Dou you have a “The Morning Routine Checklist?” If your life’s momentum is negative as soon as you wake up in the morning, how do you expect overall improvement in your life?
You might say, “I am going through a very bad situation. You wouldn’t say that if you were in my place.” Now imagine a 20-year-old who has just started his career. He was hit by a drunk driver.
As a result, his heartbeat stopped, he went into a coma for 6 months, 11 bones in his body were broken, and his brain was damaged. The doctor said that he would never be able to walk again.
What if your life was like that? Surely your life is better than that boy’s. This boy’s name is Hal Elrod. He proved the doctors wrong and was able to walk. Not only that, he became a 52-mile ultra-marathon runner.
He donates the money he earns from this source to charity. Not only that, he has many qualities. He is an international keynote speaker, success coach, hip-hop artist, Hall of Fame business achiever, multiple-time number one best-selling author.
Today I will discuss with you his famous book, “The Miracle Morning“. Countless readers have changed their lives by reading this book.
I will discuss some habits from the book that can really bring about change in your life. So let’s go to the main discussion.
Can’t Change It
He followed three magical words in his life. These three words greatly helped him in accident recovery. He called these three words “A, B, C” of life. These three words mean: A = Accept, B = Be grateful, C = Continue progressing.
There are many things in our life, like getting stuck in traffic jams, hearing harsh words from the boss in the office, which we cannot deny. Even after knowing that these are our daily companions in life, we try to resist them.
As a result, we become the cause of our own mental suffering. For example: after getting stuck in a traffic jam, we start honking the horn. Although we know that the jam will not go away even after honking.
Also, we feel sad by thinking about any negative event of the past. We know very well that thinking about the past will not bring any good results for us. Again, we start comparing the past with the future.
The future may or may not be as we want.So, to stay away from mental suffering, we have to apply these three magical words. Which the author has said, “Can’t change it”.
This does not mean that you will not get angry, you will not be offended, you will not be sad. Humans will definitely have emotions. You have to follow a 5-minute rule here.
How does it work? As humans, we experience anger, resentment, and annoyance. Are you angry? Then stay angry for 5 minutes! Then tell yourself, “Okay, can’t change it.”
The office boss said something harsh. You’re upset. After 5 minutes, tell yourself, “Okay, can’t change it.” Stuck in a traffic jam. Feeling very annoyed. Then tell yourself, “Okay, can’t change it.”
Forget about it after 5 minutes. During this time, you can do something that makes you happy. For example: listening to music, reading a favorite book, remembering good memories with friends, etc.
The more you practice this 5-minute rule, the more it will come under your control. Eventually, the 5-minute rule may become a 5-second rule for you.Our lives are like two pages. One page is anger, resentment, and sorrow.
That is, negative emotions. The other page is gratitude and joy. That is, positive emotions. Therefore, we must focus more on positive emotions. If you want to live a happy life. That doesn’t mean you won’t read the other page of negative emotions.
For those frustrations, sorrows, and grief that can be removed, you have to keep trying continuously. And for those that cannot be changed, use the 3 magical word theory.If you learn to accept, your negative emotions will be removed.
And you will be able to bring in positive emotions in that place.
