Ever wonder why some people you meet seem to have endless energy, incredible discipline and an unstoppable outlook on life?

Chances are, they’ve given themselves an amazing start to their day. Secret: they do this every single day, without fail. When you get yourself off to a flying start to the day by incorporating a routine that works not only functionally, but revs you up emotionally, it’s like giving yourself an injection of artificial steroids that enhances your ‘life’ performance legally.

I first learned about success routines in my study of NLP and personal development, and since then everyday has been a joyous experience. I’m not saying I don’t have ups and downs during the day, but every day I start off with a supercharged state of mind.

All you have to do is workout what works for you, then commit to yourself that you’ll stick with it for 30 days.

In this post I’ll share with you some of the principles behind it, then share my exact morning routine.

Recently, I attended Tony Robbins last ever UPW event in Sydney.

I wanted to share with you all the amazing lessons and reflections learned from the event.

Experiencing Anthony Robbins live was out of this world. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t see Tony as a ‘motivator’ – he has helped me improve all aspects of my life ever since I started to listening to him on audio a few years ago. It became a life goal of mine to go see him live, and when an opportunity came up I bit the dust and threw a few thousand $$ on the table for a front row seat.

The first day included the FIREWALK. But here’s the thing – it’s not really about the firewalk. The firewalk is irrelevant. It represents a metaphor – getting into such a peak state that any obstacle in front of you doesn’t exist. If you’ve ever played sport at a high level or done anything where you’ve been totally in the zone, this would compare to the state Tony helps put you in before the walk.

As we stormed out clapping in unison, chanting ‘YES, YES’ the whole crowd bonded and there was an atmosphere that I’ll never forget. Most of us had been totally starved for the whole day by now (Tony hadn’t given any breaks for 8 hours straight) dehydrated, emotionally smashed and beat up and many still coming to terms with potential ending up with severe burns on their feet…. but everyone was so revved up and the collective energy was a rare occurence that I might only have felt on the most memorable of New Years celebrations when the clock struck midnight.

By my calculations by nights end over 99% of the 5000 had done the walk, many 2 or 3 times. I saw elderly women aged 70+ do it and I also saw 10 and 11 year olds choose to conquer their inner demons. It was a liberating experience. Hell, after walking on fire, making a few bucks online doesn’t seem so daunting anymore.
