The Power of the Miracle Morning

Kickstart Your Day (and Life) with the Miracle Morning Process

A few years ago, I met a woman in her mid-60s who had recently divorced, retired, and moved to Charleston—all in a brief span of time. She told me she felt aimless. With no structure or plan to her day, she admitted to frittering her time away.

This is a common struggle, especially after major life upheavals that remove the structure and purpose that we previoiusly had.

The solution? A purposeful morning routine that enhances our body, mind, and spirit.

Why Mornings Matter

Tim Ferriss said it best: "If you win your morning, you win your life." Mornings usher in and set the tone for the day. They offer us the opportunity to center and ground ourselves before we enter the busyness and potential distractions of the day.

I’ve found that when I follow a structured morning routine that targets the well-being of my body, mind, and spirit, I’m more productive, focused, and fulfilled all day.

Enter: The Miracle Morning

Developed by Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning is a simple yet powerful six-step process (S.A.V.E.R.S.) that primes your mind, body, and spirit for success. I have been using this process almost daily for four years. I LOVE it. How much time you spend on each step depends on your schedule. However, whether you spend one minute or ten on each step, your success with the process depends on consistency.

S.A.V.E.R.S. in Action:

• Silence – Start with meditation, prayer, or deep breathing.

• Affirmations – Speak positive statements about your goals and mindset.

• Visualization – Picture yourself achieving success in an area of your life.

• Exercise – Move your body to boost energy and health.

• Read – Select a book that will teach, inspire, or motivate you

• Scribe – Journal your thoughts, ideas, or gratitude.

You don’t need to wake up at a particular time—just commit to starting your day with the process shortly after waking up.

Additional Morning Actions that Enhance Your Well-being

• Hydrate after waking up– Drink room temperature water with lemon or lime

• Delay caffeine – Wait an hour after waking before drinking caffeine to avoid energy crashes later in the day.

• Fuel smart – Eat nutrient-rich foods to sustain energy and focus all day.

Try the Miracle Morning process for the next seven days and document your results. Whether you’re in a life transition or simply want more clarity and energy, your mornings hold the key to enjoying a freaking fantastic life after age 50.
