The Miracle Morning (Updated and Expanded Edition): The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM) (Miracle Morning Book Series) Paperback – December 12, 2023

This is an amazing book and will change your life!

This is the first book I have finished, probably in my adult life and definitely in the last 10yrs. Normally I skip through the books finding bits and pieces that catch my interest before losing interest. Now each morning I wake up and I'm excited to sit down and read The Miracle Morning and practice the Life S.A.V.E.R.S.Why is The Miracle Morning different? It has inspired me to be the successful entrepreneur I had always envisioned I would be "someday." Not there yet, but I expect to be in 90 days. All along deep inside I knew I would most likely fail at this too, since that's how I viewed everything I had attempted to do in my life. I was afraid of failure, so if I didn't try I couldn't fail. Right?Hal shared all his real life traumatic and life altering experiences, failures and devastating financial set backs. Which I could relate to on a personal level. If Hal could go thru all that which is similar to my life experiences and he come out the other side more successful and found an even greater amount of financial freedom, then I could to. "If" I implemented all of the steps that enabled Hal to not only reach his goals but exceed his own expectations of those goals. Just like the restaurant scene from "When Harry met Sally", I looked at Hal's life and said to myself, "I want what Hal is having."The book made me go deep within myself and ask myself why did I fail? Basically it is what I would tell myself right before I would embark on a new job, a promise to a friend or family member that I would do something or be somewhere, my core being would say, "you know you won't follow through." My stomach would clench and I would fell sick inside. This would be followed by extreme guilt because I didn't follow through on anything. Then my inner voice would say, "see I told you, you wouldn't do it!" "You are such a failure. You can't stick to your word or promises."This book has changed that mind set. Now I don't tell myself "I will", instead I tell myself, "I am". When I journal I write, I am successful, I visualise myself being successful, what that feels like and last but not least how I am going to execute it. I visualise each and every step of the way. How those steps are going to make me feel. No more commitment issues. Those are not allowed! No excuses either . Those are replaced with accountability. No more self hate. Hate has been replace with self love, confidence, peace, joy and freedom. Like I said at the beginning, The Miracle Morning is a life changer!I am going back to what my mother instilled in me from childhood and throughout my adult life which I had lost some where along the way. Mom: "Amy, you can do and be anything you want to do or be in the whole wide world. You are beautiful, intelligent, funny, strong, people like being around you and people love you. All you have to do is put your mind to it. Remember it's mind over matter! If you believe you can then you can, BUT if you don't believe you can then you won't. It's all yours for the taking...all you have to do is go out and get it." What she left out was the "how to's" how to set a goal and most importantly what actions need to be taken to reach and exceed my own expectations. Hal not only gives you the confidence that you can but he also gives you a plan of action. An action plan which will help you to execute those actions to reach your own level of success you've ever imagined but never knew quite how to get there. These steps can apply to any and every aspect of your life.So what are you waiting for?Thank you Hal for your transparency and sharing your life experiences from the good, bad, happy, sad, triumphs and tribulations with the world. Because of you, now I am experiencing things I only dreamed of but never imagined it being my reality. Thank you Hal for the gift that keeps on giving. It's feels like Christmas morning 24/7.With much love and gratitude,Amy

Hal Elrod’s The Miracle Morning is a transformative read that combines motivation and actionable strategies to help readers create a morning routine that drives personal growth and success. The book’s core framework, S.A.V.E.R.S, is simple yet powerful:Silence (e.g., meditation or prayer to start the day grounded)Affirmations (positive self-talk to reinforce goals and values)Visualization (mentally rehearsing your goals to fuel focus)Exercise (even just 10 minutes to energize the body and mind)Reading (personal development or learning content)Scribing (journaling thoughts, gratitude, or reflections).Elrod further enhances the process by introducing A.B.C, which emphasizes:Adjusting the routine to fit your time and lifestyle.Building consistency by starting small and expanding gradually.Creating accountability through tracking progress or involving others.Recognizing that restful sleep is the foundation of a great morning, Elrod also shares the S.L.U.M.B.E.R.S. framework, which provides tips for improving your nighttime routine:Set a bedtime routine to signal your brain it’s time to wind down.Limit screen time before bed to reduce blue light exposure.Understand your sleep cycles and aim for 90-minute increments.Minimize caffeine and heavy meals late in the day.Build a relaxing environment (dim lights, comfortable bedding, etc.).Establish a wake-up intention by focusing on the purpose of the next day.Reflect on gratitude or journal before sleep to calm the mind.Sleep with consistency by waking and sleeping at the same time daily.These additional tools—S.L.U.M.B.E.R.S. and A.B.C.—make The Miracle Morning a holistic approach to transforming not just your mornings but your overall well-being.What makes the book so impactful is its universal appeal.

I came across this book when I was least expecting it a little over a year ago. It was absolutely life-changing, and the new version has more content and is even better than the first version!Before reading this book, my mornings were rushed and I seldom had time for personal growth and self-care. My priorities were out of balance, it had been years since I had set non-work-related goals, and one of my important relationships was floundering.It's important to understand this is more than just a book: The author spells out six essential activities in the Miracle Morning routine and explains why they work and how to do them. I had never done some of the steps before, but it was easy to start once I understood them. Doing the Miracle Morning routine helped me find the time I needed to refocus, set, and follow through with goals in ten important areas of my life; My relationship improved dramatically; I started exercising, feeling healthier, and am in the best physical shape of my life; I weathered a difficult work transition with relative ease; and I was able to realign my day-to-day activities with my core values.The Miracle Morning routine is adaptable to your lifestyle, available time, and preferences. It’s effective whether you get up super early, or you just incorporate the routine whenever you wake up. (I’m mentioning this because some people have more flexibility in their schedule than others.)As a result of reading this book, I feel less stressed, calmer, more in control of my mornings, and my life. I have purchased several copies to give to people I know, because it is truly one of the most life-changing books that you can read.

Wonderful Book.
