The Morning Routine That Changes Everything

Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just stuck? You’re not alone. Whether you’re a dentist, office manager, hygienist, or part of the front office team, the pressure of managing a practice and serving patients can weigh heavily. But what if your morning routine could be the launchpad for an entirely different day and a better version of you?

At the Dental A Team, we coach more than just systems. We help teams and leaders build the mindset and momentum that unlock lasting success, both personally and professionally. That’s why we’re sharing one of our favorite tools: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. It’s more than a book, it’s a blueprint for turning chaos into calm and burnout into daily progress.

What Is The Miracle Morning Routine?

Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning outlines six foundational habits, called SAVERS, that prime your mind and body for productivity, joy, and resilience. These habits aren’t complicated. But practiced daily, they rewire your mindset and infuse your day with intentional energy.

Here’s how the SAVERS routine works:

• S = Silence
  Start your day with 1–5 minutes of meditation, breathwork, or prayer to calm your mind.

• A = Affirmations
  Speak encouraging truths about who you are and what you’re creating. Example: “I am committed to building a practice that brings joy and value.”

• V = Visualization
  Picture yourself running your dream practice. See the team thriving. Feel the wins—before they happen.

• E = Exercise
  Even 60 seconds of movement boosts oxygen to the brain and clears mental fog.

• R = Reading
  Feed your brain with something positive. A page a day compounds fast.

• S = Scribing (Journaling)
  Write down wins, intentions, and self-love. This is your space to build inner momentum.

Why Dental Leaders Need This

Dentistry demands more than clinical skill. To lead a thriving, fulfilled team, you need mental clarity, emotional regulation, and daily intention. That starts with your morning routine.

Here’s what one of our clients discovered:

“I used to show up to the office already stressed. Now, my mornings are sacred. I visualize success. I speak affirmations. My team feels the difference and so do my numbers.”
– Practice Owner, Arizona
