This “Let it Be Easy” with Susie Moore podcast episode discussing the book The Miracle Morning with its author, Hal Elrod.
​
When asked how people can be successful with this routine when they have tried and failed in the past, Elrod said:

“Even being a three [out of 10] versus not doing them [The S.A.V.E.R.S.] at all in terms of how good I was at the end of that hour —I felt incredible.”

Such a beautiful example of how to avoid “all or nothing” or “black and white” thinking, where it has to be done perfectly or not at all, rather even doing just a little bit better than yesterday still counts as a win! 

These are the S.A.V.E.R.S.:
​

Silence
Affirmation
Visualization 
Exercise
Reading
Scribing
​

I personally started off with visualization, a few minutes of exercise, and scribing and noticed a difference right away n my energy levels and approach to problems in the day. Remember: baby steps are OK!

I cannot recommend this book enough! It is one of my top five self-help and self-improvement books of all time, it gives you practical actionable steps you can start doing right away to improve your life in big ways quickly or step-by-step, depending on how much time you can devote to it! 

As with everything I recommend, take what you can use and what is helpful and disregard the rest!

A Little Inspiration

Because our headspace matters when we are trying to show up as our best selves for our students, our loved ones, and ourselves!

I keep this little sticky note on my computer monitor at work and it helps to remind me of my goals

Students also see it when I bring them up to my desk to discuss their progress. 

It’s a win-win! Hope this inspires you to do something that inspires motivates you!
