178. Rise + Thrive: Morning Wellbeing for an Optimized Day with Emily Prokop (Routine Series, Part 2)

Does your morning routine need a shot in the arm? Check out how a 6-year-old boy kicks his mornings off right, and also how Emily Prokop, the show's editor and my good friend, starts her busy days! Research shows that doing certain things – even for just a few minutes – can help stave off depression in some folks. Whether that's a concern for you or not, we all can benefit from more magnificent days (which add up to beautiful lives) if we take a few minutes to intentionally think about how they start. I'll offer a long menu of activities that might inspire you and then start small!     LET'S TALK THE WALK! ***NEW*** Facebook Group for Our Community! Join here for support, motivation and fun!
