I’m lucky enough to have spent many years at the side of some of the most successful people in the world, via both long-term friendships and work relationships. I have noticed, over the years, that many behavioral traits are shared by all of the successful people in my life.
Monday Motivation: How Successful People Spend Their Mornings
#1 Practicing positivity.
Our mood influences our entire day. Sometimes we wake up mentally ‘on the wrong side of the bed’ for all sorts of reasons. Insomnia, disturbed sleep or stress are just a few of the reasons we wake up cranky some days. Successful people invest a few minutes each morning to get themselves in the right mindset to slay the day. Additionally, they meditate, hit the gym or go for a walk to clear away those beastly bad vibes and set their day up for success.
#2 Speak only positive affirmations to themselves.
Successful people speak to themselves with love and respect. They start their morning with inspirational affirmations like ‘I am a masterpiece,’ ‘I am blessed,’ or ‘I am fierce.’
#3 Own their morning.
Successful people know the importance of prioritizing their to-do list. The most important and urgent items are always handled by the end of each business day.
#4 Practice gratitude.
Successful people practice the sacred art of being thankful for what they have. Giving gratitude is one of the essential laws of the universe. Great things start happening when you realize how much you have achieved, and how much you have to be thankful for in life.
#5 Remind themselves they can have anything they want.
One powerful trait successful people share is knowing that they can have anything they want if they work for, and, persevere at it.
