The Antidote to Busyness

May 29, 2025 • Robin Sharma • Season 1 • Episode 1157

I believe that a calibrated morning routine is one of the most important habits for an exceptionally great life. The way you begin your day very much sets up how your day unfolds.

Of course…

…starting with MVP [Meditation, Visualization, Prayer] is powerful.

…doing a sweaty workout while hydrating and listening to a fascinating audiobook is magic.

…speaking some mantras and reciting some affirmations is enriching.

Yet, without some time reflecting and recording in your journal, I don’t believe a morning routine is fully loaded.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

What is the antidote to busyness and being reactive? It's reflection. And it's not really common in our world right now. A hundred years ago, we would spend a lot of time on the farm. I mean, there wasn't a lot of technology. We spent a lot of time in reflection, taking these long walks, writing in a journal, having conversations with intimate friends. We would reflect on deeper things. And I'm simply suggesting to you that the ritual that will absolutely predict your success is how much time you spend in silence, solitude, and stillness. Just thinking. Thinking about how you're living. Thinking about how you're working. Thinking about whether your daily behavior is aligned with your deepest values. Thinking and reflecting about what's your impact through the work you're doing. ask yourself this question or write about it in your journal. What is the one project that if I did it flawlessly over the next three months would literally change the game for
me within my organization and within my marketplace? But if you look at the people who are getting traction on great results, they are people who spend a lot of time alone and they spend a lot of time thinking and they spend a lot of time in this ritual of reflection.
