Now in the episode this week, I'll break down my personal favorite morning routine, why I believe your best morning routine will include a healthy dose of fresh air, and the real reason why morning routines matter in the first place.

Let's get to it.

So to kick off this conversation about the potential best morning routine ever, I want to tell you my history with running.

My running story actually plays a very important role in my personal obsession with morning routines, as well as it plays a central role in the origin story of the 5 A.M. miracle itself.

So let's go back to the early 2000s.

At this point, I was in high school and I had just joined the track team.

I spent many years as a kid playing a lot of soccer, probably 10 years or so, and so I loved to run in the sense of playing that sport.

But outside of that, I had not done any.

When track and field came around, I had the chance to try new things.

So I was doing triple jump, high jump, doing lots of sprinting events, 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter dash.

I wanted to do more, but my track coach told me no.

But essentially, I was young, I was thin, I was fast, I was bouncy, and so I liked to try a lot of new things, and I really fell in love with this kind of idea that I could do more than what I had done previously.

But then we fast-forward a few years to college, and I don't know, I gained some weight, I wasn't as healthy, college took a beating on my body, and by the end of my college career, I was in desperate need of a health reinvention.

And so when my friend Chris asked me to run with him, to actually try some long distance running, because he was interested in potentially doing a half marathon or a full marathon at some point, I thought, "Yes, let me join him, the two of us can run together, and maybe I'll get in shape, maybe I can get my life back together in that sense."

And what I found was that I love to run, and not just running 100 meters at a time, but running a mile, or up to five or six miles at a time.

And I really proved to myself that not only can I run longer, but I'm really good at it, and I want to do more of it.

Am I really good?

I mean, not competitively, but really good compared to who I thought I was and what I thought I could do.

So then a few years later, I've now graduated college, I'm living in Boston, and I decided at that point I want to try my personal first road marathon.

And so I trained in the hills of Boston to actually get myself built up to that distance.

And I ran my first marathon in Providence, Rhode Island, just south of Boston, and it was easily the hardest thing I've ever done up to that point.

But it proved to me that I could do it, and I had the potential to do it better.

Then you fast forward another year or two, my wife Tess and I had moved to Nashville at that point, and I got really into trail hiking and mountain climbing and exploring nature in new ways, and so my running took a twist.

Now it wasn't just road running, it was trying things on the trails.

I then at that point decided to build up to ultra marathons.

So not just running the traditional 26.2, but I was really pushing the limits for going past that and running full ultra marathons.

Which I didn't do a ton of, but enough to prove to myself I could, which was plenty for me at the time.

And then at some point I broke my foot and took a long break and then basically quit.

Long story short is in that time period, I discovered a love for running, I got pretty good at it, and one of the key things I did as I was training for the marathons and ultra marathons was leveraging trail running as one of my best preparation tools.

And I fell in love with the trails.

They became one of the most impactful components of my entire physical fitness plan.

I really couldn't believe how much I loved just being out in nature.

Yes, hiking, yes the potential for mountain climbing, but really it was trail running itself that I was most obsessed with.

And so in this process of falling in love with the trails, I also realized that the best time for me to do this was early in the morning.

And so in order for me to get myself out to the trail, I had to wake up early and get out there to the park and have my awesome experience and then the rest of my day could happen later, which was either going to work or just having a fun weekend with my wife.

But either way, the day needed to start on the trail.

It needed to begin in this experience of an outdoor adventure.

And that for me was this pivotal life-changing experience, was realizing how much better my day was if the first choice I made was to go do something I was in love with.

And that's what I did.

I would wake up and go to the trail on most mornings, and it set the tone for a life I wanted to live.

It radically shifted my perspective on what a morning could be and the power behind it.

And yes, of course, the miracle of 5 a.m. came from this time period of my late 20s.

All that to say, why you may or may not love your mornings is going to be a little different than my story.

But the foundational elements are still going to be true.

The thing that you look forward to doing, the reason why you're out of bed early, to bounce out of bed with enthusiasm.

That's a weird thing.

Most people don't do that.

Even I have many mornings where that's a struggle to do.

It is not the norm.

So the question becomes, can you achieve that?

