What I have learned from this video; Morning routine 1. Remember your dream(s) 2. Make your bed, clean environment, clean mind, enable productivity 3. Hydrate, take water 4. Brush your teeth, using your opposite hand, this will stimulate and keep you present 5. 7:00am exercise, whatever is good for your heart, is good for your brain 3-5mins 6. Take a shower 7. Do one difficult thing, easy things are depressing, difficult things keep you alive 8. Take your brain power smoothy 9. Do your reading, and journal; all genius does that, it builds your mind 10. Have a not to do lists; you must say no to good in order to say yes to great 11. Phone puts you on a reactive move 12. Write your 3 most important goals for the day; the most important thing, is to keep the most important 13. Writing things that will make today a great day: begin with the end in mind! Put first things first. The most important thing is to keep the most important, the most important thing. First things first. Write down three things you want to do for yourself professionally, personally, and don’t touch your phone until you do or accomplish one of those things. It doesn’t have to be big things, it could also be small things 14. Just don’t get up, pick your phone and start reacting 15. Technology is neither good or bad. It is just a tool, you can use it positively or negatively 16. Technology is a tool to be used but when technology is using you then you become the tool 17. First you create your habits then your habits creates you

Love this. The first thing I do when I open my eyes is say thank you God for waking me up. 2. I go take my vitamins and hydrate. 3. I pray. 4. I meditate. 5. I brush my teeth. 6 I exercise physically and mentally for 2 hours. I read sometimes when riding a stationary bike or I listen to audio book while jogging. I do this every morning for the last two years and it has transformed my life I no longer choose depression. I no longer choose reactivity. I choose happiness. I choose joy. I choose to be of service. I choose the perfection in me that was given at birth.

1 Recall Dreams 2 Hydrate yourslef 3 Brush with opposite of the dominant hand 4 Meditate 5 Exercise 6 Jorunal abt 3 main aspects of ur life 7 Have a brain power smoothie MOST IMPORTANTLY DON'T TOUCH YOU PHONE FOR A HOUR OR TWO AFTER YOU WAKE UP FIRST YOU CREATE YOUR HABITS AND THOSE HABITS CREATE YOU

Remember my dreams Make my bed (excellence is habit) Glass of water with probiotics Brush teeth with opposite hand (wake up other side of body, keeps present) Do a little workout (morning time heart rate up by 3mins) Shower (cold, do difficult things to be mentally fit) Brain food Read Journal Not to do list (no phone 1hr) You create habits and habits create you

Tip for cold showers : use a hand-held shower head and start with the feet and hands, and go up gradually, rubbing fast the skin with your hands, especially the thighs, belly and shoulders. I've been doing that for 6 months every day and I love it, I can't even stand hot showers anymore.

1) Recall dreams 2) Make your bed How do you do anything is how you do everything 3) Drink Water 4) Brush teeth with opposite hand, forces you to be present 5) Light workout, I'll probably do yoga as well though, Get your heart pumping for 3 mins 6) Take a cold shower 7) Make a brain power smoothie 8) Read 9) Journal Don't check the phone until you cross these items off your list First you create your habits and then your habits will create you My current morning routine - 1) Wake up late at 9am 2) Check phone immediately 3) Brush and eat breakfast with my phone in hand 4) work I do not like my routine, thanks Jim for giving me small actionable things I could work on to kickstart my morning, it's not like I'm not a morning person (infact I think mornings are the best), I have just gotten very lazy. I'll start this from tomorrow and report after a month without fail!

My morning routine that I want to re-establish is Wake up with gratitude Drink Water Brush my teeth Meditation (breathwork + Gentle Yoga) - Mindfulness Workout Take time to refresh and get ready Make the bed Mirror Work Have a good breakfast - but the smoothie is a good one to do - with great nutrients . Then get the day start - write down things i need to do (3 most important things) Start the day

I am thankful for the day ahead, I smile and fill my heart with joy, meditate in stillness, deep breathing whilst bare feet on the ground looking at the early morning sun rising, stretches and gentle exercises, oil pulling, make my bed have a warm glass of water, some days I don't have the time for them all . Learning to be okay with that 🙂

Your audio cuts off at 16:30...but thank you for making these great videos it's really helping me to make better decisions every day to improve my life.

