Brainstorm a list of mental, physical, and spiritual practices that you can use to build your morning ritual. Then, choose a few of these practices from the list (ideally three to five) and put them into a schedule for your ideal new morning ritual. Test it out for a few days and see how it goes, then make any adjustments that might be needed.

Assignment 2: Identify your limiting beliefs (4 points)

Even after you slow down, keep writing until you’ve fully exhausted all the limiting beliefs you can identify, from your childhood to the present day. It is recommended to spend at least 10 minutes on this exercise.

Veterans: Simply review your previous list of limiting beliefs and remove any that are no longer relevant and/or add any others that may have crept in.