Do you even want to achieve that?

It's a whole separate question, but also an important one.

But from my perspective, morning routines matter a great deal.

They are the foundation for your day.

Number one, morning routines matter because they solidify that you care about how your time is spent.

Of all the people that I've met who are successful, who are high achievers, who are go-getters of the world, I can tell you one thing that is absolutely certain with all of them, and that's they value their time and they want their lives to matter.

And so they've got 24 hours in the day just like you and I do, and yet somehow some people spend those hours doing things that make a bigger difference than others.

They use that time in a more wise way than maybe you or I do.

We can learn from them.

One of the things that I wanted to do was to solidify for myself that I can be that person, that I can value my time and do so first thing in the day.

My first decision should be to care about my life right away and get up and go.

So yes, a morning routine matters because it solidifies your value of time itself.

And also of course, number two, sets the tone for the rest of the day.

So your first morning activity will set the energy cycle for the day, it will set your priorities for the day, it will reaffirm what you want that day to be about.

I have found this to be more impactful than I thought that it would because I really thought that my first activity would feel separate from the rest.

But really it's just the beginning, it's the starting point for the rest, which is a really fun way to view it.

And the third and final big reason why morning routines matter is they establish your values.

And by that I mean the 5 a.m. miracle, the first decision you make in the day, the activity itself that you choose, that establishes what you are currently focused on.

It establishes what you want in life right now.

Now maybe that's reading, maybe it's yoga, maybe it's a business project, maybe it's trail running, I don't know, maybe it changes throughout the seasons, but it's pretty likely.

But the point is that it establishes what you care about, it reaffirms your goals and the things you want from your day.

So your morning routine can be chaotic, it can be stress-inducing, it can be a bunch of nonsense, or it can be simple and beautiful and impactful.

So my challenge to myself, my challenge to you is to ask these types of questions.

Why do morning routines matter to you or do they matter to you at all?

Because if your routine matters, if your mornings matter, if your time matters, you're going to spend it differently than if you didn't care at all.

You're just going to make different choices and I would argue you're going to make much better choices once you've made the decision to solidify that this is the you you want to be and this is the direction you want to go.

So what is the best morning routine?

I have pitched this as the best morning routine ever, which is a super tall order and honestly very subjective and frankly there's no way that I can provide that for you.

However, what I can do is give you a few set of criteria to establish what that may include.

Number one, whatever routine you can sustainably and repeatedly do will practically be your best routine.

I want to start with practicality because that is one of the most, I don't know, the most essential components.

If you juxtapose practicality with an ideal vision, you're going to see a big difference here.

So a lot of people, myself included, have talked about ideal weeks, ideal routines, ideal rhythms and flows and that whole conversation of the ideal is in all respects a fantasy.

We are asking the question, what if?

What if things could be significantly better?

What if they could be almost perfect?

And that conversation, though engaging and interesting and creative, just isn't rooted in reality.

As much as I love to think big, oftentimes your most sustainable and successful routines will be rooted in practicality.

They will come from the realism of your life and so you're going to have to first start with the bigger picture, what is possible, but it's going to come back to what are you actually going to do?

You know yourself, you know your norms, you know what you typically do.

And so I ask the question, what routine can you sustainably and repeatedly do?

Because that's going to be your best routine, practically, realistically, that's your best.

Whatever is going to happen over and over again and so the real best place to begin is where you are right now and we make small tweaks, little itty bitty adjustments to get it slightly better than the last one.

In my book, The 5 AM Miracle, I discuss this idea that you could actually wake up a little bit earlier in 15 minute increments, not three hours earlier, it's not a 3 AM wake up call.

But it could be in small little doses, I make little pivots and then my routines get a little bit better and a little better and 1% better.

And over time, that adds up to tremendous and significant change.

And so in that sense, your best morning routine is something you're going to consistently achieve each and every morning as you make it a little better and a little better and a little better.

So start in practicality and make small adjustments.

The second component to your best morning routine is going to be choosing activities that reinforce your values.

This is the emotional connection to your morning.

This is the reason why you get up.

