5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to this seven minute leadership podcast.

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 2>It's episode three ninety five and for this episode, we're

7
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>going to break down a thirty day morning routine broken

8
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>up into weeks that's designed not just to improve your health,

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 2>but to sharpen your leadership edge. Because the truth is

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>great leadership doesn't start at nine am. It starts the

11
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>second your feet hit the floor. So if you're struggling

12
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 2>to stay focused, energized, or emotionally steady throughout your day,

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>this episode is definitely for you. And don't worry. This

14
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>isn't some extreme four am cold plunge one hundred burpy

15
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of plan. It's built for real people who lead

16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>real teams and want sustainable results. So are you ready?

17
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Here's Week one. This is the foundation and the time

18
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 2>commitment for this is somewhere between thirty and forty minutes.

19
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Start with three key habits in the morning. Number one

20
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>mindfulness just ten minutes of guided breathing or meditation, Use

21
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>an app or sit quietly. This centers you before the

22
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>noise of the day begins. Number two is light movement.

23
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Do ten minutes of stretching or a quick walk. You're

24
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>not training for the Olympics, You're just waking up your body.

25
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 2>And number three is gratitude plus intentions. In a notebook

26
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>or an app. Answer three simple questions. What are you

27
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>grateful for? What would make today great? And how do

28
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you want to show up as a leader today? And

29
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>for breakfast, keep it clean and simple. Oats, berries, some

30
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>nuts or nut butter. You're fueling your brain, not just

31
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>your stomach. Now is on to week number two. This

32
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 2>is where we start to build the momentum. Now we

33
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>layer in more leadership focus. Add to everything we just

34
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 2>talked about in week one, your top three priorities. Write

35
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>them down. These are non negotiables. When everything feels urgent,

36
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>this list will bring you clarity in visualization. Spend two

37
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>to three minutes picturing a successful day, meetings going well,

38
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>tough conversations handled with confidence, and decisions made clearly. Your

39
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>movement gets bumped up to fifteen minutes. Walk with purpose

40
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>or use a yoga app and start adding a little

41
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>protein to your breakfast. Greek yogurt or maybe eggs. This

42
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>is where your brain starts firing at a higher level.

43
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>In week three, this is peak routine. This is where

44
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>your leadership day really starts. To hit a rhythm. Replace

45
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>light movement with a real twenty minute workout, body circuit training,

46
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>fast walk, or a structured class, and add in affirmations.

47
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I know it sounds cheesy, but leaders who control their

48
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>self talk, control their results, say or write, I have

49
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>the energy and focus to own this day. I trust

50
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>myself to lead with integrity and make up one that

51
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>fits your unique mission. You can upgrade your breakfast again,

52
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>maybe a smoothie with greens, banana, chia seeds and protein powder,

53
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>because now you're firing on all cylinders. In Week number

54
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 2>four is integration. You've built the muscle, now you make

55
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 2>get your own. Switch up your movement, go outside, try weights,

56
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>do a YouTube class. Change your meditation styles, try breath

57
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>work or walking meditation. Swap journaling for voice notes if

58
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>that fits your pace even better. And every Sunday, take

59
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 2>ten to fifteen minutes to reflect what worked this week,

60
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>what felt forced, and what can I find tune. Leadership

61
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>isn't just about leading others It's about managing your own energy, clarity,

62
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>and composure first. So let's get honest. You can't lead

63
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>well if you're constantly reacting, exhausted, or scattered. That's how

64
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>bad decisions get made. That's how people burn out, and

65
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>that's how good leaders turn to average. This routine isn't magic,

66
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>but it is a system, and systems lead to consistency,

67
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and consistency leads to better days. Better days stack up,

68
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 2>and suddenly you're building a better life, one morning at

69
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 2>a time. This has been the seven Minute Leadership Podcast,

70
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.000
