Welcome back to Selfdom. Today is a solo episode all about seizing your morning! I am the biggest believer in the power of a morning routine. This time is sacred to me, and sets the tone for my entire day. Creating a solid morning routine has been life changing for me. I am calmer, more focused and to be honest a nicer person in general because I have my “me” time every day. A big reason I am such a believer in seize the morning seize the day is because I know how crazy our days can be. We often have plans to go to the gym after work but then a meeting is pushed back, or we just feel a lot more tired in the afternoons. By getting it done in the morning, you have already achieved a goal. Not only does this take pressure off for getting it done after a busy day of work, it also means you are in a better mood all day because you have already achieved something before the business day has started. A reminder throughout this episode is that waking up early doesn’t mean you are jeopardising your sleep. More and more studies have come out showing the importance of high quality rest on your overall health. A good nights rest is importance for your cognitive functioning, it boosts your immune system, improves your metabolic health and helps your skin - beauty sleep isn’t a myth! I promise that after a few weeks of sticking to this you will really see the positive impacts to your body and mind. Give these tips and go and let me know how you go. A reminder that I love seeing your dms and messages about your progress, so never be shy to share. Follow me at @selfdom and @dominiquelissa
