Before The Chaos (8/4)

Good morning from close friends Brett Hobbs and Michael Barone. We are here every Monday morning to help prepare you Before The Chaos!

Win the morning.

Your first hour can either set the tone for clarity, focus, and momentum - or spiral into chaos and distraction. The morning is your foundation. If you win the morning, you’re more likely to win the day.

What’s your current routine? Is it reactive: emails, scrolling, rushing? Or intentional: movement, reading, and planning?

Small tweaks in your morning can have massive ripple effects. The earlier you build momentum, the harder it is for the world to knock you off course.

Reflection

“What’s the first thing I do when I wake up?”

“Is my morning routine helping me become the person I want to be?”

Take Action Task

Close your eyes and tell yourself how strong and powerful you are. That you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

One Achievable Goal

Set one goal that must be completed before week’s end.

Ours is to wake up 30 minutes earlier one day this week, without touching our phones, and use that time to move, read, or plan. Something intentional.

VERSE

Mark 1:35

“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.”

Closing

Your habits shape your identity. Start each day by becoming the person you’re working to be. You don’t need to be in constant overdrive. Just win the first hour. Use the momentum, and let it carry you forward.
