can have one every morning. This is a simple routine that I adhere to every morning.
It is a good source for vitamin C and an excellent way to flush out toxins in your morning. also reduces pain and inflammation between the joints and the knees. And it helps nourish brain and nerve cells. These are additional benefits to drinking hot water with lemon.
6. Rise Earlier
It is obvious that there are many benefits to waking up early.
You have more time to exercise, such as cycling, walking or Qi Gong, for example. You have more time to spend with yourself, meditate and, most importantly, to do the other morning rituals.
This is why it’s important to rise early in the morning. Many people, including myself, find it easier to be productive in the morning hours.
Numerous studies also show that waking up an hour earlier than usual can have many benefits. The body can be more in tune with its circadian rhythms by sleeping early and getting up earlier. This promotes restorative sleep. These studies also reveal other interesting results, such as the fact that early risers are more optimistic and are better at anticipating and solving problems than the norm.
7. Listen To Uplifting Music
Music that is upbeat can make a big difference in our moods, especially early mornings. It can lift us up emotionally and help us to have a positive outlook on the day ahead.
Many people listen to music while they commute to work or wake up to it. They tune in to the radio, or pick a random playlist from their phone. It can make a huge difference in your day and your life.
It is funny how music can be chosen according to your mood. If you feel down or dissatisfied about something, music that is reflective of that mood will be more appealing to you. This can reinforce the mood. You can do the opposite, and tune your mood to a different song.
