Goodreads rating: 3.92
I’m actually a little surprised that this book only has a rating of 3.92 on Goodreads, I thought it was excellent and quite possibly the reason why I started writing “my daily journals” that I publish on this website.
The book is mainly based on the SAVERS acronym. I summarized most of what I read in the Miracle Morning in “My Daily Journal Posts” from 3rd November to the 17th of November 2022

Silence
In a way, I was already doing this in the mornings as a close friend of mine introduced me to the Wim Hoff breathing exercise which I’ve been doing habitually most mornings for approximately a year now. I really enjoy it, makes me feel healthy and lively after doing it. I personally follow his YouTube videos as kind of a guide.

Affirmations
I’ve read about reading out affirmations before but I’ve always considered them to be a little hocus pocus or wishy-washy. However, this book has persuaded me to give them a try. What I really liked is how the book gets you to define your affirmations using the following steps:
- Define the result you want
- Why is that result important to you
- What are the steps you need to take to get there
- When are you going to do your actions

Visualizations
I’m convinced that visualizations are important, but again, it’s not really something I’ve done as a ritual. That said, I have visualized things before and many things I have focussed on have become a reality, so I’m definitely going to make this a routine. I like how the author said that instead of visualizing that you’re going to have loads of money or a top-of-the-range sports car that it is far more productive to visualize the end product of the goals you are trying to achieve.
Â
Exercise
Your morning routine should include some exercise to get the heart pumping. My regular exercise generally consists of playing squash or racquetball 3 to 4 times per week, although now thanks to this book I’ve slowly started introducing a few morning exercises that I used to do every morning religiously quite a few years back, push-ups and sit-ups. Nothing too amazing, I’m just doing ten of each for now. My plan later is to possibly try some yoga from guided online lessons.
Â
Reading
I’ve always loved reading, but never really set myself some time aside for the activity. Now I’ve incorporated it into my morning routine I’m hoping that I will get through quite a few more books than I did before.
Â
Scribing
Scribing or writing, I’ve decided to do it on this site. I’m documenting my daily activities in “My Journal” and I am also noting any learnings from the books that I have been reading.
