So, I gotta tell you, I spent over $1,000 on courses and tools to learn this morning routine that’s seriously leveled up my life. And since it’s been a game-changer for me, I’m giving you the inside scoop (you don’t need to spend a fortune to get the benefits).

Let’s dive into the six steps I use to kick things off every day.

The 6-Step High-Performance Morning Routine

1. Hydrate First Thing

The moment I wake up, I drink about 16 oz of water. You actually lose a lot of water while you’re sleeping, so starting your day hydrated does wonders for your alertness, metabolism, and digestion.

  • Pro Tip: Aim for 1 oz of water per 10 pounds of body weight throughout the day.

2. Get Some Sun

Next, I head outside for a few minutes to soak up some sunlight. This is like hitting a mental reset button. It helps with alertness, boosts your mood, and sets your circadian rhythm (your internal clock).

3. Breathwork Is Key

Now, I know when people hear “breathwork,” it sounds crazy, but it’s just about using your breath to tap into your energy and calm the mind. I used to do the Wim Hof breathing technique, but now I’m into an energy activation breathwork that only takes 5 minutes. (Hit me up if you want the details on this, it’s legit.)

4. Meditate or Pray

After breathwork, I take time to either meditate or pray. Personally, I connect with Jesus in the mornings. It’s a great way to center yourself and set a mindful intention before the day’s hustle begins.

5. Tea or Coffee (Your Call)

I brew a cup of yerba mate tea because it gives me that clean energy without the jitters. But if you’re more of a coffee person, do you! It’s about finding the caffeine source that works for your vibe and doesn’t lead to a crash.

6. The Last Step: Do YOU (Movement & Cold Exposure)

Now you’re ready to move. Whether you jump straight into your day, go for a walk, hit the gym, or brave a cold shower, it’s all good. I usually go for cold exposure at the end—it’s intense, but it sets the tone for discipline and focus.

Next Steps
