Self-care routine… I find it extremely crucial how I start my day. If I know I have a busy day ahead of me, I set my alarm 30 minutes before I get up, and focus on relaxing my mind and body. Deep breathing, stretching, and quietly thinking positive thoughts to myself.

Based on past experiences, if I am in a rush in the morning knowing I have a stressful/busy/long day ahead of me, I find that using the extra 30 minutes to focus on my well-being goes a long way. This simple task can help turn a potential bad day into a good day.
