S633: What's the Best Way to Start the Day?

"Invest the first hour of the day, the 'Golden hour,' in yourself." ~Brian Tracy  On this Frequently Asked Friday, we tackle the question: What is the best way to start the day?  While everyone has their preferences, there are a few helpful habits everyone can benefit from. First, the prep for a great day tomorrow starts today. Set up your success for tomorrow with your choices today. Some swear by getting up early, but this depends on your own situation. But leave yourself at least an hour before you have to get going. That extra quiet time gets you organized, giving you time to prioritize your tasks and fit in those healthy morning habits.  Listen in for more tips on the best way to start your day, how gratitude comes into play, and how setting the tone for the rest of your day pays dividends in productivity and peace. Enjoy the episode!
