The Amazing Thing That Happened When I Started This 5 Minute Habit

There is an incredible power in 5 minutes of time.  It all comes down to how you use it.  

A number of years ago, I started a daily habit that takes me about 5 minutes to do.  It was a little awkward at first, but didn't take long to prove itself as one of the most important things I do in my day.  

In fact, it has helped not only my focus and productivity, but also my attitude and way that I look at life.

What is the habit?  It is my daily "3 to Thrive" exercise.  In this exercise I do the following:
  • Write down 3 things I am truly grateful for
  • Write down my 3 most important priorities to accomplish for the day
  • Say a short prayer

The reason 3 to Thrive works so well is the simplicity of it and the way it focuses you.  First, you choose 3 things to be grateful for.  This makes a big difference in your attitude and makes you think about what really matters.  It also makes you feel good and start your day with good in your life.  Next, you choose the 3 most important priorities for you to accomplish that day.  This focuses you and puts the most important things right in front of you from the start of the day keeping them forefront.  Lastly, I say a little prayer.  This centers me and allows me to communicate directly with God each day.  Whether you are religious or not - having a way to center yourself before you start your day is critical.  What that is for you is up to you.

I have done this routine now for many years and although I'm not perfect (sometimes I miss a day), I can say it is the most important daily habit that I have.  This one little 5 minute exercise has made a major difference in all areas of my life over the years and I know it will do the same for you.  Try it for a week and watch the difference it makes for you.  It's amazing what a little 5 minute habit can do.
