What Is the Miracle Morning?
In The Miracle Morning, best-selling author and speaker Hal Elrod argues that everyone is capable of achieving their dreams in every area of life, including relationships, finances, career, health, spirituality, and happiness.
The answer is committing yourself to personal development by getting up early and following a simple, daily routine of silence, affirmation, visualization, exercise, reading, and writing, which can empower anyone to transform any area of life in a surprisingly short time.
How It Was Born
Elrod developed the Miracle Morning habits in the process of overcoming two major setbacks in his life:
- A devastating car accident that left him with brain damage and eleven broken bones at age 20.
- The financial collapse of his business plus a deep depression in the recession of 2008.
These experiences taught him that he needed to take responsibility for creating the life he wanted. He realized that if he wanted a life of extraordinary success, he had to develop himself into the kind of person capable of achieving success.
What is the Miracle Morning? It’s more than a book. It’s a powerful mindset and commitment.
The Miracle Morning Habits
Elrod committed to spending time each day improving himself through silence (typically meditation or prayer), affirmation, visualization, exercise, reading, and scribing (writing in a journal). His “Life S.A.V.E.R.S.” routine energized and motivated him. This book explains how you can use the process to transform yourself and your life.
So, what is the Miracle Morning? Now, you should be able to answer the question, and soon you might have your own experience to share if you make the Miracle Morning habits your own.
