In this article, we shared five steps to beat your competitor before they get out of bed.
Did you give it a try? We admitted it takes work to change old habits. But new habits can be formed if we get serious about making these the new routine.
Hereโs the second set of five steps you can start doing to beat your competition:

Not only will the movement of a morning exercise routine wake you up and allow you to check off the daily exercise box on your To-Do list, but itโs also scientifically proven to be better for your body.
Key hormones, like testosterone, are higher in the morning and youโll see a boost in your metabolism throughout the remainder of the day. By working out first and then eating allows your body to use the food to replenish, rather than store it as fat.

Donโt skip breakfast. In fact, drinking your breakfast is a quick, easy and nutritious way to go — try making a variety of smoothies with your choice of fruits and veggies. Or keep it old school with a bowl of cereal (the nutrition kind, of course) or a quick scrambled egg with bacon. Just be sure to eat something of nutritional value to fuel your brain.

To really kick-start your morning, and maybe even skip that cup of coffee, begin introducing cold showers, or cryotherapy, into your routine. With the added benefits of improving immunity and circulation, stimulating weight loss, speeding recovery of muscles and refining hair and skin; it also eases stress and relieves depression symptoms.
While you may wish to jump right into the cold shower, we recommend spending the first minute cold, using warm water to bathe, then switching back to cold for a minute before leaving the shower.

Learning and growing isnโt something that stops after school. Your industry is constantly changing. Feed your brain something so it can continue to perform on a high level all day long.
Try to read 10 pages of a non-fiction book each morning.

Spend a few minutes putting your morning routine to paper. What were you grateful for during your meditation? What positive things are happening in your life?
Next, set your goals for the day. What do you want to accomplish before you head to bed that night? Which are ESSENTIAL? Get ready to conquer them first and with laser-like focus.
Making all of these changes at once might be extreme. Pick a few from last week and this week and start working them into your routine. Get a few down, then introduce a few others.
You’ll feel amazing once you see how much more you can add to your morning than you thought you could.
