When asked for his number one tip, Peter Sage points to his morning routine as one of the best tools for long lasting success. It has been part of his life for many years and a big reason for his productivity and general wellbeing.
According to him, “We choose who we are every day of our life, and it starts the moment we wake up. Not setting yourself up to win the first thing in the morning is like being busy getting lost driving around without direction, instead of stopping and setting your GPS to get you to your destination.”
Morning rituals are essential to take care of the body, mind, and soul. Taking time out for these three critical aspects of yourself first thing in the morning provides the necessary energy and balance needed for a typical modern and stressful day. He further shares, “My morning routine is the most important part of the day. It’s when I set myself up to win. Remember, every day we have an opportunity to decide how we’re going to show up.”
Peter is an early riser but aims to get at least 6.5hrs sleep. He also makes sure that anything related to work is not part of his morning ritual. Here is how he describes his typical routine, “I’m an early bird so I get up between 5 and 6 am and the first thing I do is hydrate with a large glass of water with some greens or wheat-grass juice. I then set aside time to practice meditation and I’ll sit for 20/30mins to clear my mind and get centered. I will then do my reading which is always focused on personal or spiritual growth based books and never business related. After this I visualize my ideal future and fully associate to the actual experience. For example, walking through the house or garden I may want and flooding my body with the feeling as if it has already happened. Then the last part of my morning routine before I hit the gym is to journal.”
Most of the successful people in life kick start their day with a sacred routine and Peter Sage is definitely one of them. His life is a living example of his claims that establishing a morning routine is crucial for success and wellbeing.
