1. Take a Walk First Thing in the Morning

Take 5 Minutes outside to go once around the block before doing anything else.

This will gets us ready for the day and air out the stress of the day before. A little movement can go a long way especially early on!

2. Relax the Muscles around your Eyes

This is where most of the tension builds up throughout the day. Try it right now:

Close your eyes and massage your temples, eyebrows, and upper cheekbones. 1 Minute each. Then stretch your body and open your eyes widely. You will immediately feel more relaxed, I promise.

3. Keep a Record of Motivating/Happy Tools

It’s incredibly difficult to come up with fun/motivating things to do when you feel like crap, which is when you actually need them the most.

Keep a list around that you believe in and are willing to use when you feel down. Write down the things that actually make you feel motivated and happy when they do and you won’t stay negative or unmotivated for longer than you choose to.

4. Write Down 3 Things you Want to Accomplish Today

No more, no less. Just 3 things that you must do for the entire day.
