Plan my J.BALDS if I haven't completed it the night prior

Let the Light In to help set your circadian rhythm

Stretch across the whole bed like a starfish, take up as much space as you can!

Say aloud, "Today is gonna be a great day!" If you think there's no way this is gonna be true because it's quite possibly the worst day of your life, add this modifier, "Today is gonna be a great day... somehow."

Make your bed. It creates momentum.

Drink one cup of water before the coffee.

Decide now on what you'll eat for dinner or plan a deliberate deviation (indulgent food) for some time this week. No guilt.

Start your day asking one RIGHT QUESTION. For example, "How can I make weight loss easy today?" 

Don't Hit Snooze

Practice Gratitude

Drink Water because dehydration causes headaches and fatigue, and makes it hard to concentrate. Maybe Add some electrolytes for the win.

Have a healthy first meal including healthy fats (olive oil, avo, nut butter) veg for fiber and protein (yogurt, eggs)

Don't look at your phone. Charge that sucker in a different room. begin your day with YOUR priorities, not j.Crew's priorities (aka don't read email first thing)!

Pump Up the Jam: boost your mood and start your day on an energetic note.

Move It: activity in the morning improves memory and decision-making, and people who work out in the morning lose more weight.

Act As If: Smiling stimulates the release of endorphins, which boost your mood.

Get Listy: making lists allows your brain to worry less

Read: it reduces your heart rate and blood pressure to help you feel less anxioius and more relaxed. Reading relieves stress as well as yoga does!

18 DAYS: Be patient and stay consistent because it takes at least 18 consecutive days to form a healthy habit. Focus on progress.

Set thermostat to your ideal daytime temp 30 min. before you want to wake, to signal to your body that's time to rise.

Limit decision-fatigue with a Weekday "Uniform." Clothing Capsules are awesome.

Exercise before eating can burn up to 20% more fat

Exercise outdoors: Those who were exposed to moderate or higher intensity light earlier in the day had lower body mass indexes and lower fat percentage than those who were exposed to light later in the day (American Academy of Sleep Medicine)
