  • 5 Morning Rituals to Boost Your Health, Energy, and Productivity
    Jun 27 2024

    Do you often wake up feeling rushed, stressed, or overwhelmed by the day ahead? This reactive start, coupled with poor sleep, immediate engagement with digital devices, and poor planning, not only decreases productivity but also increases stress, leaving you feeling drained and unprepared for the day.

    Your body responds by releasing stress hormones such as cortisol. These hormones affect your mood, energy levels, and long-term health, leading to cognitive decline, increased blood pressure, a weakened immune system, and potential burnout.



    The great news is that by incorporating the right morning rituals, you can reverse this pattern and set a positive tone for the day, thereby enhancing your health and productivity.



    Tune in for the full list of morning rituals and their health benefits, especially for women who are much more likely to suffer from mood disorders, such as depression.



    In this episode, you'll learn:

    - The effects of starting your morning reactively

    - The benefits of morning sunlight exposure