If I talk about this concept of bouncing out of bed with enthusiasm of a 5 AM miracle and your gut reaction is, "No, no, no, no, no, no, that's not me."

I would argue it's not that you are opposed to early mornings.

I would argue you just haven't yet connected emotionally with a thing you really want to do first thing in the day.

Or you fundamentally believe you just don't have time, which on some schedules, that is true.

But on most, there's wiggle room.

On most, there is negotiable time.

And so if you're looking for, "Why would I wake up early?

How could I make my routine the best it could be?"

That will always start with emotion, not logic.

It will start with a connection, not practicality.

Even though I began with that conversation, the emotional connection is the why.

It's the soulful reason why you love something.

It's why I choose the trails.

I love trail running because of the emotion behind it, not the logic.

I can tell you all day long the logical, scientific reasons why being outside is good for your health, why trail running makes me healthier in all these different, very specific ways.

Who cares?

I love it.

That's why I go back again and again.

It's the emotional connection that makes these things possible.

And anywhere in your life, if you are lacking an emotional connection, if it's not there, you're going to have to force yourself to do the work.

And it's either going to be terribly miserable to do it, or you're not going to do it at all.

This is why diets fail.

This is why careers can fail.

It's why relationships can fail.

Because if the emotion's not there, what are we doing?

It's not going to work.

We start with that emotion and we marry that with the practicality, and we find a solution that's actually sustainable and repeatable and beautiful.

And the third and final element for what makes a best morning routine for you is choosing whatever prepares you best for what's about to happen next.

In other words, yes, you set the tone for the day, but you're also asking yourself the question, "What's the most important thing that will happen in the next day?"

Let's imagine that you have a 9 to 5 job, and your most important thing is to show up fully prepared at 9 a.m. for your job and do your first activity, your first meeting, your first assignment really well.

You want to be on the ball when that clock starts at 9.

Well, how do you prepare yourself to show up fully?

What does it look like to be ready at 9 a.m.?

This was my question to myself in my mid-20s, which is what led to me waking up at 5 a.m. to go for a morning run to prepare myself mentally and physically so that when I got to the office a little bit early, I was ready?

This is a very important question for your lifestyle in general, is what's going to make you your best self for when it matters most?

And for most of us, if you have a regular job, if you have an important objective in the day, and it's going to happen fairly early, 9, 10 a.m., let's say, you're going to need a morning routine that sets you up to be your best at that point in time.

So for me, the morning routine question is one of what can I do to make sure I show up for that activity, for that job, for that assignment?

I want to be my best.

So for you, this is a subjective question.

What is it that fills in that void?

What is that gap going to be filled with?

Is it a physical activity?

Is it a mental one, like reading or working?

The answer could change, but it needs to be aligned to what that vision would be for you and your schedule.

Now I want to pivot this conversation just slightly.

I want to go from the conversation of what makes your morning routine the best it could possibly be to my personal vision for what I want you to do.

It sounds kind of ridiculous, but what I want to do in this episode, for the most part, is really make the argument that I have the answer already for you, that I know what's going to fill in that gap, that I know what's going to be the thing that sets you up for the rest of your day.

And that answer is very simple.

Get outside.

That's it.

Now I'm going to give you seven reasons why that matters, but at the core of what this is, I fundamentally and firmly believe your best morning routine will be rooted in fresh air.

It'll be rooted in outdoor activities.

That's not to say there's not value in other activities that could be awesome as well, but it's to say that we're human.

And as humans, we evolved being outdoors.

We didn't evolve doing the things we do today.

Our human experience in the 21st century is radically weird by comparison to our ancient ancestors.

We are not who they were, and yet we are.

And I think that one of the best things we could do is to tap into our DNA, tap into our history in that sense of saying, there's a reason why when you get some fresh air and some sunlight in your face, you feel better.

We're born for that.

We're built for that.

There's a reason why we feel a connection when we're in nature.

It's who we are as people.

And if we hide from that, if we stay indoors, if we're in artificial lighting all day, if we sit in chairs at computers all day, we weren't born for that.

We're not meant for that.

We do it.

I do it sometimes, hopefully less than I had before.

But that's not it.

I really, really firmly believe here that there's a reason why I'm obsessed with the trail and with nature.

