Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to Built to Win, your
daily dose of CEO mindset drops, brought to you by
yours truly, Leo Weston today's topic, the one thing that
can literally make or break your entire day your morning routine.
(00:20):
Think about it. How you start your day sets the
tone for everything that follows. You know that feeling when
you wake up on the right side of the bed,
energized and ready to conquer. That's the magic of a
killer morning routine. Now I'm not talking about some crazy,
complicated ritual involving yoga poses and chanting, though if that
(00:43):
works for you, go for it. This is about finding
what genuinely fuels your fire and sets you up for
success every single day. So here are five key takeaways
to build a morning routine that's less uugh another day
and more bring it on. First things First, ditch the
(01:07):
snooze button. I know, I know, those extra few minutes
feel so good, but hitting snooze actually makes you growgier
and can throw off your entire circadian rhythm, the internal
clock that regulates your sleep wake cycle. So set that
alarm for when you really need to get up and
commit to silencing it. The first time Number two. Hydrate hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
(01:34):
Your body is literally a desert after eight hours of sleep.
Start your day by chugging a big glass of water.
It rehydrates you, boosts your metabolism, and helps you feel
more alert. Now for something that's near and dear to
my heart. Move your body. Even ten minutes of exercise
(01:56):
can make a world of difference. A brisk walk, some stretching,
or even just dancing around your kitchen. Whatever gets those
endorphins flowing and wakes you up. Exercise doesn't have to
be this grueling workout. It's about getting that blood pumping
and feeling good. Next, fuel your brain. Forget the sugary
(02:19):
cereal and processed carbs. Opt for a nutritious breakfast that
includes protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Think oatmeal with
berries and nuts, eggs with avocado toast, or even just
as smoothie packed with fruits and veggies. You're giving yourself
the energy you need to power through your day. Finally,
(02:40):
and this is crucial, mindfulness time. Spend a few minutes meditating, practicing,
deep breathing, or simply reflecting on your goals for the day.
This helps calm your mind, reduces stress and sets a
positive intention for the hours ahead. Ever feel like you're
running around like a headless chicken in the morning. You
(03:02):
know that feeling when you hit snooze one too many times,
scramble to get dressed, and gulp down coffee on the
way out the door. That's not setting yourself up for success.
It's setting yourself up for chaos. Imagine waking up feeling calm, collected,
and energized, ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
(03:24):
That's the power of a well crafted morning routine. Now,
let me tell you about this. One time I was
shooting a commercial in Miami super early call time. Instead
of hitting snooze like usual, I did something different. I
went for a walk on the beach, watched the sunrise,
and had a delicious breakfast with fresh mango and coconut milk.
(03:48):
That morning felt magical and guess what, the shoot went smoothly.
Everyone was happy, and I felt confident and focused throughout
the day. So remember, folks, your morning routine isn't just
about getting ready for the day. It's about setting the
stage for success by implementing these five key takeaways. Ditching
(04:12):
the snooze button, hydrating, moving, your body, fueling your brain,
and taking some mindfulness time, you can transform your mornings
from mundane to magnificent. The best part you don't have
to overhaul everything overnight. Start small, experiment with different routines,
and find what works best for you. Remember, consistency is key,
(04:37):
and once you find a routine that you love, stick
with it. It's like building a muscle. The more you practice,
the stronger it gets. So what are you waiting for?
