It takes real discipline to put away the work, the distractions, and especially the technology. Find a way to ensure you have at least one anti-productivity FBOT on your calendar every week. You may thank me later when you don t have a nervous breakdown. #2 Plan a Replacement Activity When you decide to do nothing, what you re really doing is replacing one activity with another.
7 The key is to choose the right replacement. From my perspective, that means choosing an activity that rejuvenates you, that replenishes you, that breathes life back into you. When you decide to walk away from work, at the same time you must walk towards relaxation with just as much purpose and intentionality. #3 Drink more liquids. Tessa shared her favorite detox tea this week, but the reality is that both of us drink A LOT of liquids each and every day to stay healthy. I begin each day with a full liter of water, and then the day continues with coffee, tea, smoothies, more water, herbal tea, and on and on. Liquids make a difference, so drink up!

Finally, on the podcast next week I will be discussing my revamped weekly and monthly review systems.
8 There s nothing more powerful than knowing exactly where you are because it provides immense clarity on what to do next. Well, that's it for this episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast. Until next time remember, you have the power to change your life, and the fun begins bright and early. [Fade Music Up and Out]
