- Don’t check your email when you wake up. Don’t immediately read the news or turn it on the news on the TV and radio either. Just sit quietly for a few minutes with your morning cup of tea or coffee and let your mind wander. This time for yourself is relaxing and starts your day in a calm way.
- Dry brush your whole body. This is great for improved circulation and skin that glows. Before your shower, start at your feet and work your way up to your body. Brush with long, straight strokes in the direction of your heart. Each stroke should take two seconds, and skip the delicate skin on your neck, decolletage, and face.
