I have this elrod mask from tots and i want to make it look better. i think it lacks so much facial feature and is too white for my liking. Any tips and tricks to make it better. I have never done anything with any mask so i will need a total rundown of things.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I listened to Hal Elrod on a podcast and I wanted to read a book of his. The issue is that it appears that he’s written the same book a few times. Is there a stand out or 2 that I can read while safely ignoring the rest?

Thanks

I mean, it's a weird complement to tell someone that they're so amazing they're even worthy of being numbered with... the guy who brought death and ruin to literally everyone he ever loved. You too could kill your best friend and cause the fall of one of the greatest remaining Noldor kingdoms. Um? Thanks, Elrond?

Would tomorrow be any different for any of us?

How many of us consistently apply what we read from Self Help Books.? On the flip side, what would happen if we apply one key idea consistently for say just the next 30 days. So in this post, I present a book summary and a challenge for next 30 days. If you decide to take the challenge, do drop a comment.

The Miracle Morning By Hal Elrod - Summary

Learnings

• "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant…" - Robert Louis Stevenson
• Your level of success will match the level of your self-development. You would not expect to score 100 in an exam if your preparation is around 10, 20, or even 70. Similarly, don’t expect to achieve extraordinary success, if your self-development is average or even good, it should be extraordinary.
• You need to find time for self-development and growth. By getting up 1 hour before your usual time, you can have an hour for self-development and miracle-making.
• Hal has devised an acronym - S.A.V.E.R.S (Silence, Affirmation, Visualization, Exercise, Reading & Scribing). representing the various practices that go in this one hour.
• Each practice is designed to make a measurable difference in your Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual aspects of life. Recommended time for each is of 10 minutes.

What are the S.A.V.E.R.S ?

1. Silence is the first practice. It can be meditation, reflecting, prayer, deep breathing, or expressing Gratitude. You can choose to alternate between each.

One Simple Meditation Technique is as follows: -

• Close your eyes
• Take 3 deep breaths.
• Concentrate on your breathing. While inhaling identify that this is your "In Breath" and while exhaling be aware that this is your "Out Breath".
• You can choose to mentally say this is mine "In Breath" and while exhaling say this is my "Out Breath".
• If you feel your mind is wandering, don't resist - Just observe your thought, don't follow them, and return back to your breathing.
• Meditate for 10 minutes

2. Affirmation is a positive statement to self, designed to condition your subconscious mind. Affirmation should reflect what you want rather than what you don’t want.

• It is recommended to write the affirmation in the present tense.
• It is important to feel it emotionally and the aim is to feel that you are already having, doing, or being what you are affirming.
• It is OK if, in the beginning, you feel that you are lying. Fak

I am sure you have heard, read, seen enough about benefits of rising early and accomplish much more than we can imagine. And if you are thinking ‘I am not Morning Person’ Please ask yourself, who told you that? It’s You. And you have the power to convince yourself otherwise.

The miracle morning is one of the best books I have read after “The 5 A.M Club” of Robin Sharma. Read this one, apply what you read and reap the benefits of waking up with determination & purpose. You may consider taking ’30 days challenge’ Hal presents in the book.

Hal suggests that no matter what level of life we are at, whether one is extremely successful, nailing at all aspect or struggling to advance in life, one thing is common among all is “our desire to improve our life”. The Miracle morning offers wonderful way for consistent growth.

Few 🔑 Points –

• Hal poses an amazing question ‘why did you wake up this morning? Is it because you must or is it because you want to?’ The difference between these two choices tells a lot about our life.

• Know that wherever you are in your life right now is both temporary, and exactly where you are supposed to be. You have arrived at this moment to learn what you must learn, so you can become the person you need to be, to create the life you truly want.

• Forget waking up at 5 A.M. if that’s too much. Start with 15 minutes earlier than your usual time and pick one thing. It could be anything, quick exercise, journaling, meditation, visualization, reading 2 to 3 pages of good book.

