The Science of Habits and Creating Routines

First, let’s define what routine means: A routine is a sequence of actions that you do repeatedly.

Brushing your teeth nightly and getting ready for bed is a routine. Waking up at 5:30AM and exercising every morning is a routine. Purchasing a bagel and reading the news before you head to work every morning is a routine. Even eating chips while watching Netflix is a routine. They’re all actions that happen again and again, a rhythm in your daily life.

That doesn’t make them all good routines—they’re simply routines by virtue of being done regularly. Helpful or not, every routine is powerful.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”- Aristotle

Get positive: Start the day with a mantra

According to the Mayo Clinic, positive thinking helps manage stress and even improves your health.

“Today is going to be the best day ever!”

” I am Blessed, Thankful and Grateful!”

” I am Loved, Beautiful and Worthy”

” I will Succeed and Achieve my Goals!”

 I want to put my mind in a GOOD state right away…because left unchecked it will try to tell me the things that are WRONG…but through positive thinking, I can overcome it. 

Mentally prepare: Visualize your success

Some of the world’s greatest athletes use visualization to help prepare themselves mentally to excel in their sport. Aaron Rodgers, considered by many to be the best quarterback in the NFL, talked about the power of visualization in a 2011 interview with USA Today:

 Simply close your eyes and imagine yourself excelling and being the best you. Put yourself in situations where you shine, visualizing the best possible outcome. Include as much detail in your visualizations as possible, using all of your senses and making your “training” even more powerful. 

Remember, it doesn’t have to be a lot. Even a simple three-step routine can help jump-start your morning. 

What are the three things you will always do when you first wake up to set up your day to win?
