5 EASY STEPS TO A BETTER LIFE

1. Get enough sleep. Often prioritizing 8 hours a night. It's surprising to me how undervalued sleep is. But if you wake up rested, everything that comes next is easier.
2. Wake up early. Follow the advice of Ben Franklin, who was a big proponent of "early to bed, early to rise." If you want to get in the habit of early rising, raise the shades in your bedroom, and let the natural light wake you with the sun.
3. Exercise. You have to be physically healthy to be mentally healthy and strong. Starting your day with exercise is a great way to get there.
4. Spend time with loved ones. This doesn't require much explanation. The more time you spend with the ones you love, the better off you both are, especially if you can manage to carve out time in the morning to do it.
5. Go outside. Fresh air and wide open skies can do wonders to open up your mind to a successful day. You'd be surprised what interesting thoughts can emerge when the rest of the world is quiet.
