Daily “Hour of Power”


By Joy Bing Fleming, MBA

The “Hour of Power” consists of 20 minutes of meditating or just relaxing, 20 minutes of exercising, and 20 minutes of reading.  If you don’t have an hour in your day, then you can shorten it to 30 minutes. 

Mind Relaxation.  You can use the relaxation time to simply clear your mind, calm down, and get rid of any stresses that you may be feeling.  Sometimes, you may become so calm that you fall asleep.  That’s okay.  Right before you start the “hour of power,” just remember to set your alarm for 20 minutes, so you’ll wake back up.  You can also use the relaxation time to figure out what you’re passionate about and to clarify your purpose.  You can ask yourself:

  • If I absolutely knew that I would not fail, what would I really like to do?
  • If money was not an issue at all, what would I like to achieve?
  • What do I desire most?
  • What really makes me happy?
  • What does success mean to me?
  • When do I feel the happiest and the most alive?
  • What are the top 10 things that I really want in my life?

Exercise.  Everyone needs some form of exercise in their lives.  You can walk or run in the neighborhood, watch a workout video, walk the dog, etc. 



Reading. Reading everyday is very important.  You should read for 20 minutes.  If you don’t have 20 minutes, simply reading 5 or 10 minutes a day will begin to change your life.  Reading positive and inspirational books will improve your self-confidence and help you become an even better person.  Building up your self-confidence will help you overcome your fears.  Your thoughts will change.  You will become a positive thinker.  Once you’re focused on positive events, thoughts, and occurrences, you’ll begin to notice all of the wonderful small things that you missed before (like how amazing it is to see the sunshine outside, getting all green traffic lights on your way to work, getting an up front parking space, etc).

Books concerning your life’s purpose are helpful to read. Books about whatever suits you and whatever brings joy and happiness into your life are also important to read. Reading improves self-esteem, creates awareness, as well as empowers one with unlimited knowledge. The “Hour of Power” has helped me a great deal. 

In school, I had to read many books, and I didn’t find reading enjoyable.  So, when I finished college, I decided that I didn’t want to read anymore books.  Therefore, reading everyday was a challenge for me.  However, when I became interested in learning more about how to figure out my purpose, that made it more enjoyable. Also, today you can purchase many books on CD. Once I focused on reading or listening to a CD just 20 minutes a day, it became alot easier.
