life! Everything you’ ve ever wanted to accomplish in both categories has been achieved and at record breaking speed! You couldn’ t help but to just smile ecstatically and talk about all the things you’ ve done, all the happiness, love, wealth, and fortune in your life. You’ ve even helped hundreds if not thousands of people along the way obtain new levels of success! What numbers would you like to give me from 1- 100? Of course, in the perfect world, it’ s 100 and 100! Welcome to the 100 | 100 Program! Write 100 above both words and look at the difference between where you are today and where your future self wants you to be? That difference is the gap holding you back from an extraordinary future! If I asked you today, if you have a plan to be successful and obtain a 100 and 100 on both“ Personal” and“ Career” what would your answer be? To be successful on a day to day basis, you must decide to be excellent from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall back to sleep.
Step 2: Power Meditation. Let’ s take the first 10 minutes of your day. What do you normally do? Write that down. Rate these actions on how it makes you feel from 1-100. If your number is not a 95 or above, I’ d like to share with you my first 10 minutes, it’ s called Power Meditation. Find a seat and place your hands palm up on your knees, feet flat on the ground. Shift your chest forward and upwards and now close your eyes. You are now in the Power Meditation pose.
For the next 10 minutes stay in this pose and breathe deeply. For the first minute, you will do a Power Breathing exercise. This is when you breathe in and out through your nose with force, enthusiasm and conviction. As you are doing so, pump your hands up into the ceiling( or sky if you are outside) and back down towards your chest. Pump as fast as you breathe, then breathe faster! After 1 minute stop and write down if you feel more awake or sleepier. The point is to wake up feeling successful, how is that possible if most of the time when you wake up, you are still half asleep?
Next, you are going to think about 3 things you are grateful for and write them down. As you get the first grateful down, pause and meditate on how it makes you feel to have that in your life. Focus on the emotions, are they negative or positive? Do they feel like a closer to a 1 or closer to a 100? Repeat this for the next 2 grateful items and be sure to pick things as simple as the smell of fresh air or as important as your family.
Now, let’ s move on to Pure Energy Meditation, for the next 3 minutes focus on the feeling of unlimited energy. Pick a place in the world, a place filled with unlimited energy and image yourself there. Focus on your breathing and the feeling of unlimited energy. Every time you breathe in, your body is being filled with this pure energy that is giving your life, happiness, and success. Every time you breathe out you are returning it back into the universe. Enjoy this few moments of pure energy, you deserve it, you deserve this unlimited energy every day. This energy will guide you through the entire day, you will always have this moment to reference for pure unlimited energy.
The last 3 minutes, you will write down 3 things you will create today. Creation is not consumption, you have the power to create success, but if you choose to continue to consume what others want to feed your mind, your mind will become a dumping ground for all the garbage that is produced in the world. Write down 3 sentences, start with the word create and end with the word today. After each sentence, meditate and imagine for a minute, already completing those creations. How would it make you feel, describe those feelings? Are they closer to a 1 or closer to a 100? What are the results and outcomes of your completing these creations? When done correctly, the Power Meditation exercise shifts your focus away from poor / average thoughts to amazing, outstanding, and exceptional emotions and outcomes.
Step 3: Creates, Must-Dos, & To-Dos. Let’ s now take the last 10 minutes of your day. On average, what do you normally do? Write that down and ask yourself how it makes you feel. Rate it from 1-100 or you can use words to describe it as well. Now most people would brush their teeth, check social media or possibly read a book. I’ d like to share with you what the last 10 minutes of my day consists of; it’ s what I call Creates, Must-Dos, & To-Dos. Each night before bed you will create two lists, one list is for personal and one list is for career. The lists will contain things you want to create first, followed by must-do action items and then a few to-dos. Here are some examples of what to write for your creates. Create a healthy salad breakfast & green smoothie. Create progress on yoga through 30 min session. Create time to read outside for 30 minutes. Create draft of a new income stream. Create five-plus new client relationships. Create more happiness at work through tenplus compliments. Focus on creations first that they will be the driving force to a 100-rated day.
After creates, then move to must-dos. Must clean out trunk of car. Must pay mortgage and credit card bills. Must pick up children from day care. Must buy groceries. Must close threeplus business deals. Must follow up with ten-plus clients. Must sign up for gym membership. And lastly, add things that are to-dos. These are items that are going to be tasks that you’ d like to get done today, but if you don’ t get to it, it wouldn’ t ruin your day. When you are finished, you should have 10- 25 items on each list. A list totaling 20- 50 creates, mustdos, or to-dos that you know if you got it all done tomorrow, you would have an outstanding day, closer to a feeling of a 100. Now let me ask you, why do I recommend creating these“ success” lists right before you sleep? Because it allows you to plan your entire day and gives you a peace of mind when you sleep. You don’ t have to worry about what you should do tomorrow because when you wake up everything that you need to do to have a successful day will be right next to you. These lists create a vision of a day that when completed will produce extraordinary results. Once you’ ve inspired yourself to a new level, you can inspire others to do the same. Then as a result, the world will become a better place to live. Stay tuned in to IBA Success Magazine for the next steps in Mastering Your Day.