I start my day at 4:30. I read a page out of a daily stoic book and the quote and lesson for the day. I take my essential supplements and head to the gym at 5am. There I raise my frequency for overcoming the physical challenges I set up for myself. I feel much better and sharper the rest of the day. A sleep routine is just as important. I use a grounding pillow case, subliminal programming, and a blind fold for compete darkness. I look forward to optimizing life with these little hacks.

This is exactly what I did every day for over 45 years. Even after being retired. I kept these habits. This year. It is more difficult. Due to health issue. When I keep these habits. I do much better. This guy is 100%right about this. As for the cold shower. If that is too much. Splash your face with cold water in morning.

As a Coach I found it challenging waking up and teaching them what to start in the rising, I enjoy my risings to myself. Therefore starting tomorrow I will start back with NO TECHNOLOGY In the first hour. Even meditate without being guided. I will also start brushing my teeth with the opposite hand. Love that! Everything you mentioned I do which makes me feel great because it is important. I also Pray and visualize the first 15 minutes of my day! Affirm how I want it to go and say affirmations and show gratitude 🙏🏽

I wish there was a practical morning routine for sleep deprived moms of small children

The winner for me is with the phone discpline. I am going to implement staying away from my phone first thing in the morning! Thank you Jim

The really first thing I often do when I wake is praying, The thing I need to remove from my start routine is my phone. Thanks Jim for sharing this incredible lesson. Be blessed

Jim, one of your super powers is the calmness that you bring to your content. I have found that the greatest teachers understand that this calmness is the path to create understanding and change. Bravo!

I have stopped touching my phone first thing in the morning now. I am up to am hour before I look at it. This has made my day better and made me feel better about my day. ❤

I really appreciate your "I start with Difficult task first" Technique. I shall try it straightforward.

Thank you very much Sir Jim for your very helpful reminders, though there are a lot of videos about this, but I watch more about it in your videos, even repeat it many times.

I missed many new business opportunities that I dreamed about, reflected on and did not put into practice, thinking it was just a dream. Today I know how powerful that is. I am not talking about ideas created by fragments of my thoughts, but about feasible ideas. Thank you Jim for bringing this topic to everyone.

So thankful that I found you today. Listening to you will definitely be a part of my daily habits. You are a treasure ❤

I start my morning routine with 50 pushups (it was 30) then straight to the shower for a cold one for 60 seconds. Brew a bulletproof keto coffee and hit the gym for an hour. I was in the bad habit of looking at my phone for a few minutes first thing when i woke up, but i;ve made a conscious decision to stop by at least only reading a message that was sent to me in the night. Cheers for the help Jim! You're an absolute legend in the most practical manner

My first thing is listen to Gospel music then worship praise ,pray and give thanks to my God.

I am getting up earlier these days, which has definitely jumpstarted my motivation. I spend the extra time moving more, cleaning, declutering, and spending time with my dogs. I will try not to check my phone for an hour after rising. Thank you for pointing out the difference between offensive vs. defensive action. I am guilty of being reactive rather than proactive. Good video. Thank you!

I so love you & your passion to help so many people.. sharing what you know, your talent skill or gifts .. whatever you learned through hardships from your childhood experiences and sharing it all to us so we would be empowered to do more! 😊🎉🎉GOD BLESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU❤❤❤

Love all of these methods. I only use my phone first thing in the morning to play a meditation or listen to binaural sounds. I need to get movement into my days so that is a goal for this year.

Hi Jim, Thank you so much mate I'm committed to make this change, I'm sharing with my family. Bless you for all your help! 🙏 Regards Ned 😊👍

These are just great! Starting with atleast 6 then all 9 for me! Having a routine is the key takeaway and being proactive 🙏🏻

Terrific video.🙏🏼 (Loved your video on brain break with juggling too.) My family’s new habit is writing in our gratitude journal every morning before coffee & every night before bedtime. The everyday stress still happens, yet I personally can move through it with zero panic attacks, as long as I stay focused on the gratitude & ride that positive wave to healthy solutions. Not saying it’s easy bcuz some moments are WTH?!!, but my days are overall hopeful & joyous. 🙌🏼

I start my day by drinking a glass of water after I wake up, doing mindful meditation, reading for at least 25 mins, doing 5-10 mins of exercise, or jumping rope for a start because I'm building this new habit, and then taking a cold shower.

