<h4>Transcript &#8211; These Morning Habits Will Transform Your Mindset &amp; Quality of Life (Inspiring Speech)</h4>
<p>If you start your day with a genuine &#8220;THANK YOU&#8221;&#8230; you’ll most likely end your day with many more things to say &#8220;THANK YOU&#8221; for.</p>
<blockquote><p>Almost everything you do from the moment you wake up is habit. Habits formed from your past. Habits formed, by your consistent application &#8211; good or bad.</p></blockquote>
<p>What habits do you want to create? And what habits do you need to ELIMINATE?</p>
<blockquote><p>What habits will lead you to create a better life? What habits will lead to your BEST LIFE?</p></blockquote>
<p>Here’s some common morning habits of the most successful, and most fulfilled people in the world: Exercise. Gratitude. Journaling. Meditation. Cold showers. Correct nutrition. Breathing exercises.  Affirmations.</p>
<p>It all comes down to self-discipline. It’s easier to pick up your phone and scroll social media. But is that going to lead you to happiness? Probably not.</p>
<p>It’s much harder initially to practice self-discipline&#8230; but that is what leads to an easier life in the long term.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>How do you want to feel? If you want to feel great, if you want to feel happy and positive&#8230; do the things that happy and positive people do.</strong><br />
<strong>Practice deep gratitude.</strong><br />
<strong>Meditate.</strong><br />
<strong>Exercise.</strong><br />
<strong>Affirmations&#8230; whatever works for you. Do it daily and create the habit of positive action. It will not take long before your quality of life starts to improve.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>There’s a common misconception that habits are formed in only 21 days. But science shows the number is more like a minimum of 66 days to form lasting, or life- long habits.</p>
<p>Are you willing to commit a minimum of 66 days, in order to change your quality of life FOREVER? Sounds like pretty fair math to me.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Think forward to 1 year, 5 years in the future&#8230; How do you want to be living?  Would the consistent emotions you currently experience be acceptable to you if they remained the same?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Or is there better waiting for you? Are you committed to do that daily work?</p>
<p>According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, around 121 million worldwide people suffer from depression. Shockingly, the percentage of depression is highest among high income countries like the USA, France and Australia.</p>
<p>The truth is, the quality of our lives is not determined by where we live, how much money we earn, or even the events and circumstances of our life.</p>
<p>The quality of our lives, is merely the quality of our perspective.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The quality of our lives, is determined by the quality of our perspective. How we see the world IS OUR WORLD.    Whatever we choose to see, will shape who we will be.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Whatever you choose to do, consistently, will shape how you feel, and how you feel, of course will determine the quality of your life.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7505" src="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3.jpg" alt="morning habits" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3.jpg 1000w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-125x125.jpg 125w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-24x24.jpg 24w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-48x48.jpg 48w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/morning-quote-3-96x96.jpg 96w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>It makes sense then, to choose positive habits every morning that will ensure you are in a better mindset throughout the day. A mindset capable of responding positively to challenging people and challenging events. A mind state that can react calmly, with presence and peace to all situations.</p>
<p>Start your day feeling blessed, feeling blessed by thinking about all the things that ARE GREAT in your life.</p>
<p>Start your day in PEACE. Really feeling that peace and calm, by practicing meditation.</p>
<p>Start your day with purpose. Purpose from writing and reviewing your GOALS and MISSION for the day, and your life.</p>
<p>Start your day strong by getting in some exercise.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Start your day with positive habits that WILL&#8230; ABSOLUTELY create a POSITIVE MIND&#8230; and of course a positive life.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>“Thank you for this new day.<br />
Thank you for every opportunity today to experience LOVE&#8230; to experience closeness&#8230; thank you for every HUG&#8230; every smile&#8230; thank you for connection, for happiness, for true joy, for lightheartedness, for playfulness&#8230; for peace.<br />
Thank you for every opportunity to be a positive influence today.<br />
Thank you for every opportunity to smile, to laugh, to be free from judgement and be my true self today.<br />
Thank you for these clear moments of higher connection, presence and alignment.<br />
Thank you for joy. Thank you for inner peace. Thank you for needing nothing. Thank you for ease. Thank you for humility.<br />
Thank you for connection. Easy connection. Lightness. Love. Presence. God moments.<br />
Thank you for abundance.<br />
Thank you for positive powerful solutions. Thank you for guiding me.<br />
Thank you for flowing through me. Thank you for blessing me!&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>There’s lots of scientific <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/meditation/in-depth/meditation/art-20045858" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence</a> showing that everyday tools and techniques which are available to just about everyone can help to silence your stress, and in the process increase your levels of happiness, boost your physical health, and create a more peaceful, contented mindset.</p>
<h2><strong>Journal It Out | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>Writing out feelings has been a part of  human culture for centuries. It’s now becoming clear why journaling is such a powerful way to release feelings of worry, stress, and anxiety. Journaling makes letting go of pent up emotions much <a href="https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-health-benefits-of-journaling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">easier</a> because it triggers both sides of the brain to work together. Connecting the brains hemispheres streamlines your thoughts. This increased organization of ideas allows for better self-understanding. Self understanding is a great catalyst for finding creative solutions to your problems.</p>

