PLANNING STEPS

Great!  Time to make your first move toward changing your mindset.

Before any concrete ideas can be formed as to the speed of change, you’ll need to know the steps to follow in guiding you to the change you want.  I suggest as you read through these, allow your mind to see how they can fit into your daily life.  You’ll see how you can develop a morning routine for more focused and successful living.

Please remember –   These steps can be changed in the order, duration and frequency.  This process should be your plan to fit your present need and ability.  Our ask – use as many of the steps as possible, however, do not over extend yourself at the beginning of the journey.  Stay within yourself, within your personal initial limit of physical abilities.

When you begin to create your plan, I suggest following these 2 preliminary decisions.

1. Order to suit your preference but always start with Hydrate.
2. Decide on a time allotment that fits your expectation

6 Steps to Plan Your Change

Set a starting time early enough to allow plenty of time to move through your predefined process.

1. Hydrate – Coming out of your sleeping for a number of hours, your body is thirsty and needs water for replenishment.
2. Exercise – Start moving your body through a customized routine.  Don’t get nervous, this can be as long – or as short – whatever is best for your situation.  The important thing is to add some level of movement above your “previous” normal morning process (Crawling to the shower doesn’t count).
3. Reflection – This can be prayer or simply a few quiet minutes to gather yourself and calm your mind.
4. Visualize – Another few short minutes to picture in your mind – your goals, aspirations and dreams.  What do you want to accomplish, what are your goals.  These can be short or long term, but not immediate.  Your mind needs time to make it happen.
5. Silence – This step prepares your mind for work or your creative endeavors
6. Journaling – For some this may not sound appealing.  But the act of writing your thoughts and plans down is quite focusing and helps clear your thinking and is important for planning.

There’s gold in these 6 steps.  You’ll see yourself change in habit, desire and orientation to yourself and others.  Please remember – All time duration is in your control.  Start slow and build as you are able.  The most important point to to continue to program.  Seeing the improvements will provide the motivation to continue.

If you would like more information on these steps, you can get more of a history and guide in Hal Elrod’s book – The Miracle Morning.  In his book, Hal will outline how these steps were developed and how they turned his life around.  Hal will walk you through how to use the steps and how to modify if you have a very short time available.

Additionally, someone at Plexiom will be available throughout the day to answer questions or help set your outline.
