How to Set the Mood For the Day

by Frederic Patenaude

Here's one of my most important health (and success)
tips of all:

"Design and follow a strict morning routine to improve
every aspect of your day"

Let me explain: it's been found that people who had
the most success in implementing a fitness program,
releasing weight or accomplish great things (like
writing a book) all had one thing in common:

-They Started the Day on the Right Foot-

What you do in the morning will influence every aspect
of your day. If you exercise in the morning, you'll
feel more alert the rest of the day. If you eat a
great raw, living meal in the morning, you'll compare
every other meal to that one. And so on and so forth.

But the key is... you actually have to *design* this
morning schedule and practice it religiously until it
becomes a *ritual* — so completely automatic.

As an example, here's my current morning routine:

- 7:30 a.m. waking up, quick stretch, and I go outside
to get sunshine in my eyes
- I drink 1/2 liter of water with lemon
- I practice the 5 tibetan rites (a yoga-like
exercise), and a few other exercises for about 10
minutes
- Shower, shaving, dressing properly
- Breakfast of usually a raw smoothie
- Brushing teeth
- I go for a walk

The morning routine allows me to remember to do all of
the things that are important to me in the morning in
a systematic manner. Before that, it was completely
random. I would wake up at different times every day,
sometimes I would exercise, sometimes I would not.
Sometimes I would forget to drink water, sometimes I
would not...

Success in life and health is a lot about
*consistency* .

In order to do that, you need *rituals* that are
completely automatic. I will talk more about this in a
future tip.

But for now, focus on designing on paper your ideal
morning routine, and then follow it for the next 21
days. Make it realistic. After a few weeks, it will
become completely automatic.
