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

[TMM Bonus] Create Your Vision Board
Vision Boards were made popular by the bestselling book and film The
Secret. A Vision Board is simply a poster board on which you post images of
what you want to have, who you want to become, what you want to do, where
you want to live, etc.
Creating a Vision Board is a fun activity you can do on your own, with a
friend, your significant other, or even your kids. It gives you something
tangible to focus on during your Visualization. If you’d like detailed
instructions on this process, Christine Kane has an excellent blog on How To
Make A Vision Board as well as a free eBook titled The Complete Guide To
Vision Boards. Both are available on her website at

.
Keep in mind that, although creating a Vision Board is fun, nothing
changes in your life without action. I have to agree with Neil Farber, M.D.,
Ph.D., who stated in his article on psychologytoday.com, “Vision boards are
for dreaming, action boards are for achieving.” While looking at your vision
board every day may increase your motivation and help you stay focused on

E is for Exercise
If you don’t make time for exercise, you’ll probably
have to make time for illness.

conclusions, running down their friends, sidestepping
responsibility, and pushing their luck.

orning exercise should be a staple in your daily rituals. When you
exercise for even a few minutes every morning it significantly boosts your
energy, enhances your health, improves self-confidence and emotional well-
being, and enables you to think better and concentrate longer. Too busy for
exercise? In the next chapter, I’ll show you how to fit in a workout every day
—in as little as 60 seconds.
I recently saw an eye-opening video with personal development expert
and self-made multi-millionaire entrepreneur, Eben Pagan, who was being
interviewed by bestselling author Anthony Robbins. Tony asked, “Eben, what
is your #1 key to success?” Of course, I was very encouraged when Eben’s
response was, “Start every morning off with a personal success ritual. That is
the most important key to success.” Then he went on to talk about the
importance of morning exercise.
Eben said, “Every morning, you’ve got to get your heart rate up and get
your blood flowing and fill your lungs with oxygen.” He continued, “Don’t
just exercise at the end of the day or at the middle of the day. And even if you
do like to exercise at those times, always incorporate at least 10 to 20 minutes
of jumping jacks or some sort of aerobic exercise in the morning.”
The benefits of morning exercise are too many to ignore. From waking
you up and enhancing your mental clarity, to helping you sustain higher levels
of energy throughout the day, exercising soon after rising can improve your
life in many ways.

DVD, what you do during your period of exercise is up to you,
although I’ll share some recommendations.
Personally, if I were only allowed to practice one form of exercise for the
rest of my life, I would, without a doubt choose yoga. I began practicing yoga
shortly after I created The Miracle Morning, and have been doing it—and
loving it—ever since. It’s such a complete form of exercise, as it combines
stretching with strength training with cardio with focused breathing, and can
even be a form of meditation.
