Your Daily Habit for Extraordinary Health and Happiness

 Train yourself to jump out of bed immediately, with no hesitation, and start your day with movement.

PHASE 1: Move and Breathe (5 Minutes) 

Keep your shoes beside the bed, and hit the ground running! Get up each day and physically move, going outside and starting with a walk to warm up your body and wake up your metabolism. Take several diaphragmatic breaths in the ratio: inhale for one count, hold for four counts and exhale for two counts.

Then, for the first five minutes of your walk, practice the pattern of “breathwalking.” Inhale four times through your nose, exhale four times through your mouth and repeat continuously.

PHASE 2: Get Grateful and Visualize (10 Minutes)

Think about everything you’re grateful for. Start with yourself, and include your family, friends, business associates and special moments in your life.

Visualize everything you want in your life as if you have already achieved it and you are grateful for it. Your brain can’t tell the difference between something you vividly imagine and something you actually experience; whatever you focus on, you’ll move toward.

Focus on what you want to create today. What do you want to make happen? What do you want to do, achieve or accomplish? See it happening the way you want it.

PHASE 3: Use Incantations and Exercise (15–30 Minutes or More) 

Do your incantations out loud. Speaking engages your physiology and conditions the ideas into your mind. Exercise and then celebrate!

Your Assignment

STEP 1: Today, keep your eyes open for magic moments. 

STEP 2: Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, start your day by doing your Hour of Power, 30 Minutes to Thrive or 15 Minutes to Fulfillment.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

THE 4TH LAW Make It Satisfying

 The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change Everyone said handwashing was important, but few people made a habit out of it. The problem wasn’t knowledge. The problem was consistency. We are more likely to repeat a behavior when the experience is satisfying. This is entirely logical. Feelings of pleasure—even minor ones like washing your hands with soap that smells nice and lathers well—are signals that tell the brain: “This feels good. Do this again, next time.” Pleasure teaches your brain that a behavior is worth remembering and repeating.  Conversely, if an experience is not satisfying, we have little reason to repeat it. In my research, I came across the story of a woman who had a narcissistic relative who drove her nuts. In an attempt to spend less time with this egomaniac, she acted as dull and as boring as possible whenever he was around. Within a few encounters, he started avoiding her because he found her so uninteresting. Stories like these are evidence of the Cardinal Rule...

THE CONTEXT IS THE CUE

 The cues that trigger a habit can start out very specific, but over time your habits become associated not with a single trigger but with the entire context surrounding the behavior. We mentally assign our habits to the locations in which they occur: the home, the office, the gym. Each location develops a connection to certain habits and routines. You establish a particular relationship with the objects on your desk, the items on your kitchen counter, the things in your bedroom. Our behavior is not defined by the objects in the environment but by our relationship to them. In fact, this is a useful way to think about the influence of the environment on your behavior. Stop thinking about your environment as filled with objects. Start thinking about it as filled with relationships. Think in terms of how you interact with the spaces around you. For one person, her couch is the place where she reads for an hour each night. For someone else, the couch is where he watches television and ...