And it's because that's where I belong.

I'm not going to live there per se, but I need to get back to it.

So I hope you hear me out on this, that there are a lot of reasons to get outside before breakfast, but it's rooted in this concept that we are meant to be outside, that that's who we are as people.

So the very first and most important reason I just mentioned to get outside before breakfast is that fresh air wins every time.

Stale air just doesn't cut it.

I have air purifiers in my house in almost every single room.

I have worked really hard to make the air in my house breathable, but I don't breathe as well in my air conditioned house as I do if I just step outside.

There's something different about it.

There's an indoor track at my gym.

It's a very small indoor track, very short.

And a lot of people will walk this indoor track on repeat over and over and over.

It's literally like 11 laps for a mile.

It's a very small track and they'll walk this track in repeat for a long time.

And I just look at these people and I think, why is that the decision?

There may be a practical reason for it.

But when I juxtapose that with a walk outside with a hike in the woods or on a trail, it's no contest.

There is no no scenario in my life where I'm going to choose an indoor track when I have the option to be outside.

When that's available, I will take it.

If I have the option to breathe fresh air, I will do that.

There's a lot of my life that was spent basically neglecting or rejecting what I feel called to do.

And I really just doubling down on this concept that when I do the things that fill me up, I am better for it.

I can logically make a list of what I think those things would be.

But once again, it's the emotional connection to what these things are that speak volumes.

So if you do that, if you go get that fresh air and you do so intentionally when previously you used to stay indoors, you can feel the difference.

You can see it.

I don't think it's argument based strongly that you get what fresh air is.

It matters.

But I'm telling you, that is the thing you can breathe in and experience immediately.

Second big reason to get outside before breakfast is that movements, especially outdoor movements, breaks the stagnation from sleeping in a way that nothing else really can.

So one of the things I have focused on the last few years, especially, is to start my day with more water and an elevated heart rate.

And when I get those two things and those two things are done outdoors, oh, you can't stop me there.

Oh, my gosh, I'm unstoppable.

My day, my life, boom, rocket ship moment.

Water and an elevated heart rate outdoors makes me my best self.

It's not caffeine, it's not supplements, it's not some other trick or weird strategy or app on my phone.

No, the thing that makes me my best self is so foundational, so fundamental, so basic, so simple, so obvious, and yet so missed by so many of us.

Myself included at various seasons in my life.

So movement is going to be the thing that's going to get you out walking, hiking, running, swimming, cycling, jumping, twisting, stretching, all of these activities that get your heart pumping.

So you can breathe that fresh air, so you can connect with the season you're currently in.

Right now, it's turning fall.

The fall weather is here, it's cooling down outside here in Nashville, it's beautiful.

This is honestly my favorite season to be outdoors, but it doesn't mean that I neglect the other seasons.

It actually just means I enjoy this one more than the others, but I'm still out there, still moving, still breathing.

And if we go back to my story of running, one of the very first things that I discovered about myself when I was training for my marathon, my first one in Boston, was that the Boston weather is intense.

It gets very cold, very snowy.

It is a treacherous place to live.

And so when I was trying to run in the middle of this difficult Boston winter, I had to overcome a lot of my personal inclinations to stay indoors.

My temptation was to say, "Well, the weather is not fantastic.

I'll just wait till the weather improves."

That was never going to happen.

I've been waiting for a long, long time.

And so I realized very quickly, if I want this, if I want the outside time, if I want this marathon, I'm just going to have to figure out how to exist in the weather as it is.

And so I very quickly overcame any apprehension I had towards rain, snow, heat, wind, all the things that might stop someone from being outdoors.

I basically said, "I don't care.

I'll just change my clothes and I'll go anyway."

And that simple decision allowed me to move and to do so outside in a way that was transformative.

It was absolutely fundamental to me achieving that goal was being able to say, "That's not an obstacle anymore.

Weather is not going to stop me.

The cold is not going to stop me.

A foot of snow is not going to stop me."

Literally, my very first big snow run, it had snowed 18 inches in the course of like five days in Boston.

And I went for a 15-mile run, I believe that's what it was, in the middle of this massive snowy season.