• When you delay waking up until you must, meaning you wait until the last possible moment to get out of bed and start your day. Consider that what you’re doing is resisting your life.

• There is no better day than today for us to give up who we’ve been for who we can become and upgrade the life we’ve been living for the one we really want.

Few 📌 Quotes –

1. To create the levels of personal, professional, and financial success you desire, you must first dedicate time each day to becoming the person you need to be.

2. Everything happens for a reason, but it is our responsibility to choose the most empowering reasons for the circumstances of our lives.

3. CHANGE begins with accepting total responsibility for every aspect of our life and refusing to blame anyone else.

4. No matter what your past has been, you can change your future, by changing the present.

5. To make profound changes in your life, you need either inspiration or desperation. – Anthony

Hi, BettermentBookClub community.

This article will explain what “The Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod has brought to my life. As probably you, I'm always searching for systems that help me accomplish the things I want to do.

One of the answers is to develop intentional routines.

When you read about people who do outstanding achievement now or in history or discuss with someone who looks fulfill, you often find behind a set of productive habits. And the same goes for people who have issues; you often see a collection of bad habits.

>"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Will Durant

And what is an intentional routine?

A set of good habits put intentionally.

I've started to become familiar with the concept when I first read "the 7 habits of effective people".

But I started to implement it with the easy blueprint of "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod.

So the question is, "Why implementing a routine? "

3 reasons to implement a routine

Consistency

As with investment, the compound effect is magic. It's the same for your habits. Whatever you do regularly will bring you progress and results. Consistency is the best friend of anyone who wants to do something. And guess what? We all want.

We often see in children a burst of energy, joy. Sometimes too much when you're a parent 😊.

Part of it comes from their youngness, the other from their routines.

Most children go to bed at a particular time (usually early) and wake up all the same hours.

But have you noticed? When you break their routines, children become tired and more nervous. Do that often, and you'll suffer as a parent.😊

As an adult, rebuilding an intentional routine bring more regularity. And often you get undirect effects. You sleep better, eat healthier, and you move more. As you're less tired, you make more helpful choices in your daily life. And again, small improvements every day have a tremendous compound in the long term.

Time for you.

One of the most challenging parts of this era of information, economy knowledge, and competition is finding harmony in our lives.

It's not easy.

In between families, friends, work, personal hobbies...

"I have no time for me" is the most common challenge.

We're all consummator of information. But we rarely produce our own art. And everyone has something to create in writing, drawing, thinking, learning, moving...

Routines bring you the dedicated time you're searching for. And tha

Seriously I've been a huge fan of Survivor for a very, very long time and as challenging as it may have been, I did struggle through all four seasons of Riverdale. So how in the world did this not click with me? Seriously what went wrong in my silly excuse for a brain that caused that information to slip by me? I just found out about half an hour ago from those EW interviews and I was astounded. It is currently 11:00 p.m where I live and I can't let it go. Somebody please help me.

In this book Hal talks about 6 habits he says will transform your life before 8am. The Miracle Morning uses the pneumonic SAVERS which includes silence, affirmations, visualisation, exercise, reading and scribing

This book has ten chapters and it starts with Hal’s background and how he came up with this idea, then talks about why it is so important, before moving into more detail on each of the SAVERS.

This book is short and fairly easy to read. None of the ideas in this book are new and Hal admits that he learnt about all of these ideas from reading other people’s books, all he has done here is combine them together into a more marketable package, which doesn’t seem that impressive in a way. However, I had been planning to try journaling and affirmations for ages and the way he put them together in a catchy package made me do them, so perhaps there is some genius there.

After reading this book, I did the Miracle Morning 30 day Transformation Challenge, and I have enjoyed having more structure to my morning routine and getting so much done before I even start work in the mornings.

I like the concept of the book. However, I think it could be better written so while I would recommend The Miracle Morning to people, I don’t feel like you have to read the book, a quick Google could probably give you all the information you need to start.
