  1. Silence (Meditation): “Practice silence for greater clarity, stay relaxed but attentive”
    • Don’t try to think (shower thoughts bring best ideas).
    • Meditation is a way to engineer that process into your day.
    • Don’t judge your experience.
    • Find balance of relaxation and attentiveness.
  2. Affirmations: “Make truthful affirmations, craft as commitments”
    • Written statement that directs your focus to something of value.
    • Make it truthful, not “I am a millionaire”
    • Don’t use flowery, passive words “I am a money magnet, money flows to be effortlessly and in abundance”
    • Find something deeply meaningful to you and answer why it’s important.
    • When will you get this done?
  3. Visualization: “Use visualization to motivate yourself”
    • Visualize the activity, not just the end result.
    • See yourself doing it with a smile on your face.
    • 3rd or 1st person? Either, but 3rd person might be easier.
  4. Exercise: “Boost your energy with morning exercise”
    • Even 60 seconds…
    • 7 Minute Workout app/video
  5. Reading: “Read a few pages each day”
    • One book away from wanting to improve anything in life.
    • Only 5 pages a day, 150 pages a month, one book a month!
  6. Scribing (Journaling): “Clarify your priorities by journaling”