<h2><strong>Laugh Out Loud | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>If you want to give your stress a double-dose of medicine, try hanging out with your funniest friend. A good guffaw not only <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/201301/cortisol-why-the-stress-hormone-is-public-enemy-no-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lowers</a> the hormones that trigger stress, but it also <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-laughter-may-be-the-best-pain-medicine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releases</a> endorphins in the body that help you to feel good about life again.</p>
<h2><strong>Practice Mindful Eating | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>You may have already heard that certain foods help reduce stress levels, but did you know that <em>how</em> <em>you eat</em> can also also have a real <a href="https://www.takingcharge.csh.umn.edu/mindfulness-helps-us-digest-and-enjoy-our-food" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impact</a> on your body’s internal signals? Simply finding a relaxing environment free from noisy distractions like TV or loud talking can aid with balancing hormones and digestion, which helps reduce the <a href="https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/03/07/inflammation-triggers-disease-symptoms.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflammation</a> that is responsible for a whole host of unhealthy conditions.</p>
<h2><strong>Play Your Favorite Music | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>One of the best ways to keep your stress levels down during mealtimes is to play some soothing tunes. Rhythmic beats have been shown to positively <a href="https://news.stanford.edu/pr/2006/pr-brainwave-053106.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">influence</a> brainwave patterns by reducing anxiety and increasing focus. Songs played at <a href="https://www.unr.edu/counseling/virtual-relaxation-room/releasing-stress-through-the-power-of-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60 beats per minute</a> help you relax the fastest because they copy your mind’s calm and conscious alpha waves. Mindlab International even did a study that found <a href="https://www.inc.com/melanie-curtin/neuroscience-says-listening-to-this-one-song-reduces-anxiety-by-up-to-65-percent.html">10 songs which helped people de-stress</a> the fastest.</p>

<h2><strong>Engage with Gratitude | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p><em>“Say thank you in advance for what’s already yours.” </em>– Denzel Washington</p>
<p>An attitude of gratitude has been shown to lower stress hormones <a href="https://www.today.com/health/be-thankful-science-says-gratitude-good-your-health-t58256" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by 23%</a>! This means that a simple heartfelt ‘thank you’ is a quick way to turn your overwhelm into joy. Setting yourself down a path towards greater peace and prosperity.</p>
<h2>Meditate for 5 Minutes | Silence Your Stress</h2>
<p>Much like journaling, <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/life-changing-benefits-of-meditation/">meditation</a></span> help you to focus your thoughts and better <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/05/15/the-effects-of-meditation-on-the-brain/#56e4d65e2ddb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">control</a> your emotional reactions. It <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4364161/">decreases</a> the “fight or flight” response in your body and increases <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3004979/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gray matter</a> in your brain to make it easier for you to regulate your anger, fear, worry, and other stress-inducing feelings.  Even 5 minutes a day can have positive long-term <a href="https://medcraveonline.com/JPCPY/JPCPY-02-00076.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">effects</a> on your stress levels!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Use this inspiring 5-minute meditation by Australian energy therapist Jess Shepherd to de-stress using the quiet power of stillness.</h3>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journaling is an ancient tradition that many notable people have practiced for centuries. Journaling has the ability to change your life. Some examples include past presidents, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde once said “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even today some of the most successful people are using journals to create momentum in their own lives. As Stephen Covey, author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said, “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keeping a personal journal a daily in-depth analysis and evaluation of your experiences is a high-leverage activity that increases self-awareness and enhances all the endowments and the synergy among them.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But most people have never journaled and if they started they have probably given up. Once you read the benefits of journaling you will never skip a day again.  </span></p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Focus on Output </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people wake up and start the day checking social media, emails, and text message. But as soon as you wake up you should be journaling to get clarity on the day. Your brain is most alert when you wake up and the first three hours of the day typically yield the most creativity. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each morning start journaling about the goals you are trying to achieve. Use your journal to create a daily plan and write out your biggest goals. As you read and re-write your goals consistently you will forge them into your subconscious mind. Like Napoleon Hill said, “<em>Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thoughts (autosuggestion).</em>”  </span></p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start Each Day Fresh</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How often do you let a bad day rollover into the next day? Don’t worry, it happens to all of us at some point. But journaling can help you start to fix that habit by providing a bookend to the start and end of each day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of the night open up your journal and look at your daily plan. <span style="color: #333333;">Review what you accomplished</span>, where you can improve, and document at least three wins for the day. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use A Journal At Night</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journaling at night is a great way to recap the day but also a great way to manifest your dreams. Write down what your intentions are for tomorrow to prepare your subconscious for what you are trying to achieve. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This doesn’t have to be a long session and can only take a few minutes. Write out your biggest goals for tomorrow, next week, and even long-term goals. As you drift off to sleep think about what you wrote down to activate your subconscious mind.