Speaker 1: Helping leaders motivate their people to a higher level of
Speaker 1: performance through strong human relations, team building, and goal achieving.
Speaker 1: This is the seven Minute Leadership Podcast with your host
Speaker 1: Paul Fello Aledo.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, and welcome to this seven minute leadership podcast.
Speaker 2: It's episode three ninety five and for this episode, we're
Speaker 2: going to break down a thirty day morning routine broken
Speaker 2: up into weeks that's designed not just to improve your health,
Speaker 2: but to sharpen your leadership edge. Because the truth is
Speaker 2: great leadership doesn't start at nine am. It starts the
Speaker 2: second your feet hit the floor. So if you're struggling
Speaker 2: to stay focused, energized, or emotionally steady throughout your day,
Speaker 2: this episode is definitely for you. And don't worry. This
Speaker 2: isn't some extreme four am cold plunge one hundred burpy
Speaker 2: kind of plan. It's built for real people who lead
Speaker 2: real teams and want sustainable results. So are you ready?
Speaker 2: Here's Week one. This is the foundation and the time
Speaker 2: commitment for this is somewhere between thirty and forty minutes.
Speaker 2: Start with three key habits in the morning. Number one
Speaker 2: mindfulness just ten minutes of guided breathing or meditation, Use
Speaker 2: an app or sit quietly. This centers you before the
Speaker 2: noise of the day begins. Number two is light movement.
Speaker 2: Do ten minutes of stretching or a quick walk. You're
Speaker 2: not training for the Olympics, You're just waking up your body.
Speaker 2: And number three is gratitude plus intentions. In a notebook
Speaker 2: or an app. Answer three simple questions. What are you
Speaker 2: grateful for? What would make today great? And how do
Speaker 2: you want to show up as a leader today? And
Speaker 2: for breakfast, keep it clean and simple. Oats, berries, some
Speaker 2: nuts or nut butter. You're fueling your brain, not just
Speaker 2: your stomach. Now is on to week number two. This
Speaker 2: is where we start to build the momentum. Now we
Speaker 2: layer in more leadership focus. Add to everything we just
Speaker 2: talked about in week one, your top three priorities. Write
Speaker 2: them down. These are non negotiables. When everything feels urgent,
Speaker 2: this list will bring you clarity in visualization. Spend two
Speaker 2: to three minutes picturing a successful day, meetings going well,
Speaker 2: tough conversations handled with confidence, and decisions made clearly. Your
Speaker 2: movement gets bumped up to fifteen minutes. Walk with purpose
Speaker 2: or use a yoga app and start adding a little
Speaker 2: protein to your breakfast. Greek yogurt or maybe eggs. This
Speaker 2: is where your brain starts firing at a higher level.
Speaker 2: In week three, this is peak routine. This is where
Speaker 2: your leadership day really starts. To hit a rhythm. Replace
Speaker 2: light movement with a real twenty minute workout, body circuit training,
Speaker 2: fast walk, or a structured class, and add in affirmations.
Speaker 2: I know it sounds cheesy, but leaders who control their
Speaker 2: self talk, control their results, say or write, I have
Speaker 2: the energy and focus to own this day. I trust
Speaker 2: myself to lead with integrity and make up one that
Speaker 2: fits your unique mission. You can upgrade your breakfast again,
Speaker 2: maybe a smoothie with greens, banana, chia seeds and protein powder,
Speaker 2: because now you're firing on all cylinders. In Week number
Speaker 2: four is integration. You've built the muscle, now you make
Speaker 2: get your own. Switch up your movement, go outside, try weights,
Speaker 2: do a YouTube class. Change your meditation styles, try breath
Speaker 2: work or walking meditation. Swap journaling for voice notes if
Speaker 2: that fits your pace even better. And every Sunday, take
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen minutes to reflect what worked this week,
Speaker 2: what felt forced, and what can I find tune. Leadership
Speaker 2: isn't just about leading others It's about managing your own energy, clarity,
Speaker 2: and composure first. So let's get honest. You can't lead
Speaker 2: well if you're constantly reacting, exhausted, or scattered. That's how
Speaker 2: bad decisions get made. That's how people burn out, and
Speaker 2: that's how good leaders turn to average. This routine isn't magic,
Speaker 2: but it is a system, and systems lead to consistency,
Speaker 2: and consistency leads to better days. Better days stack up,
Speaker 2: and suddenly you're building a better life, one morning at
Speaker 2: a time. This has been the seven Minute Leadership Podcast,
Speaker 2: and I thank you for listening.