I love this routine that you talked about it. i am muslim so i start with morning pray, then reading quran. This is so powerful for my good mood and healthy thinking.. i hope this is helpful for all human

Thanks a lot for your videos. I really enjoy them and many of your routines work for me very well. One thing though I came recently across is the concept of ego depletion. The idea there is that willpower is a limited resource and every action that requires willpower will empty our "willpower tank" until we at some point can't do certain actions anymore. I think this is important to keep in mind when we build a morning routine that consists of many new actions because I think it shows that it is unrealistic that we can implement all these changes at once and start becoming a new person over night. Instead I think we need to be conscious that it is more realistic to build these habits bit by bit over a long time. Once these become habits they won't consume anymore willpower which we can then use for other actions.

In the morning I do things like meditation, writing my visions, writing what I am grateful for, learn a new thing, brush my teeth, Duolingo, plan tomorrow etc Big up Jim and all who are constantly becoming better versions of themselves ✌️

This is the most and best RU-vid video I’ve ever came across! Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏾❤️ in such times that I’m in I really needed to see this .. I’m grateful GOD BLESS

Inspirational coach, will product inspirational information to prevent others from catastrophic that impact for the human health. Thank you for your advice and scientific information that you provided to us. “The best of people is the most beneficial to people” I really appreciate your priceless lesson and information efforted for us. Thank you ❤

optimzing morning routine by integration. I feel the important thing is to change what I do each day. Great ideas! Getting in the flow.

Awesome 🤩 I used to have great dreams and forget the moment when I look at my phone for any messages/ check 1 post. It also affects my meditation. So 1 thing to stop completely - Checking my phone. One good habit - I meditate daily and the effects are amazing.

Thank you. I'm still trying to work out a routine. Will try out a few things from your routine and I am confident that I will get there soon. Thank you Father r sharing.

Thank you for this! I loved it The first thing I do in the morning is saying this, “I am open and receptive to all the good that is for me, from now on I receive love, health, fortune, blessings, greatness and light, and I am receiving them right now” I give thanks for my wonderful and blessing live. Them I visualize for 20 min. I drink water with methylene blue and probiotics and then i do breathing exercises for 10 min, meditate for 1 hour, then I stretch for 15 min to 30 min. While Listening to good insights, take cold bath, get ready and prepare and serve breakfast, thanks!❤

Jim, your videos are part of my morning routine. Thank you sir!

The thing that I retained the most from your video is that the first hour of waking up is crucial to decide how your day its gonna be.....today I got up from bed minutes after and the difference is huge....thanks

Thank you coach. Keep safe. Always in my prayers. 🙏🤗♥️

Jim you are so cute! And so real, so genuine, thanks for all your great material. I’ve learned a LOT from your courses and your free content - THANKS! From Israel

First thing is always thanking God for this wonderful day. Plus, now, no phone fist thing! Already drink a nice glass of tepid lemon water😊. Brushing and eating with opposite hand sounds great. Thank you for all of these.

i am following you since 3 month but seeing this video today i am going to commite myself that i will defenetely adopt some habbits and after a week i will give my revew again......great sir

Jim I do thank God for letting us have such an original kind nice n helpful guy❤ I am gonna start my routine based on ur suggestions n revert to u once I am proud of creating my morning routine 🙋🏼‍♀️

I immediately purchased a digital alarm clock after watching this to change my habit of snoozing, doing multiple alarms, and touching my phone first in the morning since I use the phone as my alarm clock. Am excited to see and experience better mornings :)

I will do these works in the morning. These works improve focus and approximately then from 2month your focus changed power focus. It works because for a long time I keep use. It is very useful exercise for me. I suggest do these exercise. 1. Room exercise 2. Point exercise (mostly 2min) 3. Breathing exercise (3min)

awakening, grateful I have found you sir Kwik🥰you are helping us a lot.

