Be honest. How often do you start your morning pounding the snooze button or scrolling your phone under the covers?

I\u2019m going to be real with you: You\u2019re sabotaging your entire day when you start your morning that way. This week, I\u2019m breaking down the science behind why starting your morning off on the right foot doesn\u2019t just give you a natural energy boost. It also dictates your mood, performance, and energy levels from morning to night. And not only that\u2014you sleep better when you start your day off right, too!\xa0

Here\u2019s the good news: There are three super easy steps you can take to kick off a great morning\u2014including one I was very skeptical about, but is now something I\u2019ll never give up. And the best part is, these daily habits are free and accessible to all.

Plus, towards the end of the show, I\u2019m revealing my personal morning routine (hint: it involves some shivering).\xa0

Tune in today so you can start doing these three things tomorrow!\xa0
