Do These 3 Things as Soon as You Wake Up for Peak Energy All Day

Be honest. How often do you start your morning pounding the snooze button or scrolling your phone under the covers? I’m going to be real with you: You’re sabotaging your entire day when you start your morning that way. This week, I’m breaking down the science behind why starting your morning off on the right foot doesn’t just give you a natural energy boost. It also dictates your mood, performance, and energy levels from morning to night. And not only that—you sleep better when you start your day off right, too!  Here’s the good news: There are three super easy steps you can take to kick off a great morning—including one I was very skeptical about, but is now something I’ll 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’m revealing my personal morning routine (hint: it involves some shivering).  Tune in today so you can start doing these three things tomorrow!  Full show notes: jjvirgin.com/peakenergy Andrew Huberman recommends 2-10 minutes of morning sunlight exposure to improve mood, energy, and focus.