brilliant thank you getting up after I watch one more video from you and making my bed and showering with care and pride, then a. chapter of my book and a think into what would like to call in for the day and writing it down - brightest blessings Jim in full gratitude for your powerful simple sharings

Thanks Master JIM. My Morning ROUTINE : I make GRATITUDE I strive to recall my dream ( it is not easy yet😅) I make bed I reread my schedule of the day I star with physical exercice by Repeating my CUSTOMED Mentra 😁 I Pray followed by my First study session along with FOREST App set on "Focus MODE" To Motivate myself I say "I shall make another One Important C-TEP towards My Main GOAL by taking into consideration : C : CONTEXT T : TIME available E : ENERGY available and P : PRIORITY After that, I jump into the "DIFFUSE Mode" in which I try to do something Manually or Recall KEYS Points from my study session I write down any RELEVANT idea in MINDLY App before Handwriting them on my Notebook. It is generally after that I touch my phone.

Thanks Jim, those habits since small I follow them..Away from problems and negative people....Good day...

Thank you for the tips, it's really worth sharing. The first 2 things that I do after waking up are these: 1) Praying to God so I can Thank Him for everything and ask guidance for a very wonderful & productive day ahead of me & my family. 2) Hug and Kiss My Husband With My Kids because they are My Inspiration. I hope to learn more so I can share more and I can do more. More power Sir Jim Kwik and God Bless. 😊

Thanks Jim, I was struggling with discipline lately. This is going to help me again.

I am grateful that I found this video in my first hour of day when I was open to suggestions.

I have been trying to be better person by making good daily routines of habit all the time. But it haven't been easy process to make good habits or routines. I strongly agree with what you are saying "Good habits make me". From tmorrow, I wil resume my good daily routine to improve myself. This video ecouraged me to make good daily routines. Thank you!!!!

Thank you. I also include meditation, affirmations and visuals

I make prayers in morning and make my bed... But I was woke by my cp alarm clocks.... Take warm water and meds

Thank you for your services, just finished reading Limitless...

what I learned, is that Jim, when you spoke slower I got so much out of everything you said. Even when I took live presentations from you I could not improve my memory because your speed of delivery was too fast for my brain. But this was FABULOUS!!! and I thank you. So many wonderful ideas. Staying focused on having met daily goals and doing them. ; like making the bed. It invites you to have an organized day, and its a welcome to get into a freshly made bed that cocoons you totally of all the accomplishments you made for the day. I thank you. all is written down. I will retype and tape to my wall and start doing this daily. I won't use blinders, I promiss.Rachelle Neher

Such a good episode, Jim! Great tips. Thank you for the reminders. 💙🙏 I definitely have to and will reset my morning routine ( leaving behind the phone addiction 🙈)!

I will stop checking my phone for the first hour of the day. I will starve distraction & feed focus (powerful point for someone prone to distraction!). I will do 10 minutes of stretching exercises. Thanks for the great tips!

My routine has been: Monday to Friday I usually take a 3’ cold show -> a cup of coffee -> 23’ meditation. (No cold shower during mens days)

Thank You so much! Great wisdom✨ I’m going to start a journal 👍👍🧘🏼‍♀️

I can see the befits but we also need to just be and allowing. I go through periods of discipline routine but it’s not self imposed. I am a creator and I need my down times to gain prospective. I love your mission and I noticed for myself that what you share is innate within ourselves. I am an immigrant in the US and I learned English and Spanish and I experienced many different jobs and gained skills that only life circumstances can bring. I had terrible learning📚 problems and I never really give up on moving forward. Persistence is what brought me here and today I am developing a brand new Italian course for beginners and it’s the fruits of my struggles and the result of living in a foreign country 🇺🇸 Motivation is the key but also life circumstances does it too! ❤🙏🇮🇹🇺🇸

Thank you very much for your valuable contributions!!!

