Here's the first thing I'm going to do tomorrow morning, and it's the first thing you should be doing too.
NOTHING! Absolutely nothing!
This isn't anything fancy. You don't need a coach or an app, a set of instructions, or anything else. And you'll be putting yourself alongside of people like Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, John F Kennedy, and a host of other well known and highly successful people.
Just take the first five minutes of your day - better is ten - and do nothing. You could finish your coffee during this time if you want. Sit at your desk, or on the floor or wherever you are and do nothing. You could listen to music, if it's the relaxing kind.
Let your thoughts come flooding in. Don't go reading anything, and multi tasking is definitely out of the question. You need to get away from everything. No reading! Just sit there.
Some might call this meditation. The problem here is that meditation is easily converted to problem solving and that is defeating the purpose and counter productive. Forget your problems for the next ten minutes.
Keep in mind that what you're doing is clearing your head. That's the overwhelming point and you need to do this at all costs. Doing this will accelerate all of your successes at such a pace that you will get dizzy trying to keep up. Fact! Try it!
No! Don't turn this into a time for meditation and prayer. You can do that too, if you want. It's good. But not now. Save that for another time. Meditation and prayer have their place and bring their own rewards to those who practice them, but that's not what I'm advising you to do here.
This short period is about a total and complete reset. A complete stop. This is a huge challenge, in and of itself and it will bring a bounty of rewards you simply cannot envision until you've found yourself reaping them.
No matter how pressing your problems are, trust me on this, they'll wait this ten minutes and you'll come back in much better condition to deal with them and you'll be amazed at your sudden grasp of an issue you previously thought was insurmountable.
Try it!
You can thank me later.

When was the last time you spent five minutes doing absolutely nothing?
