Today on The Intentional Life, I speak to my friend Stefan Pylarinos about the power of morning rituals.
Stefan, more than almost anyone I know on the planet, exemplifies the word intentional. Everything that he does has purpose behind it. From the way that he wakes up in the morning to how he goes to bed at night.
He loves on purpose, he works on purpose, and he lives on purpose.
Not only is he a total work horse who puts out a ton of value to the world through his website (appropriately named ProjectLifeMastery.com), he’s also one of the most kind, compassionate, and approachable guys that I’m lucky enough to call a friend.
In this episode, we deep dive into his thoughts on morning routines.
I wrote a piece called Why You Should Have A Morning Routine last month and a lot of people really enjoyed it. So I thought that it would be appropriate to have the morning rituals master on the show to talk shop about what he does for his morning ritual and why.
Enjoy!
