5 Step Snooze Proof Strategy To Wake Up Each Morning With High Energy | The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Book Summary

5 Step Snooze Proof Strategy To Wake Up Each Morning With High Energy | The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Book Summary

We all strive to be better and choose to become early risers. But what happens when the alarm rings? Most of us are incapable of fulfilling our promise and just hit the snooze button. If you really think about it, hitting the snooze button in the morning doesn’t even make sense. It’s like saying, ‘I hate getting up in the morning—so I do it over… and over… and over again. For most of us, when the alarm clock sounds each morning, we are woken from a dead sleep. Leaving the comfort of our beds is the least appealing thing to do. If you were to rate your level of motivation as it pertained to waking up—a.k.a. your Wake Up Motivation Level (WUML)—at the moment the alarm clock starts incessantly beeping, on a scale of 1-10 (“10” is ready to wake up and embrace the day, and “1” meaning you want nothing more than to go back to sleep), most of us would probably rate our WUML close to a one or a two. It’s perfectly natural, when you’re still half asleep, to want to hit the snooze button and keep on sleeping. The challenge is, how do you give yourself the motivation you need to wake up early and create an extraordinary day when your Wake Up Motivation Level is only at a one or two when your alarm

clock sounds? The answer is simple: one step at a time. Here are five simple, snooze-proof steps to making waking up in the morning— even early in the morning—easier than ever before.

How To Overcome Mediocrity? The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Book Summary

How To Overcome Mediocrity? The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Book Summary

Every day people wake up and face the same universal challenge that is to overcome mediocrity and live our life to our full potential. It’s the greatest challenge in human history-to rise above our excuses, do what’s right, give our best and create a life we truly want-the the one with no limits, the one so few people ever get to live. Approximately 95% of our society settles for far less than they want in life, wishing they had more, living with regret and never understanding that they could be, do, and have all that they want. So speaking of which, only 5% of us will be successful in creating a life of freedom, and 95% will continue to struggle their entire lives. The steps are described by Hal Elrod in his book The Miracle Morning. This book provides you with simple ways with which you can transform your life exponentially.