I'll try these new items you just taught and apply them to make it work..Nice lesson

Great suggestions! Especially to NOT check the phone until you’ve done the productive morning routine!

👏👏👏👏 Thank you. This what I really need this year.

Great videos !!! These tools are wonderful .. as a health coach I do a lot of these ..

Wow.Thankyou so much lovely coach jim kwik.i believe my brain is going to wake up now 😊❤

I listened to a shorter version of this by you, st least that’s how I remember it😂…this was elevated and I shared this with people. The “no phone” was new to me, and I will implement this right away. I so love your work and your work ethic. This is such valuable information. I do some of the things already, so I will be “habit stacking” I think you mentioned that in another great video. In the other one you mentioned going outside for a few minutes if possible. I love that too…maybe not in the winter in Alaska😅, but I’ll work on that too

🤯🔥❤ this is powerful!! The best video I have seen so far to help my mome number for 2023! Thank you 🙏

NOTE: The video stops working at the end. Going through your book. Such an awesome message and important mission, thank you Jim!!

Love it... i learn a lot for yoy Jim.. i do some of this already as my daily routine.🥰

I've seen a similar video from Jim years ago but I know that people need to be reminded more than they need to receive something new. At the same time if you want brand new ideas you most forget what you already know.

I have been making my bed every morning. I forget I did it but when I come home at night i'm like, "The maid was here!!" I have also been taking my dog on a hike in the morning instead of waiting to get my work done. First off all, it is more likely to happen if I do it first thing, and second thing, it has really helped me feel grounded and ready to face the rest of the day. I not only get more done but I eat better and think better. The three things I plan to add from Jim's list is hyrdrate, use my opposite hand, and read a book while I drink my morning smoothie. I am also going to avoid checking my phone or computer until after my morning hike and journal writing. I feel like it is an act of putting myself first, getting my brain straight before letting others in.

I listen and affirm affirmations on what I am and what I'm becoming, that way I start enjoying the process. After some time I go and get fresh, then half an hour meditation. I commit not to use my phone untill one hour after waking up from today onwardsm

Thank you so much,God bless you

Great!!!! Thanks just started my morning routine

Thanks for sharing your morning routine

A great way to start the day, thanks!

I jumpstart my brain beginning with dream recall. Then I do a series of affirmations, express my gratitude for being alive, and then meditate and imagine where and who I want to be both now and in the near future. Afterwards, I make my bed, then go outside and expose myself to sunlight for at least ten minutes. I then take a cold shower for five minutes ideally and begin reviewing the activities to be done for the day. While drinking some water on hand or a maca drink.

Thank you so much. I needed this video

Thank very much, Jim Kwik You is the Best

Thank you so much love this!!

I am a Chinese woman . Definitely not a cold shower for me . And for most of the Chinese people . But I agree everything you said . Just the cold shower I can’t do it . I will try my best to do the other things you mentioned . Thank you very much for the useful videos . ☕️☕️🙏🙏🍷🍷

"create your habits, they create you"-It was said by an early medieval Jewish sage, ibn Pakuda: "the heart (ie the person) is drawn after the actions (ie the habits)"

Thank you Jim. I'm going to try these with my parents who are in their 70s 🙏 It should be fun brushing with the opposite hand! 😅

How am I just finding Jim? I needed this when I was in high school ❤

Excellent video! I so needed this talk!!

Dude, In my opinion, it would be better to switch habits 3 and 4 because it is preferable to brush your teeth before drinking a glass of water. This is because brushing your teeth before consuming anything helps to remove any bacteria or plaque buildup from the night before, ensuring a cleaner and healthier mouth.

I will start first thing in the morning! Thank you!!!

Amazing amazing amazing video. Just what I needed.

Loved the idea of not to do list n i will put not to check my phone first thing ❤

Thanks for this. I will try all but not the cold shower.

Take the time to enjoy your moment my friend. All good advice here! Thanks!

I go out to my garden and chat with my plants. Also checking to make sure they are all healthy

I love hearing you… soo informative I journal… brush my teeth… workout 🥲 but my mornings have become sloppy, and I do not wake up at the time I want to :( I WILL CHNAAAGEEEEE
