Super Quick Outline of the Morning Routine that Worked for Me (and may for you)

• Begin the day by writing down or verbalizing 5 things you are grateful for. Our view of the world is constructed by what we focus on.

• Read something positive for 30 minutes.

• Carve out anywhere between 1 – 10 minutes to sit in silence and focus on your breathing. You don’t need to be a Zen master to take a few minutes of personal inventory each day.

• Eat something healthy. The benefits are twofold: you’ll feel energized, while also doing something good for your body, mind, and capacity to focus.