And it was just so enlightening.

It was one of those experiences I've never forgotten because it's one of those you can't forget.

When you put yourself in the middle of Mother Nature and you embrace it and you find this beauty in it, you're no longer scared of it.

You're no longer trying to hide from it.

In fact, you run towards it and you want to be in it more.

There's such a power there.

It's a magnet that draws you to it when you discover what's there.

And it doesn't take long to discover it because Mother Nature is beautiful and these opportunities are endless.

And wherever you live in the world, you have the chance to get outside, so you want to take that and you want to move.

Reason number three why getting outside before breakfast will change your entire life is the simple concept of energy.

This is something that I have already described in parts, but I can't really explain it fully because it just is.

Which is that there is a unique X-factor that comes from being outside in regards to your energy.

Whether it is the fresh air or the sunshine in your face or just the idea you could explore or go around and see different things, there is something beautiful about the energy that I get from an outdoor experience.

And so let's take the morning routine as a good example of a time when you want more energy.

You want to transition from sleep into being awake and you want to do so in a way that is helpful and healthy and beautiful.

And if you can go outside and get a natural source of energy that just fills you up, combine that with some nice fresh water and some movement, and all of a sudden your energy is going to spike.

And there was no caffeine involved, no weird tricks, no phone apps.

This is just mother nature.

Basic fundamentals.

The energy here is a powerful thing and is the reason why I choose healthy activities as my 5 a.m. miracle.

It's because I want the energy and then the enthusiasm that comes from that and then to apply that to the work that I do throughout the day.

The core of the 5 a.m. miracle is the enthusiasm that I get from the energy that I get from the morning activity that I choose.

It's all connected and it all stems from the same source.

Wake up on purpose and choose an activity that fills you up.

That's it.

And when that happens, honestly, that's a miracle because we just don't get it off it enough.

Most people do not begin their days like this.

They don't fill themselves up like this.

And if you do and you experience it, you are in a special place.

You are experiencing something that others just don't.

And it is it's hard to describe because it's just so great.

Reason number four to get outside before breakfast.

I've actually just described a lot, which is that nature is awesome.

One of the things that I have really put a strong emphasis on is when I spend time outdoors, I do my very best to disconnect from technology.

Now, I typically do bring my phone with me on these workouts on a trail run or a hike or outdoor time.

But I'll put my phone into a waste pouch and I'll put it behind my back.

I don't want to touch it.

I don't want to look at it.

It's available if I need it.

But I generally don't.

And so this is one of those cases of if you can have a technology free nature-rific experience, why not?

Right.

Spend a few moments with the birds and the squirrels and the insects and the trees and the roots and the rocks and all the things that Mother Nature provides.

That is why I love the trails.

It's why I love trail running specifically is because I get to very quickly move throughout the world in a way that just allows me to be fully immersed in nature.

Because if I don't intentionally choose that, if I don't go out of my way to do that, I will not experience it.

This is the modern experiences that we are in these shelters, our homes and offices and cars.

They shelter us from Mother Nature.

They hide us from the outside world.

And if you don't purposefully go out sometimes to see it and be in it, you may not see it at all for a long, long time.

Now, I don't know where you live.

Maybe you do live in the woods.

My guess is you don't.

Based upon my data, my podcast listeners, you probably live in an urban environment, which means nature is something you have to go out of your way to see.

And my argument is it's worth it.

It is worth it to take the time and the energy.

And if there's money involved, that's fine, too.

But generally, nature is free.

So you just get to go be in it, but to embrace it and experience it and to understand its value.

That is life changing right there.

Reason number five on a very similar and related note, creativity spikes when you get outside before breakfast.

One of the key reasons why people recommend going for a walk or movement in general or taking a break from your computer is that when you lower your stress levels, when your cortisol levels, the hormone of cortisol, when it's reduced in your body, it frees up the blood flow and frees up your brain to actually have more creativity.

That's why you get epiphanies in the shower.

Those aha moments that happen when you slow things down.

Well, if you live in a world where creativity matters, whether you view yourself as an artist or a creator or you just like to have fresh new ideas, creativity matters and you get that when you give yourself the chance to slow down.

