Morning Routines (Ep. 208)

What did you do this morning?

If you can exert some control over the first parts of your day, you prove to yourself you have the power to do what you want later on.

If you start your day by distracting yourself on Instagram and showing up late to class with no breakfast, you give yourself evidence that you just aren’t a self-disciplined type of person.

Let’s start things off on the right foot, shall we?
