Most entrepreneurs mess up their whole day right when they wake up, before their feet even hit the floor. If you’ve ever felt this, know that you can completely change your experience of reality by shifting one simple thing. I stopped asking ‘What do I have to do?’ in the morning and started asking ‘What do I choose to create?’, and this is the morning question that changes everything. Here’s what you might be doing wrong and exactly what you need to do to get your day, and ultimately your life and business, heading in the right direction.
Prefer to watch? I’ve put my video below or if you’re a reader simply continue reading the post.
The Disempowering Question Most People Ask
For most people, the very first question that runs through their mind in the morning is something like, “Oh God, what do I have to do today?” Their mind immediately floods with a list of obligations, problems, and fires they need to put out across their life and business. Their day hasn’t even begun, and they’re already placing themselves in a state of reaction to the expectations for today based on what happened yesterday.
This question, “what do I have to do,” makes you the passenger. It’s disempowering and it locks you into an experience where life is happening to you, making you a victim of its demands. It immediately puts your consciousness into a reaction-based process, and you’re stuck there for the rest of the day. This primes your focus for stress and guarantees you will spend your time pushing, chasing, and grinding just to get through life.
The Morning Question That Changes Everything
The truth is, the most powerful and successful creators on this planet wake up with a different habit. They have a habit of priming their brain by asking a very different question. This is the shift. The conscious creator wakes up and asks…
What do I choose to create today?
Can you feel the difference? From “what do I have to do,” which is rooted in fear, to “what do I choose to create,” which is rooted in love, expansion, excitement, and power. The question is an act of creation itself. It presupposes that you are the one in charge. It acknowledges that you are the creative force, the one choosing the script for your day.
Shifting From Passenger Mode to Pilot Mode
This simple question changes your entire energetic structure. It primes the supercomputer screwed to the top of your neck for creativity, opportunity, and expansive thinking. And that’s where success grows. It doesn’t mean you don’t have responsibilities or that you won’t face challenging situations.
It means that you choose to create a day of flow while you handle those responsibilities and situations with excitement and ease. You choose to create with inspired solutions rather than having to solve problems. You choose the feeling that you will live in today. This one question sets the entire stage and silently shifts you from passenger mode to pilot mode before you’ve even had your coffee.
How to Anchor This Shift Every Morning
Let’s anchor in this morning shift. Every morning, you are going to reprogram your consciousness for success by asking the question, “what do I choose to create?” Here’s how to make it a habit.
- Put it somewhere visible. Write it on a sticky note and stick it to the bathroom mirror. Put it on a piece of paper and set it on your nightstand. Make sure it’s the first thought you have every morning.
- Take 60 seconds to answer. Every morning when you ask yourself this question, take just one minute to answer by listing all the lovely, wonderful, and exciting things you’d like to create that day.
- Start with feelings. If you don’t know how to answer that question, start with how you’d like to create your feelings. What would you like to feel throughout the day?
If you’re new here, my name’s Aarun, and this is lesson 15 in our foundational series on the architecture of reality. I invite you to go back and check out the entire playlist on my channel for more context. This whole series has been the what and the why of how consciousness works. We’re just getting started, so make sure you’re following.
And if you’re ready for the “how”… how to actually reprogram the subconscious beliefs, heal old wounds, and master day-to-day tools to make flow your default state… then your next step may be the in-depth training I’m hosting. It’s where the real work begins to break free from self sabotage and repeating cycles. You can check the schedule for the next class via the link to grab a seat.
Now, let’s lock this into your subconscious. Your subconscious listens when you take action. So comment, “I choose my reality,” and then wake up every morning, ask the question, “what do I choose to create?” Go create a life you love, and I’ll see you on the flip side.