Those creative epiphanies and aha moments show up over and over again when you do things like taking a walk, like meditation, going for a hike, just sitting in nature.

It's when you slow down that those things show up and it's this beauty of my brain just turns on and turns on in a way that otherwise never can.

I love productivity.

I love checking boxes and getting things done.

I'm obsessed with the idea of saying that every day has value and I can look back at the previous day and say, "Look at all the things I got done."

But you know what I love more than that?

I love those moments of discovery.

Discovering that there is more to my day than check boxes, that there is more to my day than some stupid to-do list.

I love those creative moments of saying something magical just happened because I got a thought I otherwise would not have had.

And you get that in these moments of being outside and when your day begins like this, you get more of those thoughts every single day and that's powerful.

On a related note, reason number six to get outside before breakfast is the stillness.

So I just mentioned that creativity can show up when you slow things down.

One of the funny things about Mother Nature is that stillness is actually not taking place there.

Mother Nature is actually a very busy place.

There's actually a lot going on.

But by comparison to our regular busy lives, it feels like nothingness at first.

It feels like a very quiet place.

But one thing I know is when I go for a hike, I go for a trail run, I spend some time in nature, I feel that sense of stillness in me even though I can then recognize the busyness and the activity of what's going on around me.

Like literally the animals and the insects and the trees and the wind.

It's a beautiful thing and the kind of inner peace that I get from that stillness, from that experience, is something I cannot match in any other way.

I can't recreate it somewhere else.

It's only there that it happens.

And so it's a unique and precious thing to prioritize in that sense.

And I also know that me as a guy who loves his caffeine and loves his productivity, that if I don't juxtapose that with intentional stillness, I am missing out on those not just creative opportunities, but I'm missing out on a part of me and a part of life that I otherwise would not get.

There is something special about slowing things down.

Not all the time, not for weeks unnecessarily, but even just a few moments a day.

A few moments to recognize, to pause.

It's very powerful.

Finally, reason number seven to get outside before breakfast.

I kind of hinted at this earlier.

Reason number seven is exploration.

There's really nothing else in life that inspires me more than going on a grand adventure.

And being outdoors is one of the best reminders I can imagine that we live in a big world and we should be exploring it.

We should be looking for opportunities to be involved in more of it, to find new roads to walk in your neighborhood or new trails to hike, new people to meet.

One of the big reasons why I fell in love with the trails initially was my opportunity to find new trails to hike and explore and run and see and map out and look at the different ways in which the Nashville, Middle Tennessee community actually exists.

Nashville is a cool place.

We have access to some amazing trails here and we're not even in the mountains.

And so one thing that really inspires me there is to realize that wherever you happen to live, there is more to explore.

There's more to see.

There's more to do.

There is more than meets the eye.

And the idea that I could get out and see more of the world and be in it, that's one of the biggest reasons why I want to bounce out of bed because I want to go see what's possible.

I want my day to have meaning and honestly, I don't have to look for it.

It draws me out because I get to go explore and do something new.

Now, I've lived in Nashville for 15 years now, so I know these trails backwards and forwards.

So I have to be a little more creative on what exploration actually means today.

And so my adventures are different than they were.

But it's the same draw.

It's the same kind of necessity for the outdoor time, which is to see what's possible, to find new things and appreciate new things as well.

Having said all of this, I hope I gave you a pretty strong rationale for why being outdoors matters, why nature is amazing, why morning routines are phenomenal.

And I hopefully made the case that your best morning routine ever will involve this quintessential step of just being outdoors, even for a few minutes.

But of course, I want to hear from you.

What do you think about this?

Is your best morning routine something that involves being outside or am I missing the mark here?

Email me, jeff@geffsanders.com.

I would love to hear from you.

And for the action step this week, redefine your morning routine.

I would like you to choose one primary activity to act as the driver for your best mornings or choose a few activities to go back and forth between.

But whatever you choose, make it practical, repeatable, sustainable and meaningful.

Of course, my vote goes for anything that gets you moving your body or engaging your mind in an outdoor activity that you're emotionally drawn to, which sounds like a lot of fun.

And that's kind of the idea.
