My name is Jim.

Quick with quick learning, and I'm here is always to help youto learn quickly.

One of the questions in the community that we get is Jim.

What do you do every single morning to jumpstart your brain for greater success?

Rainer love was a focus.

Greater levels of productivity.

So I'm gonna walk you through my morning routine.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is I have a process to remember My dreams.

You're like Jim, Why do you want to remember your dreams?

The reason why is often as you spend your day learning and working solve problems, solve problems in your work in your life and everything else.

When you sleep, your mind doesn't stop your unconscious mind.

Still working on those problems and you come up with incredible insights and solution.

The challenges is in the morning.

Most people don't remember their dreams.

So we teach a process on how to do that.

The second thing I do after I wake up as I get out of bed and I make my bed like Jim, why is that good for your brain?

Two reasons.

Number one clean environment is important for you.

You know, when you clean off your desk top, you clean up your office, your bedroom, you have a clearer mind.

The second reason why is I want to start my day with success, because how you do anything is how you do everything you started with except take two minutes.

Make your bed and it's really great when you come home at the end of day, you come back full circle, back to success.

The third thing I do is I drink a lot of water.

Your brain is mostly water, 80% water and a lot of people dehydrated.

Use so much water, and it's so important for your brain to be hydrated.

The challenges.

You lose a lot of water when you're sleeping, so I super hydrate first thing in the morning.

Then what do I do?

I brush my teeth like Jim.

You brush your teeth.

How is that good for your brain?

What you do is you brush your teeth with your opposite hand.

It's been shown that by using your opposite hand to eat or to brush your teeth as your body moves your brain groups as you brush your teeth with your opposite hand actually creates more neural connections inside your brain.

So the next thing I do is I do a deep breathing exercise.

The other thing, besides hydration that's good for your brain, his oxygen People get tired and they have brain fog and what they do with their mental fatigue.

And I would say the number one thing is getting oxygen in your body.

And here's the thing.

Your brain is only 2% of your body weight on average, but it consumes 20% of the nutrients and oxygen.

So it's so important to do deep breathing exercises.

We talk about that programs also as well.

What's the next thing I do in my morning routine?

I make myself some tea.

I make what I call a brain.

T has Goto cola gingko biloba, has lion's mane and has some essential fatty acids that air.

They're really good ingredients that boost my focus and my memory.

Now, as I'm drinking the tea, what am I doing?

I'm actually journaling because if you want to boost your brainpower porn to take notes and I do a whole process right, teach you the best ways of taking notes and making notes to be able to plan out your day and also to be able Teoh right, the things that you're most grateful for.

So I go through this gratitude process in my journal because I feel like your brain really thrives on gratitude.

Because if you can't appreciate the things that you already have, you're not gonna be given the things that you really want.

So why do I focus on gratitude First thing in the morning?

Well, I have my vision board and then my goals, everything that I want.

But I also have a gratitude toward the things that I'm most grateful for my life.

And if you want to feel instant gratitude, just count all the things in your life that you have that money can't buy.

Gratitude is also good for your brain.

There was a cover story on the cover of Time magazine on These Super notes are living 80 90 and above, and I want to find how Wester longevity coming from half that had to do with their gratitude.

Emotional faith the other half had to do.

But there were lifelong learners.

So those two things combined a very, very powerful.

After that, I'm drinking my tea.

I'm writing in my journal because a lot of geniuses, right in journals, right?

Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein, Marie Currie, all these journals and they're going to do these studies.

They are geniuses writing in journals because they're geniuses.

Or is it?

The opposite is because they're writing in journals that they become these incredible geniuses of their field.

When I'm done drinking my brain t and writing my journal, the next thing I do is I do something.

Just morning exercises is not my exercises for the day, but three or four minutes of high intensity workout to kind of get your heart people going because here's the thing.

Whatever is good for your heart, usually good for your head, because when I'm getting my heartbeat going, what's happening is I'm getting more blood flow to my brain and more oxygen.

That's very, very important.

So what do I do next?

I make my brain power smoothie like Jim.

What's a brain power smoothie?

They're certain foods that are really great for your brain, and I teach people how to memorize these foods what we do.

It I just put it all in a blender.

So certain foods like like blueberries, right?

I call them brain Berries.

They're things like avocado.

Very good for the brain, also as well, obviously, hydration.

We're talking about all those ingredients in another video.

So as I'm drinking my brain power smoothie, what am I doing?

I'm reading right 2030 minutes a day of dedicated reading because leaders or readers hear like Jim.

I can't read him a book a week because the average person recently about one or two books a year.

But the CEO reads about 4 to 6 books a month, right?

Do you want to get to about a book a week?

So remember, first you make your habits, and then your habits make you designed the first hour a day to be brain friendly and you'll win the rested.
