Create Your Powerful Identity
Let's say you wish to excel in the art of painting. Or open your own woodworking business. Or become a Filmmaker which I did many years ago. The key is to utilize a Powerful Identity in reframing your Focus. Let's stick with painter for the moment.
Use the words: "I am a painter." The powerful use of the "I am..." phrase welds this new outlook to you mentally, intellectually but, more importantly, emotionally. Why emotionally? When you talk about painting (or any very exciting goal), then you can feel the electrical excitement within your body and Being.
"Being" is the act of existing within this newly embraced identity. Then you grow and become.

Michael's Kenpo Karate Weapons Form - Knife & Pistol
You can see my Pistol & Knife form at approximately 10:31 here in the video from 2010. This is at Bryan Hawkins Kenpo Karate where I have studied Kenpo Karate for approximately over 35 years. The form is one that I created to advance in the system, utilizing Kenpo Karate principles. I use the form with the primary weapon as the firearm, duly guarded and using the knife for close-in drills. This is the training the Warrior phase!
Create Your Morning Routine Pt 2
The Morning Routine - Simple Breakdown
These physical and mental actions create the very start of your great, positive and productive day. They should combine a number of elements. Here are mine but make up your own Morning Routine.

The Morning Routine - Simple Breakdown
These physical and mental actions create the very start of your great, positive and productive day. They should combine a number of elements. Here are mine but make up your own Morning Routine.
Going into the backyard, I do the following:
Physical Movement - get the blood flowing after 8 hours of sleep. I do 'front to back' switches in all four major directions - North, West, South, East - for 25 times each. These switches are a martial arts foot maneuver, easy to do anywhere, and have me 'take on' (mentally speaking) all four points of the compass!
Mental Movement - I do the Kenpo Short Form One while saying a certain declarative affirmation. This Short Form One is a martial arts form in all four directions too. Very simple.
Affirmations - I have three affirmations that I say about my Personal Growth, Wealth and Happiness and Physical Health. I keep them to myself and - I think - you should write your own unique personal and private ones. But share if you wish.
Plan for the Day - Work out your basic plan for the day, tackling the most important items first. I work to keep email in the afternoon. Otherwise, I will become too distracted with the minutiae.
That's my Basic morning Routine. On other days, I will add in other components like dumbbells, martial arts forms, walking or stretching.
My advice:
Start simple
Do the Morning Routine for 30 days, tweaking it until it's just right.
Repeat for Life
