104. Habits · Just For Today

Jessica Figueroa: Hello. Good morning. Did you know that whatever you choose to do over and over and over eventually becomes a habit? Right now we're going to talk about your morning routine. I'm talking about the first 30 minutes of your day. You are probably in some sort of habit for the morning part of your day, the first 30 minutes that you did not choose. But since you've been doing it over and over and over again, It's become a habit. And we need to decide, is this habit serving you? Because our habit should be serving us. So just for today, I want you to identify what you do over and over and over again the first 30 minutes from the time you open your eyes. Like I'm sure if you've had babies like me, in the first few minutes, you're heading to the toilet and going to the bathroom. But then what about right after that? Do you walk out and turn the coffee on? Do you get a glass of water? Do you put your house slippers on? Do you brush your teeth? Do you go wake other people up? What activities are you doing in the first 30 minutes? Because I promise that there's probably about half of them that aren't serving you. So I want you to either take a catalog in your brain or on paper of the things you're doing from the time you wake up in those first 30 minutes. I just want you to think about it. And then whether it's in your head or on paper. I want you to circle two or three that are just not serving you. Even if they could just wait, because there's better things you could be doing in your first 30 minutes. You could be stretching, you could be reading something, you could be listening to something, you could be meditating, you could go on a 10-minute walk with the first 30 minutes. Just walk outside. Maybe it's hot, cold, snowing, I don't know, but just walk outside and do a circle. But I want you to find two or three things you're doing in the first 30 minutes of your day. That aren't serving the rest of your day. And I want you to stop doing them. Just for today, which is probably actually going to be tomorrow, because most likely the first 30 minutes of your day has already happened. So that's what you're going to do tomorrow. Before you listen, or maybe it's moving this into the first 30 minutes, the podcast. All right, guys. Hey, who are you doing life with on the Just For Today podcast? Who have you told about it? While you're getting better one step at a time, make sure to bring people along with you. That's the beautiful journey called life. Have a great day, guys. See you tomorrow.
