 The ‘Wake Up & Go’ Routine
10 THINGS TO DO TO START AN AMAZING DAY
Notes
1. Unleash The Beauty, Not The Beast
• Practice 3 SIMPLE things immediately on getting out of
bed to get into a positive mindset:
o Smile for no reason, open blinds (get some
sunshine), step outside (fresh air), turn on
some music, actions that improve how you feel
2. Nurture Your Seeds Of Potential
• When you wake up, your mind/heart are like an empty
garden - what you plant first usually becomes the
fruit or results you'll see the rest of the day
• Most people plant complaining, getting upset, arguing, or
watching negative news in their garden first, then
wonder why they have a bad day
• You want to talk, think, and watch positive things -
sets up your mind/emotions for success
3. Know And Go
• The worst time to develop a plan is the moment you need
one - this is what most people do:
o Creates stress and causes problems (things are
forgotten, it’s easier to eat poorly, etc.)
• Know in advance (and have it ready to go): What
you'll wear, eat, and things you need to take with you
4. Design A Day Launcher Checklist
• Create a simple checklist of the process you want to
follow every morning to launch/start your day:
o Wake up, open blinds, drink water, check
calendar, etc.
• Helps you spend time more efficiently and avoid time
wasting distractions that stress you out
• Also helps you identify and clarify specific action steps
you want to take to have an amazing morning
5. Go Back To The Future
• A big factor in being successful today is what you did
yesterday to set yourself up for success
• Spend 3-5 minutes planning tomorrow, today:
o You act with intention, not impulse
o Get it off you mind - you have peace
o Gives your brain time to find solutions
6. Oil The Rust
• To function properly, you need to wake up your body in
the morning - get your blood pumping/muscles moving

• Don't have time to work out/go to gym? No problem.
o Don't need to do much, do need to do something
• While your coffee/tea brews, or oatmeal cooks:
o Walk around your house or stretch in place
7. Shower Down Some Awesomeness
• You spend 5-15 minutes taking a shower - valuable time
you're not distracted by phone, TV, kids, etc
• Do something other than lathering up:
o Express your goals/affirmations
o Talk about something you learned recently
o State how your day will unfold
8. Fire Up Your Gratitude Machine
• Identify 5 specific things you’re grateful for
• Puts your mind/emotions in a mode where your focus is
on what's working in your life - what makes you happy
and satisfied - leads to more wins throughout the day
• Be grateful for: Big/small, past/present/future,
person/place/thing:
o See each item clearly in your mind, and say
'Thank you' 3 times - feel it!
9. Get Your Liquid Fuel
• Drink 8-12 oz. of water - not coffee/tea - soon after
waking up... you’ve gone 6-10 hours without it
• Squeeze citrus into it to give it some flavor
• Warm Honey-Lemon Water - It starts your
metabolism, cleanses your mouth/throat, and gives you
a boost of energy (wait at least 30 minutes before
brushing your teeth, drinking, or eating)
10 Start With A Win
• Start your day with a victory - even small one, it
creates momentum to help you achieve more wins
throughout your day
• The easiest way to win in the morning...make your bed!
• Naval Adm. William McRaven: “If you make your bed
every morning you will have accomplished the first task
of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will
encourage you to do another task and another and
another.
If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do
the big things right.
If you want to change the world, start off by making
your bed.”