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get Your Emotions and Health in Check </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to <span style="color: #333333;"><a style="color: #333333;" href="https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-health-benefits-of-journaling/">Psych Central</a></span> journaling has a ton of health benefits as well. “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><em>The University of Texas at Austin psychologist and researcher James Pennebaker contends that regular journaling strengthens immune cells.</em>” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the same study, the benefits of journaling include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clarity of thoughts </span></em></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing yourself better </span></em></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reducing stress </span></em></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Increase problem-solving capabilities </span></em></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resolve disagreements with others</span></em></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start Journaling Today</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With all of these <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/journaling-mental-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">benefits of journaling</a></span>, what are you waiting for? Get started tonight or tomorrow morning by writing down anything you are feeling. Try to direct your thoughts to your goals, emotions, and feelings to manage them in the future.</span></p>

<h1><b>1. Process Unresolved Emotions</b></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journaling helps us make sense of the cacophony of voices within. We often get stuck thinking about what happened a week ago and how we could have done better or how somebody mistreated us. If we take some time to write down our feelings, we’ll </span><a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/healthy-ways-to-deal-with-anger/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">resolve any complicated emotions</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and free ourselves mentally. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unresolved emotions can drain our energy and affect our performance at work and our relationships too. Therefore, you can use journaling for <a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/this-is-not-the-end-inspiring-speech-depression-mental-health/">mental health</a> and clean your “emotional windshields” to stay happy and high on life.</span></p>
<h1><b>2. Build Self-Awareness</b></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you write in your journal frequently, you start to notice patterns in your thinking. For example, I tend to think about work a lot and how I want to be perfect in every area of my life &#8211; waking up early at 5 am, going for a run, working a solid 8 hours, meditating for thirty minutes every day and so on. Because I’m aware that I am a perfectionist, I take it easy on myself when I’m being too self-critical. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Others may think about their spouse, friends, money, etc. Whatever it is, journaling will help you understand the person you are, the things you value, and your dominant emotions that control your life. Yes, take a hard look at your dominant emotions. Because emotions are the driving force in life. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you feel most often: driven, happy, sad, anxious, numb, or angry? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To use journaling for mental health, use this </span><a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/healthy-ways-to-deal-with-anger/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">complete list of emotions</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to better understand how you feel on a daily basis. </span></p>
<p><b><i>Reading back your writings will reveal the person you are.</i></b></p>
<h1><b>3. Find Solutions to Problems</b></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you become aware of the patterns you are living, you will find creative solutions to move forward in life. If there is an upcoming project at work that is stressing you out, you’ll find a new resource or solution by journaling. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By journaling for mental health, you bring spaciousness to troubling thoughts and can think from an expansive mindset &#8211; a state where creativity, equanimity, and infinite possibilities exist. </span></p>
<h1><b>4. Live A More Empowering Story</b></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We all tell ourselves a story of how things are and the role we are playing in our lives. And because nobody is perfect, many of us live a disempowering story &#8211; telling ourselves that we’re not enough and we can’t make anything of ourselves. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you become aware of this story you’re living by journaling for mental health, you can take action to change this story and transform into your empowered self. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, if you tell yourself often that you are not good-looking, you can change this story by telling yourself that “I am beautiful from within because I make people feel happy and safe when they’re around me. And it’s all that matters.”</span></p>
<h1><b>5. Build Your Intuition</b></h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the greatest gifts you have is your intuition: your ability to understand something without conscious reasoning. We use intuition in our lives without realizing it &#8211; to make decisions, to judge how a stranger is from the inside when we first meet them, and so on. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Intuition helps us see what cannot be seen by the eye. It helps us form connections between things that are seemingly disconnected. Many great people throughout history, such as Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg, have stressed upon the power of intuition. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By journaling for mental health, you can hone your intuition as it creates a conduit, a passage for your underlying emotions. It takes us beyond our mental chatter and lets us create to our spirit.</span></p>
<h2><b>Examples: Journaling Prompts to Get You Started</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For each sentence stems below, write naturally without overthinking. </span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I feel happiest when….</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">If I were to open up completely to the happiness that life has to offer me, I would….</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ten words that describe me are…</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The three things that I think about most of the time are….</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The questions which I want to urgently know the answers to are…..</span></i></p>
