This is the second part to the Defining Your Ideal Lifestyle post I wrote yesterday.
If you haven’t had a chance to read that one yet, I recommend going back and reading it before continuing on with this post.
In yesterday’s post we left off with getting crystal clear on what your ideal “Waking Up” scenario would be.
Today we’re going to move onto the next part.
Defining Your Ideal Lifestyle – Morning Ritual
The next step in the process is to get clear on what you would like your morning ritual to be.
You could have multiple morning rituals if you like, but let’s just start out with one to start.
What would you like your morning ritual to be?
Your morning ritual will be the time after you wake up but before you are fully engaged to take on the day.
Would you like to start your morning ritual with meditation?
How about breakfast with your spouse or your kids?
Would you prefer to take your dog for a walk?
How about a jog, or a workout or a hike?
Would you prefer to start it with one hour of martial arts training?
How about some time to read, or to compose music?
Or what about journaling or working on your dream book?
Spend some time now and write down on a piece of paper what your ideal lifestyle “morning ritual” would be.
Get creative, and remember that you can have as many of these as you want.
You’re not “locking in” anything or committing to anything.
You’re just doing this to paint a picture in your mind of ONE of the morning rituals that you might enjoy doing in your ideal lifestyle.
The point with this exercise is to show your mind that your CURRENT morning ritual is NOT the only one that you can manifest.
For example, perhaps your current morning ritual is to drag you butt out of bed, shower, slap on some clothes and grab a granola bar on the way out the door and then battle traffic for an hour to get into the office.
That may very well be your reality right now, but it doesn’t always have to be that way.
Imagine that it could be different…
… and write down what your imagination would like to see.
If you feel inspired, leave a comment below describing your ideal lifestyle morning ritual.
Thanks Paul for the great post on creating an ideal morning ritual!
You’re Welcome Mey.
Hey Paul, I’m really enjoying this series of blog posts! I find they have been getting me inspired to get clear on what I really want in my life… thanks for sharing this great info! 🙂
You’re welcome. 🙂
Found out that i finally began to understand what type of personality i am, and gradually figured out that how to start to embrace myself as a scanner, or a polymath, as you said so. Is a big relieve. Wandering around for years, my childhood, my juvenile, even when i started to step on my adulthood, without knowing what i am, what should i do, is like exploring the ocean without knowing where you are, what’s your direction, it was horrible. It was some feeling that you don’t wanna have as a scanner.
Thank you Paul, maybe you think what you did is not something huge, but for me and other polymath or scannet is a big deal. Now, we at least had a clue of how to recognised ourself, and to treat ourself the right way. And stop dabbling around like hell, and “dabbling” around in the search on new things to do, learn, and master (if possible) instead.
Once again, thank you Paul.
Glad to be of help Tommy. I appreciate your comment.
