The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

The Miracle Morning On Weekends
“Waking up early on Saturday gives me an edge in finishing my work

---

with a very relaxed state of mind. There is a feeling of time pressure on
weekdays that aren’t there on weekends. If I wake up early in the morning,
before anybody else, I can plan the day or at least my activities with relaxed
mind.” —Oprah Winfrey
I couldn’t agree with Oprah more. When I first created The Miracle
Morning I only did it Monday through Friday, and I took the weekends off. It
didn’t take long for me to realize that every day I did The Miracle Morning I
felt better, more fulfilled and more productive, but every day that I slept in, I
woke feeling lethargic, unfocused, and unproductive.
Experiment for yourself. You may start, as I did, by doing The Miracle
Morning during the week and try taking the weekends off. See how you feel
on those Saturday and Sunday mornings, sleeping in. If you feel, like many
people do, that every day is better when you begin it with The Miracle
Morning, you might just find that weekends are actually your favorite time to
do it.
Keeping Your Miracle Morning Fresh, Fun, and
Exciting!
Over the years, my Miracle Morning continues to evolve. While I still
practice the Life S.A.V.E.R.S. daily and don’t foresee any reason I would ever
stop needing the benefits of those six practices, I do think it’s important to
mix things up and keep variety in your Miracle Morning. Like a relationship,
you always want to keep a little fun and excitement in the mix, so things don’t
get boring or stale.
For example, you might change up your morning exercise routine every
90 days, or even monthly. You could try different meditations, either through
a simple Google search or by downloading various Meditation apps on your
phone. You could create a vision board and update it regularly. As I
mentioned during the section on Affirmations: you should always be updating
your affirmations to stimulate your senses and to be in alignment with your
always-evolving vision for who you can and want to be.
I also adjust my Miracle Morning on the fly, based on my changing
schedule, circumstances, and projects I’m working on. When I’m preparing
for an upcoming speech or seminar that I’ll be presenting, I allocate more
time during my Miracle Morning to practice and rehearse my performance.
When I’m traveling, to give speeches for colleges or corporations, and I’m
staying in hotels, I adjust my Miracle Morning accordingly. For example, if
I’m scheduled to give a late night keynote or workshop at a conference, I will
move my wake up and start time a little later.

Another example of making adjustments based on my current projects
has been during this past few months, as my Miracle Morning has ironically
been heavily focused on completing this book. I’ve still maintained the Life
S.A.V.E.R.S.—I’ve just done a shortened version, so I can focus more of my
time on writing.
As you can see, you can always design and customize The Miracle
Morning to fit your lifestyle.
