Welcome to Litsy!

In trying to find a morning routine I discovered these two books for #profdev / #personaldevelopment and wonder which to start with. I found the infographics on https://readingraphics.com/5am-club-vs-miracle-morning/ and though they helped to show a basic version of this, though more insight can be found in the books. Anyone read these? I also like the concept of reading 10 pages a day min of nonfiction/personal growth books. Still reflecting…

When we fail to make time for personal development, we are forced to make time for pain and struggle.

Who you're becoming is far more important than what you're doing, and yet it is what you're doing that is determining who you are becoming.

Where you are is a result of who you were, but where you go depends entirely on who you choose to be.

My past does not equal my future.

Your level of success, will rarely exceed your level of personal development, because success is something you attract by the person you become.

You've got to wake up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction. - George Lorimer

Not a morning person? I wasn‘t either. This is a simple read that helped inspire me to discover all that early mornings have to offer. If you‘re on the fence about reading it, try not to sleep on it too long. :)

Life changing and deeply inspirational 💙

I am not the morning person but I will definitely try to change my morning from now on)

One of the quickest reads that provides us great inspiration and motivation to wakeup early and to start our day in the most productive way!!

#bfcr4 @Emilymdxn @jessinikkip @LauraJ @suzie.reads @wanderinglynn weekly check in: I meditated 6/7 days, I worked out 2x. I finished A Discovery of Witches and have a few books started. Where I had some issues was with my sugar intake, the week was rough and definitely ate more sweets than I would ideally want. I also know I have to define this goal better, not sure what that looks like yet. Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

A quick read with an effective method for starting your days. This focuses on waking up with the intention of taking care of yourself from the moment you open your eyes, thus having more room for productivity as the day goes on.

This time change has me messed up! Gonna see how long I last with this one tonight.

The book will change the way u think & live

I like the layout for the morning routine, however most of the book is just marketing. The passion planner I feel like does a better job of envisioning a ‘Level 10 Life‘. I will be incorporating the morning habits into my day, but over all I don‘t feel like reading this was time optimally spent.

Good read

I just finished this book on audio and think it's perfect for today's #peace post for #MayBookFlowers!
I picked this picture because it summarizes the basic idea of the morning routine Hal Elrod suggests will change your life, giving you peace.
I read all the reviews, negative and positive, and agree with some of each. However, I believe in his main points very strongly and think it's worth a shot to try out his methods.
Meditating/exercising=👍

I had a few extra audible credits laying around, so decided to splurge on this book. Very inspirational! A lot of books inspire you to want to grow and change but this book gives you the how-to.

I was prepared to not like this, because the writing style and presentation could use some improvement. Lots of typos and grammatical errors. But I found this really inspiring! It helped me create a new morning routine and start my days on a positive, productive note, which I have been wanting to do for a long time. And I have never been a morning person! If you're feeling stuck and not making progress toward your goals, I recommend it. 💯

So if he knows he isn't a good writer, why didn't he hire a better editor? I'm still in the introduction and I've already encountered 2 typos, 2 punctuation errors, and a dangling modifier. 🙄 I don't know that I would have bought this if I had seen the comments about how poor the presentation is. I hear there are massive blocks of italics coming up also. Ugh.

Seeing mixed things about this. If the tone is as cloying and preachy as everyone is saying, then we're gonna have a problem. 😆 But I've been working on changing my morning routine since I started working from home a few months ago, so gonna give this a shot!

Hal thinks anyone can just will themselves to only need 4 or 5 hours of sleep. I agree I can will myself to be energetic, but I'll still have eye bags and an upset liver and neck.

The idea of meditating, visualizing, journaling, exercising, reading, and reciting affirmations at the beginning of the day is fantastic and everyone should aspire to do, but the book reads like an infomercial. 💩

Mind over matter, but not at the expense of sleep!

Although the book could've used a better editor, this book was incredibly inspiring and has lit a fire under my ass in regards to starting my days off better. Great book for the New Year!

Luckily my lack of book reading hasn't impacted my audiobook listening in the morning.

Doing this on audible. It's a good reminder to make the most id each day.

If you've heard about the Miracle Morning and are curious as to its origin... if you're looking for a way to reboot or revamp your morning routine, then this might be the book for you. I approached this purely with a curiosity to learn more about the method, but found the "motivational life coach" tone (it IS a self-help book) and the repetitive nature of some of the passages slightly off-putting at times. Commendable principle and idea, tho!

loved this! perfect for aspiring writers!!!

Extracting morsels from this text because the tone, writing style, and delivery can at times be difficult to take seriously.

Choosing to think of this as a giant, motivational pep talk.

Finding that taking notes while reading this is allowing me to focus less on the tone, delivery, and writing style of the book and more on the ideas and principles of the method. Helps to approach it from a neutral, information-seeking angle.

Started this weeks ago & can't even bring myself to finish. Love the IDEA of the miracle morning. & I totally stand behind the PRINCIPLE of it. But the writing.. the delivery of this message? Just doesn't do it for me. Reads like an infomercial & has long paragraphs in italics which hurt my eyes 😁

If someone could only remind my brain of this at 5am when my alarm is going off for the first time ⏰

love who you are 💙

The font in this book is just driving me INSANE 😬 I don't know why, maybe it's just me, but I feel like this is more difficult to read.

rise and shine? 🌅

Apparently we don't spend our extra time in the mornings proofreading books 😜

Part I of the Miracle Morning routine - silence 🔕

I spent 10 minutes practicing meditation with the Headspace app this morning 🕉 it was nice to start my day by taking some deep breaths and clearing my head.

Ready to start turning my mornings into miracles 🌈
