The Miracle Morning for Genealogists: A Daily Ritual to Power Up Your Passion

This afternoon on my blog, Hound on the Hunt, I posted this blog, The Miracle Morning for Genealogists.  You can read it HERE

Think of it as: Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning and Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule meet the Family History Hound.

Whenever I’m in my car, I’m listening to some self-help book or another, and these are my two favorites right now. Miracle Morning, so much so that I bought the physical book so I could “mark it up”… something I never would have done to a book a few years ago.

Why am I so interested in these two books? I think it’s because what it’s suggesting to do is so simple. Get up earlier in the morning and prepare for the day rather than lying in bed scrolling.

My ideas might seem out of the ordinary, but I’ve always thought that we need to maintain open communication with our ancestors. I wrote about this back in 2017 on my blog, The Waiting Room - Are You Listening to Your Ancestors?

So, if you need an affirmation, I've got one for you on my YouTube channel called I’m Strong Enough.

(If you’d like to have your own 12x12 or 8.5x11 card of The Miracle Morning for Genealogists, you can order them on my Etsy Store.

Now let’s talk about the 5-Second Rule. When I read that all you had to do was act on an intuition that you had about something you wanted to do, and rather than take 5 seconds to lose your momentum and talk yourself out of it, all you had to do was count down from 5-4-3-2-1 and then start doing it. I was a skeptic. But I did it anyway.

I must tell you that on the first day I tried it, I was incredibly productive and accomplished a great deal. It made me realize how often I talked myself out of doing things..

What do you have to lose? Give it a try and see if you start feeling more empowered and find that you’re completing more of your projects. I’d love to hear if it helps you, too.
