Your Perfect Day

 Just recorded the latest video for The Monthly Coach program I do. One of the pieces was on "The Perfect Day". While nothing’s perfect in business and in life, recording what your ideal day looks like is a smart move. Because with greater clarity comes better choices. 

What was the best day you’ve had in the past 12 months? What made it so special – and unforgettable? What things were you doing that time that gave you those superior results? Once you know what works, you can set about doing them with greater consistency. And consistency is the generator of Mastery.

Here are 4 recommendations for a perfect day: 

1. Get up early. Getting up early is a gift you give yourself – once you install the habit. Yes, that’s hard at first but after a few weeks you’ll have more time for yourself every morning – time to think/read/visualize/exercise and set yourself up for superb results.

2. Run a schedule.
I write more about this in The Greatness Guide where I say: "The things that get scheduled are the things that get done." Success and happiness don’t happen by accident. No, they occur through conscious choice. Schedule your priorities and the most important things in your life so you can get them done.

3. Stand in Gratitude. While there are so many things you could do to ensure a great/perfect day, I find spending even 5 minutes in gratitude reshapes the way I perceive my day. Please remember, stress and gratitude can’t share the same room. And you’ll see more of what you pay attention to. So focus on best and block out the rest.

4. Growth. Much as we resist change, the fact is human beings are happiest when we are growing. To live perfect days, do things that move you out of your comfort zone and into your Discomfort Zone. A day with zero growth is a day unfully lived. Fears faced die speedy deaths.
