Transform Your Mornings, Transform Your Life: A Miracle Morning Review
Life is a series of days, and how we start each one sets the tone for success or stagnation. Like many, the quest for a perfect morning routine led me to a game-changing discovery: “The Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod. This isn’t just a book; it’s a wake-up call to reclaim your mornings and, by extension, your life.
Why The Miracle Morning Caught My Eye
In the midst of juggling daily responsibilities, I stumbled upon the concept of The Miracle Morning during a podcast binge. The promise was bold and straightforward: transform your life by dedicating the first hour of your day to personal development. The six practices it advocated—meditation, affirmations, visualization, journaling, reading, and exercise—were familiar, but it was the systematic approach that intrigued me.
Implementing The Miracle Morning
Adopting all six practices seemed daunting at first, but the structure of The Miracle Morning made it surprisingly feasible. Here’s how I tailored my routine:
- Meditation & Affirmations: Starting with just 5 minutes each helped ground my thoughts and set a positive tone. I recommend “Affirmations That Work” by William Simpson on iTunes for those seeking guidance.
- Visualization & Journaling: Tools like the Moodboard app and the 5 Minute Journal app make these practices both accessible and impactful.
- Reading & Exercise: Flexibility is key. Whether it’s a book you’ve been meaning to read or a high-intensity workout like the 30 Real Time BodyRock Challenge, choose activities that energize you.
Product Recommendations:
- 5 Minute Journal App: A simple yet powerful tool for daily reflection and gratitude.
- Moodboard App: Visualize your goals and aspirations with ease.
- The WKOUT: For a quick, effective workouts that fits into your Miracle Morning.
Expanding The Routine
What began as a one-hour commitment quickly evolved into a comprehensive lifestyle adjustment. Allocating time for chores, decluttering, and longer workouts on weekends has made every morning not just productive but transformative.

Why It Works
The Miracle Morning works because it’s adaptable. Even on days when time is short or energy is low, a modified version ensures you still start your day with intention. And on the days life throws you a curveball, like waking up with a cold, it’s the flexibility of this routine that allows you to maintain progress.

WOW! I’m amazed that you started doing 2 hours only after 4-5 days. I’m on Day 2, and I love the clarity I have from doing the Miracle Morning. I am actually documenting my Miracle Mornings on my YouTube channel. I see that you have posted a couple of videos at the bottom of this post. Would love for you to check out my journey videos, and hopefully we can inspire others through them!
I have really been considering getting this book. it sounds amazing. the question i have though, is what about actually eating breakfast, having a shower, getting dressed etc. cos i struggle enough with that as it is. is this something you do before that, or after or does he talk at all about it?
